<br />
<strong>Rap, Rap, Rapping At The Door</strong> -- Bad news is best delivered on Friday, so no surprise when it was <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.ajc.com/barnhart-college-football/2009/05/29/sec-headed-to-a-big-payday-in-2010/?cxntfid=blogs_barnhart_college_football">discovered</a> that in the new BCS contract <a target="_blank" href="http://blutarsky.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/one-step-ahead-of-the-game/">the Rose Bowl must fill one of its slots to a non-BCS team (think Boise State or Utah) if it loses either the Big 10 or Pac-10 champion to the BCS championship game</a>.<br />
<br />
There are the <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Rose+Bowl/">Rose Bowl</a> haters out there snarking away on this, but I think its another sad day for college football. Everyone bemoans the USC/Illinois type matchups in Pasadena, but I still find it fresh and what the Rose Bowl is all about. The various Miami/Nebraka, Texas/Michigan, USC/Texas type matchups were all enjoyable, but something has never felt right about them.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/06/01/barbarians-at-the-rose-bowl-gates/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/forward/19053930/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/06/01/barbarians-at-the-rose-bowl-gates/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/06/01/barbarians-at-the-rose-bowl-gates/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

There's nobody to blame but himself, of course, but sometimes you have to give the Devil his due. For all his transgressions, try not to read too much into <a href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ap-tennessee-defections&amp;prov=ap&amp;type=lgns" target="_blank">the story that Tennessee has been witness to 11 player departures</a>. Wherever possible in college athletics, you want to look out for the best interest of the athletes but healthy, successful coaching transitions at big-time football programs almost require a good dose of roster turnover.

He was <a target="_blank" href="http://capstonereport.com/?p=2097">apparently attacked from behind</a>, motive unknown, and taken to the hospital. The attack happened near an entertainment district in Tuscaloosa.<br /><br />Additional reports indicate his injuries are minor -- right hand, right leg, toes on both feet -- and that he has been released from the hospital. The Bama Beat says <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.al.com/bamabeat/2009/05/police_alabama_pk_leigh_tiffin.html">no arrests have been made</a> and that police believe his involvement was "only as a victim." Kermit T. Frog once said it isn't easy being green. Tiffin proves it isn't easy being a kicker, either.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/05/06/alabama-kicker-attacked-in-tuscaloosa/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/forward/1538518/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/05/06/alabama-kicker-attacked-in-tuscaloosa/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/05/06/alabama-kicker-attacked-in-tuscaloosa/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>

Byrd had 37 receptions for 513 yards and four touchdowns last year, his second at LSU after transferring in from a junior college. He is perhaps most famous for his beautiful corner of the end zone game winning touchdown catch as time expired against Auburn in 2007 (video after the jump) that helped preserve LSU's national title hopes.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/04/20/demetrius-byrd-hospitalized-after-crash/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/forward/1522857/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/04/20/demetrius-byrd-hospitalized-after-crash/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2009/04/20/demetrius-byrd-hospitalized-after-crash/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>
