A QUICK Q AND A WITH 3 SAINT XAVIER COUGARS FOOTBALL STARS

 The SXU Cougars are riding high right now. They’re 10-0 with the regular season about to end this coming Saturday against the University of St Francis. They’re ranked 3rd in the nation in the NAIA and their players have been setting individual and team records almost on a weekly basis. With the playoffs just over the horizon I figured it would be a good time to let Balladeer’s Blog’s readers get to know some of the SXU stars a little better. To that end I temporarily shelved my campaign to get them to change their name to “The Saint Xavier Cougats” (I’m kidding!) and with the kind cooperation of the SXU athletics administrators got answers to some questions that have been keeping Americans up late at night. The players’ names are familiar to regular readers of this blog so without further ado (Or Freddie Adu for that matter) let’s dive in.

Position: Quarterback

TWO QUICK NFL OBSERVATIONS

**The Washington Redskins, apparently alarmed at the thought that there might still be one or two people in the world who take their franchise seriously, are trying out JAMARCUS RUSSELL at the quarterback position.

**The latest personification of why I prefer college football to NFL football: Randy Moss. Nothing more needs to be said, just … Randy Moss.
