Alabama QB Greg McElroy is Going Through the Rhodes Scholar Application Process
1-liner, All, College Football September 10th. 2010, 11:45am
Rhodes Scholar: Everyone knows Alabama’s Greg McElroy hasn’t lost in 31 starts as a QB dating back to eighth grade, but did you know he was in the midst of the Rhodes Scholar application process? McElroy also got his degree in business admin in three years and earned a 3.86 GPA. More importantly – at least to the Bama Bangs set – he’s the second most poised QB in college football behind Boise State’s Kellen Moore. The guess here is that McElroy manages another great game, Trent Richardson rushes for 100+ and the Tide defense (playing at home) obliterates PSU true freshman quarterback Robert Bolden in a 20-3 boring blowout. The Tide are nearly two-touchdown favorites. [Daily News]

Penn State wins, book it. Try and act surprised.
September 10th, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Does anybody know his Poise rating in NCAA Football 11? What about his Clutch rating? Is there a way to combine the two like we do for OPS?
September 10th, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Here ya go.
/because he should still be in college

not gonna happen. Bama wins big.
September 10th, 2010 at 11:53 AM
3.86 in Business Administration is no joke either. Good for him.
/go Penn State

Did he make it through to the Titans’ practice squad or did someone scoop him up?

Make sure Derek Dooley gives you a demonstration before you turn on the water.

Danny Woodhead is the 12th scrappiest player in all the NFL
September 10th, 2010 at 11:58 AM
bolden is going to be a really good qb if penn state can protect him during his career.
September 10th, 2010 at 11:58 AM
Personally, I like Dairy Queen the best.
September 10th, 2010 at 11:59 AM
Leeloo Dallas Multi-Ass is also great.
September 10th, 2010 at 11:59 AM
What Bama is going to do to Penn State is going to remind me of what Boise does to 90% of there WAC opponents.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:03 PM
See, Bama isn’t going to lose at home to a freshman QB.
However, they will lose on the road to the 2012 #1 overall pick, Sean Renfree the next week.
/book it

If PSU wins, does JoePa piss on the Bear Bryant statue outside the stadium?
/doesn’t know if there is actually a Bear Bryant statue or not
September 10th, 2010 at 12:05 PM
This might be my laziest weekend in a while, as it currently stands I’ve made no plans other then to watch wall to wall football both Sat and Sunday. The match-ups on Sat are just great all around and of course the NFL is well the NFL.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:05 PM
It looks like he’s still a free agent, unfortunately. Seems like the kind of guy that Belechick would take a chance on, though. Only FSU, besides PT Willis that I ever liked.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:05 PM

He is on the Titans practice squad.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:07 PM

Probably will have already pissed his pants by game time.

This game description sounds just like what the Jets should do in all their games, but won’t.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:11 PM
Lil Schott needs to hear this. He gets too creative with his gameplans. He has great schemes, but would be better served just running the ball.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:13 PM
It’s a win for PSU if Joepa doesn’t die before halftime
/TBL’d
September 10th, 2010 at 12:17 PM
Worst news I’ve heard all day.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:21 PM
what does a 3.86 at ‘Bama translate too at an actual school?
September 10th, 2010 at 12:26 PM
translates into a football team that’s not so good.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:30 PM
Will be taking in my first big-time (D-1) college football game tomorrow at Camp Randall in Madison.
Any suggestions for things to see or do in the stadium area from those who’ve attended Badgers games before? I’m getting there as early as possible tomorrow to take it all in.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:32 PM
Wear a San Jose St. jersey and enjoy ensuing comedic hijinks.

He’s looking for that head coaching gig. Gonna be tough to do.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:38 PM
I believe you mean Ryan Mallett, and the game is in two weeks. the game is in Fayetteville though, so you got the road part correct.
September 10th, 2010 at 12:39 PM
Drink.
/Not alot of scenery around the stadium area, though Lake Mendota is pretty cool. If you’re bringing the family, I’d probably head down State St. Some cool shops and lots of good places to eat.
/Fat Sandwich Company FTW.
