This year, I didn't follow the spring games held around the country with my customary vigah (that is Massachuspeak for 'vigor'). No really good reason, just didn't. Then, feeling afterward that I had missed something, I started reviewing the reviews of the games. My conclusion: more people should have skipped these games, eg:
Purdue's #1 tailback Ralph Bolden. His 2010 autumn became an unfulfilled promise when he tore an ACL in his right knee. He injured the same knee as a prep. Ralph's 2009 was 200 carries for 935 yards and 9 TD's.
USC nose guard Christian Tuopo ('09: 25 tackles, 4 TFL's, 2 forced fumbles), torn ligament, left knee. 2010 will be a redshirt season for the two year starter. At least he gets to rehab in SoCal. Ralph is in Indiana.
USC QB Matt Barkley ended up with a bruised but not broken throwing hand after bouncing it off a helmet in the USC spring game. That big noise you heard is USC coach Lane Kiffin exhaling.

Former LSU QB Jamarcus Russell is looking for a job after the Raiders bid him adieu on Thursday. He is looking for a job, but don't plan on holding any tag days for him anytime soon. The Raiders have paid him $36 million and owe him $3 milllion more. That other big noise you hear is Lane Kiffin gloating. Al Davis, the Raider owner, canned then Raiders Coach Lane Kiffin when he opposed the drafting of young Jamarcus Russell. At $39 million in earnings, Jamarcus Russell is probably gloating a little bit, too.
