With a name like Ta'amu, he ought to go to Texas A'And M University.

The fact that he was only in his mid-20s when he did this makes it even more amazing.

That's the thing people often overlook about the war. These were very young people in very important roles. When historian Stephen Ambrose consulted on "Saving Private Ryan," he told Tom Hanks he was far too old to be an Army captain. A lot of TV and movie portrayals of the war have featured actors much older than those who actually fought in the situations being portrayed.

Older Tiger fans will remember John Ferguson as the play-by-play radio voice before Jim Hawthorne. This World War II history blog has a story about what he did during the war.

One of the biggest surprises was why Clemson did not show up just a few hours a way from the game. Anyone know why???

---

Because they thought LSU was going to show up. Fooled 'em.

he mentioned the other day that Spurrier is no different than JoePa and he wouldnt be surprised if Penn State type allegations has happened under the HBC's watch.

---

He didn't say anything remotely close to that.

In discussing Spurrier's refusal to take questions at two consecutive press conferences, and last year's situation where he refused to talk to reporters with Morris in the room, Morris said Spurrier was acting like he was bigger than the university, and that's the kind of behavior that leads to situations like Penn State (presumably, because nobody could dispute Paterno). No way did he even come close to suggesting that the Penn State allegations had happened under Spurrier's watch.

ohnny Jones, one of the candidates for the job, was not responsible in his role as LSU assistant coach under Dale Brown, for the Lester Earl saga and ultimate sanctions. For that matter, neither was Coach Brown, as it is now well-known that Lester admitted to lying to the NCAA to get his transfer to a Roy Williams-run Kansas program.

Was anyone responsible for getting a local doctor to pay Earl $5,000? Or did he just do that on his own?

I'm pretty sure the NCAA rules state that in order to have a Championship game, you must have at least 12 teams divided into two divisions.

You are absolutely correct.

the MAC was granted an exemption to the round robin rule because of unbalanced divisions. They have 13 teams. The SEC should get the same if needed.

Oh. Never mind.
