[/Copies headline from July June May April...] Mack Brown said during Big 12 media days that he expected one quarterback, David Ash or Case McCoy, to emerge as the frontrunner during fall practices. That’s still a possibility — Brown has said next to nothing about the competition since then — but it’s looking more and [...]
In 2011, Daniel Cobb started more than half of Texas Tech’s games on the defensive side of the ball. In 2012, the linebacker won’t be afforded the opportunity to match or exceed that total. Red Raiders sports information official Blayne Beal tweeted Sunday evening that Cobb has been dismissed from the team for, of course, violating [...]
Missing since early Wednesday afternoon, an erstwhile Kansas State player has been found, the Kansas City Star is reporting. According to the paper, defensive tackle Sam Harvill was found on the grounds of the Fort Riley Military Installation in Kansas shortly very early Sunday morning. The search for Harvill had stretched into its fourth day, although the lineman…
DeSean Hales came to Texas as a highly-touted four-star recruit, rated as the No. 1 all-purpose back in the country. While his first four years with the Longhorns had been underwhelming to say the least, it appeared that the light may have flipped on for the receiver this offseason. Unfortunately, neither the player nor the [...]
Exactly one week after it was announced he was leaving Florida, Ja’Juan Story has already found a new football home. According to the Tampa Bay Times, one of the wide receiver’s former high school coaches confirmed that Story has decided to continue his playing career at TCU. The Horned Frogs were one of two finalists for [...]
For the fifth time the past three months, a member of the Oklahoma football program has been indefinitely suspended by head coach Bob Stoops. The latest to feel Stoops’ punitive wrath is defensive tackle Stacy McGee, who the coach announced Friday for undisclosed violation of university policies. McGee has started 17 games the past three…
While CFT didn’t necessarily agree, the coaches tapped LSU as their preseason No. 1 in the initial USA Today poll released earlier this month. As it turns out, we weren’t the only ones who respectfully disagree with the coaches either. In its initial poll, the Associated Press voters tapped USC, heading into its first season…
Over the weekend, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy allowed defensive lineman Chrisitan Littlehead to participate to practice even though Littlehead was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery last week stemming from a beer pong incident in March. “I’ve always followed the policy that guys are relatively innocent until proven guilty,” Gundy said Saturday. “And that’s the only way [...]
Colorado received a pair of former Big 12 quarterbacks this past year. On Wednesday, coach Jon Embree named one of them his starter for the 2012 season. That distinction will go to Kansas transfer Jordan Webb, who beat out Texas transfer Connor Wood and sophomore Nick Hirschman. “I’m not into playing games, sitting around waiting. I…
There’s something about offensive line attrition this preseason. Texas Tech already announced this week that lineman Matt Wilson would be lost for the season because of an ACL injury he sustained in the spring. Now, the Red Raiders will lose two-year starter Brian Thomas. According to coach Tommy Tuberville, Thomas was sliding down the depth chart for a [...]
Earlier this month, the so-called Champions Bowl sent out RFPs (Requests for Proposal) to a total of 10 cities across Southeast and Southwest to host the game, which will begin after the 2014 regular season.

Last week, Oklahoma State defensive lineman Christian Littlehead was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery stemming from a beer pong incident in March. Though the very details of what allegedly happened ooze classy, it is Littlehead’s third run-in with the law in the past year. Based on that, one would think his days with the Cowboys are [...]
After Matt Wilson partially tore the ACL in his right knee during Texas Tech’s spring practice, surgically repairing the injury was considered but ruled out as it would have cost the offensive lineman the entire 2012 season. Unfortunately, that’s turned out to be the case anyway. Red Raiders head coach Tommy Tuberville confirmed Saturday that [...]
Penn State transfer Anthony Fera was expected to significantly upgrade Texas’ kicking game. While that’s still very possible, any impact Fera might have has been put on hold. Whispers that Fera was injured came out early Friday morning by way of Dan Watkins of NBC 5 in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Other UT publications began picking up [...]
Once again, Oklahoma State defensive tackle Christian Littlehead is facing legal trouble. The Tulsa World reports Littlehead is being charged with misdemeanor assault and battery, and has a warrant out for his arrest.

In about three weeks, we’ll stop talking about Penn State so much (Excited? We are.) and start talking actual college football. You know, people hitting each other with pads on and such for money a valuable education our enjoyment. I’ve almost forgotten what the game looks like and how it’s played. Which is a perfect [...]
My utter disdain and contempt for any preseason poll notwithstanding, last year I played the role of sight-impaired squirrel to Alabama’s proverbial nut. Despite being named CFT’s preseason No. 1 around this time last year, the Tide somehow managed to navigate its way through the Curse of Nostradumbass — see Florida, 2010; OU, 2009 — and [...]
