between the article+your news I'm diarying nov 18!!!

............""We'll be ready in November," said Patten Brown, Lang Lawyer No. 3. "The only thing that I want to advise the court is my defense is going to last one week, possibly up to two."

At this, Judge Donald nearly fell off her bench.

"TWO WEEKS?"

"Certainly one week, your honor."

Which means one week of Division 1 head coaches swapping their coaching towers for the witness stand.

One week in which "We play 'em one at a time" won't suffice as a response.

One week of honest talk about the ugly business of college football recruiting.

It's about time for that, too.

Did you see the quote from Steve Spurrier the other day, about what happened when he informed the SEC office about cheating by another conference school?

"I'm not so sure the commissioner wanted to do anything," Spurrier said. "He didn't want to see any of his conference schools get in trouble."

Of course he didn't. He was more interested in hoarding bowl money and making the world safe from a national playoff.

Then there was Jackie Sherrill at the SEC media days, lashing out at SEC boosters for turning on each other, and at the Internet for spreading information about dirty schools.

"It has to be stopped," Sherrill said.

No, Jackie, the cheating has to be stopped.

Maybe this will help. Maybe one week of testimony about college recruiting will create some momentum for the task.

So mark your calendars, coaches. Hand your clipboards and whistles to someone else............"

WHOA!--with Jeremy's inside info if I was a coach/team that could be effected by this case I'd watch out and I'd be calling in my federal chits through my boosters to see if a liberal plea could be offered----LANG and his attorney could burn these guys like nobody's business---no matter if they go down in flames themselves!
