Interesting stuff I found on ESPN. Looking at just gifts, our players are probably glad we didn't go to the GMAC bowl...

"Good going Jimmy! You really played swell this year. Did you sell those books we gave you and pocket the money? Good, good. You didn't steal books from other people, did ya squirt? How's your new paid-for campus apartment coming along, and that "job" I got you? Good to hear! Oh, by the way, the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl appreciates how hard you work and understands how you feel bad because you don't get compensated at all for what you do, so they got you this little $500 gift. Here you go, no naughty stuff until then now..."

Wow if we could just go to a bowl game in the next two years, I'd be really happy with anything they give us.

When we get to a Bowl, they could save money by giving gifts to the season ticket holders rather than the players.

shouldn't all that be motivation for these guys to want to go bowling? Jesus I wish I played college football.

I hope they are also sending matching gifts to Iraq...

Does she get mad when you call her your old secretary?

Probably. I'd be more sensitive but she screwed my files up bad.
