8 Tips for Making the Most of a Large Lecture Class
It’s easy to disappear into the anonymity of a large lecture class—either by choosing to ditch class or because of the disconnect that can easily creep into even active and engaged students’ experiences. Whichever the case, sometimes 300 seats and a single lecturing voice can present a serious challenge to the classroom experience. Let’s assume [...]

Boston College's Steve Addazio invites all 'dudes and dudettes' to Pinstripe Bowl (Video)
Boston College head coach Steve Addazio posted a hilarious collection of Vine videos in June 2013 that solely consists of him calling past BC lettermen “dudes.”
Here’s an example:
Those vines went largely unnoticed until the college football blogosphere discovered them. Since then, Addazio posted a few more “dude” Vines and has embraced the attention they’ve gotten.
Now that Addazio’s Eagles have a matchup against Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl scheduled for Dec. 27 at Yankee Stadium in New York City, Addazio decided to invite all the “dudes and dudettes” to the game in true Addazio style.
Addazio even suggests some sights to visit while in the Big Apple. Those include the “Dudepire State Building,” the “Dudetue of Liberty,” and the “Dudeafeller Center,” among others.
Never change, coach. Never change.

Report: Houston to hire Ohio State OC Tom Herman as its next head coach
Ohio State offensive coordinator Tom Herman is expected to be the next coach at Houston, according to a report by Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman.
Herman has spent the past three seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Buckeyes and won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant. Herman became a hot name during this offseason after turning backup quarterback J.T. Barrett into a Heisman contender and helping win the Big Ten title with third-stringer Cardale Jones.
Houston becomes the third AAC team to hire an offensive coordinator as its head coach. SMU hired Clemson’s Chad Morris and Tulsa hired Baylor’s Phillip Montgomery.
Houston fired coach Tony Levine after finishing 7-5 this season.

Former Alabama LB C.J. Mosley honors Auburn's Jakell Mitchell (Photo)
Sad news emerged out of Auburn Sunday with the tragic death of Tigers freshman tight end Jakell Mitchell. An outpouring of condolences and support from the football community was sent Auburn’s way, including from former Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley.
Mosley, now in his rookie season with the Baltimore Ravens, put the Alabama-Auburn rivalry aside and honored Mitchell with a message on his cleats before Sunday’s game against Jacksonville.
🙏🙏 rip Jakell Mitchell and praying for the #AuburnFamily http://ift.tt/1yQkDC0
— CJ Mosley (@TreyDeuce32RTR) December 14, 2014
Mitchell redshirted his first season with the Auburn program and was expected to compete for a starting role for the Tigers in 2015.
"I'm devastated and saddened by the passing of Jakell Mitchell," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said in a statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with Jakell's family and friends, who are suffering through this senseless tragedy. I know the Auburn Family is hurting, especially our players and coaches, and we are going to love and support them through this difficult time. We have lost a member of our family too young, too soon."
Hours after Mitchell’s death, 22-year-old Markale Hart was arrested and charged with murder.

Oregon State honors Marcus Mariota in newspaper ad (Photo)
Oregon and Oregon State may be huge rivals, but the two programs certainly respect one another.
To show that respect for Oregon and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota, Oregon State took out a full page ad in The Oregonian to congratulate Mariota on winning college football’s most prestigious hardware.
The ad reads:
Our own Terry Baker brought that treasured hardware home to Oregon 52 years ago. So we know that feeling. And what it takes to get there.
It takes doing the work. Showing up, then stepping up. Becoming a leader on the field.
It takes thousands of yards, gained one pass and one run at a time. Keeping your head in today’s game, not on yesterday’s hype.
It takes dedication. Standing with your team until the job’s done. Representing your school and state with character to the last.
And you’ve done that.
Congratulations, Marcus Mariota, on winning the Heisman Trophy. From the Oregon State Beavers.
That’s a pretty awesome gesture from the Beavers. Mariota became the first Ducks player to win the Heisman and the first from an Oregon school since OSU’s Terry Baker in 1962.
With the Heisman media frenzy coming to a close, Mariota will turn his attention to the Ducks’ New Year’s Day College Football Playoff semifinal matchup against Florida State in the Rose Bowl.

Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight cleared to play in bowl game
More than a month after being injured against Baylor, Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight has been cleared to play.
The sophomore went down with a neck injury on Nov. 8 and missed the Sooners’ final three games of the season, but returned to practice on Saturday, the program announced.
“It’s a big plus, definitely,” OU head coach Bob Stoops said of Knight’s return. “We’ve missed him the last several weeks. Obviously he’s got experience and the bowl experience from a year ago, so hopefully this will give us a big boost.”
According to the Oklahoman, doctors had been hesitant to clear Knight to play after being diagnosed with transient quadriplegia, a condition that can range from “mild weakness that goes away in minutes to complete paralysis that lasts for hours.” Knight, who is 11-3 as Oklahoma’s starter, was able to walk around after the Baylor game, but he was held out of action as pain from the injury lingered.
Now, Knight is set to make his return to the field when the Sooners take on Clemson in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Dec. 29.
“It felt so good to get back and run around with the guys a little bit and throw the ball around,” Knight said. “It’s been tough not being able to practice for so long. I got back in there and got a little rhythm throughout practice and knocked a little rust off. It definitely felt good to be back out there.”
Before the injury, Knight had thrown for 2,197 yards, 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 58.1 percent of his passes.
With Knight out, freshman Cody Thomas filled in for the 8-4 Sooners’ final three games, beating Texas Tech and Kansas while losing to Oklahoma State.
