Kansas State coach Bill Snyder laments growing transfer trend in college football
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder is not a fan of the growing transfer trend in college football. “I think we teach bad values,” Snyder said last week at his signing day news conference. “If I can’t get it easily, I’m going to move on. I don’t think that’s the way we want to raise our children. I don’t buy into it.” Those words have extra meaning after K-State lost three players to transfer over the weekend. Junior receiver Dominique Heath, junior offensive lineman Breontae Matthews and junior running back Dalvin Warmack all announced plans to graduate and finish their college careers elsewhere. As graduate transfers, all three will be eligible to play for other schools next season. It’s been a hectic few weeks for K-State’s roster. Byron Pringle and D.J. Reed both turned pro. Winston Dimel, C.J. Reese and Bernard Goodwater all transferred. Bryce Fitzner and Carlos Strickland have each moved on. Snyder could see … [Read more...] about Kansas State coach Bill Snyder laments growing transfer trend in college football
Sumner’s ‘greatest group of seniors’ will be at all levels of college football. But they aren’t the only locals with big-time dreams
Keith Ross fell back into his seat. He was asked about this Sumner High School senior class. He exhaled and let out a deep breath. “Well, they are 41-5, including their freshman team,” Ross said. “They are probably the greatest group of seniors ever. Since 1977 it’s got to be the most decorated time in Sumner history.” “My wife’s not excited about North Dakota,” Keith Ross said. “But we already have one trip planned.” Sumner had five football signees, and nine athletes total, honored at the school Wednesday morning as part of National Signing Day, coming a year after the Spartans sent Connor Wedington to Stanford University. Sumner will have 12 players in college football next year, counting previous classes. And this year’s class will be at all levels – FBS, FCS, NCAA Division II, NAIA and Division III. Jeff Baines purposefully kept his ceremony speech brief. The Sumner athletic director could have talked much … [Read more...] about Sumner’s ‘greatest group of seniors’ will be at all levels of college football.

All-First Coast 2017 All-FBS team: The best area products in major college football
The First Coast area continues to produce some of the top college football talent in the country. Look no further than the rosters of Football Bowl Subdivision programs in 2017-18, where a whopping 208 players with ties to the First Coast appeared. That total is the most since the Times-Union began assembling the all-local FBS teams in 2012-13. In that first installment, only 135 players with area ties appeared on FBS rosters. Now in its sixth year, it marks the first time that the area has cracked the 200-player mark. Times-Union assistant sports editor Justin Barney combed through the rosters and charted the progress of all area players. There were a handful who played for a national championship, others who won one of their own following a 13-0 season, and quite a few who have the NFL Draft in their sights. OFFENSE Pos., Player, Class (* redshirt), Local tie, College, Notable QB, John Wolford, Sr., Bishop Kenny, Wake Forest, Three-time local All-FBS selection; rushed for 683 … [Read more...] about All-First Coast 2017 All-FBS team: The best area products in major college football
In college football, the 1980s belonged to Miami
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — No one could have seen this coming. That is, except Howard Schnellenberger. Miami was the epitome of mediocre in the 1970s, spending only six weeks of that decade as a nationally ranked team. The Hurricanes' best single-season record in those 10 years was only 6-5. They went through seven coaches in the decade, and went to zero bowl games. And their record against ranked teams in that stretch was a putrid 4-32. "I think it's evident," Schnellenberger said, "that there was room for improvement." And how. Led by Schnellenberger, who went from sounding slightly overzealous when he got hired at Miami and talked about winning a national title to sounding totally prophetic when he made it happen. With three national titles in the 1980s — all under different coaches, each of whom had a role in planting the seeds for what became five titles in a 19-season stretch — the Hurricanes owned the decade. They weren't in the most Associated Press football … [Read more...] about In college football, the 1980s belonged to Miami
