I wonder when ESPN will start ranking this years’ USC team among the greatest.

The veterans have decided to stop shining Bush’s shoes for one whole week, just to show him who’s boss.

The University of Texas has just annouced a new campaign to promote good sportsmanship among fans, suitably titled “Texas Fans Make Us Proud.”

Definitely an interesting choice of words, as depending on the enunciation they are either:

Apparently ESPN Magazine did not want to be left out of the mix with the college football regional covers (SI’s were a week earlier). For their August 28, 2006 issue, ESPN Magazine will be sporting 3 regional covers, including Texas, Notre Dame, and USC.

Vince is an 82, and will be starting for my Titans over Billy Volek (84).

Man, not much love for Jamaal, all they way down at #9.
