2007 College Basketball Conference Previews: Big Ten
2007-11-05 06:05:00 EXPANDED CONTENT AT: www.thesportsflow.com --> Register for the Forum!By Stefan MingPredicted Order of Finish1. IndianaIndiana returns some key players to a team that lost in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament to UCLA. D.J. White, one of the best posts in the nation is back along with PG Armon Bassett, SF Lance Stemler, G A.J. Ratliff, and F Mike White; not to mention the new addition of freshman Eric Gordon, who is already looking to be one of the best guards in the country. Gordon will provide the Hoosiers with even more stellar guard play and depth.2. Michigan St.Last year was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Spartans, but they surprised many of us losing in the 2nd round to UNC and finished with a 23-12 record. The top 6 scorers are back, plus they added a stellar recruiting class with a top recruit in Chris Allen. Drew Neitzel is back for one last time and is looking to lead this team deep into the NCAA Tournament...3. Ohio St.OSU lost big time players in Greg Oden, M...

College Football 2007 Conference Preview: Big Ten
2007-08-14 00:18:00 The Big Ten has been very competitive in the BCS race and always produces some of the top tier teams in the country. Look for Wisconsin and Michigan to be the ones competing for a chance to play in the BCS National Championship game, with Ohio St., Penn St., Purdue, and Iowa not far behind.Predicted Order of Finish1. WisconsinThe offense should be solid even after losing QB John Stocco and T Joe Thomas. Tyler Donovan is battling with KSU transfer Allan Evridge for the starting QB job but Donovan looks to have the upper hand. Donovan has some experience replacing Stocco while he was injured last season. Heisman Candidate PJ Hill returns at RB, he rushed for 1,569 yards and 15 touchdowns while he led the Big Ten in all-purpose yards. They also return a solid WR corps and one of the best TEs in the land in Travis Beckum. The defense should be rocking with 8 starters back that includes DE Matt Shaughnessy, CB Jack Ikegwuounu, and LBs Jon Casillas and DeAndre Levy.2. MichiganThere is no ...

Introducing the Tundra Bowl
2007-07-20 18:04:00 Since Lambeau Field is a publicly funded stadium and has an obligation to serve Green Bay and the surrounding area that footed the bill for its renovation, it's time to use it for a college football bowl game.Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, the Toyota Tundra Bowl. Why Toyota? More on that later.An event like a bowl game would bring millions of dollars to the local economy very similar to the University of Wisconsin outdoor hockey game that was played at Lambeau Field in 2006.The main argument against hosting events on Lambeau Field had always been to preserve the field of play for the Packers. With the new installation of a synthetic reinforcement to the turf, there is no longer the worry that the Packers will be playing on a beat-up field.And the college football landscape is ripe for the picking for a new bowl game. With the introduction of a 12 game season for all Football Bowl Subdivision schools(Division 1-A), there are now more bowl eligible teams than ever.Last s...

2007 Big Ten Tournament Preview - Part II
2007-03-09 03:01:01 #1-Ohio State Surprisingly #1 seeds have not faired very well in Big 10 Tournament play. 1-seeds have a record of 5-4 in the Quarterfinals against the 8/9 winner and the #1 has won the Tournament only twice (Michigan State-'99, Illinois-'05) in its nine year history. The Buckeyes will face the Michigan/Minnesota winner on Friday and if they win either Iowa or Purdue on Saturday. Despite previous lackluster performances by #1 seeds, I think many who have followed the Big 10 this year would be stunned if OSU was not in the Championship game on Sunday. They are the heavy favorites in this tournament for a reason, and a Big 10 Tournament title would no doubt lock up a #1-seed in the NCAA Tournament for the Buckeyes. #4-Iowa This stat may also surprise some readers. Iowa coach Steve Alford has the most Big Ten Tournament wins (13) and the best winning % in Big Ten Tournament games (13-5, .722) out of all active Big Ten coaches. If not for a 2-point loss last week at Penn State, many ...
