Don’t get us wrong the Maryland West Virginia series starting in 2010 will be good football. But it’s the Hokies not the Terps the Mountaineers should be playing every year. VT and WVU’s rivalry is built upon hate, upsets and epic games not cheesy nicknames like the “side yard brawl.”

After the suspension and subsequent transfer announcement of / from Dominique Davis Boston College received a commitment from 25-year-old quarterback Dave Shinskie.

Shinskie, who graduated from Mount Carmel in 2003, has been away from football for a long time. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder was drafted as a pitcher in the fourth round by the Minnesota Twins in 2003 and spent six-plus years in the minors, compiling a 24-30 record with a 4.61 ERA while never rising above Double A. He was released this year by the Toronto Blue Jays organization while playing for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

What a great move by the Eagles, who much like Syracuse and Greg Paulus have nothing to lose and everything to gain. But better for BC is Shinkskie has four years of eligibility.

The Army Navy Game is going to tour some high profile NFL stadiums between 2010 – 2017. That game makes me feel more American than any cheeseburger ever could.

Notre Dame fans that get It. Because of renovations to the Joyce Center, the venue for pep rallies, the Irish athletic department is scrambling to find a substitute location. HLS has the perfect solution.

Simple, just have way, way fewer pep rallies and then hold the one or two that are worth having in the stadium.

Tomahawk Nation gives us one hell of a zone blocking breakdown (with a sprinkle of FSU specifics of course).

The man above is Keith Eloi and he doesn’t need a man-step for his truck. He had decent numbers at Nebraska-Omaha and has been signed as an undrafted free agent with the Redskins. H/T The Big Lead
