UT is fixin' to kill Ohio State, boys.

Troy Smith = overrated
Teddy Ginn - kiss the Heisman goodbye (although since Brady Quinn looks so zesty who else can challenge Ginn?)

Limas Sweed = 2 TDs tonight.

Adrian Peterson?

Like I care.

You heard it here first:

Notre Dame will lose exactly one game before the bowls.  They will be #2 in the polls and go to the national championship game despite at least one division I-A school going undefeated but being lower in the rankings.

[MDS]

All hail Notre Dame's supposed mass appeal.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Is Bevo playing tonight? Christ almighty.

Colt McCoy isn't looking too good. But then again - compared to what Vince did last year it's hard to beat that.

Is anyone going to cover that Gonzalez dude? Jesus.

Charles and Young looked good.

Pittman's fumble was farging stupid. Nice hands, shteinbag.

OMG an Eddie George sighting! SIGN HIM NOW!!

Limas Sweed has been shut down.

You're red-flagged for the weekend.

The NCAA finally got something right.

NCAA grants McElrathbey waiver to care for sibling

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Clemson staff will be able to provide assistance to a freshman football player who is taking care of his little brother, the school said Monday.

Ray Ray McElrathbey, 19, has temporary custody of his 11-year-old brother, Fahmarr, because of his mother's continuing drug problems and his father's gambling addiction. The two brothers have moved from foster homes to sharing an apartment by the campus.

"I want to thank the Clemson family for all their support in this situation. That includes my teammates and the Clemson student body," McElrathbey said after practice Monday. "I can't tell you how many students came up to me and said they were willing to help."

The school had asked the NCAA for a waiver of its rule prohibiting athletes from obtaining gifts, cash or other benefits not available to the general student population.

"Once the NCAA became aware of the circumstances, we immediately began working with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Clemson University to address this unique situation," said Kevin Lennon, NCAA vice president of membership services. "NCAA extra benefit rules are designed to ensure student athletes do not receive financial or other benefits that are not readily available to all students.

"If there is a special circumstance, like this case, the institution and conference may seek a waiver."

McElrathbey will be allowed to receive assistance, such as local transportation and child care for Fahmarr.

"That will be great for my brother and relieve me of some worries about providing for him," McElrathbey said.

The most important thing for McElrathbey has been finding people who can pick his brother up from school and getting "some help from grown-ups looking after Fahmarr," Clemson athletic department spokesman Tim Bourret said.

For this past weekend's game at Boston College, some of McElrathbey's friends at school stayed with Fahmarr back in South Carolina. Now, that task more likely will be taken over by the wives of assistant coaches, Bourret said.

"I might be more excited about the ability of the Clemson athletic department staff being able to give Fahmarr a ride to and from school, and to be able to take care of him when I am on the road with the team. That will solve a lot of problems. That was a constant worry," McElrathbey said.

The two brothers had been living solely off McElrathbey's scholarship, but Clemson plans to establish a trust fund to coordinate financial contributions to help pay for normal living expenses, Clemson athletics director Terry Don Phillips said in a news release.

Bourret said details of how the trust will be set up and how it will collect money have not been finalized, but he said the university is prohibited from coordinating a fundraiser with a football game.

McElrathbey has said he sought custody because he was tired of worrying what might happen to Fahmarr living with their mother in Atlanta. "I wasn't going to let him go back to a foster home, back to the system," McElrathbey said.

Feel-good story of the year!

Northern Colorado backup punter arrested

GREELEY, Colo. -- The University of Northern Colorado's reserve punter was arrested Tuesday, accused of stabbing his rival in his kicking leg.

Mitch Cozad, a sophomore from Wheatland, Wyo., allegedly attacked starting punter Rafael Mendoza in a parking lot in Evans on Monday night, Evans police Lt. Gary Kessler said.

Mendoza, the Bears' first-string punter from Thornton, was treated and released from the North Colorado Medical Center Monday night. Coach Scott Downing said Mendoza will not punt for UNC in Saturday's game at Texas State University.

"I don't know how long he'll be out because I haven't talked to the doctor," Downing said.

Cozad, Mendoza and freshman Zak Bigelow had been in a three-way race for the starting punter's job in preseason training. Mendoza has averaged 37.6 yards per punt on nine punts in the two games so far this season.

Cozad is facing second-degree assault charges and was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday for a bond hearing. He was suspended from the team, evicted from his residence and expelled from school on Tuesday, The Greeley Tribune reported.
