Tharp headlines obscure all-star game


Taylor Tharp will be in action on Saturday in the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star game. Get your TiVo set to CSTV!

Nick Hill of Southern Illinois, Blake Mitchell of South Carolina, and Omar Haugabook from Troy are the other quarterbacks on the roster, so hopefully Tharp will see some signifcant playing time. The Nation squad is being coached by Buddy Ryan, which should be a fun experience for Tharp--especially if he likes getting yelled at and under-coached.

No word yet on whether or not Chadd Cripe will be live blogging the game from El Paso.
