Because Colt McCoy couldn’t return against Alabama in the title game he maybe slipped a round or two in the draft? (Morning News) BYU’s 15-game winning streak ends at New Mexico, 76-72. [SL Trib] Read the rest of this entry » Colt McCoy: Texas QB Colt McCoy proposed to his girlfriend Rachel Glandorf last night. He took her to Texas Memorial Field and the scoreboard said "Will You Marry Me?" When she turned around, McCoy was on his knee. Once McCoy gets drafted, she's officially a WAG. Yay? (Victoria Advocate) (27) 2010 NFL Draft: Even though the NFL draft is six months away, we're still kind of obsessed with it. We usually have two TVs on while blogging, and one is tuned to Sportscenter (the other: old school 90210 episodes, flipping through movies on cable we've seen dozens of times, national geographic, Regis, etc). If a Kiper/McShay segment comes on, we're watching. Kiper released his latest big board today, and Sam Bradford has finally fallen out of his top spot. The twice-injured Oklahoma QB has been supplanted by Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh. Good news for Jets fans - Alabama DT Terrence Cody has slipped from a Top 10 pick to a 15-18 pick, meaning the Jets could snatch him up as Kris Jenkins' heir apparent. Also falling: Colt McCoy (18th).

* He became the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl in 2003 (a mark since eclipsed by Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin) … with Tony Dungy’s players. * It’s a logical conclusion that Gruden used his NFL Draft appearance as a springboard to this gig. We enjoyed his work at the draft; we weren’t the only ones.

The Gators might have four first-round picks, and the U and FSU are expected to have several players drafted, as well as UCF and USF. The name besides Tim Tebow in Florida that everyone's talking about is USF's George Selvie. (Orlando Sentinel) (20) ESPN vs. NFL Network: How can you give Chris Berman an 'A' for his work on Day 1? Berman was sloppy and stammering; Trey Wingo seemed much more at ease running the show on Day 2. How can you not hammer that clumsy Erin Andrews-Bill Cosby-Quan Cosby debacle? Everyone mocks Kiper for his hair (understandable) and his know-it-all nerdiness, but as Duffy said this weekend, Kiper is the draft. We even recorded (on videotape and our camera) the "Kiper through the years" segment, but haven't yet hooked it up to our CPU to put on the net. The single best moment in draft history remains Bill Polian shouting, "Who is Mel Kiper?" As for this report card, it is overly generous.

Indiana QB Kellen Lewis has been booted from the team. (IDS News) If Pittsburgh (Crosby) vs. Washington (Ovechkin) goes overtime Saturday, the game will be moved to Versus because the Kentucky Derby takes priority. (Watchdog) Usain Bolt walks away from car accident in Jamaica; injures foot on thorns exiting vehicle. (Jamaica Observer) After a brief scare earlier this year, it appears as if the Saints and the Superdome have struck a deal, and nobody’s going anywhere.

SEC Football: Guess which SEC football power had the most players drafted last weekend? Not Florida. Not Georgia. Another college football musing: Tony Barnhart is bewildered that DJ Moore of Vandy (3rd round) and Everette Brown of FSU (2nd round) lasted so long. Blame the stopwatches. Both were defensive forces in their respective conferences. (AJC) (21) Apr 29 SEC Football: Guess which SEC football power had the most players drafted last weekend? Not Florida. Not Georgia.
