With Veteran’s Day coming up, revisiting the amazing story of Clemson University’s walk-on Daniel Rodriguez, a war hero, is appropriate. Rodriguez created a video a few years back showing an amazing work ethic of a veteran wanting to play college football. He wanted to fulfill a promise he made to a fallen soldier. Rodriguez survived […]
The QB for the Texas Longhorns, David Ash, has officially decided to hang up his helmet and move forward with his life. He sustained his first concussion in September 2013. After the August 30th win against N. Texas, he had headaches for 7 or 8 days. After consulting with Coach Charlie Strong and the team doctors, […]
Jameis Winston’s Insurance Policy I read this article and was shocked that this was allowed. It seems awfully close to paying football players to play in college. On one hand I get it. On the other hand I think it is ridiculous, especially since he is not eligible for the NFL this year. What do […]
http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/aaron-murray-injures-knee-in-georgia-victory/nb3d2/ I may be a Tech fan but I never wish this on anyone. I hope Aaron Murray heals well and goes on to a strong and promising career after college in whatever he decides.
The other night, I had an opportunity to go to an event sponsored by the Georgia Tech Women’s Alumnae Networking group. It was held at GT looking over Grant Field. The purpose of the event was to teach women in the group some of the basics about football, so naturally, I was interested in what […]
You have to admit, this is the biggest game of young Jameis Winston’s blossoming career. Not only is he leading a top 5 team, he is playing another top 5 team on the road in probably one of the top 5 most difficult places to play. So quite simply, can this kid pass this test? […]
Braxton is just a cool name. It really is. Combine a cool name with an outstanding athlete and you get Braxton Miller, quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He’s a 6 ft 2 in. junior weighing in at 215 pounds. He missed three games earlier this season due to a knee injury and he was questionable […]
Many people are probably surprised I would choose an Auburn Tiger to write a player profile on. Well, Shon Coleman is special. He deserves the spotlight this week, even from a Tide fan! Shon was a heavily recruited football player out of Olive Branch High School weighing 285 lbs and standing 6’6″ tall. He signed […]
The Facts: Roderick (Rod) McDowell is a red-shirt senior running back for Clemson University. He is a first year starter this season after having a strong role as a back-up in 2012. In his debut game last week against Georgia, he ran the ball 22 times for 132 yards and caught one pass for 10 […]
If I had written this player profile last season, it would have read very differently than today. In fact, if I had written it earlier this week, it would have been very different. I am not going to say Johnny Manziel is not a great football player. He is incredible and a phenomenal athlete. I will […]
