QUOTES OF THE DAY
“I am a huge college football fan, and I have a great view of Dudley Field from my house. When I read the article in The City Paper about Coach Caldwell not being on the mural, I thought it is like recording a CD without your name on the cover,” Rich said. “Nashvillians should welcome the new head football coach at Vanderbilt, and I wanted to help him put his face on Mt. Rush ‘Dore. I hope to meet the coach and some of his players sometime soon.”

“He’s got some burst now,” Fisher said. “(Earl Bennett) was a great combination of speed and power, but Jon’s got as much upper-end speed as anybody we’ve had.”

“He told me to not make any ‘Look out, Larry’ blocks, where the guy gets by me and I turn around and scream, ‘Look out, Larry!'”

RANDOM VIDEO OF THE DAY
In honor of today’s date (9/02/10), it would only be right to post 90210 videos. Remember when Color Me Badd appeared on an episode in season 2?
And one more bonus clip. The senior poll votes have been counted… and Steve Sanders ends up on the short end of the stick once again. Side note: I always loved it when the cast would win all of the awards at school functions, as if they were the only students in the class.
Click here to send in your submission for “Random Video of the Day” and I may post it in a future entry.
SONG OF THE DAY
Continuing the theme… one of my favorite TV show opens of all-time.
