Tajh Boyd To Return For Senior Season

Tajh Boyd to Return to Clemson Next Season
Clemson fans rejoice! Tajh Boyd decided to return to the Clemson for his senior year in order to better prepare himself for the 2014 NFL Draft. Boyd believes that staying is his best option to mold himself into a first round draft pick. Boyd is a machine, as he has thrown for 8,053 yards and 73 scores in his three seasons at Clemson. Boyd holds 39 records at Clemson, and he makes this team that much better. Though he is infamous for one of his bad plays at the university.




Despite this awful play that he would love to forget, I must say that Tajh Boyd is a great quarterback, and Clemson fans should be happy as this team could be a legitimate contender next season.

The Tide Rolls Notre Dame, Wins Back to Back BCS Titles


Alabama running back Eddie Lacy ran all over Notre Dame to win the National Championship


The college football season has finally come to an end. The Crimson Tide of Alabama squared off against Notre Dame in Miami on Monday night, both teams knowing that the winner would be the champions of the college football world. I'm not even sure that Notre Dame got off the bus, as the Tide rolled Notre Dame, 42-14.

Alabama completely dominated this game and it was over after Alabama's opening possession. Alabama marched right down the field and running back Eddie Lacy scored on a 20-yard run to start the game off 7-0 in favor of Alabama, and Alabama never looked back. The game was so much of a laugher that the commentators began making remarks of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron's girlfriend, who was in the stands spectating. With the victory Alabama won their third national championship in the last four years, and showed why they deserve to be considered a dynasty.

Notre Dame never had a chance in this game, simply because they were over rated, and just not big enough, not fast enough, and not strong enough to take on this Alabama team. The Crimson Tide dominated in every aspect of the game, and it really shows that Notre Dame was just over matched in this game. If you take a look back at their schedule, I always look at the Pittsburgh game where they won in triple overtime. Yes, it took them triple overtime, not to mention some really bad calls by the officials in the favor of Notre Dame for them to defeat the 6-7 Pittsburgh team who really should not have been playing in a bowl game. I guess you can call it the "luck of the Irish." Their luck ran out on Monday, as they were embarrassed by Alabama.

The Crimson Tide are the 2012 National Champions!

University of Kansas: Why They Are a Basketball School


Usually when you talk about success in athletics at the University of Kansas, you instantly think about cutting down the nets in March Madness. The Kansas Jayhawk basketball team is a huge powerhouse in the world of college hoops. Kansas's success on the gridiron? Not that great. The Jayhawk football team's all-time record is 574-573-58. The school starting playing football in 1890 and is a member of the Big 12 athletic conference. Kansas is currently 1-6 through seven games in 2012 on the football field. The team has been mediocre ever since the program was started. The University currently has 10 players in the NFL and has produced three NFL Hall of Famers, Gale Sayers, Mike McCormack, and John Riggins. Kansas is 6-6 all time in Bowl games. Kansas had arguably its best season in 2007 when they went 12-1 and were ranked number three in the country. They went on to play in the Orange Bowl and got the University's only BCS Bowl game win in its 122 year history, a 24-21 win over Virginia Tech.

The basketball team however, has been much better. The Jayhawks Men's Basketball team has won five National Championships, made the NCAA Tournament 38 times, they have 52 Conference Championships, and a total of 1,979 wins, which is the third best in College Basketball history. There's no doubt that the college is known for being a basketball school. The Jayhawks are ranked seventh in the preseason poll, and look to make some noise this season to redeem the disappointing football season that they are having this year.
