We read a little earlier that Florida Gator defensive end Carlos Dunlap will be entering the NFL draft.  But is he ready?  Our inside source talked to one scout, who told him, “If Carlos thinks he can just sleep his way onto an NFL roster, then he has another thing coming.”

Another scout told our source, “When that light turns green at the combine, Dunlap better be ready to show what he’s got.”

Oddly enough, the only person we have come across to really support Dunlap’s decision to try out the NFL is St. Louis Cardinals’ manager Tony LaRussa.

According to ESPN’s Chris Low, Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead - coming off a 0 touchdown, 3 interception performance in the Cotton Bowl - is leaning toward entering the NFL draft.  At first we were unsure of this decision, but then he told our inside source his reasoning.

“After watching Jay Cutler lead the Bears all season,” Snead said, “I know I am ready to play quarterback in the NFL.”

In a report that would make Magnum P.I. tear up with pride, the AP announced its findings in a report regarding college admissions being relaxed for college athletes.  Check here to read the story.

In addition, the AP also found out that the continent just south of North America is indeed called South America, that the Earth is the third planet from the sun, and that Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States.

Thanks to the AP for getting all this hard to discover info out on the table!!!

We know Ohio State basketball coach Thad Matta has to be under a ton of stress today.  His team is coming off a loss to Butler, and their star Evan Turner is out with a back injury.  However, those two issues are insignificant compared to what’s really on his mind - the mental health of his players in tonight’s game.  Can he keep control of the crowd?  Will an opposing fan maybe even rush the court in an attempt to assault one of his guys?  Might one of the opposing fans urge one of his players - say, William Buford - to miss a free throw?  The possibilities are endless of what negative things might happen.

That’s right folks, Presbyterian College is visiting Columbus tonight.  Do whatever it is you need to do to protect your players tonight, Thad.  Whatever it takes.

Based on these events, can Central Michigan entice its next football coach by stating that he will likely be the head coach of Cincinnati within 3 years?

We were wondering what was the biggest concern for Turner Gill heading into the head coaching job at Kansas.  Would it be not abusing his players?  Making a bowl?  Competing in the Big 12?  Taking on his alma mater Nebraska?

Then the obvious answer hit us… gaining all that weight.

We have just received word that the Iowa Hawkeye football program is now under investigation by the NCAA.  Why?  Because of this guy.  That’s right, “Notti Boy” might ruin everything Kirk Farentz has built there in Iowa City.  Throwing all that cash around - what was he thinking???

Chris Mortenson is reporting that Brian Kelly will be named the next head coach of Notre Dame.  In an unrelated bit of news, the Vegas odds on Brian Kelly becoming the next head coach of Notre Dame have gone from 3 to 1 to 33 to 1 in the last hour.
