Big changes coming for NCAA 08 dynasty mode and recruiting. Sounds a lot more interesting and challenging.

A great new Vince Young highlight video featuring highlights from his rookie season in Tennessee. Some good clips of Merril Hoge making an ass of himself interspersed throughout.

Can’t wait to see Vince progress this fall, I’ll be tuned into every game. Team has fallen back a little around him this offseason so it’ll take big things from Vince for the Titans to be 8 and 8 again.

“Raising Cole,” is being made into a movie. The story of Marc and Cole Pittman is still in pre-production. Great book.

Vince Young invites Titans’ receivers to workout in Houston. Guy’s leadership is second to none.

Destinee Hooker wins 2nd straight NCAA high jump title with a jump of 6 feet, 3.5 inches.

The Big 12 is going to televise games nationally on VERSUS. I believe they’ll still be available on FSN in local areas. (via)

Michael Demperio and Josh Prince to transfer. Prince likely would have been next year’s starting shortstop.

The Seattle Times reports that at the NBA pre-draft camp Kevin Durant was the only player who could not bench 185 pounds at least once. And some morons strangely seem to think this is somehow important to where he might go in the NBA Draft.

How much does a basketball weigh? He seems to handle putting it in the basket pretty well. I can throw 185 up ten times pretty easy, maybe the Sonics will draft me. Oh wait, I suck at basketball. For a kid his age and with his height and wingspan, the bench press couldn’t be less important.

Kevin is still very much a kid who is growing into his body. Greg Oden is 35 or 40 years old and is probably near his ceiling physically (though not as a basketball player). The sky is the limit for Durant both from a physical and a basketball standpoint. If any team or scout (other than Portland) who even remotely considers passing on [tag]Kevin Durant[/tag] is an idiot.

SI’s ten worst college football uniforms. Number one is easy, but I don’t agree about ND’s green jerseys or Clemson.

Athlon Sports has Longhorns as preseason #2. Hope they’re right about breakout year for Charles.
