Crib Sheet: Let The Sun Shine In

For the first time in about 6 months, the KCCGD headquarters opened up the windows to let the weather in.  The first signs of warm weather and great tempatures can mean only one thing.  No, not the start of baseball, but the start of spring practice.  The recruits are signed and the players that can practice are on the field.  Start the clock, we have about 5 months to go before the start of another football season.  In the meantime, check out this week’s Crib Sheet:

  • Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez was named in yet another lawsuit involving home deals.  This shouldn’t affect his on the field coaching much this season.  He’s still avoiding the hot seat, but if he turns out another poor performance, then these kind of lawsuits will be used as ammo against him.
  • Meanwhile, the grounds crew and security detail for the Big House needs to get its act together.  Someone broke into the stadium and lifted a big chunk of the ‘M’ in the middle of the field.  What would you do with that?  Make a jacket?
  • Urban Meyer is back to Florida and is already spitting fire.  He lashed out at Orlando Sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler for reporting the comments that Deonte Thompson made about exiting quarterback Tim Tebow.  It’s nice to see the fire is back so quick for Meyer, let’s hope he doesn’t drop 20-30 pounds because of it.
  • Kansas coach Turner Gill is open to positions changes for the new football season and about 9 players have taken advantage of it so far.  It’s time to rebuild the program and what better way to do so than with kids playing the positions they want.  At least they’ll be more motivated.
  • Another football player was stabbed to death.  This time it’s Kendall Berry of Florida International University.  This, of course, was a result of an argument and retaliation.  Hopefully, they will find the guy that did it.  When will players see enough of this and not get involved with off campus thugs.  And a suspect has been arrested in the case.
  • After much fanfare and celebration, the loved International Bowl is closing up shop.  Well, there were really only around for about 4 years.  The Big East team that ran over the MAC opponents will now face stiffer competition in the Yankee Bowl.
