More Speed Commentary…

West Virginia Backs Up White

It looks like West Virginia’s policy of not promoting its players for the Heisman has left with Rich Rodriguez. WVU is getting behind quarterback Pat White‘s Heisman candidacy by launching the official Pat White Web Site, [...]

The Dog Days of Summer

This is what a newly-purchased Phil Steele Preview Mag looks like after a day or two of summer reading: By September, this thing will look like it has been through a war. The cover will eventually [...]

A Quickie Heisman Watch

Without going into to much detail–that will all come a little later in the summer–here’s a list of players with the best chance of actually winning the Heisman at this point.  This is not a predicted [...]

The media, like the military, is often guilty of re-fighting the last war. And so we will see preseason top 10 lists and All-American teams for 2008 based almost solely on what happened in 2007. It’s [...]
