SOUTH CAROLINA Gamecocks shifted stations during their first practice of August,
new head coach Will Muschamp sang along to the tune blaring through the speakers
that spoke to the entirety of the college football world. CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES!
Its performer, David Bowie, is gone -- a reminder that time stops for no man.
No, not even Steve Spurrier. The games ceaseless march forward always brings
with it a long list of annual ch-ch-changes. Ive been a college coach since
1982, and nothing is the same now except maybe the number of points they give
you when you score, Duke coach David Cutcliffe says. Itd be nice if someone made
a list for me of whats different for every fall. Good news, Coach! Weve done
just that, creating a must-know crib sheet on the modifications that are in
store as the 2016 season kicks off. Well let you know when that changes
too.JUMPMAN, JUMPMAN, I DONT NEED NO INTRODUCTIONWell, Drake, Jumpman got one
anyway. A big one. See: the marching band on State Street in Ann Arbor, plus the
midnight lines to snatch up Michigans new Nike gear when it went on sale Aug. 1.
See also: the Wolverines honorary captain vs. Hawaii in Week 1 (His Airness
himself), as UM becomes the first college team to don Jumpman gear on a football
field. The deal came together when Michael Jordan phoned Jim Harbaugh to tell
him he loves the coachs bold ways. Now when MJ yells Go Blue, hell be heralding
a shade much darker than Carolinas. Its too early to compare sales with
Michigans just-ended Adidas era, but the new deal could total as much as $173.8
million over 15 years. Thats a lot of green -- and blue.RULES FROM ABOVEEvery
year brings a host of rulebook tweaks, and 2016s alterations total a bakers
dozen. This seasons line items, though, arent as vital as the trend that list
reveals as a whole: a larger role for replay and video on Saturdays. Medical
observers can stop games to review injuries; the replay booth has more authority
on targeting calls; more conference offices are opening NFL-ish centralized
replay command centers; Power 5 schools continue to push for real-time digital
video capabilities in the locker room and press box. Doing whatever needs to be
done to clarify calls that might alter the outcome of a game is the right move,
Stanford coach David Shaw says. But I hope we dont end up in a Be careful what
you wish for situation down the road.IS HIRING A FIRST-TIME HEAD COACH
SMART?Twenty-nine FBS coaching changes since last season? Ho hum. During these
win-now-or-else days, turnover abounds: All but one offseason since 2009 has
cracked 20. But a staggering 18 of this years gigs (compared with eight in 2015)
were filled by first-time college head coaches, most notably Georgias Kirby
Smart, who returns to his alma mater after nine years with Nick Saban at
Alabama. I think well all tell you theres a lot of stuff you dont know until the
job is officially yours, Smart says. Theres an adjustment period for sure, but
theres also no time to adjust. Smart is the, well, smart pick to win early, but
hes just one in a group of big-time D-coordinator promotions, also starring DJ
Durkin (Michigan to Maryland), Chris Ash (Ohio State to Rutgers) and Kalani
Sitake (Oregon State to BYU).OLD FACES, NEW PLACESWhile coaches debate the
transfer rule, transfers themselves are busy getting fitted for new unis. More
than 50 athletes went the postgrad route in 16, with history repeating at
Oregon, where an FCS QB will look to lead the Ducks for a second straight year.
(More graduate QBs in 2016 will play their final year of eligibility at a new
school than from 2006 to 2011 combined.) Dakota Prukop comes to Eugene via
Montana State, where he threw for 5,584 yards and 46 TDs. Davis Webb posted
similar numbers at Texas Tech (5,557/46), then grabbed his diploma and headed to
Cal. Meanwhile, a pair of would-be superstars seek second shots in Texas: Former
Sooner, and Katy Perry crush, Trevor Knight takes over at A&M; Kenny Hill,
the Artist Formerly Known as Kenny Trill and onetime heir to Johnny Footballs
throne in College Station, moves north to TCU as an undergrad. Both QBs
flatlined after hot starts -- Knight threw 14 TDs to 12 INTs as a full-time
starter in 14; Hill exploded for 511 yards in his starting debut the same year
but was benched by Week 10. Still, Oklahoma will long recall Knights signature
win, an upset over Alabama in the 2014 Sugar Bowl. If he digs up another in
Tuscaloosa on Oct. 22, he might just save Kevin Sumlins job.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins Jersey . President of
baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the
Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive
last-place season in the NL East.

Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999.

. -- Eastern Kentucky thrives off creating havoc for others. The Warriors have
ended their 2016 NRL campaign on a sour note, going down 40-18 to Parramatta in
a listless display in Auckland.Careless errors and defensive frailty condemned
the side to their fourth straight defeat, gifting the Eels several tries through
comical mistakes.The Warriors now finish the season in 10th place when a finals
spot was theirs for the taking just three weeks ago.Meanwhile, the Eels can take
heart from ending a disastrous season off the park in the right way.The home
side roared out of the blocks at Mount Smart Stadium, claiming the lead in the
third minute.An Eels knock-on in a dangerous position gave departing Warriors
five-eighth Thomas Leuluai the opportunity to slip a grubber into the corner,
with which Manu Vatuvei made no mistake.The side then extended their lead when
stalwart Simon Mannering got on the end of an Issac Luke inside ball to crash
over near the posts.The Warriors were coasting in the opening period against an
out-of-sorts Parramatta and dominating ball possession.Then the Warriors lapsed,
handling errors, a hallmark of the their unsuccessful finals tilt, ushered the
Eels back into the contest.Makeshift fullback Tuimoala Lolohea knocked on in
froont of his tryline in the 17th minute, letting Isaac De Gois in to score,
before the Eels hooker grabbed a farcical second.
Andrew Norwell Jersey. uke dropped the ball
while attempting to collect his own 20th minute scrum feed, handing De Gois four
points on a plate.Parramatta then took the lead in the 28th minute when Semi
Radradra eased into the corner, before Mannering claimed the lead back for the
Warriors after running into a defensive hole.Eels fullback Bevan French
capitalised on a Radradra gallop to reclaim the lead once again in a half that
ended 22-18.The second half started poorly for the Warriors, with French
crossing the line for two simple tries.The rookie fullback strolled through a
defensive hole from dummy half for his second, before grabbing his third when
centre David Fusitua spilled a potential intercept in the 46th minute.A late
disallowed try to rookie Nathaniel Roache, followed by a Michael Jennings try
for the Eels, rubbed salt in the wounds of frustrated Warriors fans.They will
not watch their side play finals football for a fifth consecutive year.
