One and done: Huggins leaves K-State for West Virginia 04:35 PM CDT on Thursday, April 5, 2007 Associated Press MANHATTAN, Kan. – After just one season at Kansas State, basketball coach Bob Huggins is leaving for West Virginia, his alma mater, Kansas State athletic director Tim Weiser announced Thursday. "This is a tough day for the entire K-State nation," Weiser said in a short news release announcing the news. "Bob Huggins did a terrific job during his short tenure to put Kansas State back on the basketball map and we appreciate his efforts. It's a shame that he has decided not to finish the job he started here." A news conference was planned for later in the afternoon. Huggins has said nothing publicly since John Beilein announced Tuesday he was leaving West Virginia to become Michigan's coach. Huggins was born in Morgantown, W.Va., although he grew up in Ohio. He played his last two collegiate seasons for the Mountaineers and holds bachelor's and master's degrees from West Virginia, where he was a graduate assistant for the 1977-78 season.

Ex-Patriot receiver Darryl Stingley dies By SOPHIA TAREEN, Associated Press Writer Former New England Patriots' receiver Darryl Stingley, who was paralyzed after a hard hit during an NFL exhibition game nearly 30 years ago, has died. He was 55. Stingley was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital early Thursday after he was found unresponsive in his Chicago home, according to Tony Brucci an investigator with the Cook County medical examiner's office. An autopsy was scheduled. The cause of death was not immediately available. Stingley played football until August 12, 1978, when the 26-year-old receiver went up for a pass during an exhibition game and was hit from behind by Oakland Raiders' safety Jack Tatum. The hit broke Stingley's neck and left him a quadriplegic. Stingley was born and raised in Chicago. He was a star running back at John Marshall High School. He attended Purdue on a football scholarship. In 1973, he was a first-round draft pick of the Patriots, owned by Robert Kraft. "On behalf of the Kraft family and the entire Patriots organization, we're deeply saddened by news of Darryl Stingley's death, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Stingley family at this time," said team spokesman Stacey James. Stingley, who used a wheelchair, became a symbol for violence in the game. He wrote a book about his experiences entitled "Happy to Be Alive." It was published in 1983. He served as executive director of player personnel for the Patriots and often visited paralyzed patients. In a 1988 Associated Press interview, he talked about the day that changed his life. "I have relived that moment over and over again," Stingley said. "I was 26 years old at the time and I remember thinking, 'What's going to happen to me? If I live, what am I going to be like?' And then there were all those whys, whys, whys? "It was only after I stopped asking why, that I was able to regroup and go on my with my life," he said. Stingley regained limited movement in his right arm and operated his electric wheelchair on his own. In 1993, Stingley started a nonprofit foundation in Chicago designed to help inner-city youth.

Ex-Grambling coach Eddie Robinson dies By MARY FOSTER, AP Sports Writer Eddie Robinson, who sent more than 200 players to the NFL and won 408 games during a 57-year career, has died. He was 88. Super Bowl MVP quarterback Doug Williams, one of Robinson's former players, said the former Grambling State University coach died shortly before midnight on Tuesday. Robinson had been admitted to Lincoln General Hospital on Tuesday afternoon. "For the Grambling family this is a very emotional time," Williams said Wednesday. "But I'm thinking about Eddie Robinson the man, not in today-time, but in the day and what he meant to me and to so many people." Robinson's career spanned 11 presidents, several wars and the civil-rights movement. His older records were what people remembered: in 57 years, Robinson set the standard for victories, going 408-165-15. John Gagliardi of St. John's, Minn., passed Robinson and has 443 wins. "The real record I have set for over 50 years is the fact that I have had one job and one wife," Robinson said. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's, which was diagnosed shortly after he was forced to retire following the 1997 season, in which he won only three games. His health had been declining for years and he had been in and out of a nursing home during the last year. Robinson said he tried to coach each player as if he wanted him to marry his daughter. He began coaching at Grambling State in 1941, when it was still the Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute, and single-handedly brought the school from obscurity to international popularity. Grambling first gained national attention in 1949 when Paul "Tank" Younger signed with the Los Angeles Rams and became the first player from an all-black college to enter the NFL. Suddenly, professional scouts learned how to find the little school 65 miles east of Shreveport near the Arkansas border. Robinson sent over 200 players to the NFL, including seven first-round draft choices and Williams, who succeeded Robinson as Grambling's head coach in 1998. Others went to the Canadian Football League and the now-defunct USFL. Robinson's pro stars included Willie Davis, James Harris, Ernie Ladd, Buck Buchanan, Sammy White, Cliff McNeil, Willie Brown, Roosevelt Taylor, Charlie Joiner and Willie Williams. Robinson said he was inspired to become a football coach when a high school team visited the elementary school he attended. "The other kids wanted to be players, but I wanted to be like that coach," Robinson said. "I liked the way he talked to the team, the way he could make us laugh. I liked the way they all respected him." Robinson was forced to retire after the 1997 season, after the once perennial powerhouse fell on tough times. His final three years on the sidelines brought consecutive losing seasons for the first time, an NCAA investigation of recruiting violations and four players charged with rape. As pressure mounted for him to step aside, even the governor campaigned to give him one last season so he could try to go out a winner. But 1997 produced only three wins for the second straight year. Robinson's teams had only eight losing seasons and won 17 Southwestern Athletic Conference titles and nine national black college championships. His den is packed with trophies, representing virtually every award a coach can win. He was inducted into every hall of fame for which he was eligible, and he received honorary degrees from such prestigious universities as Yale. In 1968, because of a tiny home stadium on a hard-to-reach campus, Robinson put Grambling's football show on the road, playing in all the nation's biggest stadiums. That same year, Howard Cosell and Jerry Izenberg produced the documentary, "Grambling College: 100 Yards to Glory," Robinson became vice president of the NAIA and all three major television networks carried special programming on Grambling football. A year later, Grambling played before 277,209 paying customers in 11 games, despite the home field that seated just 13,000. Robinson had an autographed portrait of Paul "Bear" Bryant, the late Alabama coach, hanging in the conference room where the coaches worked out game plans. Robinson's record eclipsed his old friend's 323-85-17. "If the Bear were alive, I'd still be chasing him," Robinson said as he entered his last season. "I'm no better than any other coach. But I've heard the best coaches in America and learned from them for close to 60 years." When he began his career, Robinson had no paid assistants, no groundskeepers, no trainers and little in the way of equipment. He had to line the field himself and fix lunchmeat sandwiches for road trips because the players could not eat in the "white only" restaurants of the South. He was not bitter, however. "The best way to enjoy life in America is to first be an American, and I don't think you have to be white to do so," Robinson said. "Blacks have had a hard time, but not many Americans haven't." Robinson said he tried to teach his players about opportunity. "The framers of this Constitution, now they did some things," Robinson would say. "If you aren't lazy, they fixed it for you. You've got to understand the system. It's just like in football, if you don't understand the system, you haven't got a chance." Neither of Robinson's parents graduated from high school — he was the son of a cotton sharecropper and a domestic worker — and they encouraged him to stay in school and get a college degree. Robinson was a star quarterback at Leland College under Reuben S. Turner, a Baptist preacher who introduced Robinson to the playbook and took him to his first coaching clinic. After college, Robinson took a job at a feed mill in Baton Rouge, earning 25 cents an hour. He learned through a relative that there was an opening at Grambling. His first season, Robinson's team went 3-5. His second year Grambling was 9-0, not only unbeaten, but not scored on. In 1943 and 1944 there was no football at Grambling because of the war. Robinson coached at Grambling High School those years and won a high school championship. "A daddy pulled my best running backs off our team and said they couldn't play anymore because they had to pick cotton," Robinson said. "So I got all the boys on the team, we packed up and went out there to pick the cotton, then went on to win the championship." The same year Robinson started coaching at Grambling, he married his high school sweetheart, Doris, whom he courted for eight years. Robinson is survived by his wife, son Eddie Robinson Jr., daughter Lillian Rose Robinson, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Yes, he's a transfer!

They have the Gator Chomp. It's not a hand signal, but it's using both arms to imitate a Gator opening and closing it's mouth.

I agree it must not be a good time to be a Ohio St. fan, but then it must only be good to be a fan of the Florida Gators. OSU is the second best team in two major sports, football and basketball. How many fans, including NT's would give their right arm to be able to say, The team a cheer for is the second best in the nation.

Here are Jacoby Gomez's senior stats: 124 rushes for 822 yards with 10 rushing TD's. 3 catches for 24 receiving, 0 TD's for a 5-5 team.

Where is he now? Kevin Murray The former Texas A&M quarterback who led the Aggies to multiple Cotton Bowls in the 1980s has been hired as an assistant coach at Parish Episcopal in Dallas. It's a blossoming private school just moving up into TAPPS competition. Murray has been working in Dallas and coaching elite-level youth baseball teams. Oh yes, Kevin has a freshman son at Lewisville who's got the family traits of speed and a strong-arm just like dad and uncle Calvin Murray.

What Deon is doing now!

Next it's going to be my dad can beat your dad. Remember what this is about!!!!

First off let me clarify I have never met Daniel Meager or any member of the Meager family. Now with that out of the way, I will get on with my post. It has been apparent since he stepped on campus that he has TALENT. How much of that talent was ever shown the past two years is unknown. I am just glad he is getting a clean slate this year to prove he can be a decent quarterback. He has all the physical tools; strong arm, good speed. The only questions are can he make the correct decision and the correct read? Is he THE MAN that the team believes in to be its LEADER? Does he have what it takes to lead a team? I hope and believe so is the answer to all of the questions. But I want a QB who can lead this team back to New Orleans or even farther. Is that Meager? I don't know. Is it one of the other three QB's on campus right know? It might be. Is it Vizza? It could be. But whoever the QB is he needs to have the team's confidence, like Scott Hall did. I want the QB who takes the opening snap in Norman, Okla. to have the confidence of his teammates that he is the man to lead them to the upset.
