Chatmon’s story on Gundy wanting Blackmon/Weeden back – I agree on the Weeden front, he could be a first rounder if he comes back and puts up another 3.5k yards and wins 9 more games. The Blackmon thing is trickier. Gunny says he can improve his draft status if he comes back but he’s already going to be a top 20 pick, how high would he really go? Come on Chatmon, don’t do this to me, I’m talking myself into it, you’re getting my hopes up when they shouldn’t be…

Helsley on Markel Brown’s struggles – When (not if) this guy figures it out, he’s going to be this generation’s James/Tony/Desmond. I really believe that.

Mini-preview on the OSU Gonzaga game – The Morrison Bank shot still tastes bitter.

Cam Newton is perfect on opening drives this year – this stat is insane. I’ve read it 6 times and I still don’t believe it.
