The trick, as I said when he signed with the Ravens, is to stay the hell away from Decatur.

Sometimes, you can't go home again. In his case, that seems to be very true.

Maybe they'll learn to play Old Man Football soon?

"Coaches in the Big 12 aren't thrilled to scout against Wiggins, but they understand how much better it is to have him in the league."

But it's only for one year, folks.

Maybe he does now.

Maybe he doesn't.

You know he wants to come back.

It's what Melo does best!

True - sometimes, one realizes that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. (e.g. Nick Saban).

Got to love the juxaposition of stories here. The one preceding this is about how Michael Vick will have his best season.

Landon currently isn't ManU-worthy. Maybe in his prime, but not now.

Exactly. This whole "new stadium/improvements" crap was started by Goodell right after the last SB in Miami.

He's further reinforced it by putting a SB in a stadium that isn't made for cold weather (the New Meadowlands) primarily as a marketing tool to the other NFL cities -- "build us a fancy new stadium (on your dime) and we'll come to your town too."

(And is anyone surprised? The Commissioner works at the behest and the whim of the owners, not for the game as a whole.)

I wouldn't put too much in the spring game results. Based upon watching the Bama spring games a few years back, you'd think the best QBs were Star Jackson and Phillip Simms. Both of those QBs later transferred out after real-game performance showed otherwise.

Not a surprise. Auburn had their best year ever with a transfer QB. Maybe that's Gus's formula.

The problem with a pro team in Knoxville is that it's been shown that they won't show up for a losing football squad there. That was the real reason that Fulmer was canned.

Let's hope he doesn't get an Auburn tattoo.

Maybe he can ask his brother for a loan -- or for a favorable deal to move the team to Memphis.

Hey, someone has to fill all of those bowl slots; and someone has to make the BIG 12 and B1G look good.

That was a requirement for the bowl to be part of the new College Football Championship Game rotation - the corporate names had to be subordinate to the bowl game name.

This is a sideways recycle of the article they had in the NFL section yesterday.

The stadium is 25 years old. I would hardly describe it as "aging." The seating issue (too far away from the action) was because they designed the stadium for baseball use as well as football use, which is how they got the Marlins there in the first place. The canopy issue came about because Goodell said after the last Super Bowl there that the NFL might not come back to Miami unless they were put into place because (gasp!) the fans* got rained on during the Super Bowl.

(* By "fans" he meant the corporate fat cats and sponsors who have most of the seats there. Whenever they get inconvenienced - traffic issues at the Pontiac Silverdome, too far away for the corporate jets at U of Phoenix Stadium - it becomes a major issue.)

Sorry, but the stadium is primarily a privately-owned venture. Let the owner fix the dang thing.

And if The U wants to build their own stadium, they only need to build one that holds 20,000 for most of their games, since that's all that's usually needed; they can rent SunLife for the bigger games (Florida and FSU).

Just a reminder - under current NCAA rules (subject to change), football conferences that are split into divisions require everyone in the division to play every other team in that division. If they get to a 20 team two-division split, all nine conference games would be only in their division, and the only way there'd be a crossover game would be in the conference championship.

Sounds like the Albert Means things, but sideways.
