2) Number of SEC running backs starting in the NFL? 10 - Ronnie Brown (Miami - Auburn) Rudi Johnson (Cincinnati - Auburn), Joseph Addai (Indy - LSU), Fred Taylor (Jacksonville - Florida), Travis Henry (Tennessee - Tennessee), Duece Mccallister (New Orleans - Ole Miss), Carnell Williams (Tampa Bay - Auburn), Shawn Alexander (Seattle - Alabama), Cedric Houston (NYJ - Tennessee), Jamal Lewis (Baltimore - Tennessee). Deshawn Foster, another starter, played at Alabama before transferring to UCLA.
3) Number of times I’ve accidently walked into the womens restroom at a University of Tennessee football game? 1
bUGLY recommended business venture
Start up a womens magazine called Cuticle. Position it as the pottery barn for the working womens cubicle. Sell staplers, tape dispensers, and lamps at a ridiculously high price. Be sure to hire the jackass from Volkwagon who had the idea of putting a vase in the bug.
bUGLY top three recommended CD’s for the week
1) Combat Rock from The Clash - This is a no brainer. I pretty much can listen to this album any damn day. If you’re trying to get off coffee in the morning, just pop in Car Jamming and let it get you going (the drums are freakin awesome in this cut). Be sure to check out Red Angel Dragnet as well - its more spoken word than song but is still a must hear. And everyone has heard Casbah and Should I Stay or Should I Go, so don’t forget about them.
2) Power to the People and the Beats from Public Enemy - This is a greatest hits CD pure and simple. Shut’em Down is one of the selected tracks. I used to love this song. In highschool I always wanted this to be my church league hoops team theme song. It would have been perfect except we didn’t play exceptional defense and we had a pretty spotty win/loss record. Segway - My favorite highlight for the season was stealing the ball, passing it to the coaches son, and seeing it slip through his hands in route in unplugging the scoreboard. I think we were down by forty at the time, but no one could remember the score. I believe that turnover ended up being a 20 point play for us. God Bless J.O…. Anyway, back to business. This release has em all - He Got Game, Fight the Power, Don’t Believe the Hype, etc etc. Go get it and shut your cake hole, brotha.
“I like Nike but wait a minite
The neighborhood supports so put some
Money in it
Corporations owe
Dey gotta give up the dough
To da town
or else
We gotta shut ‘em down”
3) Hands All Over from SoundGarden - This is not an album, just a single. I honestly can’t remember the name of the album this is off of, but it’s the one before Badmotorfinger. iTunes has it on the A-sides (greatest hits) CD. This is a great song and it shows the strength of Cornells pipes as good as anything else by SoundGarden or AudioSlave.
4) Bonus single - The Saint from D.I. - I can’t find this song or CD (team goon? I think) anywhere. I had it when I was in highschool and loved it. iTunes doesn’t have it, and I have not had any luck finding it at the Disc Exchange, ebay, amazon, or anywhere. If you see it, give it a shot. D.I. and The Exploited got some major rotation in the ole Chevy Sprint back in the day. Man, I am cool.
