Kevin Roberts’ 2009 NFL Mock Draft (3 Rounds – 4/24/09) – Round 3
Go Back to Round 2 Round 3 65. Detroit Lions – Fili Moala, DT, USC Just one of the many USC prospects, Moala has been overlooked all the way into the third round. He is a massive man with good strength, and should give the Lions an inside presence they haven’t had since Shaun Rogers. [...]
NFL Scouting Combine Storylines: Defense and Special Teams
There’s no Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis, or Vernon Gholston to get wild about in the 2009 NFL Draft, at least at this point. All of those guys were in contention to be the #1 pick in the 2008 draft, and all four were off the board in the first seven picks. What this [...]
Tuberville out at Auburn, Leach or Calhoun next?
In a move that almost all of the college football world saw coming for the majority of the season, Tommy Tuberville stepped down at Auburn today. The last time Tuberville was on edging towards the furnace, the Tigers went 13-0 the following season. Unfortunately, there was no escape this season, and there are only so [...]
College Football Roundup: It’s not funny anymore, ACC
This weekend’s college football schedule was pretty light, but there was no shortage of action. There weren’t any earth-shattering upsets, which is why the top half of the new polls are mostly intact heading into next weekend, which will see several big games (Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Penn State-Michigan State, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Central Michigan-Ball State). I’ll leave the [...]
November will make or break Heisman hopes of McCoy and others
I feel pretty safe in saying that the next few weeks of the college football season will go a long way towards deciding the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy. With all due respect to the likes of Michigan State’s Javon Ringer or Missouri’s Chase Daniel, who was on many a preseason favorite list, the [...]
Does anyone want to win the ACC?
Before August 30, everything looked to be cut and dry in the ACC. Clemson was the undisputed best team, and the Tigers were not only touted to be the class of the ACC, but also as a potential darkhorse national title contender, with Cullen Harper, James Davis, and C.J. Spiller leading the way. Then the [...]
Another top-10 team bites the dust on Thursday night
If you’re a ranked team, and you’ve got a potentially dangerous Thursday night game left on your schedule this season, you should probably start doing all you can to petition to have your game moved. It’s been a season full of upsets so far, but little ol’ Thursday night has kicked off the upset specials [...]
Separated At Birth; Bowden Fired, Tuberville Not Far Behind
You know how that old urban legend goes?Out of the blue, a woman feels a sharp pain in her left forearm. Three thousand miles away, a brother she never knew she had slices his arm in a wood-cutting accident. They simultaneously sense a connection and ultimately share a tearful reunion after discovering there’s a sibling [...]
Saturday Shuffle: Upsets, upsets, and more upsets!
The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn’t it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every college football season, there seems to [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 2: Florida-Miami the headliner for a light week
The best way to describe the second week of the college football season is that it’s one of those ‘in-between’ weeks. Last weekend wasn’t the most exciting week of college football that you’ll ever see, but it was the opening weekend of the season, which makes it a special occasion. And then next week, USC-Ohio [...]
