Things are getting even hairier, if that’s possible, in Columbus, Ohio. Jim Tressel has earned quite a lot of leeway and benefit of the doubt there, due mainly to his national title just three seasons ago. The allegations of one disgruntled player, even if corroborated by a few others, probably wouldn’t be enough to bring…

As I was parking my car coming back for lunch, I heard one of those Campbell’s Chunky Soup commercials. You know the ones, with Donovan McNabb’s mom? Well, in this one, she was with “the boys” on a road game trying to keep their spirits high. How did she do this? By starting a sing-a-long…

Well, well, well. It looks like Memphis coach John Calipari is in a bit of hot water. As the Sports Guy would say, WATFO! Calipari’s a snake. He was a snake at UMass (remember the team GPA that was about the same as their points-per-possession and the whole Marcus Camby scandal) and he still is.…

Pretty big time accusations. You can read the overview here and the detailed Clarett interview here. Ohio State’s non-response is here. There is a…

Hey, I found Charles Shackelford! Interestingly enough, he’s now coaching high school football in Louisiana. In fact, he coached Peyton Manning. Here’s what Peyton had to say last night about coach Shack: My high school coach used to tell me you have to be amphibious when you’re sprinting to your left. I said, ‘Don’t you…
