Duck woes …
Things are tough in and around the Oregon football program these days. Chip Kelly's players can't seem to stay out of trouble and the criticism is building. Here's a complete Associated Press report from what's going on in Eugene: By STEVEN DUBOIS Associated Press Writer PORTLAND, Ore. — The football season began with Oregon getting noticed for the wrong reasons. It ended with a Pac-10 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. The offseason is [+]Just a thought on expansion …
Here's something to consider when you're debating what schools might be invited to join the Pac-10 should the conference decide to expand. Any invitation to any school will require a unanimous vote of the Pac-10's member institutions. That's one reason I don't think Texas and/or Texas A&M are viable candidates. Not because they wouldn't be a great addition to any league -- but because I can't see USC's Lane Kiffin telling his president that he'd love to [+]One way to split up a Pac-12 …
San Jose Mercury-News writer Jon Wilner had an interesting idea when it comes to splitting up 12 teams in a new Pac-10 (although, the latest rumors have the conference now considering as many as 14 or 16 teams ... whew). Wilner suggested splitting the conference like a "zipper," and putting the natural rivals (Oregon-Oregon State, Washington-Washington State, Cal-Stanford, etc.) in different divisions -- but having those rivals still play every year. That way, the teams from the [+]Big couple of weeks for Buffs
Here comes what might be one of the more important stretches in Jeff Bzdelik's tenure in Boulder. With a 12-14 record (3-9 in the Big 12), the Buffs need to win three of their last four to head into the Big 12 Tournament with a .500 record and a decent shot at qualifying for postseason play. It's also CU's last chance to end a dreadful losing streak on the road. Not many folks are counting on a Buff [+]Texas as an independent?
With all the talk about Pac-10 and Big Ten expansion, and what it will mean to other conferences around the nation, here's something that's being quietly mentioned -- but don't be surprised if it picks up a little steam. How about Texas going the independent route, ala Notre Dame? Don't laugh. I've been told that UT folks have been quietly bandying about such a possibility for several years. Now, with the Big 12 possibly facing a hit [+]Expansion tidbits …
Looks like Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti believes Pac-10 expansion is a very real possibility. In a recent column in the Eugene Register-Guard, Bellotti told columnist George Schroeder, “It will be … a very serious thing that will be scrutinized very in-depth." Bellotti also said he thought the league’s presidents “are more willing than they’ve ever been to listen to the idea of expansion, and to consider it.” But, as Schroeder points out in his column, it [+]Sooners might be at full-strength for Buffs …
Reports from Oklahoma are that Willie Warren, Oklahoma's leading scorer, might be available to play Wednesday against the Buffs in Boulder. Warren missed OU's last game, a loss to Oklahoma State, with what's been described as a "mild" case of mono. But he was at practice Monday, and OU coach Jeff Capel said Warren might be available. Also possible for Wednesday's game is freshman center Tiny Gallon, OU's leading rebounder. Gallon has been suspended indefinitely because of [+]Five-star problems in Florida ..
The Florida Gators are having some problems on the defensive line -- particularly with their five-star recruits. Over the weekend, freshman defensive tackle Gary Brown was arrested on two misdemeanor battery charges. An arrest report said Brown was not a good guest at a party. When two women who were hosting the party tried to kick people out, the 6-3, 280-pound tough guy is accused of striking the two women. Always a classy move. Brown, a prize in [+]Sooner LB arrested …
The Daily Oklahoman reports today that linebacker Austin Box was arrested over the weekend after police saw him urinating on some bar stools. Box was booked on a complaint of disorderly conduct by urinating in public and later released, the report states. According to the Oklahoman, Box told police he had been kicked out of the bar and "had to go," according to the report. It's not the first time for good ol' Austin. Evidently, he was [+]More From Choose a category
