This should make the Big Game more fun: http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/111609aad.html

STANFORD, Calif. - Tiger Woods, winner of 14 major golf championships and the top-ranked player in the world, will serve as Stanford's honorary captain for Saturday's Big Game against California, head coach Jim Harbaugh announced today.

"It will be an honor for Stanford football to share our sideline with the greatest competitor of our generation," said Harbaugh.

Woods, who attended Stanford from 1994-96, will meet with the team prior to the game and will also take part in the pregame coin toss. In addition, Woods will be honored on the field at halftime at which time he will be presented with a plaque signifying his induction into the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame.

So, with all the smoke in the air around RichRod getting a third year in Ann Arbor, perhaps some fire is added because as of July 24th, Michigan football had no records of how much practice time was done last year in their own internal audit.

Put it this way, if Michigan tells the NCAA, "Uh, we don't actually have any proof of how much our football team practiced next year, Rodriguez is getting ridden out on a pike just ahead of the 10 scholarships taken from EMU in retaliation.

I know this was something that was caught and hopefully corrected along time before the Free Press story came out. If so hopefully there is still paperwork that shows the number of players worked. Even paperwork from summer conditioning would be huge.

I'd be shocked if Weis is back next season.

My personal preference (assuming that Stoops hasn't burned out at OU) is Kelly, but there are a lot of Gruden fans out there too.

About 98% of the buzz involves those two guys, so watch ND do something weird. Who's the HC at Moeller these days? :cool:

That would explain if they were failing to overturn calls that should be overturned, but it doesn't explain them making **** up out of nothing and overturning calls on the field on a whim rather than the required standard of "indisputable video evidence".

I think it is fortunate that a ref didn't pick up the ball that had been blown dead in the ND game, then the replay official would have had to declare the refs had the ball, first and ten at the 29.

Would they go towards one of the goal lines or play across the field against the stick holders and ball boys?

I don't care if they said it was a fumble, incomplete pass or a magic trick...you can't give the ball to the other team once the play has been ruled dead. The refs are taught to keep plays live and have replay reverse if need be...this is a case of replay taking a dead play and making it live...that it helped make sure one of their conference teams stayed in the BCS hunt was merely coincidental.

Or sneak a flask in and drink the whiskey, no need for mixers. Flasks fit very nicely inside cowboy boots, and they never suspect it to be hidden in a boot.

KKK planning rally in Miss

This is by far the funniest most counter productive thing I have read in a very long time.

The Ku Klux Klan will be among the masses descending on Oxford this Saturday when the Tigers play the Rebels.

Shane Tate, the North Mississippi great titan for the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, confirmed via e-mail the KKK will rally on Ole Miss’ campus in protest of the Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones’ decision to remove “From Dixie with Love” from the Ole Miss band’s song selection.

“From Dixie with Love” is one of Ole Miss’ traditional songs on game day, and the student section has chanted “the South will rise again” during the song for years, said Brian Ferguson, alumni chairman of the Colonel Reb foundation.

The controversy began last month when the Ole Miss Associated Student Body passed a resolution in favor of discontinuing chanting “the South will rise again” to replace it with “to hell with LSU.” The resolution was never fully enacted because it was not signed by the proper officials after passing the senate, said Peyton Beard, Ole Miss Associated Student Body director of athletics.

The student section largely ignored the resolution and other attempts to stop the chant, continuing the chant during “From Dixie with Love,” said Ole Miss English junior Dean Julius.

After a written warning by the Ole Miss chancellor, the student section’s continued chanting resulted in Jones banning “From Dixie with Love” last week, said Barbara Lago, Ole Miss director of media and public relations.

“We cannot even appear to support those outside our community who advocate a revival of segregation,” Jones said in a written address to the Ole Miss student body. “Consequently, I have asked the band not to play ‘From Dixie with Love’ at upcoming athletics events. The absence of this song will send a clear message that the university is neither facilitating nor indirectly condoning the chant.”

This decision to ban the song has drawn the attention of the KKK, which plans to protest the ban in full robes Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m, Tate said.

“We are coming to Ole Miss to say enough is enough on attacking our Christian, southern heritage and culture, and it’s time for every person to have a right to freedom of speech,” Tate said.

Lago confirmed Ole Miss has been contacted by the KKK and said the group has the right to voice its opinions as long as it doesn’t interfere with university activity or the personal rights of others.

“We aren’t coming there to cause problems or cause trouble,” Tate said. “Trouble has already been caused by a handful at Ole Miss, including the black student body president, who wants to shape Ole Miss into yet another liberal sodomite college.”

Julius said he continued the chant despite the resolution because he felt he was carrying on a tradition.

Christopher Cox, a black student at Ole Miss, said he agrees with the chancellor that the chant is offensive, but he doesn’t think the students chanting it are racist.

“I don’t see it necessarily as racist,” Cox said. “There is a disconnect between the people who are chanting it and the people who are hearing it and taking it into a different context. The students who do want the chant feel its tradition, while others who want it removed feel the chant is a support for a past we have moved far from.”

Wow. The bedspread crowd really is desperate. (I know...shocker!)

"The South Will Rise Again" is just good-natured football rabble-rousing.

Now, if the Ole Miss marching band followed that cheer with a cover of the Stones' "Brown Sugar," I'd get suspicious. :p

I think if the university wants to get rid of the chant they should just announce that they don't care who does it as long the chanters realize the only support they have is coming from the KKK. I think that would stop the majority of students by itself.
