Authorities have arrested a South Carolina woman who stabbed her roommate because he wouldn't quit listening to the Eagles and watching television with his brother. I think anyone who has ever had a roommate can relate to this story, and maybe not in a healthy way.
1. Lane Kiffin
Why did I always have the sneaking suspicion that Kiffin was another Mike Shula or David Shula or [sorry to bring up the name, Washington and UCLA fans] Rick Neuheisel.
As in: the "hot coach" who's more sizzle than steak.
Isn't USC supposed to roll out NFL bodies up and down the field? Isn't Marqise Lee one of the top talents in the land?
54 yards passing?
Longest pass play: 8 yards?
Give credit to the Washington State defense, but ... wow ...
1. Football Championship Subdivision
It used to be called Division I-AA, but now that we're in a world in which everyone is above average, they had to call it something else. And, since they don't play in bowls, I guess "championship" was available. But what it really means is you get marching bands and rah-rah college-y stuff without all those big-time headaches and for half the cost.
In Week 1, it also meant ... cashing the guarantee check and stealing a victory:
Animal control officers in South Carolina were alerted to the sound of a small dog yelping in a ravine behind a Home Depot. The officer arrived at the scene and found a shih tzu inside a tangle of brambles. The officer discovered that the dog could probably have walked away and found shelter from the punishing heat and lack of water in the ravine... but she had been protecting and nursing a tiny kitten, which she refused to leave.
As a child, I was always taught that the three-strike rule in baseball also applies to getting in trouble. In fact, the idea of getting in trouble three times at the same school or with the same team normally leads to a parting of the parties. In the case of the Jacksonville Jaguars and wide receiver Justin Blackmon, whether this third strike leads to a parting of ways is still in the air.
If you're a fan of the supernatural romance book Beautiful Creatures, written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, you already know that a major movie based on the novel is set to hit the big screen next month. The buzz surrounding the film is high, with some even saying that Beautiful Creatures could well become the next Twilight.
I asked G_Money who he was keeping an eye on for Ms 2nd-round pick (62nd overall). Don't miss his answer. Exec sum:
I am sure there are several couples who are not in the media who are and will stay loyal to their spouse, and the media always does the best with bringing out the worst, but you start to wonder, is anyone still loyal these days?
