Since we are on the topic of blogrolling/bookmarking and the "physical genius" today this couldn't be more timely.
From one of the latest editions to our growing SBN family - Notre Dame blog - Rakes of Mallow:
Rob from Rakes of Mallow flagged this bit from the LA Times:
USC's roster is nowhere near as star-studded as last season, but the Trojans still embrace celebrity.
That was evident during a team meeting.
As defensive coordinator Nick Holt tore into the team about a play that occurred late in practice, Carroll burst through a door in the back of the room wearing the Wonder Bread NASCAR racing suit that USC alum Will Ferrell sports as driver Ricky Bobby in the movie "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."
Carroll approached the front of the room, but before he got a chance to speak, the similarly attired Ferrell entered through another door and shouted at him.
Players cheered, laughed and then broke for a surprise screening of the film.
"That was pretty crazy," senior center Ryan Kalil said. "Coach Carroll always has a few surprises."
Sounds like a program which is really serious about getting its goons under control (Not).That was evident during a team meeting.

Anyways welcome to the Nation Rob.
