- Oklahoma State has added QR codes to the back of the college football helmets - you can now donate from the stands or while sitting on your couch...will the rest of the NCAA follow suit?

- College Football programs & their Head Coaches are beginning to publicly reveal and/or announce their team's starting QB - a surprise at Boise State? Louisiana-Monroe likes Booty?
