Potpourri of Football Information on a Wacky Wednesday

The USA Today has Javon Ringer dropping on its draft board.

Their analysis of the former MSU RB looks like this:

57. Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan State, 5'9", 205 lbs., 4.53, 2-3: Although he showed toughness in 2008 by carrying Michigan State's offense with 1,743 yards and 22 touchdowns, scouts are concerned about his durability. He has torn multiple knee ligaments over the years and was not 100 percent much of last season. In January, Ringer had surgery to repair his right knee but expects to take part in the combine.

Athlon Sports rated all the DEs in the 2009 recruiting class, and Michigan's Craig Roh came in at No. 12 and Anthony LaLota came in at No. 13.

A former Michigan State Player going to jail after knocking off a couple of banks.

Craig Timothy Johnson, a 42-year-old who played on the Spartans 1988 Rose Bowl championship team, was arrested Jan. 7, 2008, hours after he and Ricky Ledale Johnson pulled off a heist at a Comerica Bank in Alpine Township.

Johnson will spend six or more years in jail after robbing at least two banks and being swindled out of $35,000 by a business partner.

The Big House still the biggest.

With the construction this past year, most of us expected the Big House to fall to second behind Penn State's Beaver Stadium in attendance for the next two years. Well, Michigan actually is still No. 1, as they sported an average of 108,500 people attending each home game, while Penn State averaged an average of 108,200.

Shahin Farokhrany is suing former Wolverine and current Indianapolis Colts CB Marlin Jackson for $10 million for a fight way back in June 2003.

Faroklrany actually had his case thrown out when he repeatedly failed to appear for depositions and hearings, but an appellate court recently reversed the decision and sent it back to trial.

Farokhrany alleges that Jackson hit him in the eye with a bottle; Jackson said it was with is fist. Marlin is also counter-suing Farokhrary for unspecified damages (likely having to do with his drop in his draft status and continued embarrassment over the incident).

Had enough Boren information?

Nope, I guess not. I guess a lowly, three-star LB can still flab his gums and it becomes news worthy:

"Now, linebacker recruit Zach Boren has joined his brother as a Buckeye, resulting in a transformation of loyalty among the entire family. 'Everyone in the whole family is an Ohio State fan now,' Zach said. 'No one cares about Michigan at all anymore. That was in the past and we're all looking forward to being Buckeyes and staying Buckeyes for the rest of our lives.'"

I wouldn't have even put this garbage on my site, but I wanted to point out that Zach's offer list looked like this: Akron, Kent State, Toledo, Miami of Ohio, Cincinnati, and of course, Ohio State. Interesting...
