(USA Today Sports Images)There's an interesting book if you're a fan of football history called "Blood, Sweat and Chalk" which traces the history of various formations and famous plays from Pop Warner through the Wishbone triple option to the modern day spread offenses. A theme throughout the book is that it's almost impossible to figure out the true origin of any Xs and Os innovation because every coach borrows at least part of their schemes from someone else.

So when Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin gets credit for his offensive brilliance (which he should), just know that he had to steal some of his ideas from another coach. That's how it has gone throughout football history.

And in Sumlin's case, it seems his offensive lineage started with Mike Price.

(USA Today Sports Images)The SEC is proactive in the battle to keep fans coming to the stadium and has looked into creative ways to keep attendance high, including adding WiFi to their stadiums.

One thing that didn't come up as much was fixing the increasingly overwhelming cost of going to games. And – spoiler alert! – don't expect that to be high on the priority list for any school.

But many fans do feel the price of going to college football games is overwhelming. AL.com did an informal survey of SEC fans from around the country, and even some outside the United States, and the most interesting finding is 83 percent replied yes to, "Do you believe average fans have been priced out of attending college football games?"

That's a problem.

(USA Today Sports Images)Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison has some legal problems to deal with, but at least along the way he provided one of the funnier lines of the year.

Morrison got to the Kava Lounge and apparently did not want to pay a cover charge. Then, according to the Associated Press, like a misplaced signature line from a movie superhero, he identified himself.

"Do you know who I am? I am a UF football player. I am Antonio!" Morrison said, according to the AP.

"I am Antonio!" did not get Morrison out of the cover charge, though it should have. That's gold.

(USA Today Sports Images)Here we thought Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was too busy attending the NBA Finals to be harassed in College Station.

Apparently something happened in the early morning hours on Sunday to tweet – with an expletive – that he was very ready to be done with his college experience at Texas A&M. He has since deleted the tweet but it was grabbed by a few of his 360,000 followers, including @tverdeur04 (link has uncensored tweet), which we saw via the Houston Chronicle:

(@tverdeur04)

He had a seemingly related tweet that he did not delete:

Don't ever forget that I love A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes

— Johnny Manziel (@JManziel2) June 16, 2013

We don't know what set off the angry tweets, and we won't take an early-morning message to mean anything more than temporary frustration. It's not exactly a formal declaration that he's leaving for the NFL draft early or anything. But Manziel's life at Texas A&M has to be pretty unusual.

We've written about how he didn't feel he could take classes on campus in the

(USA Today Sports Images)This offseason we will count down various topics from Monday through Friday, bringing you the top five of the important and definitely some not so important issues in college football. It's the Doc Five, every week until we will thankfully have actual games to discuss.

GREATEST COLLEGE PLAYERS WITH QUIETEST NFL CAREERS

NO. 1, TIM TEBOW

Let's assume Tim Tebow's NFL career is over, as some around him apparently believe, or that he won't become a NFL star. Maybe he has a Doug Williams or Doug Flutie type revival in him, but that would be an upset at this point.

If that's the case, how should we remember Tebow, next year or 30-40 years from now?

Here's how I think he'll be remembered, at least to most people: As a punchline. As a NFL bust. Michael Silver, in the first sentence of a story about Peyton Manning this week, said Manning's journey "was as choppy as a Tim Tebow pass through a stiff Mile High breeze." That's what he is, a synonym for bad quarterback play. The attention to Tebow has been so intense, he has been so polarizing as a player and his critics have dug in so hard that his NFL reputation will be hard to shake.

Here's how I think Tebow should be remembered: As the greatest college quarterback of all time.

(Rivals.com)This next story kind of puts into perspective the relatively innocuous joke of "Roll Toilet" from a recruit earlier this week.

Kc McDermott is a five-star recruit on the offensive line who has committed to the University of Miami. And congratulations to him for that. That's a pretty big moment.

What is harder to understand is why he felt a need to make fun of Ohio State coach Urban Meyer in an interview with Bleacher Report as he recalls how he turned Meyer down.

Remember as you read these two answers from the story that the biggest crime Meyer committed against McDermott was offering the young man a scholarship to come play for and get an education at one of the best universities in the United States:

BR: What's the Urban Meyer story?

KM: The Urban Meyer thing was just funny to me. He came to my school a week after I told his assistant that I wasn't even interested in them. I told him no to his face, and it's got to be one of the top five reactions of someone ever. His facial expression was just so funny. My coach was tearing up and had to go in his office to laugh.

BR: Talk more about coach Meyer's face when you told him no. Was he mad, upset?

KM: More like the state of shock where the guy has literally never been told no in his life. It literally looked like a kid the first time you

Other than Tuscaloosa, the city in which Alabama football receives the most respect might be Las Vegas.

The folks who set the betting lines hold the Crimson Tide and coach Nick Saban in the highest esteem, and the power ranking they're giving Alabama this season might be unprecedented.

According to R.J. Bell of the gambling site Pregame.com, Alabama is favored by at least 17 points in all but two games, according to betting lines set by the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. The Golden Nugget released early lines on the college football games of the year, including 10 Alabama games. Even in Alabama's biggest game this season at probable top five team Texas A&M, Alabama is favored by six points. The Crimson Tide are favored by 11.5 points against LSU in the only other Alabama spread that's less than 17 points.

In other words, Las Vegas fully expects Alabama to roll to at least the SEC title game in its quest for an unprecedented third straight national championship.

Alabama has been favored in 41 straight games. Crimson Tide favored in all TEN 2013 games released by Golden Nugget today.

Packers football and its history means a lot to the people of Wisconsin, maybe even a little too much. I understand that, because I'm from there.

And it's arguable no player meant more in that state than Brett Favre.

The last few years have been awkward. Favre going to the Vikings wasn't unforgivable to Packers fans, although it was pretty close. If you're not from the Midwest, you really can't understand how personal the Bears-Packers-Vikings rivalry is.

But he was still Brett Favre, the player who saved the franchise from decades of losing and embarrassment to finally bring a Super Bowl back to Green Bay. Everyone knew at some point the ice would thaw and he'd come back to be honored, but the big step was Favre expressing that he wanted that. And Packers fans probably wanted some sign that Favre wanted to return and be cheered as much as they wanted him back.

Well, finally Favre is starting to show that it would mean plenty for him to come back to Lambeau Field, as the good guy this time.
