In 2001, Gary Barnett led the Colorado Buffaloes to the Big 12 Championship with the motto "Return to Dominance". After two arrests and three suspensions last week, it appears Dan Hawkins motto for the season may be "Return to Cell block H".
Notre Dame DL Derrell Hand was arrested last week for soliciting an undercover police officer posed as a prostitute. There are tons of jokes that I'll leave off (for now) regarding a Catholic school kid named Hand soliciting a lady of the evening. The most disturbing news for the Irish may be the quote from the story, "A junior from Philadelphia, Hand was expected to compete for a starting spot or to be a key reserve at defensive end, even though he had not seen action during his first two seasons at ND." In today's world of rotating D-Lineman, combined with the "Defense on Roller Skates" exhibited last year by the FishEaters, the fact that Hand couldn't get on the field the previous two years does not bode well for Charlie Weis' squad in 2007.
Finally, I read in the Norman Transcript yesterday that the Sooners continue to shuffle DB's around, with Lendy Holmes moving to safety. Venables moved DJ Wolfe their last year. The constant rotation of DBs to different positions makes this quasi reporter nervous. Seems to me the more we move Reggie, DJ, Lewis Baker and Lendy around, the better the likelihood of them thinking their in one position when they really are in another, a la Baylor in 2005 and Oregon in 2006. Which may allow Adarius Bowman to get open with just his good eye.
