If you had told me on the morning of January 11, 2011 that I’d ever be ready to forgive Cam Newton, I’d have asked how your straight-jacket is fitting. But just as we sometimes end up learning something cold but truthful about our team sometimes after a devastating loss, so too can going from 0-0 to 1-1 with cancer in …
Stay tuned this season for celebrity rehab, if you are an LSU fan.

As Oregon prepares for the 2012 football season, one question garners more attention than all others: who plays quarterback? It’s not the first time Oregon went into the season with a sharply divided fan base, arguing over which one was better.
