Sully Talking Stuff

Three Wisconsin Dopes:  Three suspects in the Montee Ball attack have been arrested  but not formally charged in the assault on the star Wisconsin running back. Wendell J Venerable, Deonte J. Wilson, & Robert A. Wilks. The three face substantial battery-party to a crime charges which are pending as police continue to investigate.  Authorities believe that the attack on Ball was related to an earlier incident (fight at a party a few days before the altercation) to which Ball denies any involvement. The RB’s status for this week’s opener has not been determined as he suffered a concussion due to the attack. Ball scored 39 TDs last year and will be missed come Saturday; and while the Badgers should have their way with Northern Iowa… the Panthers are one of the best teams in the FCS and…. Iowa had to block not one (penalty on the first block) but two field goal attempts as time expired… to prevail against their in-state “Little Brother”!!! Badgers need to show up ready to play!

News from La La Land: What is going on with Billboards? I thought with Instant Messaging, E-Mailing, Texting, & Tweeting that “big signs” would have gone the way of the Buffalo… oh yeah… they’re back… a couple million of them are wandering around the Dakotas. That said; USC decided to put up a billboard of star QB, Matt Barkley, a block or so from the UCLA campus (Barkley is looking to the sky ((Hollywood affect)) with the words “WE PLAY TO FINISH … written to his left in all capital locks! Maybe Kiffin learned Billboard Communication 101 from Mississippi State’s head coach, Danny Mullen, while spending time (however brief) at Tennessee. Meanwhile, the billboard has been painted over … I’m shocked… shocked….that it took the Beach Boys at UCLA… a week …. to paint, draw a mustache, a unibrow… do something to Barkley’s heavenly image!  USC is saying they had nothing to do with the billboard being painted over (gave no one permission to do so… perhaps…. related to pressure from UCLA administration to take it down?) UCLA officials say they had no involvement … at any level. The company who put up the billboard is owned by two brothers who attended USC… go figure! Wait.. not only did Brian & Drake Kennedy attend SC…. they built and donated one of their practice football fields. When the news starved California media contacted the Irish brothers (why the H ain’t these guys ND fans… must be Presbyterians) about the billboard … they became irate and told the media types…..to buzz off (serious California verbiage) and hung up on them (Big put down in the land of….. let’s talk about our feelings)! All documented in the LA Times! Will somebody…somewhere…. please… kick off!!!

Da’Rick Rodgers’ Tennessee Site-Seeing Tour: The star wide out, who was the leading receiver in the SEC a year ago (67 receptions for 1040 yards and 9 TDs) was thrown a Dear John Letter, by Tennessee coach Derek Dooley after… yet… another…. failed drug test…. has enrolled @ Tennessee Tech. The Golden Eagles play in the Ohio Valley, an FCS affiliate and because Rogers has elected to play in the lower division… he is eligible immediately. Rogers was quick to point out that he is young and immature and that he has things to work on…. really… good sound bite for the NFL! I do not know about you… but I think I’ll reserve judgement on the verbal and wait for the actual arrival of the behavioral alterations!
