Charlie Weis will be taking his talents to Lawrence, Kansas.

From CCM:

Reports are coming out that center Ben Habern has suffered a broken radius bone. One report says that surgery is pending on Monday.

There are "only" two Longhorns on the list, but they were #6 Ricky Williams and #2 Vince Young. The author says VY was the greatest player he's ever seen on a college gridiron, which fuels the discussion of whether he or Tebow really deserves to be #1.

Also, Knebel and Weiss were both named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team. Congratulations to the future stars.

From the Charleston Daily Mail:

Holgorsen's behavior allegedly reached a point that necessitated involvement from on-site security, sources said. Holgorsen was escorted out of the casino with the episode caught on surveillance. University representatives who were with Holgorsen were said to have then intervened. No arrest was made.

The Nitro Police Department was dispatched to the scene. The official records do not say what happened next, but it's believed Holgorsen was released under the supervision of those he was with.

Marcus Davis, who transferred to Oregon after an arrest for drugs and driving under the influence, is now moving on from the Ducks.

Blinn? UTSA? TSU?

UT senior left tackle Kyle Hix, who has 37 career starts, will miss Saturday's game against Oklahoma State with a concussion, the Longhorns announced Thursday night. That leaves the critical spot in the hands of redshirt freshman Paden Kelley.

Minnesota would not confirm nor deny a report Friday that it will fire coach Tim Brewster if the team loses Saturday at Purdue.

Citing sources with knowledge of the situation, 1500espn.com reported Friday that the university drafted a press release and media plan Thursday to institute if the Gophers lose Saturday to fall to 1-6.

The 1500espn.com report said Brewster would have to decide whether he wants to remain as coach for the season's final five games.
Eh...anyone want him back as tight ends coach?

As most probably expected, the Big 12 will play a round-robin schedule, meaning nine conference games per year. Teams like Texas and OU at the Cotton Bowl (or KU-Mizzou at Arrowhead), who play big games at neutral sites, will play four home games, four away games, and the one neutral-site game.

From PFT: We've confirmed that Ravens linebacker Sergio Kindle has been hospitalized with a head injury suffered on Thursday night. A league source tells us that Kindle initially had some swelling inside his skull, but the situation has since improved significantly.

"Members of our medical staff, including Bill Tessendorf and Dr. Andy Tucker, have spoken with doctors in Texas. We understand Sergio is stable at this time and that he is being tested and observed," Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome said in a release posted on the team's website.

Veteran Washington Redskins offensive lineman Mike Williams, who overcame weight problems to become a valuable member of the unit in his first season with the team, is expected to miss the 2010 season because of blood clots near his heart, two people familiar with the situation said late Friday night.

Following the announcement that his brother, Arthur, had chosen to transfer from Miami to Kansas State, Bryce Brown left the Tennessee program on the first day of spring practice. My guess is that he'll end up at K-State as well, but there's no word on that yet.

A source close to [redacted--RB from Temple] tells SI.com the Temple, Texas running back will verbally commit to Oregon Wednesday afternoon.

The surprising news to me is that Houston comes in just a shade under 6'3", which definitely has to be good for his draft stock. Hell, that's definitely at least an inch taller than Glenn Dorsey was. I was concerned Houston would only be 6' even.

#33 Lamarr Houston DL Texas
6′ 2.75"
302lbs.
33" reach
9 1/2" hands

#38 Roddrick Muckelroy LB Texas
6′ 1.625"
236lbs.
32" reach
9" hands

I'm not usually one who goes nuts for the smaller sites that look like they were made by some guy with a laptop in his mother's basement, but this one actually impressed me. I agree with the rankings on the NTs, except I might put Troup at #3. Kindle, Sapp, and Hardy should all be higher at OLB. But overall, it does a solid job of listing all the guys I'd consider relevant at the positions that are of particular interest to teams running the 3-4.

Colt McCoy’s stellar collegiate career has him high on the NFL Draft radar, regarded by some as a potential first-round pick. The dual-threat quarterback has four years of starting experience and results against good competition, and possesses the intangibles that will give him a chance to succeed. Faced with the daunting task of replacing Vince Young and defending a national championship as a freshman, the perennial Heisman candidate and 2009 Maxwell Award winner had a career completion percentage of 70.33, just shy of the all-time mark held by Hawaii’s Colt Brennan (70.39 percent). This study, however, analyzed each throws from four games this season (at Oklahoma State, vs. Kansas, at Texas A&M and vs. Nebraska) in an argument against McCoy’s draft status and future in the NFL, exposing his accuracy by an offense heavily aided by short passes. The Texas offense uses safe passes as a substitute for running plays and is notorious for short routes such as quick screens, slants, shovel passes and working underneath against defensive backs. Colt may have the ultimate gunslinger name, but with the following analysis it is easy to see that he will not live up to his name at the next level.

Each of McCoy’s throws in the four games were tracked on the basis of excluding yards after catch and recording completion percentage on throws behind the line of scrimmage versus 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39 and 40+ yards downfield. In this study, McCoy completed 66.67 percent of passes, slightly below the 70.6 percent on the 2009 season. During these games he threw for nine touchdowns and three interceptions, a ratio higher than the 2.25 TD/INT for the season and the 2.48 for his career.

Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain, the centerpiece of the Crimson Tide's national championship defense, announced Monday that he was skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

Pretty neat guide, 204pgs. long. It runs through all the games for each team this season, plus all the usual stuff. What it does not list is the halftime performance, which I've been trying to find for a while. Normally the BCS does something brilliant, like pushing Lenny Kravitz to the back of the stage while Ashlee Simpson lip-syncs her way into the hearts of football fans, but I'd really just like to know.

"By our reckoning, the Longhorns cleared $59 million in the season for University of Texas academics and athletics. We put the capitalized value of the Longhorns at $119 million, $11 million more than second-ranked University of Notre Dame, which topped our previous two rankings."

Coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday that senior middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds has lost his appeal to the NCAA for a hardship waiver that would have given him an extra year of eligibility because of injuries.

Instead, Reynolds, who overcame three major knee injuries while in college, will play his final game as a Sooner in the Sun Bowl.

Reynolds missed OU’s regular-season finale against Oklahoma State with a strained hamstring. Stoops, however, said Reynolds has been practicing and should be fine for the bowl game.

Brown is old-school, charming, hands-off. His hellacious motivational rants are notably rare, and are directed, more often than not, at referees or other coaches rather than players.

But is he also just enormously lucky? Lucky in a way that excludes him from the more outstanding coaches of the game?

Is winning the only thing making Mack Brown a good coach? Or do the Longhorns win because he coaches?

If there was ever any question that DT is the strongest position in the draft this year, this announcement just ended it. McCoy's a beast, and would make a fine top-five pick.

ESPN: We've already seen several assistants on the move in the SEC, some by their own choosing and others not.

The next could be Alabama assistant head coach/linebackers coach Sal Sunseri, who's being wooed by Jimbo Fisher at Florida State. They're supposed to talk this week.

Alabama may also have to fight off Georgia to keep defensive coordinator Kirby Smart. The Bulldogs are expected to make a lucrative run at Smart for their defensive coordinator job after Mark Richt overhauled his defensive staff last week, firing coordinator Willie Martinez, defensive ends coach Jon Fabris and co-coordinator/linebackers coach John Jancek.
