Corn Flakes: Spring Break!

Hey all not a whole heck of a lot going on these days that the other guys aren't covering with articles (hey you know the woman's team is in the NCAA?). But I put enough links together for a quick CF post. I had to do it all by myself too, because the cats went on spring break

Darn cats making me do all the work

Rivals.com College Football - Mailbag: Could Huskers be better without Suh?

Since many coaches are insufferable sand-baggers, I love that Pelini will go out on a limb and make bold statements like that. At the Big 12 championship game in December, he said Nebraska could be "five times better" next season. That's going waaaaay out on a limb, considering the Huskers posted 10 victories in '09.

He has his doubts, but does anyone want to argue with Bo?

Weak & Strong: Nebraska - Big 12 Blog - ESPN

He says weak at Safety??? but strong at RB. I am not worried about the defense at all, while I think everyone is worried about the offense.

Life in the Red's Blog | Three nuggets from Ganz

Ganz keeps close tabs on Cody Green -- even at the training table. If Ganz sees Green sitting with a female student-athlete at a meal, Green has to do 100 "pencil rolls." Pencils rolls are awful. A player lays on the ground, arms stretched over his head, and rolls down the field. Vomiting usually is part of the fun (sorry if you're eating breakfast). At any rate, Ganz's training-table edict for Green is generally good-natured fun, but also is meant to encourage Green to continually strengthen his bond with teammates. Just my opinion: Coaches are preparing Green to be a prominent leader in the program. Of course, he has to take care of business on the field.

That female student had better be great company to be worth "pencil rolls"

Where is Bryce Brown? 'As of now,' not on Tennessee's roster - Dr. Saturday - NCAAF Blog - Yahoo! Sports

former No. 1 running back recruit Bryce Brown might be planning to follow his brother Arthur to Kansas State rather than return to Knoxville to play for new coach Derek Dooley.

So anyone worried about the super flaky bros. at K-State? And what is "former #1 RB" worth? Ohhhhhh you were ranked #1 by recruiting experts, do you get a trophy for that, does it go on your resume?

Rivals.com College Football - Kansas State continues rebuilding effort

Speaking of those purple devils rivals breaks them down. I think K-State is now a basketball school, not a football school.

Best Mascot- Lil Red and it's not close. It's the pioneer of the inflated mascot, the silly-looking balloon in coveralls we're told is a member of the Mascot hall of fame. (Print version of 3/12 paper)

HA! chalk one up for the Lil Red Lovers!

Bryce Brown

was a disaster waiting to happen anyway.

I hope he goes to Kansas State. I need a reason to hate them. :)

If Lil' Red is the "Best Mascot"

The rest of the mascots should just be retired right now, because they must REALLY be bad.

I agree

I love lil red, especially when he turns upside down and bounces around on his lil red head.

It’s not like we have a mascot with a cat head on top of a human body… whoops, there’s the k-state hate.

I didn't say others were better

Just that if Lil’ Red is the Best, the others must really be bad. Case in point, the reject from the Pet Cemetary in Manhattan.

You mean this reject?

That never happened to me

But I can TOTALLY identify with that animated documentary about the dangers of balloons!

by Wolvie on Mar 19, 2010 3:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

Big... yes. Cute... uh no...

I’ve watched him scare little kids, and his “jump upside down” trick is his one trick.

At best, ‘Lil Red is dorky and at worst, he’s not even half as talented as Willie and his PowerTowel.

You're just jealous...

… you can’t collapse your head inside your body :)
