Tidbits From the College Gridiron – 11/14

Three University of Montana football players were arrested on charges felony burglary and robbery for their role in a break-in at house near the school. Greg Coleman, Mike Shelton and Jeremy Pate were placed in handcuffs after they got back from their game against Idaho State. They along with two others were being held on a $200,000 bond. They went before the judge on Monday and have been suspended from football activities. Coleman also faces a misdemeanor drug charge because a subsequent search found the maryjane in his room.

JoePa isn’t ready for retirement anytime soon. After all he is only 80-years old.

Virginia Tech’s Victor Harris had his apartment shot up early Sunday morning. Right now the police have not made any arrests. This is a scary situation for the Virginia Tech as they are still overcoming what happened back in late April when a gunmen opened fire on campus killing 32 people and injuring many.

Kansas Jayhawks fans aren’t exactly happy right now about the ticket situation for this Saturday’s big matchup against Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium. Some fans waited in line for hours only to get tickets in the second level.

“People in the back of the line were calling friends that were up near the front and just walking up to the front of the line and giving them their IDs,” said junior Zach Getz. “I waited three and a half hours, and I am in row 37 of the upper deck. I’ve never sat more than 15 rows from the field for a KU home game.”

Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was hit with the biggest fine in Big 12 history after his rant against the officials in Tech’s loss to Texas on Saturday. He was fined $10,000, which was double of any previous fine.

Wyoming head coach Joe Glenn got himself into a little bit of trouble by flipping off the Utah sideline on Saturday. He was reprimanded by the Mountain West Conference and on Tuesday apologized for his actions.

I put the polls out on Sunday in my normal UConn football follow up from the previous game. As you can see, there are some changes at the top with Ohio State losing last week to Illinois. Also with Ohio State losing, there are only two undefeated schools left in Div 1, the Kansas Jayhawks and Hawai’i Warriors. My UConn Huskies dropped out of the USA Today Poll and dropped down 9 spots in the AP Poll to number 25 and 11 spots in the BCS standings to number 24.
