Football season-ticket sales going well for CU Buffs - Buffzone

Tickets to University of Colorado football games could be tough to come by this fall. Athletic director Mike Bohn set an ambitious goal earlier this year of selling 25,000 football season-tickets for the school`s first season in the Pac-12 Conference. Colorado`s schedule has been rated among the toughest in the nation this year with 13 consecutive games without a bye, 11 of them against teams from Bowl Championship conference schools and eight of them being played on the road.​

Preseason position reviews: Defensive tackle - Pac-12 Blog - ESPN

Colorado: The Buffaloes are sneaky good here, even though they only ranked 48th in the nation in run defense in 2010. Both starters, Will Pericak and Curtis Cunningham, are back, but Conrad Obi was a revelation this spring. He looked like a future NFL draft choice, not a player who'd mostly been a bust. Nate Bonsu, who missed spring with a knee injury, also should help.​

If we can't have "make-your-mother-cry-they're-so-good" then I'll at least take "sneaky-good"

Pac-12's 'official' returning starters - Pac-12 Blog - ESPN

Pac-12 media day is July 26 in Los Angeles, and in advance of that event the conference has published its media guide. You can check it out here. One thing the media guide does is make "official" the returning starters for each team, though obviously injuries are still at issue. Here's the list:

• Arizona State 19 (10 offense, 9 defense, 0 PK/P)
• Colorado 18 (9 offense, 8 defense, 1 PK/P)
• Washington 17 (7 offense, 8 defense 2 PK/P)
• Washington State 17 (9 offense, 8 defense, 0 PK/P)
• UCLA 16 (7 offense, 8 defense, 1 PK/P)
• California 15 (7 offense, 6 defense 2 PK/P)

Ranking the Pac-12's NFL draft prospects - Pac-12 Blog - ESPN

Mel Kiper has made two lists of top NFL prospects by positions: top seniors and and top juniors (or draft-eligible sophomores). As for the Pac-12 prospects on his lists, it appears the conference is stronger among juniors than seniors. Of course, a lot of early-round talents don't last until their senior seasons. And the offensive talent far eclipses the defensive talent. Offensive guard No. 2 Ryan Miller, Colorado

Ohio State Buckeyes vacate wins from last football season - ESPN

Ohio State's 2010 Big Ten championship, its 12-1 season, its victories over rival Michigan and in the Sugar Bowl -- all gone. Coach Jim Tressel is out and so is star quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Left behind: two years of self-imposed probation. The question now is whether it will be enough to save Ohio State from more severe penalties in an upcoming trip to see the NCAA committee on infractions.​

RINGO: Punishment anything but for Buckeyes - Buffzone

Have you ever asked a child who has broken some rules what he or she thinks the punishment should be? You get some interesting answers, and usually they don`t fit the crime. No chocolate milk with your lunch doesn`t exactly cover scribbling all over the living room walls with crayons and markers, painting the dog or pulling your little sister`s hair.​

So much of this is simplified when you equate it to disciplining a child. The NCAA totally needs those leash-harness things!
