LIBERTY BOWL LEFTOVERS

As Alabama lays waste to Colorado (it's 27-0 midway through the second quarter), here are some leftovers from Memphis for you to nibble on:

1. Mississippi State back-up quarterback Michael Henig is, yes, of the Henig Furs empire of Montgomery, Alabama. Locals tell me that he first arrived on campus in Starkville driving a Hummer and wearing a fur coat. Why you'd need a fur coat in Starkville--or Montgomery--or if you're a college student (this isn't 1953, after all) is not clear.

Henig Furs...meeting all of Dixie's fur needs "for four generations".

Oh, and they have coyote furs, too, should you want one. But don't listen to me. Go to:

(Just heard "Walters on the tackle" again...not a good sign)

2. The Bulldogs have a freshman defensive end named Jazzmen Guy who looks nothing, absolutely nothing, like this:

Guy was a stud in high school, but he's finding out that it's a different world in college. You know what I mean?

(Walters just intercepted John Parker Wilson! I love this kid! I'm already checking out genealogy websites to see how closely we're related).

3. I searched a little, but I was still unable to find out who the other Eric Riley is. The Bulldogs have a wide-out named Co-Eric Riley, but his co-llaborator is unknown. His mom is named Erica, though.

4. UCF head coach George O'Leary had a fantastic quote about his star running back, Kevin Smith: "He's a stand-up guy in a sit-down world."
Don't you love that? Don't you wanna use that yourself? I think I will.

**********************

ESPN just flashed a cool stat on the TV screen: Alabama has allowed touchdowns on all 15 of its goal-to-go defensive possessions this season. That is, by definition, worst in the NCAA (along with Clemson). And so what happens? On 3rd-and-goal Cody Hawkins finds tight end Tyson DeVree for a touchdown.

It's now 27-7, Bama. And let's not forget who got it all started...my man, Ryan Walters!
