Urban Meyer was fined $30,000 on Friday for violating SEC bylaw 10.5.4 when he publicly criticized an official for missing what Meyer felt should have been a personal foul on Georgia player Nick Williams for a late hit on star quarterback Tim Tebow.

The muddled ACC Atlantic may become a little clearer on Saturday night when Division leader Clemson welcomes FSU to Death Valley. The Seminoles have rebounded after some early season stumbles to stay in the Atlantic Division race.

Michigan (0-0) 73, Wayne State 54.
It was an exhibition game against a D-2 team. It's meaningless in the grand scheme of things, and counts toward nothing. Yet it still felt good to be back in Crisler Arena, and perhaps even better to emerge with a win, be it over Duke,' [...]
You heard me right, Urban Meyer is a hypocrite!
The definition of hypocrite is "a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives".
I think that definition describes the Florida Gators Head Coach to a "T".

It's been nearly one week since the Oregon Ducks completely outplayed the USC Trojans.

This Saturday, two great Pac-10 teams will square off when California and Oregon State tangle.
The Golden Bears have had a bit of a disappointing season after being ranked in the top 10 early on. After losing to Oregon and USC badly, they are back in the top 25 again and [...]

Thursday night in Greenville, N.C., the Virginia Tech Hokies played a hard fought battle in a defensive game against East Carolina. The Hokies were victorious 13-3, breaking a two game losing streak and bringing some joy to VT alumnus even in a tough win.
The game was a much needed distraction [...]
Brandon Spikes tried to gouge Washaun Ealey’s eyes during a pile up in the Florida-Georgia game. The video wound up on YouTube, and everybody and his brother is now pretending to be butt-hurt about it.
No one was actually hurt. Spikes made a public apology, and Ealey (the victim) shrugged the [...]

The season is over for the most famous high school football team in America. It wasn't the happy ending everyone wanted.In recent years, there have been some monumental Cinderella stories in college football. Utah in 2004 and 2008. Boise State in 2006. But if you are willing to go back 25 years, to 1984, you will discover one of the greatest stories in the history of sports.
Just a decade earlier, [...]

by Lem SatterfieldPerhaps Glen Johnson's best attempt at head-games during the buildup to Saturday night's 175-pound rematch with IBO titlist Chad Dawson is his refusal to admit defeat.Let's get the cliches and coach-speak out of the way first.
Utah should keep their eye on the ball, approach one game at a time, respect their opponent, and take care of business tomorrow against up-and-coming New Mexico.
Now that that's out of the way, let's discuss what this game really means [...]
At the end of last weekend's nail-biting finish against Arizona State, it was hard not to think back to the first few series of the game. The Sun Devils let key moments literally slip through their fingers early, and it probably made the difference in the game.

Hello and welcome back from your hole, Gamecock fans. Having just crawled out of mine after the horrifying Halloween we just endured, it's time to finally point out the obvious.
Carolina is still an average football team. While it may tease us with tantalizing talent and potential, the team has shown [...]
There was a time when Taylor Mays was a one-man horror show. Wide receivers ducked hits, cut off routes, and pretended to get tied up at the line in bump-and-run coverage.
There was a time when Taylor Mays roamed the USC defensive backfield with the aura of Ronnie Lott. Tight ends [...]

Take it from the pioneer who started this idea of cozy, contractual relationships between the shoe giants and the NCAA schools: adidas has screwed up this time.While it's disappointing that he's not completely ready to play, if he's not completely healthy, there's no reason for him to play. Earl Thomas fits quite nicely into the nickel back position and Nolan Brewster needs the reps. Just get all the way healthy, A-Will.

On Wednesday night, the Las Vegas Locomotives trounced the New York Sentinels, 41-10, to remain in contention for a berth in the UFL Championship Game on Nov. 27.
Blame it on defense. Blame it on Aaron Corp. Hell, blame it on the Bossa Nova.
Wherever you want to point the blame, USC is a two-loss team, something that Southern Los Angeles is not used to. And let me tell you, students are not taking this well. Viewership of tomorrow’s [...]
Michael Dyer, one of the top-ranked tailbacks in America, committed to Auburn on Friday.
Dyer (5-foot-8, 200), from Little Rock Christian in Little Rock, Ark., is considered the No. 1 running back in the country by ESPN, and No. 3 by Scout.com and Rivals.com. He chose the Tigers over Arkansas, Tennessee, [...]
Orson: I say we do this by order of MEDIOCRE THINGS, because it is a mediocre weekend of football in general.
Holly: Huzzah, Homecoming!
Orson: Northwestern@ Iowa. Mediocre thing to match: Push-ups. Insubstantial, cold, and frustrating because after all that pushing and licking, it’s really just z-grade corn syrup, carageenan, and fake [...]

There are multiple reasons for a hitter to work a long count in most of his plate appearances. Walks require at least four pitches, good hitting counts like 3-1 and 3-0 require some patience (and luck), the opposing pitcher, if he is a starter, [...]
