Big Ten Football Morning Coffee: Get Tommie Frazier in the Hall of Fame Already

Rise and shine, friends. Here's what's going down in the Big Ten today.

- Former Nebraska QB Eric Crouch is on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, according to HuskerExtra.com. Crouch wondered openly why fellow former Husker Tommie Frazier hasn't been named to the Hall of Fame; we'd sure like to know that too.

There's virtually no chance that Crouch gets voted in before Frazier, as first-ballot College Football Hall of Famers are rarer than a mooing steak. But what's the point of delaying Frazier's induction any further? What purpose does it serve? He was one of the best quarterbacks in college football history, full stop. Acknowledge it already.

- Bill O'Brien gave a long interview to the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, which they posted on Saturday. There's nothing earth-shattering in it, of course, but you do get a sense that O'Brien is acclimating himself nicely to the Penn State job in these first few months.

As O'Brien is always quick to point out, the games aren't being played yet, so there's no sense in evaluating anything, but if he and Penn State are both happy already, so much the better.

- Former Ohio State linebacker Andrew Sweat decided not to show up to training camp with the Cleveland Browns on Friday, which seems very un-chill. As the Columbus Dispatch points out, however, Sweat says he has already been accepted by five law schools, and he was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.

One must wonder how smart Sweat really is, however, if his life choices are limited to being a free agent in football and law school. Just kidding, lawyers and law school students, I love all of you masochistic fools.

- Former Michigan DB Troy Woolfolk is still trying to latch on at training camp, which is every bit as cutthroat an operation as Troy's father Butch (one of Michigan's all-time leading rushers) warned him, writes Kyle Meinke of AnnArbor.com.

That Woolfolk is even playing football after his ankle basically exploded in 2010 is a marvel; with any luck, he'll regain his pre-injury form from when he was an All-Big Ten caliber player and will make some NFL team happy down the road.
