Keeping Up With the Jonses: Burns like Victory Edition

USA Today- Former Bearcat Matt Mauk continues his quest for another year of eligibility.  This time going as far as receiving an injunction against the NCAA's latest ruling and even filing a lawsuit claiming that his requests for a sixth year were "wrongfully, arbitrarily, and capriciously denied..."  

In spite of the injunction granting him the right to practice with the team, head coach Brian Kelly will have none of it. 

"Thats ludicrous to think that we would put him on the field and put our football team in harm's way," Kelly is quoted as saying.  If Mauk were to practice with the team and the lawsuit were to rule in the NCAA's favor, then one would assume they might be a little pissy about the whole bit.  The NCAA is as tired of Mauk's Sisyphian quest as you and I are and would doubtless love to hammer Cincy for having an ineligible player on the team.  (see: Oklahoma- Quinn, J.D. and Bomar, Rhett).  

L.A. Times- Part of me wishing I were making this up.  But the other part of me finds this hilarious.  

About a quarter of USC's team is sidelined by...wait for it...jock itch.  

Choice quote comes courtesy of wide receiver Travon Jefferson: "It burns."  (emphasis Jefferson's).  

The only thing that could possibly make this better is if somewhere in Palo Alto Jim Harbaugh is gathering up some hooker's panties to throw in with USC's laundry.  

Yahoo Sports- Matt Hinton, formerly of SMQ fame, has a profile on Rutgers OT, and rising superstar, Anthony Davis.  Hinton even goes as far as comparing Davis to Bama's Andre Smith.  

It seems like a legitimate comparison, as Hinton puts it Smith is only "a Gameday profile or a Thursday night close-up away from becoming a blue-chip stock."  Both with highly touted recruits, amongst the best in the nation at the time, both played early, often, and well, and both are all kinds of big (Davis tipping the scales at 6'3", 330 lbs and Smith weighing in at 6'4" 330 lbs).
