Kevin Donahue of Fanblogs.com is an inveterate Florida State football fan. Kevin, like quite a few Seminoles fans, is fed up with offensive coordinator Jeff Bowden. Apparently, Saint Bobby agrees with the view that Jeff ain’t getting it done … to a point. He hired Marc McHale, the former Marshall OC, but didn’t make him…

Ivan Maisel has an interesting article where he sits down with Ralph Friedgen to review some game film. Maisel is obviously very impressed with the Fridge’s ability to break down film, and it sounds like Coach Friedgen shares the feeling. BTW, the kind of info that this article hints at, technical football coach stuff like…

Ljubomir Stamenich, a three-year starter at defensive end for Virginia died this week of leukemia. Stamenich’s last season with the Cavaliers was 2001. He was just 26 years old. Evidently, his leukemia was discovered less than a month ago. What a terrible story.

I was thinking that maybe I’d write an article about which ACC football coaches were on the proverbial hot seat, but Fanblogs beat me to it and did a mighty fine job. Check it out. I do have a couple of extra comments though. I’m nearly positive that both John Bunting and Chan Gailey are…

Bob is a great writer and is as comfortable discussing…

I didn’t think I’d ever be posting about Chris Duhon signing a big NBA contract. But fair is fair. The kid earned it and I’m giving him his props. Duhon was a very good college player, but never really stepped up to the superstar level that he hinted at as a freshman. He seemed to…

Roy Green of the Charlotte Observer takes a pretty sharp knife to the “Big Four” football programs in this article. It’s rough, but really, there’s nothing in there that you can argue with. The last major bowl for any Big Four team? Duke played in the Cotton Bowl in 1960. 1960 Hat tip to the…

Adrian McPherson took a wildly circuitous route to the NFL. He was Florida’s high school player of the year in both football and basketball before he chose to play QB at Florida State. His career there was brief and very rocky. Poor play, rumors of thrown games (particularly that fishy loss to NC State), payments…

For years I’ve said that Mark Malone of the Pittsburgh Steelers was the worst starting quarterback in NFL history. Great reporter, terrible QB. Well, now I have concrete. ESPN put together the ten worst statistical seasons ever by NFL quarterbacks. OK, maybe Malone didn’t hit #1, but he did make the top ten. Considering how…
