The Next One

On Saturday night, the college football world was treated to two things. The return of the U and the introduction of the next great Miami safety. Wearing number 26, the same numbers as former U great the late Sean Taylor, Ray Ray Armstrong let the world know that he is for real. During the game he ran all of the field making plans and showed the world who he was.

Here is a highlight video of the true freshman, when he was in high school last year.

At the end of his career Armstrong will be adding his name to the list of great Miami safeties that includes Ed Read, Taylor, and Kenny Phillips.

The money making power of soccer

This has been a big year for soccer in the United States. First the US Men's National team beats Spain at the Confed Cup, then ESPN starts to show La Liga and the Premier League and finally Dicks Sporting Good decides to dedicate a section of their stores to soccer gear and not just balls and shin guards but jerseys and jackets to. Having leagues on ESPN is a big deal but having their merchandise in stores might be bigger because it shows that money making power of soccer in the United States.

Professional Tailgating: Someone Returns Home

Most of the OTWT Tailgating Crew took the week off, Rutgers was not playing, but one member made a trip to his old stomping grounds. Quincy Carter's Coke Habit returned to his home the University of Georgia for their game against LSU. Here are some of the sites from tailgating in the SEC, the best conference in the country, hell on the big Big 10 plus 1.

LSU fans make a nice batch of gumbo

It's the SEC, so that means couches and TV inside of tents before games, it might be heaven.

The OTWT Tailgating crew needs this set up for next season

Really sweet seats for the game, to bad he did not like the ending of the game as LSU beat the Dawgs on a touchdown in the last minute.
