 One of my favorite College Football writers Tony Barnhart just released his 10 Bold Predictions for College Football in 2010 at CBSportsline.com
Plenty of interesting predictions... Among them either TCU or Boise St. in the Rose Bowl, Lane Kiffen will be out as USC head coach in one year, and Nebraska will beat Texas twice. His article got me thinking with what bold predictions do I have? I guess...

 The Mountain West conference has been one of the culprits in the Conference switch a roo this off season and so we have the final year of this version of the Mountain West. Last year, TCU established their dominance on the conference and ran with it all the way to a BCS bowl. And again this year they are heavily favored. But BYU and Utah will look to give TCU a run for their money, in the end I th...

BYU is declaring its independence! Well, at least for football. The Cougars announced today they will be joining the WCC in 2011 in all sports except football, in which they will become independent.
You know that friend you had in high school that couldn't wait to move out of his parents house right after graduation? You know he just couldn't wait to get out there on his own, live by...

 I thought it would be a good idea to look at some of the big news from Mets country so far this week.
The biggest news is that Jenrry Mejia might get the start Saturday in Chicago, after a dominate first start for Triple A Buffalo. A little advice to the Mets, don't rush your best pitching prospect. The Mets should not pitch him Saturday after just one start at the Triple A level....

 The one good thing about almost being no-hit, is that the next game, you know you can't do any worse. That may not have been exactly what the Phillies were thinking going into tonight's ballgame, but they were certainly thinking something optimistic. The Phillies went into the game down 3.5 games out of the NL East, fresh off an Atlanta win. However, this did not scare them, and ...

 We are just going have some fun here. There's hasn't been a single game played, and we are going to give you some bowl projections. Sure why not, let's just see where some of ACC teams ended up. For the full list check out Stewart Mandel's article "Projecting all 35 Bowl Matchups" at CNNSI.com
That's 70 bowl eligible teams out of a total of 120 Division 1 programs. Nearly 60% of Division 1 footba...

It appears that Matt Leinart might not only lose his startng spot on the Arizona Cardinals, but might lose his job all together. The Cardinals are strongly considering cutting the former Heisman winner, not so much because of his lack of production, but because his teammates just don't buy into him.
It makes sense. When you think of Matt, what comes to mind? Hot tubs? Girls? Beer bo...

 While I have not been a big fan or follower of the MAC conference, it usually does have one of the more entertaining championship games every December. But other than that and the occasional Thursday night game, I really don't keep up with the conference, so this will be a tough one to pick for me. I think there are a couple teams who will be big surprises this year. But I think for the fans and f...

 If the Mets are stuck paying the rest of K-Rod's contract, the Mets could be paying four players a total of $50 million dollars that might produce little or nothing for the 2011 ball club.
K-Rod, Carlos Beltran, Luis Castillo, and Oliver Perez will all receive their pay from the Mets next season, but there are no guarantees that any of them will even be major contributors to th...

 It's been awhile since I put together a post here at Eureka 49ers. It's do mostly in part to my increased role with other websites and other sports writing for more and more teams throughout the Bay Area. After a long and confusing time, I've decided that I do want to continue writing here for Eureka 49ers and I want to provide unique and worthwhile content on a day-to-day basis. So bear with...
