Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Talking points: drunk in the drive-thru edition

  • Yikes. Details on the Vince Faison thing:
    • When police found him, he was in his truck,
    • in the McDonald's drive-thru,
    • at around 3:45 a.m.,
    • engine in gear,
    • foot on the brake, and
    • passed out with a BAC of .22.

    It took police raising and dropping his hand three times to wake him up. State penalty? Forty-eight hours in a 6x9, a $350 fine and court costs, and loss of license for one year. Fulmer's penalty? Two games. Yes, brothers in the blogosphere, he's a walk on, but he's a 27-year-old former pro baseball player, Kelly Washington-ish walk-on, so The Papa's punishment isn't as timid as it might seem.

    Still, sheesh.

  • Tennessee's announced that they're going to retire Ernie Grunfeld's number during halftime of the Kentucky game on March 2. Mike Hamilton knows what he's doing.
  • Big game tonight against the Abomination. More on that in the lunch-time-ish post.
  • Official nominees for the 2007 College Football Blogger Awards will be announced beginning at around 10:00 EST this morning at Every Day Should Be Saturday. Voting opens tomorrow.

Kelley Washington-ish??
Kick him off the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harsh, I know, but we don't need another 2005.  And the "Curse of Vince Faison" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Go Vols!

Another?
So should we start calling Faison "Back to the Future"?  "Future: Part II"?  "The Future: Again, Thus Making the Previous Future the Past"? "Future Special Teams Player for the 2008 Super Bowl Losers"?

The best
"The Future: Again, Thus Making the Previous Future the Past"

Can you put that on the back of a jersey?

Go Vols!

Don't do it yet!
You saw how a trademark can backfire on you!

That is a definite curse.

Go Vols!

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
