The Quad Countdown: No. 25 North Carolina - (USA)
Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesRunning back Shaun Draughn and his North Carolina teammates believe that a successful season is within reach. Location: Chapel Hill, N.C.Nickname: Tar Heels.2008 Countdown ranking: No. 69. What I said in LAST YEAR’S preview: I predict a two- or three-game improvement over 2007, with the Tar Heels in contention for one of the A.C.C.’s lower-tier bowl bids. A bowl bid in Davis’s second year would be a sign to the Tar Heel faithful that they are in good hands, and would

Shallow Thoughts & Nearsighted Observations - (USA)
Happy Tuesday, friends, and welcome to another edition of ST&NO. As I started writing this, it was the Saturday of HOF weekend, and I live an hour north of Canton. I went down last year to see Gary Zimmerman get inducted, with MattR and his friend, but, alas, I didn't attend this year. It rained most of the day, anyway, and Adam Schefter tweeted about it every 3.4 seconds, so it was almost like being there. I can generally take or leave Schefter, (I never read anything from the DP when

Tennessee Football Heading Down Wrong Rebuilding Lane - (USA)
Tennessee Football Heading Down Wrong Rebuilding Lane Nov.29, 2008 in NCAA Football 4 Comments There is nothing for Tennessee fans to be thankful for if the rumor regarding former Raiders’ head coach Lane Kiffin being offered the head coaching job at the university is true. Of course, Mike Hamilton will not announce this decision officially while the administration tries to send current coach, Phillip Fulmer, out the door as gracefully as possible this Saturday against Kentucky. However, I b

Boss Hog Bowl or Boss Hawg Bowl (Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington) - (USA)
Cowboys Stadium (home of football’s Dallas Cowboys) opened in Arlington, Texas, in 2009. Sports journalist and radio personality Randy Galloway called the proposed stadium “Boss Hawg Bowl” (or “Boss Hog Bowl") by at least 2001. The reference is to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, an Arkansas native who played football at the University of Arkansas. Arkansas (the state and the university) is symbolized by the “razorback,” or “hog.” Other nicknames for the new Cowboys Stadium have been “Je

Rocky Long to UNLV and other coaching updates - (USA)
UNLV is not going bowling this year, but according to Ed Graney from the Las-Vegas Review Journal he feels that former New Mexico head coach Rocky Long should be contacted to coach the defense for UNLV. Long resigned as New Mexico’s coach after 11 seasons, saying he still wants to roam the sidelines as an assistant or coordinator. This could be interesting because when Long was very successful at UCLA and Oregon State as the defensive coordinator which lead him to the New Mexico job and was thei

Meet an American Indian: Jenna Plumley - (USA)
Sports in the modern age have been an avenue to hero status for America’s racial minorities. The non-white athlete who can outperform white folks at their own games... that evokes a special kind of pride. Jack Johnson, Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson are damn-near mythic. Roberto Clemente, among Puerto Ricans, is a saint. Chicano musicians wrote songs about Fernando Valenzuela. It applies to Jews as well; check out the Hank Greenberg documentary. And when American Indian activist Dennis Banks

Three ideas form the basis of sports betting thinking: Originality, Variation, and Consequence - (USA)
Today’s sports betting reports have been years in the making. In June of 1984, Baze Heide, of the Kroes Machuga LLC group started the first survey and general data collection studies. Immediately following these efforts, further research and analysis was promulgated by Prof. Helt Lamontagne, a retired teacher from Limehouse Bueter University. “The origins of Sports betting bewilder most people,” said Ladnier Neisler, collector and analyst, “but not me…And, with the work of Warzecha Tauarez to g

Vernon Davis Continues To Piss Off The World - (USA)
The 2006 NFL Draft, like every professional sports draft, had its share of flops. Names like Vince Young (No. 3), Michael Huff (No. 7), Matt Leinart (No. 10), Tye Hill (No. 15) and Bobby Carpenter (No. 18) come to mind. But none perhaps is a bigger bust than San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis, who was taken sixth overall. Viewed as a physical marvel and can’t miss prospect, Davis oozes athleticism. At the 2006 Scouting Combine, he ran a 4.38 40-yard dash, a time faster than most wide r
