Really Pete?

Former University of Southern California football coach Pete Carroll is upset with the NCAA for the sanctions that have been levied against the school's football program for a lack of institutional control during his tenure at USC. The key word in that first sentence is "former". Yes, Pete Carroll joins the list of several college coaches (football, basketball, etc.) who all of a sudden get the urge to move on to greener pastures just before the NCAA sanctions axe falls upon the school that they are leaving. Really Pete? You didn't realize that your star running backs parents all of sudden had an incredible upgrade in living arrangements? After all those other years of fielding national championship contenders/winners, did no NFL teams come to you with an offer that would provide you with the "challenge" that you claim drove you to taking the job with the Seattle Seahawks?

The timing of Pete's job change wreaks of coincidence. He knew that the Trojans' athletic program was under investigation and the fact that he took the NFL job would suggest that he knew what the result of the investigation would be. So once again a coach skips town scot-free while the school and the athletes he left behind pays the price. Good luck in the NFL Pete, just remember they all get paid to play there!

Hey! It's a sunny and dry day here in the state of Iowa and two of PR.com's best supporters, the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) and "The Beaver" (Buena Vista Raceway) come together in Alta tonight for a big night of racing! If I didn't have to work Thursday morning I'd be making the five hour trip to the northwest portion of the state to catch the action, but hopefully you can make it there tonight. The USMTS makes a stop at another of our PR.com supporters next Tuesday night June 22nd when they roll into the Mineral City Speedway in Fort Dodge. If I'm able to make that trip it will allow me to once again say that I have been to every oval track in the state of Iowa that runs a weekly program.

Does anybody really care anymore that Sports Center originates from Los Angeles?

Why do so many AWP's take shots at Simmons Promotions on internet forums?

Enjoy your "hump day"
