Three Classic Football Rivalries We Won’t See in 2012

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 20:08:07 +0000

With the Missouri Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies leaving the Big 12 for the SEC and the West Virginia Mountaineers from the Big East to the Big 12, college football is losing a few annual games that date back to the late 19th century. Of course these teams had many rivalries within their old conferences but these are the highlights:

1. Border War (Kansas vs. Missouri) – Believe it or not, these two neighboring states still harbor some ill will between the two that dates back to the American Civil War. The schools’ mascots Jayhawks and Tigers were both derived from the Civil War but that story is another blog. The first meeting was in 1891 with Kansas coming out victorious 22-10. The series was the second-most-played rivalry in major-college football history behind Minnesota-Wisconsin (yawn). Mizzou leads the series 57-54-9.
2. Lone Star Showdown (Texas Longhorns vs. Texas A&M) Beginning in 1894, the state of Texas’ two oldest public universities have had a long history of good old-fashion hate. From 1910 to 1940 there was only one instance of a team winning the rivalry game in consecutive seasons. Texas holds an overall 76-37-5 lead with many wins coming from 1940 to 1974 when A&M only won thrice and one tie. Legendary coach Darrell Royal was at the helm for most of those wins. Since then it has been pretty even. Each team had won three of the last six meetings.
3. Backyard Brawl (Pitt Panthers vs. West Virginia Mountaineers) This game is so named because of the proximity of the two campuses. The two cities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown are linked by I-79 with around 75 miles between them. They have played 104 times since 1895 with Pitt hanging on to a 60-41-3 lead but WVU has won the last three meetings.

What are the odds of two guys with the exact same name being a college football recruit in the same year? If the name is “James Johnson” the odds are probably not too long. But what if the name is an odd one like Cole Mazza?

Nebraska Signs One In-State Recruit to Class of 2012

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:42 +0000

Sam Cotton

It’s interesting that Nebraska has to look to the far reaches of the country to pull in the Class of 2012.

Mohammed Seisayis well-traveled. Originally from West Springfield, VA, he spent a year at Fork Union Football Factory before playing for Memphis in 2010 – garnishing C-USA All-Freshman Team. Next he was off to Eastern Arizona Junior College in lovely Thatcher, Arizona. Now he lands in Lincoln.

Zaire Anderson played juco ball in Riverside, CA. He is originally from Philadelphia, PA.

Two players, Thomas Brown and Corey Whitaker, will have to travel 1500 miles from the Los Angeles area to play for the Huskers. Bo Pellini also got a rare pick out of the deep south snaring Imani Cross from the Atlanta, GA area (about 1000 miles).

Other states represented: Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, Louisiana, Missouri, Utah and a pair from Texas.

Final 2012 Recruiting Team Rankings (per Rivals)

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:27:52 +0000

#1    Alabama – nuff said
#2    Texas – Mack Brown always gets the best athletes over what he really needs
#3    Florida – impressive
#4    Ohio State – Urban Meyer must have really laid it on thick
#5    Stanford – this is the latest trend school to go to; after a couple or 8-9 win seasons they will settle back in to mediocrity
#6    Michigan – with OSU they dominated Big 10 country
#7    USC – how long until this kingdom crumbles?
#8    Florida State – see Texas above
#9    Miami (FL) – this is baffling since the U is about to get hammered by the NCAA
#10    Oklahoma – meh
#11    Auburn – the south is so strong that even with castoffs you can get a good class
#12    UCLA – Jim Mora and his B.S. Too bad he can’t coach
#13    Clemson – Dabo Swinney saving his job one day at a time
#14    Texas A&M – being in the SEC helps
#15    Oregon
#16    LSU – did Les Miles forget to set his alarm clock?
#17    Tennessee – Dooley doing what he does best
#18    South Carolina – when’s tee time, Spurrier?
#19    Georgia – DREAM TEAM II! …not
#20    Washington – not bad for who they are
#21    Virginia Tech
#22    Notre Dame - Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten overrated Gunner Kiel.
#23    Rutgers – impressive considering Greg Schiano left them high & dry
#24    California
#25    Nebraska – ouch, Pellini
#26    Texas Tech
#27    Virginia – I like their coach
#28    Utah
#29    Vanderbilt – not bad for them
#30    Mississippi State – bad for them; wonder how long this Dan Mullen thing will last
#31    Oklahoma State – big season did not translate to big recruiting
#32    Arkansas – this is pathetic
#33    Missouri – Imagine where they would’ve been ranked had they not gotten Dorial Green-Beckham
#34    Colorado
#35    Purdue
#36    TCU
#37    Arizona State
#38    Oregon State
#39    Louisville
#40    Iowa
#41    Michigan State – they should be better but they all go to Michigan

#43    Baylor – what? No RG3 effect?
#44    Mississippi – barely made the top 50
#45    Arizona
#46    Pittsburgh
#47    West Virginia
#48    South Florida
#49    Cincinnati
#50    Penn State – Hmm? I wonder why they are so low.
