"Drop Your Cocks and Grab Your Socks!"

Reveille is a French word meaning "wake up." Reveille is a tune played at sunrise for military personnel throughout the world. Reveille is a dog that walks on water on the storied Texas A & M campus. For Mike Sherman, head coach of the Aggies, reveille is moving to the digital age. The coach has placed 25 digital clocks around the practice facility to ensure that everyone knows what time it is.

Why?

Well it seems "The Shermanator" is demanding perfection in everything including making it to meetings on time. Those that are late to practice or meetings will have their lockers cleaned out and will not be allowed to participate until they have had a meeting with coach. If that doesn't straighten you out he will send the First Lady of the Corps of Cadets after you.

You got to be early,
You got to be early,
You got to be early to meeting;
You got to be early,
You got to be early,
You got to be early or else!

The coach told the players,
The players told the Corps,
The Corps told the "Lady,"
And the bitch told them all!

No Breaks for Ann Arbor

It seems that Wolverine country has had more "hard" luck and can't get a break if they tried to buy one. Earlier this month a Michigan archeology professor mistakenly purchased a Mike's Hard Lemonade for his 7 year old son at a Detroit Tigers game. Christopher Ratte thought he was buying a lemonade, but when stadium security saw his son, Leo, sipping on Mike's goodness they took both of them in for questioning. The whole ordeal landed Leo in Child Protective Services for three days! The authorities may have overacted, but maybe they have a little Buckeye in their blood...

BTW - The article states that Leo was taken to the hospital and they found no alcohol his blood. So much for being "HARD" Mike!

Status Quo

This is one of the most positive articles about a playoff system that has been published in a while. However it doesn't look like ANYTHING will change when the BCS conference commissioners are done meeting Wednesday afternoon in Hollywood, FL. It seems that the Big Ten and Pac Ten commissioners are still "party poopers" about the whole idea of a playoff and nothing can change until the Pac-10, Big Ten, and Rose Bowl contract with ABC ends in 2014! 2014? Yes, 2014! Well at least we will have some great bowls to watch!

The idea of playoffs is going NOWHERE fast!

Early Cinco de Mayo to you!

V is no longer for Victory!

Not a completely original idea. Here is the story about USC turning themselves in for a shirt that was sold during their spring game a week ago. The NCAA won't get them for Bush, but a t-shirt? Maybe.

Still trying to get my hands on one...

I'm Too Sexy for My Shirt...

Somethings you wish you had thought of. Others you wish the thought had never even entered your mind. This is one that this college football guy wouldn't have even thought of making up and I think I am OK with that.

The University of Oregon Offensive Line has made a calendar for the 2008-2009 school year. "Say what?!" A calendar of the firemen variety. Not sure what else to say about it, other than Husky fans (both University of Washington and those larger than average) eat your hearts out! You FINALLY have something new to make fun of Oregon for! That uniform thing is getting a little old. Below is a montage provided by our friends at www.edsbs.com.

Long on Love

The College Football Guys were reminded from several Michigan fans that their was one good thing that happened this week for Wolverine Football. Jake Long was drafted by the Miami Dolphins with the first pick of the 2008 draft. This is an ode to Jake Long from www.ryanparkersongs.com. Your welcome Wolverine fan.

A'Maizen Blues

Ohio State has beat the Maize and Blue one more time this year. First it was the head to head game in November, then it was Terrelle Pryor in March, now it seems that one more victory has been scored by those rivals to the south. Justin Boren, a 2007 starting lineman for the Wolverines, announced today that he will be transferring to The Ohio State University and begin play in the 2009 season.

Justin, as you will remember from an earlier post, left Michigan because he felt that the program's "family values have eroded" under new coach Rich Rodriguez. It appears that the Buckeye family must being doing pretty good. How could it not be when Jim Tressel reminds us all so much of Mr. Rogers.

Here is Buckeye take on the story.

Poor Michigan! They have had some rough times lately. This headline proves how jaded they have become.

The People's Poll

One always wonders what a poll would look like if "the people" voted. Vegas gives us every year the closest thing that we can get to that. Here are the odds for winning the 2009 BCS Championship. There is one thing that concerns me in this poll, either I am out of touch with the popularity of some of these programs OR their are schools out their that might want to consider gambling counseling as a benefit for joining their Alumni Association. Are Tar Heels, Wildcats (all three), Wolfpack, Beavers, and Turtles addicts? Why do they have their own line and not included with "the field?"

Desperate Times Call for...

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini got a reminder this weekend of just how crazy Cornhusker country is when his team's spring scrimmage sold out Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. Not only were most of the 80,000+ fans willing to pay the $10 admission price, on-line ticket broker Stub Hub were selling tickets for as much as $95, each! All this to see a scrimmage. Just goes to show the lengths that poor Cornhusker fans are willing to go to watch their beloved program win a game.

BTW boys and girls - L is for Loyalty...or Lunatic. F is for Fanatic.

Ralphie Gone Wild!

It is not just football players that use college spring games to help fine tune their game. As you will notice from the video below, mascots too need some time to figure everything out. This is the University of Colorado's new mascot, Ralphie V, and this young buff hasn't quite got everything down pat yet. I think he really wants to go RV'ing with "The Hawk."



On Sunday, in Boulder tradition, the residents and students had their annual celebration of 4/20 day. Over 10,000 people gathered in front of the CU student union to all smoke out in unison. You can bet those poor Ralphie handlers were there "easing the pain."
