wFriday, October 11, 2002 Cincinnati surreptitiously reactivates 50-year-old retired jersey number without notifying anyone, including retired player's family: Tina Rossi, Gene (Rossi's) daughter, told the Cincinnati Enquirer that, "The only thing my mother got from UC is money requests." posted by Jordan at 12:00:00 PM w There can't be too many others like me, who watch 13-plus hours of college football every Saturday. Can there? Joel Fish, a sports psychologist in Philadelphia, has no statistics on how many fans would watch all 13 games in a video frenzy on a college football Saturday, but in his study of sports addicts, he knows that some burn out and others experience marital and job problems from repeated overexposure to Brent Musburger, Bulldogs, Hurricanes, Ducks and drum majors. posted by Jordan at 11:34:00 AM w From the Fort-Worth Star Telegram: DID YOU KNOW? The Alabama-Auburn rivalry is so intense that the series once had a 41-year interruption because the schools clashed in 1907 over $11. Auburn wanted $3.50 in expense money for the 22 players who made the trip to Birmingham for the '07 game, and Alabama offered to pay $3 per player. It took pressure from the Alabama House of Representatives before the schools would renew their rivalry, which they did in 1948. That's not intensity, folks. That's stupidity. posted by Jordan at 11:18:00 AM w Texas Tech QB Kliff Kingsbury posits beside his cherished poster of Britney Spears with sore arm: Kliff, make room for the Heisman. --Love, Britney posted by Jordan at 11:13:00 AM w Andy Rooney's first noteworthy observation in 25 years draws criticism?

Had the University of Washington the wherewithal to recognize what a dirtbag you were in the first place, they wouldn't be suffering now. Neuheisel cries foul after NCAA sanctions One of his former assistants and a close friend testified before the NCAA committee that at Colorado, Neuweasel "wanted to avoid reviewing matters related to (NCAA) compliance" because, then, he could answer truthfully. posted by Jordan at 11:38:00 AM wTuesday, October 08, 2002 Rick Neuweasel's dubious dealings of the past have finally caught up with him.

'You could go down to the jail on Saturday, and if you asked politely, they'd let you go back and talk to the prisoners,' he said.
