""Use Your Illusion I:" If June Jones closes his eyes and tries real hard, maybe he can convince himself he's back in Hawaii soaking in the sun."
Also Pat Forde had a couple of shots at the Ponies as well...

" First-year coaches (9). Snowballs for no fewer than six new coaches who have seen the honeymoon end rather abruptly. Bust of the busts: Rich Rodriguez at Michigan, which plummeted from 9-4 to an all-time worst 3-9. But don't forget Bobby Petrino at Arkansas (4-7 after the Razorbacks went 8-5 last year). And Mike Sherman (taking Texas A&M from 7-6 last year to 4-7). And Paul Wulff at Washington State (from 5-7 last year to 2-10). And Bill Stewart (West Virginia going from 11-2 to 7-3). And Larry Fedora, who is 5-6 at Southern Miss after replacing Jeff Bower, who rolled out 14 straight winning seasons.
The big first-year success is Houston Nutt, 7-4 at Mississippi after the Rebels were 3-9 last year. Nutt is followed by: Paul Johnson, 8-3 at Georgia Tech, which went 7-6 last season; Bo Pelini, 7-4 at Nebraska, while blessed with eight home games, after 5-7 last year; David Cutcliffe (4-7 at Duke, upgrading from 1-11); Steve Fairchild (6-6 Colorado State after Sonny Lubick bowed out with a 3-9); and Jerry Kill (6-5 at Northern Illinois after a 2-10 debacle last year).
Carbon-neutral coaches: Rick Neuheisel at UCLA, Art Briles at Baylor, Kevin Sumlin at Houston, Ken Niumatalolo at Navy and June Jones at SMU."

"Hawaii (27). Congrats to the school that lost its Heisman candidate quarterback and was jilted by its coach and is sitting at 6-5. Don't think they aren't hula-ing with glee at Jones' 1-10 record at SMU."
Oh the humanity!
