Floyd For Stetson Head

NCAA Football Betting Lines

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - While he was Princeton's head football coach, Roger Hughes embraced the way his players' parents entrusted he and his coaching staff with what he called "their most precious commodity." The parents of Hughes' future recruits at Stetson University will embrace his concepts.

 

"I'm blessed to have a very unique experience," Hughes said. "I'm going from the oldest program in the country (Princeton) to the youngest."

 

Stetson will be a non-scholarship FCS program, just like Princeton, where Hughes finished 47-52 in 10 seasons from 2000-09, including an Ivy League co- championship season in 2006. Previously, he was Dartmouth's offensive coordinator for eight seasons from 1992-99.

 

Until Stetson kicks off in 2013, there's no doubt what Hughes considers to be his priority.

 

Hughes signed a five-year contract with Stetson. The plan is to have 50 players enrolled by August 2012 for a practice year, then to add another 50 players by August 2013.

 

Spec Martin Memorial Stadium will be Stetson's home field, which the city of DeLand plans to refurbish before the Hatters kick off in 2013.

 

In addition, the Tribune reported Floyd's driver's license will be suspended for 90 days, and he must use an ignition interlock device for six months once he gets the license back. The report said Floyd must attend a Victim Impact Panel.

 

He had faced a maximum sentence of one year in jail.

 

A release from the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office said that Floyd, 21, was then arrested around 3:18 a.m.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - If Southeast Missouri State's struggling football program had accepted its spot in the Ohio Valley Conference preseason poll (tied for seventh) last season, the Redhawks would not have gone on to win their first title. If Villanova had not gotten tripped up at Rhode Island, then the 2009 FCS champion Wildcats could have earned a share of the CAA Football title. And URI followers might not be singing the Rams' praises heading into the 2011 season.

 

There won't be many overwhelming favorites in the 14 FCS conferences this season, although Lehigh in the Patriot League, Jacksonville in the Pioneer Football League and Jacksonville State of the Ohio Valley Conference are the closest to them.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
