Little piece on the I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. dotted on the al about travel expenses to the Outback Bowl. Gives an idea of what it costs to take a major D1 program on the road. And this was not flying. Anyone know what, if any, revenue AU received from playing this game? You keep hearing more and more how teams are losing money to play in a bowl game.
Auburn cut its bowl costs in half with a shorter trip to its bowl destination last season.
The athletics department spent $1,671,722.59 on its Outback Bowl trip in December and January, amounting to nearly half the cost of their trip to the BCS National Championship in Pasadena, California a year earlier. Auburn spent $3.13 million for the trip at the end of the 2013 season.
Auburn was unable to sell 1,898 tickets of its 9,212-seat allotment at the Outback Bowl and absorbed those seats at a cost of $213,670 for Auburn, according to documents obtained Tuesday in an open records request.
Auburn spent $353,474 on transportation for the 732 people in its travel party, including the band, cheerleaders and athletics department officials. Auburn spent $1.7 million on travel a year ago to Pasadena, when the team traveled via plane. Most Auburn players traveled to Tampa, Florida in December in their own vehicles. Meals, lodging and per diem totaled $924,687 at the Outback Bowl.
The football team also spent $24,265 for the use of a practice facility ($6,423.65), Florida Highway Patrol escorts ($8,118.15), an audio visual and business center ($4,523.16), and security ($5,200).

Blind long snapper will be a Trojan
Two years ago, ESPN's College GameDay profiled high school long snapper Jake Olson, a blind long snapper who had overcome seemingly insurmountable odds in order to become a member of his high school football team.
The video begins with a quote from Olson: "I've learned that if you want to win forever, always compete. You're either competing or you're not. I've chosen to always compete."
And compete Olson might, but not just for any team, for the USC Trojans -- his team.
"I can honestly say that probably without USC, it would've made the situation a lot more miserable, a lot harder," Olson said. "I don't know if I would've come out of it as positive as I have been."
On Monday, Gary Klein had a terrific profile in the LA Times about Olson's journey and where it might take him. And yes, that journey might include a stop in Memorial Coliseum. Olson -- who boasts a 4.3 GPA -- will attend USC and according to Klein, Olson "would join the program as a walk-on."
"Someday, he's going to snap in a game for us," USC coach Steve Sarkisian told Klein. "When? I don't know. But it will happen. When that day comes, it will be awesome."
"Awesome" might be the understatement of the year. Because when Olson enters that game -- whatever game it might be -- as Sarkisian has said he will, everyone in the country is going to tune in and be a USC fan.

If what you're poking at is red or black, brother, I hope you are wrapping up.

Oh yeah? Well, fudge you. I'm leaving. And I really mean it this time. You'd better hope I don't see you at an xgate or you're in line for a flying scissor twist buddy.
If/when I do make it to an x-gate, I may be so intoxicated that I would let you try it just to see if you can get your leg up that high.

Man, I am glad that you and I are homies now. And the mutual respect is cool. We've both lived the gangster life and whooped up on a lot of mofos.
At the same time, you need to tone it down my main man. There is no sense in getting hot and risking getting into trouble over bs on the x.
Lets hook up and run some hoes and smoke that reefer. I hear some 40 oz bulls calling my name! Peace out my brother!

Discoloration of the skin in the lower extremities is typically a sign of poor blood circulation. You should get that checked out.
