Jake Fromm Suffers a Broken Hand


The university of Georgia’s starting quarterback, Jake Fromm, suffered a broken hand following a boating accident on the 4th of July. Fromm isn’t expected to miss any of the season and still plans on being available to run summer workouts (wearing a splint).

Off the field accidents aren’t unfamiliar waters to Fromm as he also made news earlier this summer when he made an unexpected trip to the emergency room to have a fishhook removed from his leg.

These freak off the field incidents have some Georgia faithful up in arms about what players do in their free time and quite frankly it isn’t any of their damn business. Crazy accidents like these happen all the time and are simply inevitable; spending time with family on the 4th of July isn’t a sin. Jake Fromm gives Tim Tebow a run for his money in terms of off the field motives. He is one of the most down to earth kids that has ever came through Athens. I’m honestly surprised he wasn’t off in the Philippines or some other third world country on a mission trip for his week off. To question what he does when he’s not putting his life on the line between the hashes is laughable. To tell a nineteen-year-old kid to live in a bubble during the golden years of his life is cruel. There’s an abundance of worse things a college kid could be doing; Just ask Jameis Winston or Josh Gordon. Going fishing once in a while shouldn’t source this type of uproar.

With this minor injury to Jake Fromm’s non throwing hand, the gates slightly open for (the number one overall class of 2018 prospect) Justin Fields to showcase his talent and fight for the starting job. The quarterback battle will be intensively intriguing on the field in it’s own right. It would be shameful to see fans continue to pick favorite because of off the field, low probability accidents. Shit, I’ve first hand witnessed Justin Fields passed out outside of an Athens bar but no god forbid Jake Fromm goes fishing.

Hottest College Football Girlfriends

College football’s off-season can feel like an eternity at times. The abundance of time and lack of important news leads to shitty headlines and enables non-stories to be relevant. To counter the immensely dull stories the 2018 off-season has provided, I have put together a list of what the people want to see. After hours of extensive Instagram research, I’ve made a top 10 power ranking of the hottest college football girlfriends of the past 5 years.                           10. Jordan  Daigle - Zack Craig (Oklahoma State safety) 9.  Peyton Thomas- Jake Ganus (University of Georgia linebacker)     8.  Jeanne O’Neil – Will Grier (West Virginia University quarterback) 7.  Paige Loren- Shane  Buechele (University of Texas quarterback) (Left) 6.  Ani Sarkisan - Wilton Speight (university of Michigan quarterback   ...

The Baker Mayfield Effect

By Kyle Langston Twitter: @kylelangston49 Monday June 11 th , the date that Lake Travis class of ’21 quarterback Nate Yarnell received his first offer from the University of Houston Cougars. Though isn't it odd that an up and coming program with a promising 2018 season would spend their time looking at a freshman quarterback. Houston comes off of a 7-win season behind potential 2018 defensive player of the year Ed Oliver. To justify this, Yarnell must have out of this world stats from his freshman year, but upon inspection of the 2017 varsity roster he is nowhere to be found. So we see for perhaps the first time ever, a competitive Division 1 football program extending an offer to a freshman quarterback who has never played a snap of varsity football. The reason? Nate attends the same high school that 2018 first overall pick Baker Mayfield once did. The case of Nate Yarnell is not one that stands alone. During Mayfield’s rather brief Heisman acceptance...
