Looking around the World Leader in Sports I found this very interesting article by Todd McShay (of Scouts Inc.). It speaks of five senior wide receivers on the upswing as their college career comes to an end and the NFL scouts will be watching them closely for next year's draft.

A "Quick Hit Post", Trimane Goddard's final play of the game against Miami is one of the four "Pontiac Game Changing Performances". Go and vote for it (link through UNC WP), so that we reward the young man for his great effort on the field.

I found my favorite interview, "The Pulse of the South", to ask him about the gridiron team for the first two games of the season. I was extremely curious of what he thought of the Heels after the first two weeks of play.
