It’s time to go camping!  The teams are gearing up and we geared up for our own camp adventure last week. :

• The two biggest movers and shakers from the off season’s expansion bonanza might actually play each other.  There was the talk of Notre Dame and none other than Texas will play each other in a couple of years. Good for both programs.  If the Longhorns end up with an exclusive television station, this game might only be played on Longhorns TV and NBC.
• Assistant coach Bruce Walker from Missouri was arrested last week on a DWI.  The coaches and some of their wives were coming back from a trip to the Lake of the Ozarks.  Now we’ve been down there many times and we can say that more than likely you will be coming back drunk from down there.  A cab was called, he should’ve taken it.  But hey, Missouri’s used to making bad choices, right?
• Meanwhile, in Ames, Iowa State defensive back David Simms plead guilty to the credit card fraud charge.  He sits out the first game against Northern Illinois.  See kids?  Crime doesn’t pay (kinda).
• Not only does Kansas have to deal with Holden Tharp’s year ending injury, but now they have to change the fight song!  Colorado and Nebraska are somehow featured in the song and since they are high tailing out of the conference, new words must be had.
• The NCAA is on a tear.  They’re dumping on West Virginia, which could affect current Michigan coach Rich Rodrieguez.  The association is also hanging out on the North Carolina campus.  Tennessee is getting a letter of inquiry by these bad boys.  It seems like they are focusing on the south.  It won’t be much longer before they spread out across the whole country.
• To no one’s surprise, Indianapolis will be the home of the Big Ten Championship Game.
• So while Boise State’s head coach Chris Peterson banned Twitter use for players, the player who incited the haymaker from LeGarrette Blount spoke up and let us know what he said.  “How ’bout that (expletive)-whuppin?”  So Blount was talking smack before the game and this guy threw it in his face afterward.
• Backup quarterback Sherrod Harris for the Texas Longhorns will skip his final season to focus on school. Huh?  He must not be very good.
• The Bill Snyder 2.0 magic is in effect.  The Kansas State Wildcats reported record contributions for the last year. It also helps that a very public blunder by Bob Krause fed the anxiety of said contributors.
• On the other side of the coaching spectrum, Florida head coach Urban Meyer closed all practices because of ‘Scumbags’ and ‘Internet People.’ Okay, so that might work for TMZ, but really Urban?  Everyone?
• The USA Today Top 25 pre season poll is out!  Top five in order are Alabama, Ohio State, Florida, Texas, and Boise State.  Yes, a mid major is up there and TCU is not far behind.  Big 12 wise we have Oklahoma and Nebraska at 8 and 9 respectively.  How much will this change in the next couple months?  We can’t wait for the season to get here.
• UCLA is falling apart right before Kansas State’s eyes.  The middle game is gone with two season ending injures and an academically ineligible tag.  We think Daniel Thomas is drooling just a little bit more at this rushing opportunity.
