• Younger OK. Rhodes? Well...Durante to redshirt; Middle's Cunningham probably out for the season

   Senior wide receiver Jacob Younger will be OK after getting injured in the fourth quarter Saturday FIU coach Mario Cristobal said Monday. But the condition of running back Kedrick Rhodes and his right ankle remain up in the air for this week. Cristobal said FIU's situation makes no difference as to [...]

• Football game times & Troy starting QB needs to find his head

  On The Sun Belt Coaches Teleconference Monday, Troy coach Larry Blakeney said longtime starting quarterback Corey Robinson is day-to-day with a concussion. As Blakeney described it, Robinson's head got shots from behind and the front in bang-bang manner against Western Kentucky last Thursday.

  If Robinson's out, Deon [...]

• A few thoughts on Middle Tennessee 34, FIU 30

  From my point of view from the press box, which on the east end of FIU Stadium’s south side, between the 5-yard line and the goal line, Willis Wright got into the end zone. Wright didn’t make it as all those Middle Tennessee defenders slammed onto him, but as he [...]

• Gameday VII, 2012: Middle Tennessee State vs. FIU

  “So, JL, here’s the climax – this team we’ve watched come up from the dregs, expected greatness, now crashes through a losing season like Lindsay Lohan driving down a Rome street. Their only possible salvation would be to win almost all their remaining games and get a bowl bid. It’s Homecoming. The quarterback comes [...]

• College Friday...

  That's the way we used to think of Thursday, especially the semesters I managed to have no Friday classes.

  I'm writing on special teams for tomorrow's paper. As far as the usual health update, Jake Medlock looked even better Thursday as did Kedrick Rhodes. If he plays, FIU doesn't plan to [...]

• Hump Day at La Cage; time change in the pool

  Both quarterback Jake Medlock and running back Kedrick Rhodes had far more hop than hobble Wednesday as compared to Tuesday. Mario Cristobal said "they've got a chance to be ready for Saturday," a better chance than they had Tuesday.

  If I had to wager the next paycheck, I'd say both play. [...]

• Medlock practices; another Sun Belt POW for Savage

  Quarterback Jake Medlock practiced Tuesday. Not much and, watching him come off the field as we waited to talk to Mario Cristobal, you could tell his mobility registered somewhere midway between Normal Medlock and Normal Fred Sanford.

  Cristobal dismissed the idea of giving underclassmen more playing time, even if the goals of [...]

• Gameday VI FIU vs. Arkansas State and other stuff; Team MacLaren

  Seymour Lieberman died Monday morning, having hung onto this plane of existence one more NFL Sunday and almost to the finish of the Major League Baseball regular season.

• Confirming a commit

  This blog will be updated erratically the next few days -- as it has been the last few days -- because of family business. The normal pregame blog, if there is one, for FIU-Arkansas State will be as abbreviated as last week's.

  Some Camp Mitch sources confirm the verbal committment of [...]
