Most importantly, here is some Easter advice:
Happy Easter to All! God Bless You & Yours! Tip for finding Easter Eggs: Think like the Egg! Where would you hide if you were an Egg?

WHO STOLE MIKE LEACH? Washington State quarterbacks are lining up under center. What!?!?

The Harbaugh era
TEAM OF THE DAY: San Jose State just had a monster year in the recruiting rankings, relative to its past recruiting efforts and to several power-conference teams:
55. Rutgers
56. Boise State
57. San Jose State
58. Iowa
59. BYU
60. Boston College
61. Minnesota
62. Pittsburgh
63. Oregon State
64. Syracuse
So now what? Bill C tries to give an answer.
Crootin’? MORE MICHIGAN.
- The Wolverines added four-star QB Brandon Peters, meaning their pileup of a quarterback competition will continue well into the future.
- Florida State overtook Miami for the No. 1 overall class by gaining five-star cornerback Levonta Taylor’s commitment.
- Alabama, which had a pretty bad week, got some good news from four-star offensive lineman Jonah Williams.
TEXAS DOES OFFENSE: This might be the most exciting offensive play to come out of Austin in the past few years.
OHIO STATE’S SEC SPEED: Ohio State has developed a new breed of elite, speedy linebackers. Here’s who might be next in line.
Pitt’s offense? Pitt has two cornerstones on offense in James Conner and Tyler Boyd. Now the Panthers need to find some other playmakers.
But wait! There’s more Michigan!
Remember that Michigan fan that promised to get a Harbaugh tattoo if he got hired? Well... http://t.co/A4QLiZkQdY pic.twitter.com/26eV3N65YZ
