Where Have You Gone, Pert Coed Rumps Of The Alabama Fax Cam?
Last year Bama livened up the roll call that is National Signing Day by pointing a webcam at their fax machine, and sending female staffers to post the latest commitments.

Kevin Hart, Who Lied About Being Recruited, Says He's Being Recruited
Way back in 2008, Kevin Hart, a two-star offensive lineman prospect out of Nevada, held a press conference to announce he was choosing Cal over Oregon.

St. Mary's moved to 21-2 overall and 10-0 in the WCC with a convincing 80-66 win over BYU last night, and the frustration of the Cougar faithful (pun intended) was no more evident than at the start of the second half—when fans throwing items on the court earned BYU a technical foul call....
