| Football in college, just how you remembered it | | Posted Tuesday, January 24, 2006 2:04:19 PM by Kate Grant | Shoulder pads and helmets, your college team colors, the green field soon to become brown and muddy, players standing in line, the scoreboard... Football is one of the most popular sports in the United States, If not the popular of them all. Pro football (NFL) comes first in poles and you'll find college football very close, at number three. 
No wonder the Super Bowl (The national championship game) is the television event of the year. College football fans bet on the odds, follow the predictions and college football news on the ESPN College Football site. Football is probably the game with most rules possible.
It's hard to understand, but if you follow a few games, you're most likely get that hang of it. College Football Recruiters follow the players closely throughout the season, to find the new rookies to join professional teams right after college and sometimes even during college, which means they have to quit studying.
Don't worry about them, though. The sums of money they'll soon be making are huge, and sometimes they even make college football history.
College football is the source of interest for many. That's why there are many dedicate college football websites. One of the bests is: College football news com

| | | Randy Moss Award to go to top college returner | | Posted Tuesday, November 14, 2006 2:51:47 AM by Blog57 Team | | The top returner in Division I-A college football as chosen by sports information directors will receive the Randy Moss Return Man Award. Moss was the leading kick returner in Division I-AA in 1996 when he averaged 34.6 yards per return for Marshall. He has returned two kicks and 18 punts in his nine-year NFL career with Minnesota and Oakland, scoring on a 64-yard punt return for the Vikings in 1999. "Back in college, I took pride in that," Moss said. "That's something I've always had the passion and love for is being able to catch a kickoff, catch a punt and be able to run it back, because that can make a difference in the game. It can bust a game wide open." The award was created by Gulf Coast Events and GameDay Consultants, operators of the 2007 North South All-Star Classic.... | |

| | | Tim Layden: NFL, college football have fundamental differences | | Posted Sunday, November 12, 2006 6:55:05 AM by Blog57 Team | | Sports Illustrated assigned me to Team SI NFL this fall, writing on America's Real Pastime. I've done some NFL coverage in the past, but much more college football. The differences between Sunday football and Saturday (or Thursday) football have been dogging me since August. My top eight: 1) The Traditions -- Every college football game is a holiday. Every NFL game is a board meeting. OK, that's an exaggeration. But in the college world, you don't just get the football game, you get a piece of college football history. Tiger Walk (Auburn), Script Ohio (Ohio State) and green jerseys (Notre Dame). Or you get history in the making, attached to a fresh theme (Rutgers Chopping Wood). It's hard to find a major college program that doesn't have some sort of personal touch. You come to Michigan, settle into the your seat and hear the band strike up "The Victors'' and watch the Wolverines jump up and touch the banner that's stretched across the field, well, you just know you're in the Big House.... | |

| | | Football's whipping boys arise | | Posted Wednesday, November 08, 2006 10:52:30 AM by Blog57 Team | | We are now two-thirds of the way or so through another college football season, and it's about time we officially fit Wake Forest and Rutgers for glass slippers and bowl-game warmups as opposed to the customary body bags. They've crashed the Top 20 and struck a 1-2 blow for the Little Guys. A round of applause is in order. Our two doormats of yore have also turned the world of Beano Cook and Lee Corso topsy-turvy (as if Vandy winning at Georgia, Mississippi State winning at Alabama and Northwestern winning at Iowa wasn't disarray enough). Maybe never before has there been a week in which Deacons and Scarlet Knights were playing two of the biggest games in the country. But this is the week. Rutgers, in fact, stars in the headliner - tomorrow night's matchup against Louisville, a collision of Big East unbeatens that surely rates as the glossiest football attraction in the history of Piscataway, N.J.... | |

| | | College football: Paterno back to work - with broken leg | | Posted Monday, November 06, 2006 2:53:50 PM by Blog57 Team | | STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Joe Paterno isn't going to let a broken leg keep him from coaching the Penn State football team. The 79-year-old coach broke his left leg and suffered knee ligament damage Saturday when two players ran into him during the Nittany Lions' 13-3 loss to the University of Wisconsin at Camp Randall Stadium. Team officials said Sunday that surgery was being considered. Paterno's son, Jay - Penn State's quarterbacks coach - said he spoke with his father Sunday and there was "no thought whatsoever of not coming back this year. ... It's not even in the discussion. There's nothing more to read into this in terms of his career." Paterno fractured the top of his tibia, or shin bone, according to team doctor Wayne Sebastianelli. The injury typically heals on its own with rehabilitation, though doctors and team officials were considering whether surgery would help the leg heal faster, said Guido D'Elia, director of communications for football.... | |
