We would like to congratulate FSU safety Myron Rolle on his accomplishment of being named a 2008 Rhodes Scholar. Really an excellent achievement.

And, that means that the Noles will only need to have about 986 more Rhodes Scholars in the next few years to equal the number of players arrested while Bobby Bowden has been the coach. Almost there!

We don’t much follow hockey, but we did find it quite amusing when our buddy sent us the following link: http://www.bamahockey.net/home.asp.

Yep, University of Alabama hockey. But here’s what was the most interesting part to us… apparently they came up with the nickname in honor of Mike Shula’s red zone offense.

That’s right: The Alabama Frozen Tide!

Nice tribute, we think.

We thought Tyler Hansbrough’s suit choice was the worst decision last night. Seriously, even Bob Huggins would be too classy to break out the black pinstripe suit with an Under Armor black t-shirt. But not Tyler.

He held the honor of biggest mistake of the night until about 2:15 am eastern time, when the final seconds ticked away in the Arizona-UAB game. The Wildcats were down 3 points with 25 seconds left and were at the line. Wildcat player makes the first free throw, misses the second. A freshman for the Cats grabs the rebound and puts it back in - tie game! Then that same freshman fouls on purpose as soon as the ball is inbounded. Yes, he had just tied the score. So, UAB walks to the other end and proceeds to miss the free throw. After an Arizona timeout with about 15 seconds left, the Cats have the final shot to win the game. Arizona fires a jumper with about 5 seconds left - no good.

UAB rebounds, and just as the Blazer is about to heave a 60-footer, he is grabbed from behind by another Wildcat freshman, Jamelle Horne. Intentional foul with 0.8 seconds left in a tie game. Of course, UAB makes a free throw and wins. Nice.

Just in case it sounds like we made up the fact that Arizona committed fouls on purpose twice in the final 25 seconds of a tie game, here’s the video…

After watching Urban Meyer call two timeouts in the closing minutes of a 49-10 win over Georgia on Saturday and watching Meyer leave Tim Tebow in late into the game in a 63-5 win over Kentucky, we have now figured out why Ron Zook is not still the head coach at Florida.

Clearly, he’s not a big enough asshole.

Which one of these is not like the other… Spurrier, Zook, Meyer?

But the University of Tennessee has finally realized that you are supposed to dispose of your pumpkin immediately after Halloween.

Thank goodness that the Cincinnati Bearcats play in the Big East and not the Pac-10. Otherwise, we assume that the Pac-10 refs would have had “no choice” but to flag Bearcat wideout Mardy Gilyard for a personal foul for taking his helmet off on this play.

We recently came across this article about Texas Tech coach Mike Leach potentially using as his kicker this week a guy who won a halftime contest at a game earlier in the season. Apparently, Matt Williams made a 30-yard kick to win a contest a few weeks back and Leach decided he might be their best option to put one through the uprights.

Our inside source managed to get a word with Coach Leach and ask him how he was able to get Williams to agree to even try-out for the team. Leach’s answer was quite in depth:

“Well, uh, we went somewhere causal to begin with because you don’t want something real formal in the beginning. So, for some place casual, I chose Cagle’s’s Steakhouse, which is very casual. The other thing that’s great about it is there’s very little salad there at Cagle’s, so the my potential place kicker was forced to eat in front of me, which is something that I hear kickers hate. But if you can make them do it, then the earlier the better - the more they’ll conversate and show their true self and make extra points. I’m a big movie guy - I was hoping to do it the way I did when I was Matt’s age, going to the Stars and Stripes drive-in theater because that’s what they had in Cody, Wyoming. But no drive-ins here that I could find. Otherwise, the movie theater was pretty good, but I wanted to end it somewhere at some cool coffee shop kind of place where there’s bizarre-looking characters going in and out, so in case the conversation wasn’t going well I could reference some of the different characters you see coming and going from the place. And then since it was a huge night and we were really having a good time, we tried to trade, uh, computer schemes and emails and all that mischief people are up to nowadays, but those are things which I know nothing about.”

We are delighted to see that Coach Leach followed his own advice. And we really hope this new kicker works out for the Red Raiders. Confused? Check the video below…

Interactive Tuesday has been revived!  We thought it was dead after ESPN decided to place Rece Davis and company on the scene a few weeks back.  But Todd Harris and Ray Bentley were back this Tuesday for the awesome match-up between Ohio and Temple.

We’re starting with the first quick highlight, as apparently Temple was doing things a little differently.  We’re not sure if this strategy will work, but the Temple crowd was trying a “pink out” in an effort to wipeout breast cancer awareness.  Hang on, what?

Yes, thank you for that moment Todd Harris.  Putting an end to breast cancer awareness is a worthy cause!
