Bo Pelini in another great selfie, this time at NCAA Tournament
The tradition of taking a picture with former Nebraska coach Bo Pelini continued at the NCAA Tournament in Cleveland on Thursday night. And we're happy to report that Pelini has also carried on the tradition of making an awkward face for the photos.
Behold a selfie one fan took with the new Youngstown State coach (YSU is located just over an hour from Cleveland).
Bo Pelini is here at the games in Cleveland and couldn't be happier that people wanna take selfies with him http://ift.tt/1xDl5EK

Remember, the coach just learned what a selfie was about a year ago, so maybe he's still getting used to people taking pictures of themselves.
We're also happy to report that Pelini's picture on Youngstown State's website is either the same picture he had from his time with the Cornhuskers or contains a very similar facial expression. You can decide for yourself, but our lives would be a little less bright if Pelini had gone with a traditional smile.

Tennessee OL arrested after allegedly stealing an Xbox from another student
Tennessee offensive tackle Coleman Thomas was arrested Wednesday on a felony theft charge after he was accused of stealing an Xbox and three video games from a dorm room.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, which obtained the police report, a student reported on March 13 that someone entered his room at Reese Hall on the University of Tennessee’s campus between 10:55 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and stole his Xbox and games Call of Duty Warfare, NBA2K15 and NHL 15.
Police learned the stolen items had been sold to a local Game Stop store that day for $176. The transaction was traced back to Thomas.
The arrest report noted that the value of the items was $640.
Thomas is scheduled to be arraigned on April 7.
Thomas, a rising sophomore, did participate in the Vols first spring practice on Tuesday. He played in 11 of Tennessee's 13 games last season as a true freshman and started five games at right tackle. He worked out at center during spring practice. The school has not issued a release on what if any disciplinary measures will be taken, but it does practice Thursday afternoon.

Swinney: Watson healthier now than during South Carolina win
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney concurs with quarterback Deshaun Watson that Watson's rehab is going well. And it's apparently going well enough for Swinney to invoke his team's win over South Carolina.
"His rehab has gone tremendous," Swinney told ESPN. "He's probably about 80 percent right now. Most people would be 50 or 60, but he's not most people. He's a uniquely wired individual. He's great. He's healthier now than he was when he beat South Carolina."
Is it a matter of fact statement? Likely, yes, but given the verbal back and forth between Swinney and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, there's a good chance there's a dash of trolling intention in bringing up the game. It was the first win in the series for Clemson since 2008. Spurrier was happy to talk about his team's win streak during its duration.
Watson played the game on a torn ACL. He had initially sustained what the team termed a torn LCL and bone bruise in his left knee. According to Swinney, he sustained the ACL during practice a week later. Watson wore a brace on the knee for the South Carolina game.
He had surgery before Clemson's blowout of Oklahoma in the Russell Athletic Bowl and said earlier in March that he was a month ahead of schedule in his rehab. But since he's so close to surgery he's not practicing this spring. Nick Schuessler, the third-string quarterback in 2014 behind Watson and Cole Stoudt, is getting the majority of the playing time.

Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell says he's '80 percent' recovered from broken leg
Ole Miss receiver Laquon Treadwell said he’s about 80 percent recovered from a broken leg he suffered against Auburn on Nov. 1.
Last month, Treadwell posted a video on Instagram showing him running with Rebels’ linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, who broke his ankle against LSU on Oct. 25.
“It was not even a month ago when I got to jumping around and moving and being mobile, working out with the guys,” Treadwell said on Tuesday. “It kept me focused and wanting to get back out there.
"There's a little hesitation. I'm about 80 percent, but you know it's getting better everyday.”
Treadwell was headed toward the goal line for what would have been the game-winning score against the Tigers when he was tackled awkwardly resulting in a fractured fibula, a dislocated ankle and a game-losing fumble. The loss knocked the Rebels out of the top four of the College Football Playoff standings and left the Rebels reeling.
However, Treadwell's speedy recovery has been encouraging.
"It was such a gruesome injury," redshirt sophomore quarterback Ryan Buchanan told RebelGrove.com. "Most people said there was no way he could come back in the spring. This is our third week in it and he's already running around and stuff. It's really remarkable to see how fast he's come back."
While Treadwell is progressing quickly, coach Hugh Freeze said Treadwell probably won't participate in football drills until the summer.
“I’m no doctor, but everybody who has any wisdom in that tells me everything looks great,” Freeze said. “Laquon says he feels good. I think when he gets into summer workouts he’ll get to feeling more confident when he starts to run and jump and move more. He’s not doing a lot of that right now.”

Did Michigan send a handwritten note to recruit's girlfriend?
Prom request re-creations and now handwritten notes to girlfriends? Michigan is sure looking like the 2015 masters of recruiting creativity.
The girlfriend of four-star recruit Naseir Upshur posted a handwritten note to Twitter with Michigan assistant Jay Harbaugh's name on it. Harbaugh, the son of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, is Michigan's new tight ends coach. Upshur is the No. 3 tight end in the country in the class of 2016 according to Rivals and the No. 2 prospect in the state of Pennsylvania.
〽️ichigan Love 💙 @NaseirUpshur 😘 http://ift.tt/1M1xLvt

Sending letters to the girlfriends of recruits is a bold ploy, though you can't go wrong underlining "very" when describing how a guy speaks of his girlfriend. You can never gain enough brownie points.
In addition to being bold, should it be considered an acceptable recruiting practice? Mind you, we don't think Michigan is the first school to employ the tactic if the letter is legit, but it can certainly be seen as occupying a bit of a recruiting gray area.

Baylor OL-turned-TE LaQuan McGowan's hands are massive (Video)
Yes, this is a full-size football.
We've written previously about the awesomeness of 410-pound LaQuan McGowan's pass-catching ability and athleticism and we now have an even better idea of why McGowan can be an effective red-zone target. Look at those hands.
McGowan had a catch in Baylor's spring scrimmage Friday night as well as a touchdown in the Bears' Cotton Bowl loss to Michigan State.
Maybe we can get him to re-enact Odell Beckham Jr.'s catch? Or even better, he could do it during a game, given the team's plan of using him as a tight end this season.
