Oregon State's Going Blue for Boise State

In preparation for this weekend's showdown with #3 Boise State, the coaching staff of #24 Oregon State has decided to paint their practice field blue to resemble the Broncos' playing field. Wait, what??I mean, it seems like a good idea at first but is this REALLY going to prepare you for a team that's averaged 500+ yards of offense per game, scored 42 points per game, allowed only 18 points per game and has a starting quarterback with a 28-1 record at home??

Didn't think so.

Here's how the field came out: Oregon State's Practice Field
And here's the story behind the blue turf, if you cared: Mystery of the Blue Turf



With ALL this being said....Oregon State, did you really think this would help you win???
Boise State wins.

ESPN.com College Football All-American Team

LSU Junior CB Patrick Peterson made the All-American First Team
I'm still having trouble letting go of college football. Even with this past weekend's NFL Playoff games and all of the college football coaching changes, I still kinda miss it. Only things to do now are talk about the draft and give post-season awards, I guess. With that being said, here are ESPN.com's 2009-2010 College Football All-Americans:

Offense:

• Quarterback: Kellen Moore, Soph., Boise State
• Running Backs: Mark Ingram, Soph., Alabama; Toby Gerhart, Soph., Stanford
• OTs: Russell Okung, Sr., Oklahoma State; Charles Brown, Sr., USC
• OGs: Mike Johnson, Sr., Alabama; Mike Iupati, Sr., Idaho
• C: Maurkice Pouncey, Jr., Florida
• TE: Aaron Hernandez, Jr., Florida
• WRs: Golden Tate, Jr., Notre Dame; Danario Alexander, Sr., Missouri

Defense:

• DEs: Jerry Hughes, Sr., TCU; Brandon Graham, Sr., Michigan
• DTs: Ndamukong Suh, Sr., Nebraska; Brian Price, Jr., UCLA
• LBs: Rolando McClain, Jr., Alabama; Greg Jones, Jr., Michigan State; Daryl Washington, Sr., TCU
• CBs: Joe Haden, Jr., Florida; Patrick Peterson, Soph., LSU
• S: Eric Berry, Jr., Tennessee; Earl Thomas, Soph., Texas

Special Teams:

• P: Drew Butler, Soph., Georgia
• K: Kai Forbath, Jr., UCLA
• KR: CJ Spiller, Sr. Clemson

Note: I chose to use ESPN's All-American list because I agreed with it the most even though, truth be told, I would have had LSU's Ciron Black as an OT, Florida's Brandon Spikes as a LB and Bama's Terrence Cody as a DT. Guess I should have made my own list. For other official All-American lists check these links:
