ESPN.com - NCF - Hurricanes recruit admits violating probation: "FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- University of Miami football recruit Willie Williams admitted violating probation Tuesday on a burglary conviction, but the university has told attorneys that the standout linebacker still might be admitted."
In case some of you guys are still wondering what a blog is, I thought I'd post this introductory tour I found.
Blogger: Tour - Get Started With Blogger
Well, it was Heather doing most of the work, but you get the idea.
That's all of the information I have. Will post more if/as I learn it.
Good article about the Pistons' victory from, of all places, The New Republic.
Lakers suck.
Here's where you point out any shortcomings you wish to focus on; any that you overlook can be added by the other members as 'comments' below. And if you yourself decide to add to your list, you can add a comment or edit your own post.
I suggest you try adding a post and adding a comment to an existing post, just to see how this stuff works. I've been messing around a bit -- I added a couple of links (college football news, ESPN) and experimented with some other stuff. Let me know if you guys have any problems posting or if you have any suggestions about stuff to add. (I'm working on figuring out how to permanently post the rosters and weekly scores.)

ESPN.com - NFL - Mike Williams cuts ties with his agent (for now):
"In an effort to enhance the chances of having his NCAA eligibility restored, Southern California wide receiver Mike Williams and his agents have signed a mutual letter of dissolution, formally voiding the standard representation agreement required by the NFL Players Association for draft prospects."
Not streaming like the one from the Hog's Breath, but I thought some of the UF alum might be interested:
Live from Gainesville
Hog's Breath Saloon Raw Bar in Key West Florida
I just thought this was pretty cool -- live streaming video from the Hog's Breath. Wonder if any of the bars in G-ville have such a setup?
I'd argue that FSU-Miami ought to be on this list, but maybe the fact that it only really goes back 15 years or so reduces it some. Anyway, here's a couple of the college football rivalries that made the list, along with a link:
Unrivaled: The 20 top sports rivalries:
"Oklahoma-Nebraska: The game of last century is considered to be the 1971 meeting between these schools when both entered 10-0. Nebraska was ranked No. 1 and the Sooners No. 2. Johnny Rodgers starred as Nebraska prevailed 35-31 and went on to defeat Alabama for the national championship in the Orange Bowl. New Cornhuskers coach Bill Callahan, a South Side native, has some work to do to maintain national interest, especially considering they don't meet every year anymore with the Big 12 divided by North and South divisions.
Florida-Georgia: The world's largest outdoor cocktail party is held every fall in Jacksonville at Alltell Stadium, formerly the Gator Bowl. Lindsay Scott caught a 93-yard touchdown pass in the 1980 meeting to help the Bulldogs to a comeback victory on the way to the national championship. The Gators dominated with the arrival of Steve Spurrier, and Georgia still is fighting to turn the tide."
[EDIT] Whoops, I spoke too soon. There's a list of "new" rivalries (the two listed above were in the "Old" section), and FSU-Miami makes the cut there. See the link.
Looks like the Rose Bowl isn't going to stand for some of the more interesting ideas being tossed around by fans and sportswriters. Excerpt:
CBS.SportsLine.com - NCAA Football Rose Bowl invokes Granddaddy clause in BCS talks:
"The Rose Bowl seemingly scuttled the most reasonable solution to the now-critical negotiations, the so-called 'piggyback' model that would add a fifth game but keep it within the current BCS-bowl lineup: Rose, Fiesta, Sugar and Orange.
The Rose recently made it known it wants the Pac-10-Big Ten matchup in every scenario except for the BCS title game (No. 1 vs. No. 2).
That led to dissension by the Big 12 and SEC. The two mega-conferences were suddenly not in favor of the piggyback if the Rose Bowl wasn't incurring its share of 'liability'. That liability: having to take a non-BCS team in its bowl at some point. "
STLtoday - Neighborhoods - News: "Lindhorst was charged May 17 with five counts of aggravated battery for allegedly mixing his semen into food that was served to Waterloo Police Officer Jeff Prosise and Ellen Armbrecht at the Denny's Restaurant on N. Market Street where he was employed."
Warrants Issued For USF's Fisher - from Tampa Bay Online: "USF's offensive MVP last year, Fisher was held out of part of USF's spring drills for academic reasons. In USF's spring game, Fisher played running back and had a game- high 95 yards on 14 carries.
Fisher's warrants are for knowingly driving with a suspended license and altering a temporary license tag.
While Fisher's future is unknown, redshirt freshman quarterback Evan Kraky has decided to leave USF.
Kraky, who broke Ron Powlus' Pennsylvania state high school record for career yards passing, was plagued by an ankle injury at USF and is expected to transfer to a school closer to his home."
