Saturday--May 4, 2013

Yet another Michael Cox draft profile. Running backs have the shortest of all NFL careers. Cox's limited number of carries at this stage of his career could be to his advantage. His body is still fresh and I think he could earn a spot with the Giants.

Are sports video games like EA Sports illegally using digital images of college football players?

A Bleacher Report writer has "four reasons that Michigan's Big House is the best college stadium."

My all-time favorite away visit was Navy. That game was Don Brown's best UMass team. The UMMB was there (I modestly accepted accolades about the band from Navy fans) and the game featured the best ever fly-over. Two Navy S-3's went over about 200 feet up. When they passed, the UMass team seemed to levitate off the ground. I got to wear my "US Navy Vet" hat and my UMass Football t-shirt at the same time. Hopefully Army and Navy will appear again on UMass' schedule!



Football Scoop has a Navy season trailer.
