Jonesin’ for some College Football

The talk of the college football world this past week has been about Janoris Jenkins getting the heave-ho from Florida thanks to a third marijuana arrest. The Florida media is firmly backing new head coach Will Muschamp for doing what needed to be done. I assume South Carolina and Georgia fans are thrilled as well. Jenkins was a legit shut-down corner in college, and with what will surely be a stout defensive line, Florida was expecting him to cut the field in half. Muschamp did the right thing, and in the long term it will help Florida rid themselves of the “Herban” Meyer stigma, but in the short term it will sting.

While this is the quiet period for college football, tonight is the NFL Draft, the only true collision of college and pro football. As a fan of both, I always get excited to see where my favorite players go and see which player my NFL team of choice selects. So enjoy tonight…and tomorrow…and Saturday as we get to relive the past few years with our favorite players as they make the big leap to the NFL. With that, let’s get to the news of the week.

Here’s a run-of-the-mill piece on College Football being shady.

Tony Barnhart uses this year’s draft as evidence of the SEC’s dominance. Not sure it’s a valid claim as the Big 12 had several high picks last year, but what the hell.

Notre Dame’s doctors were ahead of the curve back in the day. Maybe they could have pointed out how stupid it was for Declan Sullivan to be in that scissor life.
