Larry, I was looking up Ocracoke Island and it looks awesome. Have you been there before? I look forward to hearing about it.
It appears that Tubberville is getting killed for the chop block on Dorsey. This from Jason Whitlock on foxsports.com
2. Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville is an absolute coward and fraud for not suspending the freshman lineman who chop-blocked LSU's Glenn Dorsey in the back of the knees.
I've watched the highlight over and over and what transpired is completely unjustifiable. Tuberville claims all the linemen were supposed to cut block. You don't cut block a defensive linemen moving toward you on the back of his knees.
Not only was the block illegal, but it was as immoral as LSU coach Les Miles claimed. Plus, it's damaging to college football. Dorsey returned to LSU for his senior season. He could've turned pro after last season. Now every NFL agent is going to show every third-year defensive lineman the tape of the block that could've cost Dorsey millions of dollars.
The NCAA needs to step in here and suspend the freshman guard. No one is saying the kid is a bad kid. But the sport needs to send a strong message that those type plays will not be tolerated, even accidentally.
Also and interesting take here, complete with video.
Finally, my mom sent me this and I thought it was hysterical.
'Dear Lord: Thank you for bringing me to Timmy's house and not to Michael Vick's -- AMEN!

Ocracoke is pretty amazing. My parents rented two houses across the street from each other. Me Kev, and Krista and families in one, mom and dad in the other. Great feel to the little island. Temps are perfect (55 low, 65 high). We have set up a treasure hunt for the kids. Complete with finding a bottle floating up to our beach - ending four days later with a real burried treasure box. riddles, map work, and different sites along the way. This is the island Blackbeard anchored his ship. ARRRRGGGGG ILE
