I was already looking forward to getting to Gainesville tonight to host the Gator Nation Tailgate Show (starting at 10AM on the Star 99.5 Saturday) before I went to the NC State-SC game in Columbia last night. The Gamecocks won 34-0, and if you didn't see it you might think it was a smooth ride for Steve Spurrier's team. Instead, Tommy Beecher threw four interceptions and the game was 3-0 at the half. The Wolfpack is astoundingly awful. That first three quarters of football was excruciating to watch. I need to see some well played football just to cleanse my soul after that mess.
We've got our first upset thanks to Stanford's win over Oregon State. Miami cruised against Charleston Southern, as anticipated. The school made up a ridiculous attendance total of 48 thousand, also as anticipated. It appears they decided to count each person when they came in and when they left.
FSU doesn't play until next week, but they may have suffered a noteworthy loss Thursday. Junior college running back Tavares Pressley hurt his knee and was carted off their practice field. No definitive word on his status yet, but they were really hoping he could give them someone competent at the position to push Antone Smith. This sounds bad, although I hope for the kid's sake it isn't.
Tyrone Willingham is going to be fired after this season unless he finds a way to get Washington to a bowl, which is almost impossible given their schedule. He's undoubtedly aware of that, which is probably why he's decided to act like a big jerk toward the media and some UW boosters. Willingham has gone 11-25 at Washington after his dismissal at Notre Dame. He was 11-12 the last two years he was there. The clearly mediocre football coach (one ten win season ever, career record exactly 76-76-1) is hyper paranoid about people spying on his brilliant schemes. Meanwhile Pete Carroll will let anyone come to USC practice and he just keeps winning. Funny how that works.
Pacman Jones gets to play this year in Dallas. This is not a surprise. Proof he's "cleaned up his act" comes in the form of what he was doing when he got the call - eating a chicken sandwich at Hooters. No more strip clubs for him - just lots of double entendres. Perhaps Pacman was hanging with former Auburn running back Kenny Irons, who shares his enjoyment of the chain in this video. (Irons was cut during training camp despite being a second round pick last year - wonder why?) Hopefully Pacman's sandwich was better than the one that gave me food poisoning last year and caused me to miss the 04s press conference to announce their departure.
Campbell's Soup has decided the NFL "team mom" commercials have outlived their usefulness. I always thought it was weird that they wouldn't use the guys actual moms in the spots. Wouldn't it be strange to have people thinking someone you've barely met was your mom? Have a great weekend - if I don't see you in Gainesville, I'll catch you back here Monday.

Preseason hype finally ends tonight
College football commences tonight, not a moment too soon. I'll be at NC State - South Carolina in person, but there's other noteworthy stuff for you to check out tonight. Some quick thoughts on today's games...
NC State at South Carolina - Gamecocks should win this comfortably. It's amazing how banged up the Wolfpack are, and they weren't that good to begin with. Keep an eye on Tommy Beecher's debut at starting quarterback for SC. If it turns out he can actually play the position the way Spurrier needs his QBs to, they become a much more interesting team this year because their defense should be pretty good.
Vandy at Miami Ohio - SEC teams should not be playing MAC teams on the road. Chris Nickson is the Commodores QB, and he'll probably be running for his life behind a brand new line. Miami's D is pretty good for its level. I'll be curious to watch the tape on this one when I get home.
Charleston Southern at Miami - The Canes should be ashamed to be playing a game like this. I doubt they draw a legit 25 thousand to the game because of it being such a mismatch. I wish I could see it for myself, but it'll only be shown on the web. It gives us the first look at the Canes QB Jacory Harris, even though we supposedly will see Robert Marve next week as starter at the Swamp.
Wake Forest at Baylor - Jim Grobe's a terrific coach, and he'll have Wake ready to go. I think Art Briles is a good coach as well, but taking over Baylor is a thankless job. It'll take them a little time to find guys who can try to run Briles scheme, which is why this should be a Wake romp.
I'll try to put more up later if I have time, but it's gameday in Columbia today so I may have to wait until Friday.

ESPN needs to hire this guy
Last month I told you about Robert Kekaula's remarkable work as a sportscaster in Honolulu. Now you can watch him work his magic for yourself, as he tells you not only about Hawaii's ongoing starting quarterback questions but also details the new ha'a the Warriors will be performing prior to games this season. It will likely be the best thing Hawaii does all day Saturday. Meanwhile, Hawaii Advertiser columnist Ferd Lewis asks a question I was wondering myself: why exactly did Hawaii sign up for this?
Some teams are amazingly beaten up for this time of year. NC State gets South Carolina tomorrow night, and they've now lost their top tailback and PR/KR for that game. Couple that with losing their top WR, an expected starter at safety, their backup RB, and it's a bad situation. Now add in a redshirt freshman at QB, taking snaps from a center who converted from the defensive line in spring. Could be a really long year for Tom O'Brien. Oregon lost their starting QB for most of the year and had to boot a starting LB. The Ducks recent track record had been really mediocre before last year and I suspect it's about to be again.
One of the sports media world's true jerks has left his newspaper job. Jay Mariotti resigned from the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday. In true classy fashion, he then did an interview about it with their rival paper the Chicago Tribune. Mariotti is despised not only by those he works with, but by virtually everyone who has met him. Every time Mariotti's at the same big event as me, I've always been amused by him walking around in his leather jacket trying to give off a tough guy vibe while everyone ignores him. If you've had the misfortune to see him on ESPN's Around the Horn you know that Jay wants everyone fired, cut or traded. Whatever the knee jerk, easiest reaction to a story is, that's the one he'll take. By the way, Mariotti was under contract to the Sun-Times for three more years - think he'll bring that up the next time he shreds someone for holding out?
With the coverage of the Democratic Convention focusing largely on Obama and Clinton intrigue, you might have missed the critical protest being staged on the Denver streets. Someone wants Crystal Pepsi back really bad. Good luck with that - maybe they could focus on bring Ale-8 back to the states other than Kentucky instead.

Adios, Tres Daves!
The SEC has announced the second part of its TV contract, and ESPN bought everything. The deal is huge in many ways - three nights a week of national exposure for basketball as opposed to one, every conference football home game available somewhere and most importantly NO MORE DAVES! No matter what name J-P/Lincoln Financial/Raycom comes up with next, we will never again have to see critical games shot with 1988 quality equipment being called by Dave Neal, Dave Baker, Dave Archer after this season. The SEC's popularity will take a hit with Daughtry fans, but in life you have to make sacrifices sometimes. (My favorite part of that video is that all of the shots in it are from CBS and ESPN telecasts - even Raycom knows their picture quality is crap.)
Urban Meyer scared a lot of Gator fans yesterday with the unexpected word on Brandon Spikes being injured. If he was gone for a lengthy stretch, that would be devastating to UF's chances. He's not likely to be needed against Hawaii, but the Canes do have some running backs with talent. Sometimes UF's staff has let injured players get out there when they probably shouldn't. If it's even close, Spikes should sit and let Ryan Stamper get some more reps.
Mixed bag of news Monday for two former Gator running backs. The Jaguars signed Ciatrick Fason whie Green Bay dumped Deshawn Wynn. Both of these guys have surprised me. I really thought Fason had a chance to be a good NFL back, but it hasn't happened. My guess is he's cut by Jacksonville after this week's preseason game and then looked at again later, since all veteran players have their salary guarunteed if they're on the roster for week one. Wynn actually started some games for Green Bay when many doubted he could make a team at all. Unfortunately for Wynn, the same old questions about his level of desire surfaced in Green Bay. He could be an NFL player if he had Earnest Graham's intensity, but that's not going to happen.
The LPGA is ordering its players to learn English or else. Apparently they're concerned that sponsors are unhappy when top players can't speak with guests at Pro-Ams or conduct interviews with US media after a tournament. I don't think too many people aren't following women's golf intently because of the presence of foreign players. Lorena Ochoa and Karrie Webb speak English - how many people in the general public care about them, despite their excellence? The reality is that, aside from the Michelle Wie circus act, most people do not and will not care about women's golf. The LPGA's tried showcasing attractive players too, and while it's true Natalie Gulbis is nice to look at that hasn't led to people wanting to watch her golf. Some sports just don't sell well - this is one of them.
My friend Kirk Herbstreit came out with his annual Herbie awards. It's always a good read, but the part that jumped out at me was the restaurant list. Mark's U.S. Prime in Gainesville is Kirk's second favorite restaurant in the USA? I've eaten there and it's good, but it wouldn't have even been my first choice in town. I've got to coach Kirk up on some places to check out.
R.I.P. Kevin Duckworth. Hard to believe the former Portland big man's gone at 44.

Shouldn't Shannon be suspended a game for lying about Walter Odom?
Sorry for no post on Friday - turned out to be a busier day than I anticipated. Hope your weekend was a good one, although given Fay's continuing fallout I know it hasn't been for a lot of those who read this.
It is finally, mercifully, game week for almost everyone in college football. While I'm looking forward to covering both NC State at South Carolina and Hawaii at UF, there will be considerably more angles for me to work with on the pregame show for the Thursday game. Here's a pretty thorough look at the last minute position switches for Hawaii. Their rookie "starting" QB has arm issues, they're down to one healthy running back with any experience, and the game kicks off at 6:30 AM Hawaii time. This is not going to be pretty.
Miami's Randy Shannon lays down the law to his players, with seven of them missing that critical opening matchup Thursday night against Charleston Southern. All the public preening about high standards would impress me a little more if a single one of those kids was going to miss the Florida game. Canes starting QB Robert Marve is one of the suspended guys, meaning the opposing quarterback in each of UF's opening two games will be taking their first ever NCAA snap in the Swamp.
As soon as the word came down that Osi Umenyiora of the Giants was out for the season with a knee injury, any NFL fan had to wonder how long it would take for Michael Strahan to start floating rumors of a possible comeback. Answer: less than twelve hours. Giving big money to a 37 year old with a huge ego who's already launched his post-NFL media career and hasn't been training is not likely to work out well. If New York does this, they will wish they hadn't.
NFL teams are trimming rosters for the first time this training camp, and I wish I could say I was surprised the San Francisco 49ers cut Joe Cohen this weekend. I'd be lying, though, because I never expected him to have an NFL future while he was at UF. Cohen was a fourth rounder last year but spent the season on IR with a torn ACL. He was never a great college player, but teams are always looking for help at defensive tackle and Cohen had a good workout at the Combine. It wound up making him around a half million dollars (prior to taxes and agent fees). The big cuts are coming Friday and Saturday - 22 guys per team go then and there will undoubtedly be some familiar names in that group as well.
Can't wait for the new Ben Folds album Way to Normal to come out on September 30. You might think you've already gotten to hear about half of the album on the web somewhere. You're wrong, but the story behind what you may have heard is pretty cool.

Mark your calendars now
I'd mentioned previously that I would be returning to the Gainesville airwaves as a contributor on the Star 99.5 - here are the details. I will begin joining Shane Matthews and Newell Fox for a segment once a week on Wednesdays at 11:40 beginning next week. We'll focus on what's going on around the SEC. I'll also be hosting the two hour long Gator Nation Tailgate show live at the Emerson Alumni Hall beginning three hours before most UF home games. I won't be able to make Ole Miss, and potentially not LSU, but should be at the other five. Hopefully you'll be able to tune in and/or come by and say hi.
Two USA Today reporters doing a pseudo-blog on the paper's website decided to list "sleeper" Heisman candidates at the quarterback spot. Number three was Jimmy Clausen, because Notre Dame's quarterback is supposedly always a Heisman candidate. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, boys, but it's 2008. Do you know how many Heisman winners Notre Dame has since 1964? ONE! Tim Brown won it 21 years ago. The last time Notre Dame won a bowl was after the 1993 season. Will there ever come a day that the national press catches on to the fact the Fighting Irish program is not what it once was, and it never will be again either? Jimmy Clausen might be a Heisman candidate someday, but there's not a chance in hell he will be this year.
One of the great mysteries in broadcasting is how a great franchise like the New York Yankees can have such a lousy radio presentation of their games. The Suzyn Waldman "Roger Clemens is in George Steinbrenner's box!" freakout last year was bad, but at least she knew who he was. The clip from WFAN's Boomer and Carton morning show at this link illustrates that's a little much to ask of John Sterling, the most pompous play by play voice in the world.
If I see one more report on polling about the presidential election, I'm going to lose my mind. "Obama's up five, no wait McCain's up five, no actually they're tied." Is there some reason any of us should care about polling taken before either candidate picks a VP or speaks at their conventions? Who knows - maybe Barack Obama will ditch his typical Stevie Wonder post speech music in Denver for a little Toby Keith now that the singer's endorsed him. I'm sure a poll on the endorsement's undoubtedly sweeping impact is being taken as you read this.

We're all just in it for the free chicken fingers
It's frustrating being a sports radio guy sometimes. I love my job, but I hate some of the stereotypes I have to overcome because of others in my line of work. The perception from lots of people is that sports radio hosts are screaming lunatics alternating between trying to get someone fired and kissing up to jocks. Other stereotypical sports radio sins include giving ourselves cheesy nicknames (there's actually a guy in this state who calls himself "The Bad Boy", which is just awful), using information from newspapers without ever crediting them for their reporting, and never covering anything unless there's a free meal involved. Most damning of all is the perception we just kind of make things up as we go along without a lot of thought involved.
I mention this today because of last week's AP poll. This year, I was offered the opportunity to be the North Florida voting represenative in the poll, which is something I've always wanted to do. Unfortunately, since I no longer work in North Florida on a daily basis, I wasn't eligible to accept the invitation under poll rules. Very few radio guys get this shot. Kirk Herbstreit is officially on the ballot as a radio guy from Ohio, but that's obviously not why he has a ballot. Besides Kirk, there are two other radio people who get to vote this year. So naturally, one of them had to turn into Toonces the Driving Cat the second he got behind the wheel. Taylor Zarzour, sports director for WPTF radio in Raleigh, thought it would be a good idea to leave Auburn and Tennessee out of his top 25 while bragging on his bio about what a big Bama fan he is and ranking them 23rd. FSU and Notre Dame are on his ballot too. It gets even more embarassing - when asked why he had voted so ridiculously considering the poll rules say not to be a homer, he took down the pro-Bama stuff off his webpage as an attempt at a coverup. Great - just great. Thanks for the credibility boost for our medium, Taylor.
Maybe Zarzour was getting polling advice from suspended Michigan running back Kevin Grady. A report released last week indicates that Grady was so hammered when caught for DUI earlier this year that when asked if Mickey Mouse was a cat or a dog, he actually answered "dog". Drunk driving is in no way amusing, but other details in that report are.
Speaking of running backs, FSU finally got their touted juco Tavares Pressley cleared to play. They need him to live up to the hype badly, bcause Antone Smith has been a huge disappointment so far in his career and Preston Parker should be a wide receiver once his suspension is done.
Big injury for the Bucs, as guard Davin Joseph breaks his foot. Out a minimum of a month, but I would guess week six of the season is about as soon as you'd see him. This was going to be the first year in a while the Bucs didn't have to start a rookie on the offensive line. Now their third round pick Jeremey Zuttah will probably have to be out there.
