Odds and Ends: USC! USC! USC!

We can’t wait for the college football season to arrive, but it’s not for the reasons you might think. Sure, we love the history-filled rivalries, the tailgating and the school pride, but more than anything, we love the cheerleaders. What? Did you expect us to say the option offense or something? Here’s the latest preseason top 10 rankings for this year.

10. Alabama’s Auburn University tops off the list at number 10. Six of this sexy squad’s cheerleaders were named Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.

9. Hailing from sunny California are the ladies of San Diego State. SD State is not just among the top hottest cheerleaders but they also took home third place in the 2008 College Cheerleading and Dance Team Nationals.

8. Reigning at number eight, are the Clemson Cheerleaders all the way from South Carolina.

7. Representing the home of Britney Spears and the Louisiana State Tigers are the LSU Cheerleaders at lucky number seven.

6. The Ohio State Cheerleaders made an appearance earlier this year at CBS and now they are making an appearance on the top ten list at number six.

5. Stirring up the fans and tipping off the top five are the Oregon State Cheerleaders.

4. Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the talent – at number four are the University of Texas Cheerleaders.

3. The recipients of 16 national titles, it’s no wonder the University of Kentucky Cheerleaders are at number three.

2. Holding their own with 5 national title victories are the ladies from Kentucky’s University of Louisville.

1. And the number one hottest cheerleaders are the USC Cheerleaders aka The Song Girls. These ladies bring good luck, cheers and songs to the devoted Trojan fans.

We make all our tough decisions on the can, but the Buckeyes do it in the shower

In football, all of a team’s players have to be on the exact same page at the exact same time for things to execute perfectly. Sometimes this unity is required on the gridiron, but other times it’s about coming together off of the field…in the shower, for example. At least, that’s where the Ohio State boys did their heavy thinking.

ESPN: I hate to make you describe a shower scene, but take me back to after the LSU loss when you and the other juniors talked about coming back for this season.

MF [Marcus Freeman]: Just a lot of emotion. Sitting on that bench and thinking, ‘Hey, I don’t think I’m going to come back and have this feeling again.’ But we got in the shower, everybody’s disappointed. I forget who was the first person to say something, but it was weird that all of us that had major decisions about coming back were all in the shower at the same time. (Alex) Boone or Malcolm Jenkins or someone said, ‘Hey, I’m coming back. I’m not leaving college football like this.’ And then James Laurinaitis said, ‘I’m coming back, too,’ and I said, ‘I’m coming back, too.’ We all knew we really had to go home and think about it, but that was the first feeling of, ‘Hey, let’s come back and do it one more time. Let’s go out with a bang our senior year.’

Sure, making a life-altering decision like coming back for your senior season in the shower seems kinda silly, but it’s no crazier than passing up the opportunity to turn pro while sitting in barren kitchen.

Question: You guys passed up a lot of money to stay. You’re living on scholarship checks.

[Malcolm] Jenkins (smiling): Every time you look in your refrigerator and you’ve only got peanut butter and jelly, you know, it makes you (think) like, “Dang, I wish I would’ve taken that 15 million dollars.”

Okla…homa Sooners get punk’d and then get pissed

When we first saw the news about Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s little case of road rage, we figured it had to be an elaborate joke. After all, he was trying to evade the cops in a jacked-up truck with a life-sized picture of himself on the side. Something tells us that probably wasn’t the best choice for an escape vehicle. Either way, turns out Rampage’s little, uh, rampage in the streets was all too real and the former UFC light heavyweight champion is facing a pair of felony charges.

Anyways, like getting a song stuck in your head after hearing a few lines, we’re now jonzing for a good prank to get rid of the sadness that has crept into our souls since finding out Rampage is a moron. Luckily, this anti-Sooner came into our lives at just the right moment.

The publisher of Oklahoma’s largest newspaper and one of its sportswriters have sued a University of Texas employee who admitted posting a bogus article on the Internet about two University of Oklahoma football players.

The Oklahoma Publishing Co., which publishes The Oklahoman newspaper and newsok.com website, filed a civil lawsuit Monday against James W. Conradt, a Nebraska football fan who works as a service manager for UT’s information technology department.

The 10-count civil lawsuit accuses Conradt of libel, copyright violations and trademark infringements. It seeks unspecified financial damages.

Conradt, 36, used a template from the newspaper’s website to publish a fake article on the Internet on July 9 that stated OU quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Landry Jones had been arrested for intent to distribute cocaine, the lawsuit alleges.

Hey, James, say hi to Rampage for us if you should happen to pass him in the courthouse halls.

Odds and Ends: Desmond Howard now has the second most famous Heisman pose

As soon as we saw this picture of Tim Tebow, we knew we had to post it. After all, could anything be better than a photograph of the only sophomore to ever win the Heisman Trophy breaking out “the pose” with a baby in hand while wearing a pair of Florida Gators colored Crocs. Simply put, no. Thanks, Busted Coverage.

Don’t mess with this Hawg’s hog, uh, scooter

Soaring gas prices are hitting everyone hard, forcing many to resort to unconventional means of transportation. Some are choosing to walk when they can, others ride bicycles around town, while some brave souls even dare to climb aboard the public transportation systems (Note: Watch out for homeless people’s urine in the seats. We learned the hard way.). All in all, this lifestyle change is making the general population a bit cranky and edgy. Case in point, 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound Arkansas linebacker Wendel Davis opted to go with riding a scooter and went psycho when he was rear-ended.

Arkansas linebacker Wendel Davis faces a felony criminal mischief charge after police say he punched through the window of a car that bumped his scooter.

Davis, 19, of Sweeny, Texas is scheduled to appear before a judge July 30 over the charge, stemming from an altercation Tuesday afternoon. If convicted, Davis could face up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

A university police spokesman says Davis’ fist put dents into the car and broke its windshield. Davis was released without bond pending his court hearing.

OK, so there appears to be more to this story than simple road rage over gas prices like we indicated earlier. Turns out Davis was involved in an altercation with the rear-ender, Onyebuchi Odunukwe, hours before the “accident” and sent Davis threatening texts during the days prior. What caused the beef? A chickenhead, of course.

Davis said the threats began after he kissed Odunukwe’s girlfriend early Saturday
morning.

The babes simply can’t resist mopeds.

Contagious viral videos worth catching

Whenever we’re in the mood for stupid videos, there’s only one place we turn to and that’s StupidVideos.com. Duh! Anyways, we found a goldmine of stupidity/hilarity when we paid our most recent visit. First, we’ve got one of the sickest submissions you’ll ever see in a mixed martial arts competition.

Let’s see Rampage or Forrest Griffin do that on Saturday night.

Next up, is a video of a horse attempting a back flip.

Wait, did we say attempting a back flip? Sorry, we meant to say attempting to commit murder on its jockey.

Odds and Ends: Wisconsin students must prepare for sober football


Bad news for drunken Badger fans; the University of Wisconsin-Madison decided to continue their 2007 “Show and Blow” campaign which requires students who were previously busted for getting tanked at a home football game to blow into a Breathalyzer unit to get in. Of course, you gotta pass the test to enter (blowing .00 for underage students and under .08 for those over 21).

When asked for reaction to the renewal of the program, almost every student on campus responded, “This blows!”

Case closed on the great Gator trophy caper


The mystery that was the smashed crystal football outside Florida coach Urban Meyer’s office has been solved. The Waterford crystal trophy was destroyed last week after falling off a coffee table and crashing to the floor and the program was hush-hush about how it all went down, leaving the door wide open for conspiracy theories galore. But on Wednesday, the truth came out…it was a damn recruit!

Plant tight end Orson Charles, in town participating in a Nike football camp, was posing for photos with the Tim Tebow’s Heisman Trophy and the 2006 BCS National Championship trophy. While posing with the Heisman, his hip bumped the table, and the $35,000 crystal football on top of the trophy crashed to the floor just outside coach Urban Meyer’s office.

Jaws dropped. For once, Plant coach Robert Weiner, 3 feet from the fall, didn’t know the next play.

“We didn’t know what to do, if we should have started picking up the pieces or what,” Weiner said. “It was surreal, like everything happened in slow motion.”

Weiner whispered to Charles (right): “They’re either going to take your scholarship away or they’re going to make you commit to them today.”

Meyer came to survey the scene.

Plant assistant T.J. Lane broke the silence: “That’s a replica right?”

Awkward. But the craziest part of this whole story comes with coach Weiner’s assessment of his clumsy tight end prior to the big crash.

Before Charles broke the trophy, Plant coach Robert Weiner said Meyer asked him to describe Charles. Weiner told Meyer that Charles was a “physical specimen” but sometimes a “bull in a china shop.”

“After what happened,” Weiner said, “I’m sure Urban now thinks I’m an excellent evaluator of talent.”

Ryan Perrilloux goes racist after being denied service from a closed restaurant


The Texas Longhorns felt pretty slighted when Ryan Perrilloux changed his commitment from UT to LSU at the last second, but after seeing the kid completely flop off the field, Mack Brown is probably breathing a huge sigh of relief. After all, the Longhorns are doing an excellent job of turning their program into the next Miami without Perrilloux’s assistance.

LSU junior quarterback Ryan Perrilloux allegedly caused a scene at a local restaurant Friday night, a few days before he was expected to rejoin the team Monday for spring practice.

A server at Kona Grill in Perkins Rowe told The Daily Reveille late Tuesday night that Perrilloux arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes after it closed Friday.

Perrilloux entered the bar and attempted to order drinks. After he was denied service, Perrilloux began to curse and use racial slurs, the server said.

A Kona Grill manager approached Perrilloux, who then cursed the manager. The server said Perrilloux was asked to leave. And the police were called to the restaurant, but Perrilloux had left by the time any officers arrived.

The nerve of some people; how dare they not serve the Tigers backup quarterback following closing time! We’re assuming that at some point Perrilloux busted out the old “Don’t you know who I am?” line. After all, an angry diatribe just isn’t an angry diatribe without a little overinflated ego sprinkled in for effect.

Odds and Ends: Terrelle Pryor is on the verge of making someone very happy


Well, the wait is almost over and it appears that either Ohio State or Michigan will be the proud owners of the rights to Terrelle Pryor at noon on Wednesday. Pryor is the latest version of Vince Young to hit the college gridiron and he should have dramatic effects on the aspirations of whomever he decides to join. Stay tuned to see if Rich Rodriguez’s jump to Michigan was worth it.
