Oh yes, she is definitely in the game
It’s that time of the year again. Time to head to your local electronics store and pick up NCAA and right all the wrongs from last years football season. Unfortunately next gen college football has not been too kind to us. On Xbox and PS2 NCAA football was a wildly fun romp that played differently from madden and in many ways was more fun. Next gen systems though NCAA have struggled with poor graphics, fluctuating frame rates, and plenty of bugs.

It just wouldn’t be a normal morning if Lane Kiffin and the Tennesse Volunteers were not making headlines and this morning is no different. GoVolsXtra.com is reporting that Kiffin and the Vols strength and conditioning coach Mark Smith are at odds and Smith may not be with the team when summer conditioning begins in June. The issue between the two has not been made public. I am on record as saying the Vols needed to get new blood and life into the program, but this constant everyday issues Lane Kiffin seems to have with virtually everyone is starting to make Al Davis look sane.

Well, I have been awake since 5am so the morning has already been pretty crappy…let me explain. I was up until midnight watching the Cavaliers choke(GAG) away game 1 of the eastern conference finals. I had a 7am conference call for my real job(hahaha), which covered basically things I know nothing about. Bored out of my mind, I sign into the EmptyBackfield to see if any of my fellow EBers had posted to our shiny new blog and I find the first of what will be many shots at mine(Freeman) and Gilmore’s College Football rooting interest.
See Gilly and I are Ohio State fans….however we didn’t attend tOSU. I grew up in Columbus and attended Ohio University in Athens while Gilly grew up in Florida and attended UCF, but by the grace of god has parents who are tOSU alums. I think you would be hard pressed to find two people who follow Ohio State closer, but the fact that we hold degrees from other universities is a constant harping point for the other 3 EBers. It always makes for good email battles, which you will now see on EmptyBackfield so sit back and enjoy the ride……
