If You See Some New Faces On Campus This Weekend...Be Nice

by Sean Keeley on Jan 23, 2009 12:43 PM EST

Dalton's Rules are in effect this weekend, guys:

"What if a four-star recruit calls my momma a whore?"

"Is she?"

Seriously, we can't screw this weekend up. Lots of bright and shiny faces possibly interesting in spending the next four years in our keep. Including one very special individual:

Oklahoma high school running back David Oku will visit Syracuse this weekend even though he's officially committed to Tennessee, Donnie Webb reports in the Syracuse Post-Standard.

Oku is rated as the No. 13 running back in the country by ESPN.com's Scouts Inc. Another recruiting service has him ranked as the top all-purpose back in the nation.

When Oku gave his verbal commitment to the Volunteers, Stan Drayton was the Tennessee running backs coach. Now Drayton holds that title under Doug Marrone at Syracuse.

And those of you who have been questioning all of the Tennessee hires may now cease to do so.

Donnie has the full list of visitors this weekend. It includes some who are already verbal commitments (which means nothing) like Alec Lemon and Torian Phillips. It also includes one ridiculously good-looking quarterback (do I need to "no homo" this at this point? Just in case...no homo.). Interestingly, almost all of the visitors are from outside the Tri-State Area, a nice sign that Marrone's staff is looking far and wide for the best available players and not just playing in their own sandbox.

Seriously people,

don’t forget to cup the balls. No homo.

[Sean: Let’s face facts, some individuals are so good looking, “no homo” does not apply to them, because they exist outside the boundaries of normal attractiveness. Charlie Loeb may be one of those individuals and therefore no “no homo” is needed in the future. Can someone on campus this weekend confirm this?

Also, if you were being discussed in such a way by completely straight men (most of us anyway?) would be you flattered or creeped out? I say flattered.]

I thought everyone knew that?

Like chicks wearing suspenders is how lesbians ID each other in non-gay bars.

And arent sports in general a giant metaphor for sex? “Up and down” “in and out” “trying to score” “Tackle him” grunting and sweating in the gym, shower time, “end zone”, ass slaps, “shaft, head, ball”… it goes on

all this time I thought being into sports would help me in finding a guy!

This is actually an interesting topic

I’ve been with broads that are into sports and those that could care less. I tend to gravitate to ones that don’t care, but have also had a lot of fun with ones that do.

To each their own, I suppose.
