BOISE, Idaho – Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl executive director Kevin McDonald today announced the signing of agreements that set the stage for a four-year relationship pitting top teams from the  Mid-American Conference (MAC) against top opponents from the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).

Qualifying teams will be selected according to each conference’s criteria for bowl participation. The MAC is committed to send its third selection of bowl eligible teams based on the MAC bowl selection process to the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl.
<br The WAC is committed to send one of its top teams, based on its bowl-eligible teams’ regional drawing strength for fans of the Boise-based game.

“Over the past several years the WAC and MAC have demonstrated a very high level of national success on the football field ” said WAC Commissioner Karl Benson. “Last season the two conferences were awarded nine bowl berths. We look

LOGAN, Utah Speed. A magical word when it comes to football. It’s what scouts recruit, and what every coach can never have too much of. When talking football with the coaches and wide receivers of the 2010 version of the Utah State Aggies, you’d be hard-pressed to overlook the amount of times speed comes up in a conversation.

From the head coach to the offensive coordinator down to the strength and conditioning coach, everyone notices a big difference with the group of wide receivers this spring for the Aggies.

USU strength and conditioning head coach Evan Simon spoke highly of the wide receiving corps. “The speed of our team is definitely above and beyond what it was last year. The coaching staff did a great job of recruiting players that can not only play the game at this level, but also that have natural speed

We used to have this draft in 17 rounds, and then it went down to 12 in one day, and that was an exhausting day.  And I think the new format is going to be incredible because it’s going to give teams some time to reflect, refocus and then regenerate an idea or a plan that they didn’t have in a long, long day of a 12‑round draft that got eventually cut down to eight and then seven rounds.

So I’m looking forward to it.  I think there will be a lot of trades, a lot of movement, and I think there will be a lot of action each day because of the break of time to reflect.  This draft, like all drafts to me, Coach Walsh told me back in 1984 every draft is a good draft; all we need is about 12 players to make

Former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy
Clausen tried to show NFL teams Friday he is worth a first-round
draft pick, though he’s still not 100 percent healthy three months
after surgery to repair torn tendons in his right foot.

Let me tell you my introduction to the draft.  We used to draft in a ballroom, first of all, in Philadelphia because of the Commissioner’s office was there, and at the time we had 12 teams, and all 12 teams would have a table set up there, and the interesting thing was, of course, that some teams came in with Street & Smith football magazines, other teams came in with newspapers, the Billings Gazette and so forth, and that’s how they did their draft.

And then one intriguing thing was they all had rolls of quarters, and the rolls of quarters were because in those days all we had was pay phones, and they would come in and they would call Pappy Lewis as an example at West Virginia and say, you know, I need an offensive tackle; who’s the best guy you played against this year.

Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen will work out for NFL scouts today in his last significant chance to try to answer the questions at hand and get himself into the draft’s top 10.

Clausen has had some elbow trouble in his throwing arm in the past that teams have taken a look at as well.

He did return to South Bend last month to attend the “pro day” workout of many of his former Irish teammates, something that was noticed by the team officials on hand.

But today is the day for Clausen. It will be his chance to look and act the part of a franchise quarterback.
