Mondays Thoughts 2/15..

- Many college football players competed and impressed this weekend in the Tyson Invitational track meet in Arkansas. Florida RB Jeff Demps (pictured) headlined the event by winning the Mens 60-Meter Dash. Listed below are other players and how they fared:

1. Jeff Demps RB Florida So. 6.59

17. Skye Dawson WR TCU Fr. 6.78

26. Chris Rainey RB Florida Jr. 6.81

33. Travis Benjamin WR Miami So. 6.85

36. Lamar Miller RB Miami Fr. 6.88

53. DeMarcus VanDyke DB Miami Jr. 6.91

77. Terry Carter DB La Tech Jr. 6.99

79. London Crawford WR Arkansas Jr. 7.06

However none of these times compare to what North Carolina 230-pound LB Zach Brown has been running. Brown ran a 6.72 last week shattering the school record by a tenth of a second. Pretty impressive for a linebacker to move that quick.

- Basketball is big time in Kentucky and it showed on Saturday morning during ESPN's College Gameday. Kentucky became the first school to sell tickets to the on-campus pregame show. Not only did they sell tickets, but Kentucky managed to sell-out the arena.

- Rumors have been flying about Texas to the Big 10, but this may not be the right move. If Texas were to move to the Big 10, they would find themselves in a situation where they would have to schedule out of conference games against Oklahoma and Texas A&M to stay traditional. Obviously the big draw for Texas to the Big 10 is the money and the Big 10 network. The Big 12 should begin to feel pressure to sign a National T.V. contract much like the SEC on ESPN one.

- FAU S Austin Jensen was hospitalized Saturday after being involved in a hit-and-run car accident. 3 players for FAU's football team where on the way to the teams banquet, when they got involved in an accident on 1-95. My prayers are with Jensen, his family and the team.

- S Marcus Bartels received Rivals.com honors as a Walk-on Star. Bartels took over the safety position after the third game of the season, and responded by leading the team with 112 tackles. Rumor has it Bartels is still fighting for a scholarship.
