One of the biggest topics of this year’s NFL Draft (besides, you know, will these guys even have a rookie season?) has been the knee of Clemson DE Da’Quan Bowers. At one point a few months ago, some had him projected to go No. 1 overall. There has been absolutely none of that talk recently. [...]
Shocking news from Michigan, Auburn QB Cam Newton has decided to forgo his final year of eligibility in school and will enter the NFL Draft, according to Jay G.

Could this be one of those moves for Penn St. that shows that Joe Paterno has lost his marbles? Or maybe it’s just a move that says “I’m old and I really don’t give a rat’s ass if he’s a freshman.” No. 19 Penn State will open this season with true freshman Robert Bolden as [...]
Have you ever heard someone say that when you continually have problems with everyone around you that eventually you are the problem? Well, if you haven’t, you just did. We’re pretty much sure that’s the case with USC head coach Lane Kiffin. He infuriated Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders organization for a variety of [...]
Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen is expected to be a pretty high pick in the upcoming NFL draft, even if someone people think he’s going to stink. And it doesn’t help that all last season he was battling a bum toe. MRI’s showed that he did the tendon damage against Michigan State and as of [...]
We obtained this exclusive video, which shows how great of a motivator and coach Texas Tech’s former head coach Mike Leach was:
Texas Tech has released a signed and sworn affidavit from a trainer that says he was instructed by head coach Mike Leach to “lock” Adam James in a closet after he was diagnosed with a concussion. The university said, “After coach Leach’s conflicting recent media accounts of the treatment of James, the university asked witnesses [...]
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach has been “terminated with cause effective immediately.” Leach was recently suspended after allegations surfaced that he twice locked receiver Adam James in a cold electrical closet because James had a concussion and wasn’t going to practice. People tend to look down on that type of stuff, so the firing should [...]

The Florida Gators have gotten their rear ends handed to them by the Alabama Crimson Tide 32-13 in Saturday night’s SEC Championship game.

In yet another example of fans not keeping their crap together, Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen was punched in the face by an irate fan outside a bar in South Bend following a loss to UCONN, according to an ESPN source. South Bend police say that no reports were filed in this incident over the [...]
Hall of Famer and part-time pot stirrer Jim Brown has unloaded on the NFL and the NCAA. “The NFL, with the players association, have been an embarrassment, because the legends of the game who have run into hard times, medically and economically, have been deserted,” Brown said. “It’s a crying shame that an organization like [...]
We saw that Deadspin is collecting awful football team photos and we think they are hysterical. Just for fun, here are some of our favorites:
Oregon lost to Boise St., then senior tailback LeGarrette Blount lost his head. The incident occurred after BSU defensive end Byron Hout ran by Blount and slapped him on his shoulder pads during the postgame gathering at midfield. OTR assumes that Hout did some trash talking as he slapped Blount’s pads. Instead of moving on, [...]
