Preseason roundup

Former Nebraska RB Thunder Collins convicted of murder - Suddenly Lawrence Phillips really is a good kid.

Florida Gator safety Dorian Munroe underwent knee surgery - The story says he was fighting for a starting spot but some of the more informed Barkers will have to let us know how serious this is.

Auburn backup running back Eric Smith knocked a guy out - He hit the guy in the back of the head. The victim said it felt like being an Ohio State fan in a car that crosses paths with HenryJames.

The frontrunner for the starting QB spot at Boston College (the other BC) broke his rib - The ACC has had perhaps the worst QB play of any BCS conference the last couple of years. This can't help.

Craig Loston was cleared to play for LSU - He's like J'Covan Brown except not as good at basketball.

I picture that encounter like Prince’s fight in Purple Rain. Lots of slapping and nervous titters.

Thunder Collins once had a Nebraska school project webpage that was available to the public. It looked like a 5 year old with HTML experience got loose on the keyboard. The spelling broke the spellchecker in Word and Microsoft sued him. The entire thing was up while he was in school at UNL and it was a remnant page from a class he had already passed. I wish I could find that thing.

I didn’t click the link, but if I remember reading the story right ealier this year, didn’t he travel to, like, Corvallis or some shit to off the guy (or gal?). That is commitment.

Here is the archived bio page for ol’Thunder at Nebraska.

I remember the fawning from Nebraska fans about how great he was going to be and about how wonderful they were for turning him in a reclamation project.

I enjoyed the parts in that link regarding him being on schedule to graduate and him being a volunteer at a hospital. I guess the part where they typed that his real name is actually “Thunder” also made me laugh.

If this guy really graduated, well, we should just go ahead and assume that the third seal of the apocalypse has been broken.

So is naked and pregnant Demi Moore going to show up?

Gator Update:

There is no way that 5th year senior Dorian Munroe was going to replace Major Wright in the starting position. I doubt seriously that he was an option as the nickle either.
