Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 Keeping them guessing until opening day…that’s our NCAA football coaches!
Some interesting changes in the past 24-48 hours, including Vanderbilt naming former starter Chris Nickson (pictured, thanks IconSMI ) as their opening day starter when the Commodores open the 2008 season at Miami, Ohio on Saturday.

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008If fantasy owners have become familiar with the name Brandon Tate, wide receiver for the North Carolina Tarheels, it is likely because of his recording-breaking performances as a kick returner on the UNC special teams unit, and not because of talent he brings to the wideout position whenever quarterback T.J.

Roper, who had a brilliant performance in last season’s Sun Bowl game, gets the call to [...]
