The Heisman Trophy race is narrowing down. As the weeks go by, the field thins and players on top of the list create more and more separation between them and the "wannabe" Heisman candidates.

"Ladder 49" reaches a level of intensity in its opening scene that most films never come close to achieving at their climaxes. The movie begins in the middle of a sequence of events: A colossal warehouse is burning and two people are trapped inside.

The front seven for Iowa is an experienced group of players with five seniors and two juniors, and they are a big reason why the Hawkeyes have one of the top rush defenses in the Big Ten Conference. "There's no question having four seniors on the defensive line and our inside (line)backers - not seniors, but they both played like seniors, even a year ago, and they are doing the same now - that is the strength of our team and where our experience is," Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said.
Crone's faith in his girlfriend paid off, as MSU got the win on the road over Indiana. But his hopes of the Beavers beating Arizona State blew up in his face, leaving him with a 6-8 record on the year, while Uncle Joey sits comfortably at 9-5 after going 3-0 last weekend.
In all his years of coaching, MSU head coach John L. Smith has never been to Iowa City, but he has been to Iowa - Northern Iowa. "I've been there once," Smith said.
Expecting me not to chime in on the Joey Harrington/Tony Siragusa controversy in this week's column would be like not expecting a Spartan receiver to drop a ball on 3rd and long. Siragusa-gate (as I've dubbed it) is totally... ridiculous. Every aspect of the war of words spewed from Siragusa, a former Baltimore Ravens lineman-turned-sidelines reporter and how some of the Detroit media recycled it has given me a migraine. First of all, where does one football player come off saying another one "isn't blue collar?" They're football players, they're all blue collar. My favorite part of Siragusa's senseless spewing on how he disliked Harrington was when he said the Lions' third-year quarterback was "not a meat-and-potatoes guy," and "he's over there with the champagne and caviar - and also the strawberries and chocolate." Funny how a 340-pound glutton such as Siragusa only can come up with food when insulting someone. But none of this would have made radio show phone lines ring off the hook or fill all the sports pages had "The Goose" not said the following, "He's the kind of guy that's on the other side of the club than I am." That's the statement that sent shockwaves throughout the Detroit-area sports realm. Siragusa called Harrington gay.
What does it take to be a special quarterback? The football gods have bestowed unthinkable physical gifts on many young men, but history has shown it takes much more. A cannon for an arm and the athleticism of an Olympian can only get you so far.
Slackers of America, set down your beer, register to vote and cast a ballot for Sen. John Kerry, Michael Moore told a crowd of more than 3,000 people. Known for his controversial films and criticism of the Bush administration, the filmmaker told MSU students Thursday to care about politics for just one day and vote for Kerry. "Come out and give voting a try, just this once," he pleaded with the crowd that almost filled the Auditorium.
I recently stumbled across the "Future Soundtrack for America," an album co-sponsored by MoveOn.org that features a variety of terrible alt-rock bands who despise - wait for it - President Bush. Half the songs have suspiciously little to do with politics, like "I Miss You" by Blink 182.
President Bush and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry do not like to look stupid. The candidates' campaigns wanted to secure their insecurity at the debates by not allowing certain camera shots and angles, and asked the networks to abide.
