Urban Meyer's wife 'cried tears of joy' when learning Ohio State made the College Football Playoff



Dec 6, 2014; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer celebrates along with wife Shelley Meyer after the Buckeyes defeated Wisconsin 59-0 at the Big Ten championship at Lucas Oil Stadium. (Thomas J. Russo-USA TODAY Sports) The hours between the end of Ohio State’s dominant 59-0 victory over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Saturday night and the announcement of the four College Football Playoff teams on Sunday were stressful for Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer.


Meyer sat in his Dublin, Ohio, living room, operating the remote controller as the 12:45 p.m. ET unveiling approached. When he finally learned the good news, per Sports Illustrated’s Pete Thamel, who was there with Meyer and his family and friends, Meyer “reflexively jumped out of his chair” and when he landed “his knees buckled, seemingly in disbelief.”


“I kind of melted,” Meyer said.


Meyer then embraced his daughter while his wife “cried tears of joy.”


From SI:



Meyer took one step away from the crowd gathered on the outskirts of his living room before raising his right arm in triumph and enveloping his daughter Nicki in a long embrace. His wife, Shelley, cried tears of joy. Neighbors Jeff and Bonnie Roby stepped forward and popped a $180 bottle of 2004 Dom Pérignon for a celebratory toast, the cork’s explosion coinciding with a merciful decrease of the TV volume. Meyer circled the room and gave everyone a hug, his look a mix of joy and relief. “Wow,” he said at one point. “This is history.”



Not long after, Thamel wrote, the small crowd dispersed and Meyer was back in business mode.


“Time to go to work,” he said. “Exams. Practice schedules. Travel. All of that.”


The Buckeyes will take on top-ranked Alabama on New Year’s Day in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans for the national semifinal.


The winner will move on to face the winner of the Rose Bowl between Florida State and Oregon on January 12 in Arlington, Texas.

Virginia Tech CB Brandon Facyson breaks leg in practice



COLUMBUS, OH - SEPTEMBER 6: Brandon Facyson #31 of the Virginia Tech Hokies celebrates after Virginia Tech upset the Ohio State Buckeyes 35-21 at Ohio Stadium on September 6, 2014 in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images) Virginia Tech cornerback Brandon Facyson burst onto the scene last year and earned third-team All-ACC honors by registering 27 tackles and five interceptions as a true freshman.


His sophomore season has not gone as well.


After missing much of the season with a stress reaction in his left leg, the program announced Monday that Facyson “suffered a tibia and fibula fracture of his left leg” during bowl practice on Sunday. He then underwent surgery on Sunday night and is expected to miss spring practice with a targeted return to the field over the summer.


The stress reaction in his left leg kept the 6-foot-2, 189-pound Facyson out of spring practice. He had surgery in May to help with the healing process and was able to play in the Hokies’ first three games of the season. He then re-aggravated the injury and has not seen the field since.


According to a release from the program, Facyson will pursue a medical hardship waiver for this season. He has not used a redshirt to this point, either.


In the three games Facyson, a Rivals.com three-star recruit in the class of 2013, played this season, he registered six tackles and five pass breakups.


The Hokes, 6-6, will play Cincinnati in the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Md., on Dec. 27.

Nike unveils College Football Playoff uniform changes



Nike supplies the uniforms for all four of the teams in the College Football Playoff and it will be tweaking the duds for all of them.


The biggest change, predictably, is to Oregon's uniforms. Instead of wearing the helmets with wings like it has for most of the season, Oregon will wear the "O" logo on its helmets.



Each school will wear new Nike gloves and cleats. The gloves are Nike's Vapor Jet Knit gloves and "the new knit construction is the next evolution in natural motion glove construction, allowing for full freedom of movement." The Vapor Untouchable cleats will be in each team's colors.


All four teams will also wear new undershirts. Alabama's is designed to look like an elephant's skin. The texturing is composed of "mantras, quotes and team inspirations." Florida State's has a pattern with the Seminole logo at the chest.



Ohio State will wear its Mach Speed uniforms, which feature a different striping pattern on the sleeves. Since Alabama is the home team on January 1, the Buckeyes will be in white. Its undershirt will also be based off a Woody Hayes' chalk board.

Washington State’s rough season got even rougher when star senior quarterback Connor Halliday went down with a broken leg against USC on Nov. 1, ending his career. Entering the game, Halliday led the country with 3,833 passing yards and 32 touchdowns.


To honor his efforts with the Cougars, someone paid for a billboard in Spokane, Wash., his hometown, thanking him for his great career.

Halliday finished his career with 11,308 yards and 90 touchdowns and set an NCAA record earlier in the 2014 season with 734 passing yards against Cal.

Navy to wear new 'Don't Tread On Me' uniforms for Army-Navy game (Photos)



Saturday marks the 115th edition of the historic rivalry between Army and Navy. To commemorate the occasion, Navy will wear special “Don’t Tread On Me” uniforms when kickoff rolls around at 3:00 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.


(via Navy Athletics)

According to a release from Navy, the uniforms are inspired by the First Navy Jack and have the “Don’t Tread On Me” motto on the hem of each jersey and on the side of the pants.


From Navy:



In 2002 Secretary of the Navy Gordon R. England ordered all United States Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack with the "Don't Tread On Me" motto and moving rattlesnake in place of the regular Navy Jack for the duration of the global war on terror. The First Navy Jack, with its red and white stripes, was first used by the Continental Navy during the American Revolution.



(via Navy Athletics)

Additionally, the helmet has a new N-star logo with the red and white stripes from the flag, along with the interlocking rattlesnake. Also, the 13 red stripes from the flag are represented on the “shoulders of the jersey, knee insets of the pants, palms of the gloves, baselayer and socks.”


(via Navy Athletics)

(via Navy Athletics)

Coming off back-to-back wins over Georgia Southern and South Alabama, the 6-5 Midshipmen will look to make it three straight wins to close out the regular season with a win over the Black Knights.


Army won two of its last three games to improve its record to 4-7 heading into Saturday’s game.


Navy has won 12 consecutive games in the series and is scheduled to face San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23.

Dana Holgorsen and Jake Spavital have some fun Liberty Bowl banter



West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen and Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital are already having a back-and-forth about their schools' December 29 meeting in the Liberty Bowl.


The two coached together at Houston, Oklahoma State and West Virginia before Spavital became Texas A&M's offensive coordinator in 2013. Spavital was a grad assistant at Houston and Oklahoma State while Holgorsen was an assistant and was West Virginia's quarterbacks coach for two seasons after Holgorsen was hired as the Mountaineers' head coach.


According to Tony Caridi, the Mountaineers' play-by-play announcer, Spavital started it via phone and then the banter took off on Twitter from there.

Tony Sanchez reportedly set to be UNLV coach



UNLV is going to the high school ranks to find its new coach.


Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Tony Sanchez, the coach at Las Vegas' Bishop Gorman High School, will be the Rebels' new coach. The school's board of regents has a meeting on December 16 to discuss Sanchez's contract. A source told the paper the basic agreement for Sanchez to become coach was in place.


The Review-Journal said an official announcement could come as soon as Wednesday.


Bishop Gorman won its sixth-straight state championship on Saturday in a 70-28 rout. Bishop Gorman is the top team in USA Today's high school football rankings. The school's team has 10 prospects rated by Rivals.com including Cordell Broadus, the son of rapper Snoop Dogg. In Sanchez's time at the school, Bishop Gorman has gone 85-5.


Both the paper and Rebel-Net.com spoke of the indications of Sanchez's hire after Bobby Hauck, UNLV's previous coach, resigned. The program is in need of funds for improvements and they could be provided in the way of donations by the Fertitta family. The family operates Station Casinos and Lorenzo Fertitta is the CEO of the UFC.


UNLV finished the 2014 season 2-11.

Tulane's Kenny Welcome sang the national anthem Saturday (Video)




Tulane's played at home in its final game of the season on Saturday, and for Senior Day, DT Kenny Welcome sang the national anthem.


How did Welcome get picked for the job? Well, he sang "Isn't She Lovely" in an audition to Tulane's marketing department.


From NOLA.com:



Welcome has done weddings, funerals, and he has belted out most of his harmony at First Street United Methodist Church but this will be the first sporting event.




"I've always joked around about it as far as my whole time in college," Welcome said. "I know my mom always wanted me to sing it. I sang a snippet of it on the ESPN Access when we did a tour of the stadium, and after that, all the people were interested in me singing."



Welcome, a redshirt senior, played in all of Tulane's 12 games this season and had one tackle. His voice has the approval of his coach Curtis Johnson, however. And our approval too. Welcome is really good.


"He can sing. It's funny. I listen to Luther Vandross a lot and I try to serenade my wife and it only works about half the time," Johnson said. "But I listen to him and, golly, he sounds like Luther. He can really, really sing. I'm impressed and it's hard to impress me."


Tulane lost to Temple 10-3 on Saturday. The Green Wave finish the season 3-9.
