First, C.J. Leak joins the Gator’s staff as a graduate assistant and now the pickle-boy himself, Casey Clausen, has joined the staff of the Mississppi State Bulldogs as a graduate assistant. Perhaps Fulmer will be the Bill Walsh of the college ranks someday.
We guess the strip joints and “massage” parlors didn’t really get going until after 11pm, which was making it difficult for Gary Barnett and company to give recruits the Colorado recruiting experience. Never fear, the curfew has been moved back to the witching hour of midnight.

Super Genius Gary Barnett has his eyes out for some good recruits
In an article that makes Heisman Pundit seem like an SEC homer, Steven Travers of the American Report declares that the 2004 Trojans had the most perfect season in college football history. Further, as a clear master of understatement, he declares that USC is the best program in college football history. I’m sure there are some Sooners, Golden Domers, Crimson Tides and Wolverines who might dispute that hyperbole. I’m guessing Mr. Travers didn’t realize that LSU shared the championship with USC in 04 and that Auburn was undefeated in 05 (with an amazing draft day showing as well). Once again, we can only dream about a playoff which would have shown us which team really was the best these last two years… without that, arguing that they were the greatest all time is a bit of a stretch.
Now businesses will let you preorder your entire team’s season on DVD. 1000 Movies beats us to the skepticism here.
Alyssa Milano may be their real dowfall–”please, Matt, just stay a few more hours on game night and hold me. Do you want a line to keep you perky?”–but Boi From Troy lays out his short list of reasons why the Trojans might slip off the tip of the national championship jimmy this year.
One quibble: why wait until the final point to mention that you’re going to have two and at times even three people calling the offensive plays this year? As Gator fans, we got to watch the three-headed Zaunbrecher/Fedora/Zook beast flub around the Swamp for a couple of years, and it taught us one thing: put three coaches under a spotlight, ask them to call a play, and two out of three times they will decide on a bubble screen. This alone should send Trojan fans reaching for their Xanax and Ketel One.

Two headed beasts do not have a happy track record in leadership positions.
Straight Bangin’ nemesis and internet god Joe Fetrow replies to Joey here, reiterating his shocking claim that Michigan fans-all of ‘em-are sodomites. Note our proud sissy boy response at bottom.

We worked with this guy once who told us that Sports Illustrated was what newbies read before they switched to the choice for the hardcore, The Sporting News. (Never mind that the guy had a meth problem and lived with his mom; dude just flat knew his sports. He once rattled off the starting lineup of the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals for us, and even if he was wrong, it’s the audacity that awed us.)
In the bizarro world of the internet, the opposite is true, as exemplified by John Walter’s continued good work on conference’s out-of-conference scheduling. (Yes, it’s all about cash.) While the print version may be everything it’s alleged to be (superficial, overly glossy, and prone toward milking the personal angle till it bleeds,) CNNSI online has been nothing but outstanding: Stewart Mandel on college ball, Dr. Z on pro, Mike Fish, and fellow Gator and all around nice guy Jacob Luft on baseball. If they just had more pointless photos of hot ass…

One thing mainstream sites can’t give you? Pics of Pam Grier whenever they want to.
Overall, you get way more substance than the Sporting News’ half-assed site offers and without Matt Hayes’ Shecky Green impression and abuse of readers. That alone makes it a superior MSM product.
Just for kicks: the un-college related horror show of NFL players’ offseason workouts, where we learned that just in case you didn’t guess it, Donovan Darius could kick your ass with his pinkie toe.
