This story about Michigan safety Jonas Mouton has an image of him tackling Anthony Nelson.

This article says Villanova may not have any where near the necessary  votes to join the Big East. The story also discusses possible future Big East configurations if some of the basketball schools are ejected. As mentioned from other sources, Rutgers is interested in the Big Ten.

The Scarlet Knights are interested in the Big Ten because the Big East does not have big revenues.

The often mentioned financial bath UConn took at their BCS bowl was because Oklahoma was reimbursed by the Big Twelve for their unsold tickets. The Big East did not do the same for UConn.

The USL Destroyers have picked former Georgia Southern foe Adrian Peterson in the third round of the USL draft.

Peterson still holds UMass opponent records with his 333 yards rushing and 5 TD's in the 1999 playoff game at Georgia Southern.

Marcel Shipp is still on the roster of the Las Vegas Locomotives.
