UW Footballer Arrested After Fight At Gym

Player: Jake Irwin
Team: Wisconsin Football
Charges: Disorderly Conduct and Battery
Arrest Date: September 1, 2011

Police Report: Defensive lineman Jake Irwin was arrested for his role in a fight that occurred outside of Red Gym (the on campus gym Badger students work out in). And not only was Irwin allegedly struck in the head with a rock during the incident, sadly shortly after learning of his arrest… head coach Bret Bielema dismissed him from the team. Talk about adding insult to injury.

The NFL Starts Suspending NCAA Violators

College football players beware, the NFL is now making you pay for your past sins. Firs it was Terrelle Pryor who was served with a five game suspension for violating NCAA rules and now today word comes that Jimmy Tressel must sit six games before he can officially become the Colts new “game day coordinator” for what he did at Ohio State.

And while some wold say it’s wrong what the NFL is doing, I applaud them. It’s about time that the NFL stop allowing players and coaches to simply jump to the pros to escape punishment from the NCAA…. and I’d like to see this extended to the NBA and MLB. This is the only way that the NCAA is ever going to curb all the violations.

What We Learned Last Night

Russell Wilson Is The Trust: Wisconsin is my new favorite to win the Big 10.Russell was looking like the reincarnation of Cam Newton out there last night. Granted it was against UNLV, who is hardly the kind of competition he’ll be seeing in league play, but he was rather impressive… passing for 10-13 for 255 yards, 2 TDs and no INTs, while rushing 62 yards and 1TD.

Kentucky Sucks: Don’t let the final score of 14-3 fool you… Kentucky was horrible against Western Kentucky. They had under 100 yards both rushing and passing. Their starting QB threw 3 INTs and just 1 TD. They were minus ten in time of possession. And worst of all they had more penalties (17) and punts (15) as points. Yeah its going to be a long year in the SEC.

Surprise Football Suspensions

Tisk, tisk, tisk. With all the drama going on in college football, Mississippi State is over here trying to pull a fast one on us. Out the blue earlier today, we started hearing rumors that the Bulldogs would be suspending 10 players for tonight opening game versus Memphis… well as it turns out only five have been suspended, including Brett Favre’s newphew QB Dylan Favre, for the ol’ violation of team rules bs.

But that’s not all. Ohio State is also suspending three players for their opener against Akron… running back Jordan Hall and defensive backs Corey Brown and Travis Howard have been suspended for receiving impermissible benefits of $300 or less at a charity event earlier this year. When are these Buckeyes going to learn?

The Big Ten Unveils Its Championship Trophy

The Big Ten has become a joke. Their conference names are wack. The Iowa/Iowa State trophy was so bad they scrapped it in less than a week. But today they’ve finally done something right. Above is the first picture of the new trophy that will be given out to the winner of this years first annual (in recent memory) Big Ten Football Championship Game. It kinda looks like the Super Bowl Trophy, but slicker. [via]

The Wisconsin Badger Crashes A Wedding

When it comes to dancing Bucky, the Wisconsin Badger, is second to none. Dude is like the Chris Brown of college mascots… can’t nobody see him on the dance floor. He loves it so much, Bucky is even showed up to a random wedding this past weekend to teach the people how to Dougie and Jump Around. [via]

New Cy-Hawk Trophy Scrapped After 5 Days

Well that was quick. Less than a week after the Iowa Corn Growers Association unveiled the new design for the Cy-Hawk Trophy (given out to the winner of the Iowa vs Iowa State football game), depicting a family huddled bushle of corn… they’ve announced today that they’re scrapping it because well it sucked.

More on its replacement below…
