PrintDoug Martin proves again that we all are just mere mortals in his presence (HT: Mkingery)
This video has already been posted in the Fan Shots but it is so wonderful that I thought it needed to be front and center this morning. Amazing, just amazing.
Matt Miller and Brock Osweiler clash again tomorrow night
Miller and Osweiler are both from Montana and grew up as high school rivals turned friends. I assume Osweiler is second to Miller in terms of state popularity and that the majority of Montana will be supporting the Broncos.
Boise State seniors take part in last full practice
I think I'm getting more emotional than Efaw was. This class has been arguably the greatest in Boise State history not only in quality of players but also how much and how early they played, yet I can't seem to shake the feeling that it all went by too quickly.
Ohio State slapped with one year bowl ban and additional scholarship reductions
Ohio State and AD Gene Smith were somehow shocked that there were additional penalties to their self imposed ones. Urban Meyer has to be thrilled they are playing in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl this year and no bowl next year. That decision alone should lead to Gene Smith being fired. Overall, things could have been much worse as USC fans know, but apparently a key witness refused to cooperate.
Norm Chow to be next Hawaii coach
Seems like a decent hire for Hawaii but a curious choice for Chow. He's gone from USC offensive coordinator to Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator to UCLA offensive coordinator to Utah offensive coordinator. However, Chow was born in Hawaii and when you're 65 and still working, there probably aren't many other places he'd rather be.
Eric LeGrand makes Sports Illustrated's "Moment of the Year"
With all the crap going on with college athletics, this is a redeeming story that is only getting better.

Ajayi Pleads Guilty
Just thought this should be in the headlines, it is sad but now we know why Jay did not “deserve” to go to Vegas. http://www.idahostatesman.com/2011/12/21/1924620/notebook.html#storylink=omni_popular
Better to have play a mid-level schedule and potentially be the best team in the nation, than to play and lose on a hard schedule and remove all doubt.

Why?
As a player, you get free sweats, shorts, hoodies, etc like every year?
I need a new sig, ya dig.
Everybody steals sweatpants
I don't believe in dibs, or love at first sight, or love, or best friends, or doing things.

Hopefully he'll get his act together after this.

When does the auction end?
I’m not going to lie, I’m trying to wait until the last moment to place a bid on a particular item that has “best of both worlds” written all over it, and I’m not much of a bidding war fella.

I'm confirming
But I believe the Richie Brockel/Kyle Wilson poster ends today at 12:00pm MST/ 2:00pm EST

From one Big East member to a future one
Beat the hell out of Arizona State. Show Graham exactly what he’s getting himself into

Rec'd, Graham deserves to fail at ASU
He did your players WRONG, no excuse.

I know Jay feels.... ?? But
Coach Pete will or has splained somethings to him. What do think this is, the BCS? How can I put you on the football field when you get a “F” in decision making? Going to jail is a safe and easy place for you. Apologizing to the team and OBNUG is going to be much more difficult and dangerous. I believe in a second chance but now you have to earn it. You have to work twice as hard but the team and OBNUG will be there for you when you make it.
The only thing the BCS has to fear is fear itself and Blue is the color of fear.
