It's "Writ her name"

Writ means write. It's a bit archaic, but the song was penned a few years back.

You're welcome? At the very least the game is in a quality venue this season.

You see the kilt dude at all the games. Spoke to him a time or two. He owns an auto repair place in McAdory.

Nothing (I wasn't implying that there was anything wrong with it).

Sorry AA, my comment was directed at the heathen's pic of fine upstanding Alabama fans.

• NCAA rule-breaking with coaches and staffers: Shapiro said he violated NCAA rules with the knowledge or direct participation of at least six coaches – Clint Hurtt, Jeff Stoutland and Aubrey Hill on the football staff, and Frank Haith, Jake Morton and Jorge Fernandez on the basketball staff. Multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports Shapiro also violated NCAA rules with football assistant Joe Pannunzio, although the booster refused to answer any questions about that relationship. Shapiro also named assistant football equipment manager Sean Allen as someone who engaged in rulebreaking, and equipment managers Ralph Nogueras and Joey Corey as witnesses to some of his impropriety.

Stoutland and (should have known better than to hire a Tuberville coach) Pannunzio joined the staff a few months back. Won't hurt my feelings if both are let go tomorrow. Although, to be fair, Shapiro suggests that Paul Dee and Donna Shalala were in on it, too. We don't know exactly how much direct knowledge Stoutland had and Shapiro wouldn't really comment on Pannunzio.

Meh. Fire 'em.

Paul Dee was watching the hen house at Miami during the 90's AND during this mess. He currently passes judgment on other schools and was the lead in hammering USC because they "should have known" Reggie Bush's family was getting freebies.

How can he possibly have any credibility left?

Paul Dee excoriated Bama a few years back, too. Heh. Glad to see his house of cards tumble.

The other coaches implicated are at Louisville (Clint Hurtt), Florida (Aubrey Hill), Missouri (Frank Haith - head coach) and Western Kentucky (Jake Morton). Jorge Fernandez stayed at the U.

if Dee hammers his buddy Butch MF'in Davis' latest program then he has tons of cred. if they get off then he's a scumbag of the highest order.
U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.
