Houston running back Charles Sims, arguably the team’s best offensive weapon, announced Thursday he was departing Houston, leaving his football future up in the air.

“It is with regret and deep humbling, that I am ending my playing career at the University of Houston," Sims said in a statement. "I have a lot of great memories that I will carry with me forever. I want to thank the University of Houston for allowing the opportunity to be a part of its football program.

"I don't know what my next step will be. I have one more year of eligibility, therefore I may look to play one more year of college football or I may enter the NFL Supplemental Draft later this year."

In January, Sims said he would return for his senior season, but after receiving his degree this spring, Sims started having second thoughts. Since he has graduated, Sims could transfer to another school and be eligible to play immediately.

Here’s a little fun for your Friday.

Indiana released a promo video this week for something. Sorry, we can’t be more specific, but the video doesn’t offer a lot of clues at to what it’s trying to share with the audience. Just a few local heroes giving their thoughts when the “thing” is unveiled.

"Niiiiiiiiiice.,” former running back Anthony Thompson said. “That is nice. I like that.”

"Oh yeah. You really fire me up on that one, I guarantee you,” former coach Bill Mallory said.

He then adds: “Holy mackerel," later in the video.

Toledo is the latest school to study the financial benefits of adding beer and wine sales to its concession stands during football and basketball games.

Athletic director Mike O’Brien announced this week that school officials would explore the financial opportunities of adding alcohol sales for all of its of age guests. Previously, alcohol was only available in the press tower at the Glass Bowl and in the suite area in Savage Arena.

As if the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry couldn’t get anymore ridiculous — the schools won’t even refer to each other by their correct names — Michigan has taken it to a whole new level.

Wide receiver Bo Dever posted a photo of the Wolverines new footballs and while they are made in the USA (wooo, patriotism), they are not manufactured in Ohio. See, it says so on the ball. Because a Michigan man would never, ever be caught playing with a football that was produced in that God forsaken state… Or so I’m told.

What’s the best way for a new coach to introduce himself to fans? Well, hand delivering them their favorite fast food might be a good start.

New Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen spent his lunch hour working at Culvers. Anderson took a special interest in a fan whose car was sporting a Minnesota Gophers sticker. According to @BadgerFootball, the man told Andersen it was his sister’s car.

Anderson even tried his hand at the grill.

Andersen's day of food peddling is for a good cause.

@footballscoop @culvers "Day of Giving" today. All proceeds from sales go to Badger Honor Flight which pays to fly vets to memorials in DC — Badger Football (@BadgerFootball) May 21, 2013

(Getty Images)Vanderbilt offensive line coach Herb Hand is one of the nicest and most approachable coaches on Twitter, but even he’s not immune to stupid fans.

Monday, Hand was verbally attacked on Twitter by a Tennessee fan who goes by the Twitter handle @JulianBucio (thanks to coachingsearch.com for pointing this out).

@coachhand dude I think your wife is [expletive] someone while you coach your pathetic football team #[expletive]

Wow, stay classy Tennessee fan. Hand did nothing to provoke this comment. In fact, most of Hand’s comments on Twitter are either praising his family or talking about his latest charity effort. This is not a guy you attack.

Of course Hand didn’t just sit back and take the comment — he fired back.

"You are welcome to come to my office so we can discuss this face to face...I fully welcome the opportunity. Feel free to come by anytime so we can talk about this in person like men."

Then he texted the message to Tennessee coach Butch Jones.

OK, we get that this is a rivalry

Urban Meyer loves college football. After all, he only stayed retired from the game for less than a year.

But there is one thing that knocks his coveted profession of its pedestal — his unbridled love of Jimmy Buffet.

Busted Coverage found a photo of Meyer and Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen palling around at a Buffet concert in Atlanta in April. Mullen and Meyer have been close friends and colleagues since the late 90s when they worked together at Notre Dame. They were also together at Bowling Green, Utah and won a couple national championships at Florida.

This offseason – or recruiting season, if you will – we’ve seen coaches from various schools (mostly Mississippi State) send recruits ridiculous letters in an attempt to get them to commit to their program.

That’s why it gives us great pleasure to highlight Michigan State, which celebrated in-state tight end recruit Mike Sokol for giving his verbal pledge to the Spartans in a normal manner.
