Ten Freakin' Days to Kansas State ----08/26/09

UPDATE: Matty Vautour reports no starting QB named yet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Former UMass great Marcel Shipp has signed with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the UFL

The Locomotives Wikipedia page is here. The Locomotives will be coached by former Giants HC Jim Fassel and will have a bunch of former NFL stars on the roster.

Brett Kahn of The Sports Network previews the Northeast Conference. He picks 2009 UMass foe Albany to win their third straight league title.

Current NY Giants coach Tom Coughlin speaks to the Albany players at their training camp. Good speech.

We've already met Fordham QB John Skelton in the 2007 playoffs. Now the NFL is taking a look. Note that I found this link over on the always interesting Draft Daddy site.

The FCS 2009 College Football Handbook is a work in progress and is up to a 35 page download here (pdf).

Kansas State does not have a starting QB yet either. The front runner is Carson Coffman.

I believe UMass is supposed to name a starting QB after tomorrow's scrimmage.
