The day’s most pivotal players.
Viewers of Thursday night’s UCLA – Arizona game in Tucson were subjected to a lot of offensive behavior, most of it perpetrated against the sport of football itself in a 48-12 Wildcat win. But while the embarrassment of the final score wasn’t bad enough to sideline the Bruins — or their head coach — for a game or two, the embarrassment of a bench-clearing brawl at the end of the first half most certainly was : WALNUT CREEK, Calif
Steven Rodriguez’s throne is not made of sparkling gold. It is a raised circular mound 60 feet, 6 inches away from home plate and covered in baseball clay.
In the last exciting episode of “Missouri Goes to the SEC,” Missouri ‘s Board of Curators emerged from a four-hour closed session to formally authorize chancellor Brady Deaton to “explore” Mizzou’s athletic conference affiliation . Unofficially speaking, it gave Deaton the green light to negotiate a defection from the Big 12 to the SEC, and report back on his progress
Look, I’m not going to lie to you people. On one sideline tonight, there’s a team that just fired its head coach in the wake of an ugly loss that extended its losing streak against FBS competition to nine games.
Michigan fans had no claim on an actual victory after last Saturday’s 28-14 beatdown at Michigan State , but they finally have their moral victory: The Big Ten has officially suspended Spartan defensive end William Gholston for one game as penance for a pair of personal fouls in the second half, when he attempted to realign quarterback Denard Robinson’s head at the end of one play and later threw a punch at offensive lineman Taylor Lewan during another. The conference also issued a public reprimand and send Gholston to his room without dessert
Ryan Broyles threw away history. After fumbling while trying to score a touchdown against Kansas last week, Broyles was so frustrated with himself — he rarely fumbles — that he took off his receiver gloves and tossed them into the trash on the Oklahoma sideline
Jim Weber runs Lost Lettermen , devoted to keeping tabs on former college athletes and other nostalgia. This week, he caught up — briefly — with the man behind “Occupy Herbstreit.” The “Occupy Wall Street” movement protesting economic inequality and corporate greed, now entering its second month, has become a comedic gold mine: It’s already been parodied on “Saturday Night Live” and spawned the hilarious “Occupy Sesame Street” spinoff, which claims “99 percent of cookies are consumed by 1 percent of monsters.” Now college football fans are getting in on a little gridiron-infused fun with “Occupy Herbstreit.” Named for former Ohio State quarterback and current ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, the site spread like wildfire across the blogosphere almost immediately after it debuted last week with pictures of a man amid the Wall Street crowds hiding behind signs that simultaneously poke fun at college football and the economy; they look like they belong behind the set of ESPN’s “College GameDay” instead of parading through lower Manhattan
