Bush #2, Leinart #10. What has happened to USC? Where there is smoke, there is fire. The NCAA, Pac 10 and USC are investigating the Leinart/Jarrett living situation with Bob Leinart footing 2/3rds of the $3800 plus rent as Matt and Dwayne split $1300. The cost of living in LA is incredible. Leinart's fall to Arizona might prove to be a blessing for him. Nice weather, lots of weapons and a straight shot to Vegas.Bush's parents seem to have gotten him into some hot water. He could have been the #1 pick if he had agreed to an 8% increase over Alex Smith's deal the year before. Now New Orleans will have the best backfield tandem in football. Character issues plagued Justice and Lendale.
How involved is Pete Carroll in the alleged violations?
How far the once mighty Trojans have fallen.
Miami, Florida State and Ohio State all put quality defensive players into the league again.
Texans go D with Freak Mario and Demeco. I like New England's picks of Lawrence Maroney and Chad Jackson.
PJ had a big day as he was drafted by the Ravens in the 4th round.
Brodie to the Chiefs. Devin to the Dolphins and Predator to the Panthers.
Good SEC draft with Bama also drafting Anderson, Peprah, Harper, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina all had several prospects go as well.
T?
Braves almost get swepted. Maybe Sunday was a breakout game.
Talladega rained out. Bummer. I hate Monday races but I would love to call in sick just to watch.

I hate the race was moved to Monday. I was ready to watch it yesterday...I went by the track Saturday while visiting Shawn at the Lake. That place is off the chain. RVs and tents as far as the eye could see outside the stadium. No telling how many people were there...and that doesn`t count the people inside the stadium and in the infield. Got a call from the Doctor Saturday night. He and a couple of his buddies got into the infield RV lot to stay the weekend. They bought a $600 RV that looks like a bread truck off ebay to sleep in. Don`t expect to hear from Dr. today....I`m pretty sure he stayed through the weather to get wasted on a Monday. He`s got his 8 flag wavin ready for Jr. victory.
Well, looks like old Stanley made this mistake we thought he did.....7th round is about as bad as it gets.
I wish him luck, but he should have known better.
Gonna be in the great state of AL this weekend.
Going to my boy Urinal Cake's wedding. I don't remember if it's in Montgomery or B-ham.
If it's in MonkeyTown I'll swing by AU and say hey to you boys.
Donny's gonna be coming over as well, so look out.........Cinco de Mayo on Friday this year..
A few questions about the race weekend. Seeing as you acquired a disease, I was wondering about some other things one might leave a race with......
1)Do you still have all of your teeth?
2)Did the back of your head grow an exponential amount of hair in the days you were there?
3)Did you recently rid yourself of the clap and/or crabs?
4)Did you learn any new slang terms such as "which-ye-did-ye" or "je-eat-chyet"?
Just some funny questions since you seem a little worn out and weary of the experience. Sounds like a good time though......I think I may have had one too many "Sunday Beers" on the golf course yesterday myself.
I seriously hope you wore some flops or shower shoes in that public shower......athlete's foot can be a real bitch.
Not to mention the possibility of contracting hook-worms or flesheating bacteria.
Is that kind of like "Shit's Ass"?
I don't remember that guy's name from Anniston, but I remember meeting him and Shakes saying his nickname was Shitsass.....HAAA
just walked out of my last day at LeCraw
just got home is the race still on?
Nice, shower shoes are a must in any situation......
There are times I think about wearing them at home, you know, when the room mate's girlfriend hasn't cleaned the shower in a while.
Jimmy Johnson just won
most people I have ever seen at a Monday race
Did anyone else other than me pick Jimmy Johnson to win?
DR--Did yall sleep in the "Breadtruck?"
Did you see any of your old high school friends out there?
Awwww Shit`s ass!!!!!
Dr.---You ready for Memphis in May? Backstage passes?
riding dirty
That is pretty cool. Did he say Kenney was a good guy, or a "thug" as Bama on Line posters would have you believe?
So KI likes the white meat....who can blame him?
Brian Kilmead just dominated the leader of the "New Black Panthers" on Fox News. They were discussing the Duke Rape case and the Panther was calling it a racist issue and Kilmead just blew him up.....awesome.
Even the father of the stripper said the Panthers were an "uninvited racist organization".
I saw that same comparison DR. Guess it's true since they have such highly ranked recruiting classes......or maybe those classes are over-rated because it's the Great Michigan Woverines.
Drafting and recruiting predictions and analysis go hand in hand.....mostly a crap-shoot.
I think if the NCAA does a thorough investigation USC will be in for some trouble.....but don't expect that to happen.....don't want the "Golden Team" to have a blemish now do we?
Kind of explains how they came back to national power so fast...what was it....2 years after Carroll was there they won a title? Not sure but it sure smells Fishy
I hope USC gets nailed to the cross. I did think that their team had one of the best offenses EVER......but like BAMA, they had to cheat to get there.
Dr.--Where did you run into Roman?
Nation- Wish I was gonna be in town this weekend. I will be up at the Doctor`s playhouse in Memphis.
Kingdom- How is the job search going?
I don't know if I'm coming to the wedding or not. Donny says he may have to work and I don't want to go if he's not coming.
Nation- I hear ya man. I wouldn`t want to make the trip solo either. The presence of Donnie Wendling always brightens up any occasion....if he isn`t around...i grant you it will be less fun.
Be checkin the mail at the office in the next few days. I`m gonna send some info for real estate down here on the Plains.
OK I'll keep an eye out.
daddy- did you gt bit by a spider a while back that left a scar? I have a round sore on my shin that started out as just an itchy spot but now it's kind of swolen and red. About the size of a nickel. Itches and kind of sore. I think I got bit playing golf the other day and I was wondering what you did to get rid of the bite.
I really don't even know if it's a spider bite but it looks scary as hell and I'm kind of nervous.
"Baxter" is another great name. That way you can always blame him when the wheel of cheese is all gone.
Nation- I second Dr.`s theory....Prolly a STD
If I got an STD on my lower shin then TwoBits has been rubbing up and down my leg in my sleep!!!
Good thing my roommate is in the fake leg and arm business, just in case my leg falls off.
DR, good luck with the Herp Simplex 1, or is it 2 that is fever blisters? I can't remember.
Daddy - if it was a boy I would say go with Bob. Coolest dog I ever met was named Bob.
Since it's a girl you have some diffenent options....I like "Dixie", that was a good one, "Nikki"(for Shakes), "Dobie" is good, "Paris", "Brianna", shit I can only think of porn stars.
Doof-Doof, Puffy, Lumpy, Mark(cause it would be funny since she's a girl), I think the name "CADDY" is what you should go with....or just Bitch.
"Caddy" for sure....definitely Caddy
You could also name him
"COBB" after Auburn`s greatest QB of all-time.
Go with Caddy due to C-O-B-B Cobb sux dix
Tubbs
Bo
Sullivan
Jackson
Beasley
Stanley aka idiot
or KI
Not Bo. There is only one, and he just got a hair cut....looks like a brick house.
I think Marqueesha or Shalonda would be sooo funny.
"Come here Marqueesha, here girl.......git outa that pile of cat shit Shalonda you bitch....I thought I told you not to piss in da house!!"
do it daddy, go tribal
Shenanigans!!!! That's pretty funny.
Something obscure is a must. Too many "fluffy's" out there.
I like Mrs. Adams or Fiddlesticks too.....
You could also just go with "Damnit". You know..."Come here Damnit!!! Don't pee on the floor Damnit!!"
Go to Auburn, be forever changed

POST-STANDARD COLUMNIST
I have descended into college football's Grand Canyon. I have stood in its Alps. I have gazed at its ocean sunset. I have done all of these things and I've been changed forever.
I knew, of course, that we were different up here. I understood that autumn Saturdays in our burg have never been given over to any kind of serious sporting fervor. I've accepted for a good, long while that a fair amount of our citizens regularly choose to pick apples or seal driveways rather than head to the Carrier Dome to watch the Syracuse University Orangemen at play.
But, Lord have mercy on our college football souls, I've come to realize we're not merely quirky in these parts. And we're not just overly particular. No, having attended a game in Auburn, Ala. - which is like going to Mass in Rome - I'm convinced that, by comparison, we're as dead as the flying wedge.
"Let me tell you something," said Paul Pasqualoni, the SU coach who can recognize bedlam when he is forced to shout above it. "Being in that stadium with all those people - the noise level, the atmosphere - was exciting. It was a lot of fun. To me, it was just spectacular being there."
He was speaking of Jordan-Hare Stadium, where four days earlier his SU club had lost to the Auburn Tigers 37-34 in an environment that was equal parts Woodstock, Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve and Madonna's last wedding. And the Crimson Tide boys, those rascals from the other side of the state, weren't even in town, to say nothing of the Bulldogs, Gators or Razorbacks.
Nah, it was just the Orangemen, a non-league bunch from somewhere up north ... with a losing record yet. But it didn't matter. This, because the cherished Tigers were on the other side, and that was enough for those Alabama locals to respond the way the French did when Patton's army showed up in Paris.
"I missed my wife's birthday so I could cheer on my beloved alma mater against Syracuse," Brent Miller wrote in an e-mail addressed to me following the three-overtime affair. "But you know what ? I would have been there if our opponent had been the state of New York's worst high school team."
"Country, God and college football are usually our top three passions," e-mailed another Auburn guy, Steve Fleming. "But not always in that order."
"I grew up in Denver in a family with season tickets to the Broncos games," e-mailed yet another believer, Rick Pavek. "I call Auburn home now and, take my word for this, Broncomania is nothing like Tigermania."
The point is, with the Orangemen returning to the gray Dome that is so often lifeless to play Big East Conference foe Pittsburgh on Saturday, it's clear that somebody's not getting it. Either the Auburn faithful - and people like them in Knoxville and South Bend and Lincoln and Gainesville and Columbus and Austin and elsewhere - are far too crazed or we're way too cool.
Listen, down there in eastern Alabama they pass out full-color, high-gloss, 22-by-17-inch, two-sided, fold-out pamphlets titled, "The 2002 Guide To Game Day At Auburn University." And on Page 2 of each can be found the announcement that nobody is allowed to begin tailgating until 4 p.m. (the day before the game).
"You can't be anything but envious," said Jake Crouthamel, the Syracuse athletic director who was a wide-eyed witness to all of the SU-Auburn doings. "You can't be anything but envious when you have that kind of support. I mean, there were 84,000 people in the seats. And the RVs and house trailers were lined up five miles outside of town. When you talk about the epitome of what the college football experience is all about ... that's it. Auburn is the epitome. You couldn't possibly be unaware of the spectacle, even if you were trying to be unaware."
The orange-clad zealots, who are in their seats fully 30 minutes prior to kickoff, thunder through choreographed cheers. The band, which is saluted upon its arrival by the big house with a standing ovation, blares. The PA system, which continuously blasts the sounds of a growling tiger, pipes in songs by the Dixie Chicks and interviews with the Auburn coaches.
Before the game, there is the great Tiger Walk during which the Auburn players march along Donahue Street through thousands of people, some of whom weep, and into the stadium. After the game, there is the mass papering of famous Toomer's Corner downtown. And between all of that, a golden eagle circles the place before landing on the field to a deafening roar.
And us? Um, let's see. We can't fill 49,000 seats. We debate, ad nauseam, standing-vs.-sitting in the Dome. We give our tickets to takers at the door who had to be schooled in the art of courtliness. We regularly vacate the joint long before the final gun. We allow, in a good-idea-gone-bad, a bunch of vulgar louts planted in a thing called "The O-Zone" to chant expressions you'd never say in front of Mom at the dinner table.
In other words to compare our college football experience to that of Auburn (and a lot of other places) is to compare a skillet of beans to a plate of Chilean sea bass. And while that might sound harsh, it doesn't make the words any less true.
Believe me on this. Please. I have descended into college football's Grand Canyon. I have stood in its Alps. I have gazed at its ocean sunset. I have attended a game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. And I've been changed forever.
Just go with your heart daddy, go with your heart!
Two syllables is probably right. You could use "Tyree" or "Tronna".
Misti, Brandi, Britney(like as in Spears), Carli, MArti, Boochie.
great article........the guy I interviewed with this morning was a maryland grad who was there for the AU-UGA 2002 when Michael Johnson caught the pass in the end zone in front of us to win.........awful..............I like shenanigans or boochie
Alright boys. It's friday and I hope nobody is going to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I am boycotting my favorite Mexican watering hole and I hope you are too.
Taking the boat out tomorrow though. hope it doesn't rain me out!!
