College Football Now

With only one day away from the start of the season, the college football world is buzzing. Texas A&M officially declared that they will be leaving the Big 12 by June 2012. They are likely to go to the SEC. They will be starting at the bottom of the pack if they head to the SEC. They will barely get into a bowl in a conference that good. In other news, Miami had 8 players suspended from games. There is likely more to come. They have some tests to start with. If they could get out of their first six games with a 4-2 record it would be somewhat of a success. Check back later because I will be blogging all week to prepare for college football season.

East Meets West

Tomorrow Huntington Beach, CA. will represent the United States in the Little League World Series against the well rounded team from Japan. California represented the West in the US Bracket. They went 4-1 in their games against American opponents. Their only loss was to Billings, Montana. They redeemed themselves earlier with an 11-2 win over the team from Billings. Japan also went 4-1. They defeated Mexico in the International Bracket Championship. Braydon Salzman is the probable starter for Huntington Beach. Japan will be ready to go. It is very rare for Japan to commit errors. They are great with fundamentals. California will come out on top in the end, though. All eyes will be on the little kids from Huntington Beach and Japan when they take the field at 3:00 ET.

The Death of Miami Football

The NCAA has been investigating Miami's football program. A booster by the name of Nevin Shapiro said that he gave 72 Miami players ineligible benefits. Those players include starting QB, Jacory Harris. There were talks of Miami receiving the dreaded 'Death Penalty.' If Miami were to be slammed with the 'Death Penalty,' it would be the first time since 1985-88 that a team has received this penalty. SMU got nailed with it for recruiting violations. There will be a lot more discussion on this topic.

Heading East

There were rumors that Texas A&M were heading to the SEC. There is still a chance that they stay in the Big 10. If they are to head east it would not make much sense. They would have to start at the bottom of the pack in most sports. Their football team will have a much harder time winning games. Missouri, Florida State, and Clemson are actually thinking of making the switch. Missouri's Athletic Director, Michael Alden, said that the Tigers will stay right where they are. There is still a possibility that they will join the SEC. This move could change college sports dramatically. It looks like the Big 10 is falling apart.

Free Agency Latest

There has been a lot of chaos in the NFL free agency. Donovan McNabb started things off by going to the Vikings. Nnamdi Asomghua decided to head east and play for the Eagles. This will make the Eagles into a definite contender. Plaxico Burress is back in the New York groove. Except not with Big Blue. He signed with the Jets just yesterday. Earlier today Randy Moss shocked everybody by retiring. After 12 seasons, he decided to throw in the towel, which is weird because his agent said he was in "freakish shape." There is still more to come in this crazy free agency.
