His wedding responsibility? "I'm in charge of the groom's cake," Quinn said. "It's going to be the Olympic rings."

Harry, tweet him the link for the website that does the Mean Green cakes. We have to get this remedied!

I'd never have a problem with an Olympian getting a cake with the Olympic Rings on it. No offense (I love NT as much as anybody), but that's the biggest stage in sports.

I never knew he had trouble finding a scholly. We offered two days before signing day. TWO DAYS!

His wedding responsibility? "I'm in charge of the groom's cake," Quinn said. "It's going to be Scrappy swooping in clutching the Olympic rings in his talons."

That's more like it!

Devry? WTF?

DD originally asked Quinn to be a preferred walk on. DD thought we should be able to recruit a bigger, faster WR. Assistant coaches lobbied for Quinn so DD finally offered JQ scholly 2 days prior to signing day. Quinn and his dad weren't looking for preferred walk on status. JQ and his dad have the same outlook about being a preferred walk on as a lot of others in same situation. DD and Mac have done very well convencing kids to become preferred walk on's.

Go Johnny Go. I hope the publicity helps JQ fund his training efforts!!! Maybe he can get some professional endorsements. JQ should call Mattress Mac about doing a commercial here in H-Town.

It was then receivers coach Kelvin Martin that pushed for JQ. So hat's off to K-Mart for that! Always thought K-Mart was a good coach and was sorry to see him go in such a dishonorable way, hope he's rid himself of those demons. Wonder if Quinn and K-Mart still communicate?
