Brendt Bedsole
Director of Operations
Brendt Bedsole is in his fifth season serving as South Alabama's director of football operations, and in the offseason he added the duties of recruiting coordinator to his responsibilities for the program.
In his role, Bedsole assists with many of the program's day-to-day activities including coordinating the budget, all aspects of travel and serving as USA's professional scout liaison. He also has responsibilities assisting with the scheduling of preseason camp and practices, clinics and community relations projects.
Last fall, as an assistant coach, Bedsole guided USA's outside linebackers. Under his direction, Clifton Crews collected a career-high 49 total tackles — a total that included five behind the line of scrimmage, and two sacks — while Maleki Harris added 20 to go along with a pair of forced fumbles. Bedsole was part of a defensive staff whose unit ended the year ranked second in the Sun Belt Conference in total yards allowed per game.
Bedsole came to the program after working the previous two years at Hoover (Ala.) High School as a teacher and assistant football coach. In 2007, when Bedsole served on the Buccaneer football staff, HHS reached the quarterfinals of the state 6A playoffs.
Prior to his tenure at the high school level, Bedsole spent nine years as an assistant coach at four universities. He was an assistant at Samford during the 2005 and '06 seasons — the Bulldogs finished .500 in Ohio Valley Conference action his first year on the staff — while working at fellow OVC member Murray State the previous four falls. While at MSU, Bedsole handled a variety of responsibilities, including coaching tight ends, outside linebackers, free safeties, defensive ends, and he was the program's special teams coordinator. The Racers won 22 games during his tenure, which included advancing to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 2002 after they tied for the league title with a 5-1 mark — MSU tied for second with a 6-2 OVC record in 2004 as well.
Dating back to his undergraduate days, Bedsole also served on Auburn's staff on three different occasions. He was a student assistant during the 1987 and '88 campaigns, later working as a graduate assistant in 1997 and again from 1999-00. In those five seasons, the Tigers played in the Sugar Bowl twice, the Florida Citrus Bowl and the Peach Bowl while compiling a 43-16-2 (72.1%) overall record and a 25-11-1 (68.9%) mark in the Southeastern Conference. AU won the league championship twice and added a pair of SEC West Division titles in his time with the program.
Bedsole also worked as an assistant at Trinity (Ala.) High School — serving as head junior varsity coach as well — in 1998.
He received his bachelor's degree from Auburn in 1989 and his master's degree from the school in 2000. Bedsole was a walk-on for the Tigers during the 1985 and '86 seasons, as they were 18-6 during that stretch while playing in both the Cotton and Citrus Bowls.
Bedsole — who was a corporate businessman from 1990-97 — and his wife Beth have a eight-year-old daughter, Sarah Catherine and one son, Wilson, who turned two this year.
Travis Pearson
Defensive Coordinator
Travis Pearson was hired prior to the start of spring practice, joining the University of South Alabama coaching staff to work with inside linebackers.
Pearson has been the defensive coordinator at Colquitt County (Ga.) High the last two seasons, helping the Packers to back-to-back semifinal appearances in the state AAAAA playoffs; the program posted an overall record of 21-7 during that span. Last fall CCHS recorded 51 takeaways en route to an 11-3 finish, while in Pearson's first year on the staff the unit forced 38 turnovers, returning eight of those for scores.
He was the head coach and athletic director at Jefferson Davis High School in Montgomery during the 2009 and '10 campaigns, and also has been a head coach at Elmore County (Ala.) High (2002-04) — where he was selected the Metro 4A Coach of the Year by the Montgomery Advertiser after guiding the Panthers to a 12-1 mark and the quarterfinals of the state playoffs his final year — and Central Hayneville (Ala.) High (1998-99). Pearson helped guide the latter to a berth in the state 4A playoffs his second season at the helm of the program.
He was an assistant at Elmore County H.S. for two years prior to becoming the Panthers' head coach, and was the defensive coordinator for two seasons at Oxford (Ala.) High, where the Yellow Jackets to back-to-back state playoff appearances; after OHS qualified for postseason action at the 5A level in 2005, the school made the playoffs again the following fall in the 6A classification. Pearson was selected to serve as a defensive coordinator in the 2004 Alabama North/South All-Star Game, and worked at football camps conducted by the staff at Auburn for five years.
Pearson served as director of football operations at Iowa State during the 2007 and '08 seasons as well.
A 1997 graduate of Alabama State with a degree in physical education, he was a three-year letterwinner for the Hornets. He would go on to play eight seasons in the Arena Football League for three teams, and was selected to the league's 15th Anniversary Team in 2003.
Pearson and his wife Maria have three children: daughter Marissa (12), and sons Travis II (10) and Trevor (8).
Robert Matthews
Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks
Robert Matthews has seven years of collegiate coaching experience at the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision level as he enters his second season as South Alabama's offensive coordinator. In addition to those duties, he will once again work with the Jaguar offensive line.
Under his direction, the Jag offense set school records during the 2012 campaign in completions (244), passing yards (2,728), yards per game through the air (209.8) and first downs (252). Ross Metheny set a new school season mark with 189 completions while becoming the first USA quarterback to surpass 2,000 yards passing — he would finish with 2,148 while ranking in the top 10 in both passing and total offense yards per outing. Three Jaguar wide receivers would finish among the top five on the program's season record list for both catches and receiving yards as well, highlighted by the performance of Jeremé Jones, who finished with 45 receptions for 513 yards and a school-record seven touchdown catches.
And, in the classroom, starting center Trey Clark became the first USA football player to earn Academic All-America accolades.
Prior to joining the USA staff, Matthews was part of the Southern Mississippi staff for two seasons, serving as tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2011 while helping the Golden Eagles to a 12-2 finish and the 2011 Conference USA championship. USM defeated then sixth-ranked Houston 49-28 in the C-USA title game, then earned a 24-17 victory over Nevada in the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl; the Golden Eagles would also beat Western Athletic Conference champion Louisiana Tech and bowl participant Virginia while ranking in the top 20 nationally in both scoring (15th, 36.86 points per game) and total (16th, 461.36 ypg) offense.
USM averaged better than 200 yards per outing both rushing and passing in 2011, which included collecting a league-best 205.14 yards per contest on the ground. It was the second straight season that the Golden Eagles recorded better than 200 yards per game rushing and passing; in Matthews' first year on the staff — he served as a staff assistant working with the offensive line — USM posted a then school-record 5,894 total yards while accomplishing the feat. The Golden Eagles would participate in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl and end the campaign with eight victories.
Matthews served in various roles the previous four seasons at Oklahoma State, where he was part of a staff that guided the Cowboys to four bowls games during that span. As the program's quarterbacks coach in 2009, Matthews helped OSU to a 9-4 record — which included a 6-2 mark in the Big XII Conference — and a berth in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. He was the Cowboys' director of recruiting in both 2007 and '08, and served as OSU's coordinator of football operations in his first year with the program; while in the former role, Matthews' responsibilities included directing the school's walk-on program as well as other internal operations.
During his tenure on the Cowboy staff Matthews worked with a pair of future National Football League quarterbacks, Zac Robinson and Brandon Weeden, with the latter chosen in the first round of the 2012 draft by the Cleveland Browns.
He earned his bachelor's degree in exercise science from Georgia, adding a master's degree from the school in science education. Matthews played three seasons for the Bulldogs, and in addition to being part of Outback and Peach Bowl champion squads he was named to the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll on three occasions.
Before moving to the collegiate level, Matthews was tight ends coach and special teams coordinator at Oconee (Ga.) High in 1999, Camden County (Ga.) High's wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator the following fall and offensive coordinator at North Gwinnett (Ga.) High for two seasons from 2001-02. He also served three seasons as head coach at Shiloh (Ga.) High, where in addition to guiding the program to postseason berths in the state's highest classification he played a key role in a facility upgrade for the school that included a new strength center, locker room and coaches' offices.
His wife, the former Laura Henderson, was a member of the Canadian national golf team for over 10 years, going on to play collegiately at Georgia prior to coaching the women's golf team at both UGA and Oklahoma State. The couple's first child, Lilly, turned one in April.
Freddie Roach
Defensive Ends/Outside Linebackers
Freddie Roach joined the University of South Alabama football staff to work with Jaguar defensive ends and outside linebackers following the 2012 season.
Roach comes to USA from Murray State, where he was the Racers' defensive line coach while assisting with the strength and conditioning program last season. In 2011, he coached the defensive line and was the director of strength and conditioning at East Mississippi C.C., helping lead the Lions to a 12-0 record and the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship. For their efforts, EMCC was selected the national coaching staff of the year.
Roach spent three seasons as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Alabama, during which time the Crimson Tide won both the BCS national championship and Southeastern Conference title in 2009. Following the '09 campaign, he was part of a staff that was selected the National Strength Staff of the Year.
He has also served as a volunteer assistant coach at Brooks (Ala.) High during the 2006 campaign, where he coached linebackers, cornerbacks and wide receivers.
As a player, Roach was a four-year letterwinner for the Crimson Tide from 2002-05, during which time he was named the national Freshman of the Year, a Freshman All-American, and was twice selected second-team all-SEC. He would go on to be selected to Alabama's All-Decade Team for the 2000s while helping the program to three bowl appearances, also signing as a free agent with the New England Patriots in 2006. Roach graduated from the school with a degree in human environmental sciences in 2008.
Tim Bowens
Wide Receivers
Tim Bowens enters his first season as wide receivers coach at the University of South Alabama, although he has extensive experience at the NCAA Division I level in the state.
Bowens joins the Jaguar program after spending the last two seasons as wide receivers coach at Samford, where his efforts helped the 2013 Bulldog squad become the school's first to earn a berth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs since 1992.
SU led the Southern Conference last fall in both passing (292.8 ypg) and total (415.6 ypg) offense as three of Bowens' wideouts were among the top six in receiving yards per game. Under his direction, Kelsey Pope caught 68 passes for 789 yards to earn first-team all-league honors from both the league's coaches and media panel — he would end the year the school's career record holder with 250 receptions — while Karel Hamilton was voted first-team Freshman All-American and to the conference's All-Freshman Team after adding 38 catches for 657 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns.
The effort helped the Bulldogs claim a share of their first SoCon championship since joining the league in 2008 and record a top-20 finish in both The Sports Network and coaches' polls, going 8-5 overall and 6-2 in conference action.
In his first season at Samford, Bowens helped Pope earn all-conference accolades after ending up in the top five in the league in receptions and receiving yards per game.
Bowens also coached wide receivers at UAB for five years, where he helped Frantrell Forrest reach second on the Blazers' all-time receptions list. Prior to that, he was wide receivers coach at Alabama in 2006; that was the last of a four-year stretch on the Crimson Tide staff during which time he also was in roles as assistant director of operations and director of high school/NFL relations. While with the 'Bama program, more than 30 Crimson Tide players were picked up by NFL squads and 25 were chosen to play in postseason All-Star games.
He was a wide receiver at Alabama from 1996-99 — making the Academic All-Southeastern Conference Team his senior year — helping the Crimson Tide to three bowl games and a pair of appearances in the SEC Championship contest. During that time 'Bama had a pair of 10-win seasons and twice won the league's West Division title, going on to play in the Orange Bowl Bowens' senior year after defeating Florida in the SEC title game.
After the conclusion of his playing career, Bowens served as a student assistant on the Tide staff in the spring of 2000. The next two years he was the offensive coordinator at Coffee (Ala.) High School before moving on to be head coach at Tanner (Ala.) High; the Decatur Daily named him the Limestone County Coach of the Year in 2002.
Bowens — who earned his degree from Alabama in 2000 — and his wife, Kesha, have three sons; Timothy, Taylor and Tanner.
Brian Turner
Recruiting Coordinator/Defensive Line Coach
Brian Turner begins his sixth year on the South Alabama football staff, as he will work this fall with defensive tackles.
He worked with the entire defensive line prior to spring practice, and in that role he helped Alex Page earn second-team all-Sun Belt Conference honors following the 2012 campaign. Page was honored after posting career highs with 64 total tackles, 11.5 stops for loss and six sacks — he ranked among the top 10 in the league in the latter two categories — while as a group Turner's unit contributed 18 of the team's 24 sacks a year ago. Pat Moore also finished among the top 15 in the league in tackles for loss (nine) and sacks (4.5), while five linemen ended the season with at least 20 stops.
The group played a key role in helping the Jags rank second in the Sun Belt in total defense.
Jaguar defensive linemen combined to post 30 of the team's 67 tackles for loss in 2010 as USA completed a second straight undefeated season, with Romelle Jones pacing the squad with six, Randon Carnathan and Anthony Taylor supplying five each, and Andy Dalgleish and Montavious Williams collecting four apiece; Jones and Taylor would lead the group overall with both posting 19 total stops. Turner's unit also broke up eight passes, recovered four fumbles and blocked two kicks as USA allowed only 81.2 yards rushing, 254.6 total yards and 13 points per contest.
The previous fall, 11 of Turner's players combined to account for 18 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, helping the Jaguar defense allow under 235 yards and seven points per game while going 7-0 in the school's inaugural season. Three USA defensive linemen — Taylor, Williams and Jones — paced the group after posting double-figure tackle totals, with Taylor tying for fourth on the squad with four stops for loss.
In 2011, Jones led the Jags for the second consecutive season with seven stops for loss, while Williams added five and Dalgleish four in helping USA surrender less than 150 yards per outing on the ground while ranking 16th in the country at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision level in total defense at 309.7 yards per contest.
As the program's recruiting coordinator, Turner's efforts assisted the Jags in putting together signing classes to help add to the talent level and depth in the program. That has included inking multiple players ranked among the best at their position by Scout, Inc., as well as numerous individuals who have helped their high schools to state championships and deep postseason runs.
Before coming to Mobile, Turner had worked the previous five years on the coaching staff at Sun Belt Conference rival Troy. In addition to serving as recruiting coordinator, he spent his last season as coach of the defensive ends after working with the safeties in 2006. A guard and center for the Trojans in the mid-1990s, Turner previously worked with the offense, focusing primarily on tight ends and wide receivers.
In five years with the program, Troy compiled a 33-27 (55%) mark overall while going 20-8 (71.4%) in Sun Belt action. The Trojans earned invitations to a pair of bowl games — they were an at-large participant in the 2004 Silicon Valley Bowl, and they defeated Rice 41-17 in the 2006 New Orleans Bowl after receiving the bid as SBC champion — while winning league titles in each of his last two years.
During Turner's playing career, the Trojans posted a 31-6-1 (82.9%) record, including the school's first perfect regular-season (11-0) in 1995. In 1993, Troy advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs with victories over Stephen F. Austin and McNeese State, while the 1994 and 1995 squads qualified for postseason play as well.
A native of Fort Meade, Fla., Turner began his coaching career as the tight ends coach at Dothan (Ala.) High in 1996. After three seasons on the Tiger staff, he served as a graduate assistant at Troy from 1999-01. The Trojans recorded a winning record all three seasons, posting a 28-8 (77.8%) mark in that span including a 13-1 (92.9%) record in Southland Football League action. Troy won the conference championship in both 1999 and '00 before moving up to the NCAA Division I-A level his final year; the Trojans advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs his first season as a graduate assistant while participating in postseason play the following fall as well.
His first full-time appointment at the collegiate level came in 2002, when he spent a year as offensive line coach at North Alabama before returning to Troy.
Turner joined his brother John on the USA football staff, making South Alabama one of the few programs at the NCAA Division I-A (Football Bowl Subdivision) level with brothers patrolling the same sideline. Their father, Blaine, played football at University of Tampa and later coached at the high-school level for 30 years.
Turner completed his bachelor's degree in social science in 2000. He is married to the former Kristi Jernigan, an All-American basketball player at West Florida who was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame; the couple has one daughter, Bryce (5).
Robby Brown
Running Backs
With experience playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference and as a coordinator at a pair of NCAA levels, Robby Brown was added to the University of South Alabama football staff as running backs coach in February.
Last fall Brown was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Northwestern (La.) State, where he guided a Demon offense that averaged nearly 400 total yards per contest including over 230 per outing through the air. NSU led the Southland Conference and ranked among the top 10 at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision in both fumbles and turnovers lost, while his efforts helped quarterback Zach Adkins rank in the top 30 in the country in passing yards per game, passing touchdowns and completion percentage en route to being named the league's Newcomer of the Year.
The Demons recorded 226 yards and three scores passing in a victory over nationally-ranked Central Arkansas, while also posting 490 yards of total offense against eventual conference champion and No. 4 seed in the FCS playoff bracket, Southeastern Louisiana.
The previous fall, Brown was offensive coordinator at Valdosta (Ga.) State, where his unit averaged 469 yards and 40 points per game on the way to claiming the NCAA Division II national championship. In addition to ranking ninth in the country in scoring and 13th in total offense, his efforts helped the Blazers pace the Gulf South Conference in every major statistical category; VSU had both the league's Offensive Player and Freshman of the Year, with nine individuals earning all-conference honors and five named to the all-region team.
He joined the Blazer staff in 2009, helping Cedric Jones set the GSC all-time receptions record, and just one year later the team was among the top 25 nationally in both passing and total offense. Three individuals would earn All-America recognition on five occasions his last two years guiding the VSU offense.
Brown has also been the offensive coordinator at Southwest Baptist and Henderson (Ark.) State. At the former, his players set 29 school and six Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association records while Nick Smart broke the all-divisions standard with 143 catches in a season. At the latter, Brown helped the Reddies rank third in the country in passing and 18th in total offense while setting 12 school records; he had an All-American and two all-Gulf South selections in his unit.
He began his coaching career at Troy in 2005, and in his second year on the staff the Trojans won the Sun Belt Conference title before capping the season with a 41-17 win over Rice in the New Orleans Bowl.
Brown played quarterback for two years at Georgia Tech, helping the Yellow Jackets to a pair of winning seasons and postseason bowl victories, earning his degree from the school in history, technology and society in 2004. He received his master's degree in sports and fitness management from Troy in 2007 as well.
Brown and his wife Rachel have one daughter, Parks.
Mike Adams
Inside Linebackers
After helping South Carolina State post a winning record in seven of eight seasons, four conference championships and a quartet of NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs berths, Mike Adams came to the University of South Alabama in February and will work with Jaguar inside linebackers.
Adams joined the SCSU staff in 2006 as defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator — he was promoted to defensive coordinator two seasons later — and would help the Bulldogs record a 64-30 (68.1%) overall mark while going 52-12 (81.3%) in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference action. SCSU won two outright (2008 and '09) league championships and shared two others ('10 and '13) during that span, while he helped 13 individuals earn all-MEAC accolades.
And, his efforts aided five former Bulldogs in reaching the National Football League: Phillip Adams, Rafael Bush, Dominique Ellis, Marshall McFadden and Christian Thompson.
Adams led a unit during the 2013 campaign that topped the FCS level in total (238 ypg) and pass efficiency (92.35 rating) defense, also ranking second against the run (90.9 ypg) and pass (147.1 ypg) and third in scoring defense (15.2 ppg). The Bulldogs ended a two-year postseason drought, claiming a share of the MEAC crown while finishing 9-4 on the season including a 7-1 record in the conference.
SCSU was first in the country in pass defense, second in total and pass efficiency defense, and fourth against the run and in scoring defense en route to a 9-3 mark and a playoff appearance in 2010. The previous fall — while going 10-2 with an undefeated league record — Adams guided a unit that ranked in the top 10 nationally in four of those categories; the Bulldogs were 11th in pass defense as well that year. SCSU also won 10 contests and was undefeated in MEAC play in 2008 while allowing just 17 points per outing, a figure that was seventh in the nation.
Adams is a 1998 Ball State graduate — earning a degree in sport administration — where he served as a student assistant during the 1997 season. The next three years he was an assistant at St. Joseph's (Ind.), where after his first season on staff he made the move from working with wide receivers and running backs to guiding Puma defensive backs.
Prior to joining the SCSU staff, Adams served as defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at West Georgia.
He is married to the former Natasha Taylor, and the couple have one son, Nataysuan.
John Turner
Tight Ends
A member of the South Alabama coaching staff since the program's first year, assistant coach John Turner begins his second season working with Jaguar tight ends in the fall after four years guiding the offensive line.
Last fall Turner's efforts helped Jag tight ends become a more significant factor in the USA passing game as Was Saxton (23 catches, 336 yards, 1 TD) and Greg Hollinger (22 catches, 321 yards, 2 TDs) became the first two individuals at the position to record double-digit reception totals in the same season.
In the program's first-ever season, Turner's unit played a key role in helping the Jaguars average better than 45 points and nearly 440 yards per outing. The offensive line cleared the way for USA running backs to record an average of more than six yards per carry, while the passing game accounted for over 170 yards per contest as the group surrendered just seven sacks in seven games. Five Jag linemen recorded five knockdown blocks per game or more, including two — Jon Griffin and Chris Brunson — who paced the group with 55 and 53 pancakes, respectively.
In 2010, the offensive line was just as effective as USA averaged more than 41 points and nearly 440 yards per game while winning all 10 outings. The unit helped the Jaguars collect more than 200 yards per game both on the ground and through the air, and it allowed just 12 sacks despite missing the services of a pair of upperclassmen for multiple games. Both Griffin and Trey Clark were credited with better than seven pancake blocks per contest, with six individuals reaching double digits in the category.
The Jaguars averaged better than 325 yards and nearly 25 points per contest last year against an upgraded schedule that featured the first two NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision opponents in school history, while the unit's pass-blocking efforts helped USA quarterbacks throw for better than 170 yards per contest. Seven lineman were credited with at least 10 knockdown blocks on the season, while off the field Clark became the first member of the program to earn national academic honors after he was named to the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team.
A native of Fort Meade, Fla., Turner served as offensive line coach at Chattanooga beginning in 2003 and was promoted to assistant head coach following the 2005 season. His line units surrendered less than a sack per game on average over his last three years and he produced a trio of all-Southern Conference selections — tackle Josh Shinpaugh in 2005, guard Justin Matherson in 2006 and center Garrett Windham in '07.
Turner went to UTC after one season at Western Carolina. He has also had collegiate coaching stops at Clemson as a graduate assistant for Tommy Bowden in 2001 and at Auburn in 1997 and '98, when he was offensive line and special teams assistant under Terry Bowden. AU won the SEC West and defeated Clemson in the Peach Bowl his first year with the program, while Clemson went 7-5 and defeated Louisiana Tech 49-24 in the Humanitarian Bowl in his lone season with the program. CU spent eight weeks in the national rankings, with the highlight of its season a 47-44 overtime victory at then-No. 9 Georgia Tech.
A 1988 graduate of Jacksonville State with a degree in physical education, Turner was a standout offensive lineman for the Gamecocks in 1986 and 1987. JSU finished 5-4-1 in each of his two seasons as a letterwinner.
He began his coaching career immediately as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, working with a team that reached the NCAA Division II quarterfinals. The Gamecocks ended that season 10-2 overall, and they went 7-1 in Gulf South Conference play to tie for the league championship — JSU would defeat West Chester 63-24 for the school's first postseason victory in six years.
Turner also has ties to the high school ranks in the state, coaching at Daleville High School (1989-93), Dothan High School (1994-96) and UMS-Wright Prep (1999-00). In just his second season on the staff, Daleville High advanced to the second round of the state 4A playoffs before falling 27-21 in double overtime to the eventual runner-up. After a two-point loss in the second round to the same school the following fall — this time, the opposition would go on to earn the title — his DHS team won the state championship in 1992 and advanced to the state finals in 1993.
Dothan HS advanced to the state 6A playoffs in his final year on the staff as well, while his efforts helped UMS-Wright win a pair of postseason contests to make the quarterfinals of the 4A bracket in each of his two seasons with the school.
Turner has coaching in his heritage as his father, Blaine, is a retired head coach in the Florida high school ranks, while his brother Brian is also on the USA staff.
While at Auburn, Turner earned his master's degree in physical education in 1998. He and his wife Kim have one son, Walker Wilson (6).
Justin Schwind
Strength & Conditioning Coach
Justin Schwind, who previously had worked with head coach Joey Jones at Birmingham-Southern, is beginning his fifth season on the South Alabama staff as the program's head strength and conditioning coach.
In his role, Schwind is responsible for designing and implementing football's strength and conditioning program, supervising the day-to-day operation of the football weight room and overseeing a staff that includes two full-time assistants as well as graduate and student assistants. He also assisted in the design of the weight room facility that is part of the program's $10 million field house.
His efforts with the Jaguar football program led to his being named the 2011 NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year by Samson Equipment. Schwind was one of nine individuals recognized by the company, which honors recipients each year including strength and conditioning coaches from the National Football League, all college divisions and a pair of high school coaches.
Schwind also works directly with the school's men's golf team, and he has a hand in supervising the strength and conditioning programs for each of USA's 17 sports.
He was at BSC for two years as the school's head strength and conditioning coach, where he was responsible for working with all 21 programs. In addition to maintaining a schedule for both teams as well as his student assistant staff, Schwind supervised the day-to-day operations of three weight rooms — he was responsible for helping to design one of those as well.
Schwind earned his bachelor's degree in exercise science from Texas State in 2004, getting his start in the profession as a student assistant for the school as he worked primarily with the Bobcats' baseball and football teams. After serving as a strength and conditioning intern at Rice, where he also assisted with neuroscience research at Baylor's College of Medicine on a study involving athletic performance and visualization, he would go on to work as a graduate assistant for two years at Mississippi State. While in Starkville, he designed and maintained strength and conditioning programs for MSU's track and field, women's soccer, and men's and women's golf teams.
He would earn his master's degree from Mississippi State in physical education in 2007.
Schwind is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA), United States Weightlifting Association (USAW) and the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), and has received his crossfit football certification as well.
He was married to the former Erin Boles on May 18, 2013.
Chase Smith
Offensive Line
Chase Smith is in his third year on the South Alabama football coaching staff, beginning his first season as a full-time coach as he will assist with the Jaguar offensive line this fall.
Last year, Smith was the program's director of football operations, while he was a graduate assistant coach helping with the offensive line during the 2011 campaign. That season, the Jags — who were in the first of a two-year transition to the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision level — recorded a 6-4 mark against what was then the toughest schedule in program history.
He received his bachelor's degree in 2005 and master's degree in '08, both in physical education, from Jacksonville State, gaining extensive experience coaching at the high school level in Alabama after earning the first. He began as an assistant working with offensive and defensive linemen on the freshman team at Spain Park High in the fall of '05, moving on to Greenville HS to work with running backs a year later —the Tigers would finish 10-3 while advancing to the quarterfinals of the state 5A playoffs that season.
Smith then joined the staff at Spanish Fort High, where he worked with running backs in 2007, the defensive line from 2008-09 and the offensive line in '10. During his time on the Toro staff, SFHS put together a 39-13 (75%) mark culminating with the state 5A championship in Smith's final year with the program. The Toros went 11-2 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs in 2008, reached the semifinals of the state playoffs the following fall while putting together an 11-3 record prior to winning the title. Smith served as offensive coordinator that year as well, which SFHS ended with a 13-2 mark.
Mark Hewes
Director of Player Personnel
Mark Hewes has been a member of the South Alabama football support staff since the 2009 season; after serving as an equipment assistant as both an undergraduate and graduate student, he begins his third year as the Jaguars' director of player personnel.
Hewes' responsbilities include supervising the academic standing and progress of football student-athletes through daily collaboration with Athletic Academic Services, monitoring the APR of the football program, providing daily assistance in regards to student housing, and managing the walk-on program. In addition, Hewes serves as USA's liaison for high school relations, assists with camps, and provides community relations.
His efforts helped the program have 52 individuals record a 3.0 grade-point average or better in at least one semester during the 2011-12 academic year, while 18 Jaguars ended the spring semester with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
As a student equipment manager and a graduate assistant, Hewes was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the football equipment room. Those duties included the preparation, distribution and maintenance of team apparel and equipment. Hewes provided inventory levels, assisted with the purchase of apparel and equipment, developed annual budgets, and oversaw the student manager's hours and responsibilities. His efforts helped the Jaguars record back-to-back undefeated seasons, which included a combined 17-0 record.
Prior to coming to USA, Hewes previously served three years as an athletic marketing intern at UAB from 2000-03. In that role, he was responsible for the development and implementation of marketing plans for the men's and women's soccer and baseball programs. In addition, he assisted with the planning and coordination of all football and men's and women's basketball marketing and advertising plans, game day activities and promotions. Hewes was also responsible for membership initiatives, as well as design and layout of the Junior Blazer Kids' Club newsletters.
Hewes received his bachelor's degree from USA in 2010 and is currently pursuing his master's degree in communication. Hewes is a member of the Lambda Pi Eta National Communication Honor Society (2010) and is currently a member of the Athletic Equipment Managers Association (AEMA).
Hewes — who was a corporate account executive from 2003-09 — and his wife Amy have two daughters, Ella Kate (9) and Morgan (5). They reside in Daphne, Ala.
Jeff Bailey
Equipment Operations Manager
Jeff Bailey is in his sixth season as USA's equipment operations manager. In his role, Bailey is responsible for fitting and ordering all equipment — including practice and game uniforms, helmets, shoulder pads, shoes and cleats — for the football program. He is in charge of maintaining inventory levels and projecting future equipment needs, assists in coordinating the Jaguars' practice and game day itinerary, and oversees the program's staff of student managers.
He came to South Alabama after serving as the equipment manager and director of football operations at Prattville High School since August 2003, where he worked for former Jaguar assistant coach Bill Clark. At PHS his responsibilities included ordering, organizing and distributing equipment for more than 200 student-athletes on the varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams, maintaining facilities and grounds, supervising the Lions' managers and ball boys, organizing travel arrangements and organizing public events for fund raising.
Prior to working at PHS, Bailey served as the recreation coordinator for the City of Prattville Parks and Recreation Department for six years, where he assisted in managing the city's recreation program. He also served as equipment manager for the Montgomery Biscuits, the Double A Minor League affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, during the summer of 2005.
A baseball player at Huntingdon (Ala.) College in 1983, Bailey and his wife Jan have five sons; Justin (26), Jarrett (24) — a four-year pitcher for the Jaguar baseball team — Codey Owens (21), and twins Travis and Trevor Owens (16).

Man pleads guilty in investment scam
NEW HAVEN — A man accused of running a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme through a Connecticut company has pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges.
Federal prosecutors say 62-year-old Garrett Denniston cheated more than 50 people out of more than $2.5 million through a company called ConsensusOne. Instead of investing the victims' money, he used it for business and personal expenses such as ski outings and country club memberships.

Currently you can buy Paula's Choice products directly from this site and a few top-rated products from other brands are available via links to affiliate websites. We review and recommend products from other brands because we are dedicated to helping you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or other lines.
Paula's Choice products are formulated using the same exacting standards we use to review products from other brands.
You have chosen to add to your My Faves.
Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
Although this product does exfoliate skin, it lacks a prime selection of state-of-the-art ingredients. NeoStrata Canada did include a helping of antioxidant plant oils and extracts, but they could have included larger amounts to address the dry skin problems characteristic of the eye area.More to the point, there is nothing in this formula that makes it preferred for the eye area; in fact, the gluconolactone and the low pH of this product may cause stinging if used around the eyes, but that is more of an individual response than a guaranteed reaction.
We know it's hard to believe, but the truth is you don't need an eye cream. Although there is much you can do to improve the skin around your eyes, the ingredients capable of doing that don't need to come from, and often aren't even included in, an eye cream (such as sunscreen, which this product doesn't contain). To exfoliate in the eye area, you can simply apply the same exfoliant you use on your face, taking care to not apply it too close to the eye itself and never on the eyelids.
Bottom line: You can save money and take superior care of your eye area by using your face product, if it is well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes!
Especially formulated for the delicate eye contour area to gently reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Water, Gluconolactone, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Cetyl Ricinoleate, Propylene Glycol, Steareth-2, Steareth-21, Cetearyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Dimethicone, Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Evening Primrose Oil, Propylene Glycol Hydroxystearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Methylparaben, Avocado Oil, Chlorphenesin, Grape Seed Oil, Arginine, BHT, Disodium EDTA, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Propylparaben, Sodium Hyaluronate
NeoStrata Canada is not associated in any way with the NeoStrata brand sold in the United States, and the product selections are completely different. We asked NeoStrata Canada's owner, Canderma Pharma, Inc., why many of the products are completely different, but no one would tell us, so it remains a mystery.
What NeoStrata Canada and the U.S.-sold NeoStrata products do have in common is an abundance of well-formulated AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) exfoliants at effective concentrations and at the correct pH levels. The prices are all over the place, but for the most part you can be assured that any AHA product you purchase from NeoStrata Canada will exfoliate your skin and provide additional benefits such as improved skin texture and tone.
Exfoliants are both lines' key selling point, but they're not perfect. For example, the AHA products with sunscreen do not provide enough critical UVA protection (meaning they lack the UVA-protecting active ingredients of avobenzone, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, Tinsorb, ecamsule, or Mexoryl SX). That lack is a disappointment for those who were hoping that an AHA plus sunscreen would be a convenience.
NeoStrata Canada has several other intriguing products that include impressive ingredients such as peptides, retinol, vitamin C, and the company's patented AHA alternative, the polyhydroxy acid known as gluconolactone. Despite including some great ingredients, the formulas suffer from the inclusion of irritants (alcohol is a big one) and/or packaging that won't keep the beneficial ingredients stable during use.
The serums with vitamin C are worth a look, if you're curious about vitamin C. However, you'd do better looking for vitamin C in a product that also treats your skin to a variety of beneficial ingredients because one antioxidant is never enough; your skin requires much more (just like your diet) to be healthy so it can look and act younger.
Because NeoStrata Canada's products are not associated with the NeoStrata brand sold in the United States, our team called NeoStrata Canada's customer service to get additional consumer information about their products. Unfortunately, NeoStrata Canada's customer service phone number was perpetually set to voicemail, and our numerous messages (all left as regular customers, not as investigators) were never returned. After two weeks, the one email reply we did get in response to a question concerning active ingredients said simply that they couldn't give us any information. Their solution was to tell us that we would have to locate the product on store shelves to answer our own question. Either our question was too probing or NeoStrata Canada's strength is not customer service.
For more information about NeoStrata Canada, call (800) 636-3664 or visit www.neostrata.ca.
Note: All prices are in Canadian currency.
I have been using this product for one year and 4 months now religiously, twice or more a day for the sole purpose of smoothing out the tiny wrinkels under my eyes and helping the dry skin (I am only 22). If this product did not work on someone as young as myself with very fine tiny wrinkles then it would most likely not work on anyone older. Very disappointed but will continue to use it until it is gone due to the price that I had paid for it.

Up days turning into binge days
I was worried this would happen. I kept it low carb at first, and felt very in control. However, it was hard to eat the amount of calories I need for up days (1800) so I started eating junk (how does that make sense?) Anyway, I do not feel in control nor do I feel healthy. Also, I kind of feel like I need to eat a lot on up days because down days are so restrictive. Some general info: I have lost weight and have only been at this for six days. I track and weigh every morsel that I consume. This is my rotation: 1816/363 at 20% w/ no exercise. So, it is working, it just feels very...stressful?
Any advice? I'm going back to counting carbs in addition to calories, maybe try and introduce them more slowly?

I introduced very slowly so i think thats a good idea. There are a lot of people who get on junk binges at first with JUDDD and then usually you get over it pretty quickly. I didnt really have any binges but i did go crazy with some junk at first and now its like i know i can have it so its not that big of an issue. I am eating more carbs now but i pick and chose them and they more healthy carbs and maybe just one crazy unhealthy carb every few days. I went from eating lowcarb for 7yrs so this has been huge for me so going slowly really helped me. I say if you feel that bad and unhealthy about it but are still losing then you know you can incorporate carbs and be ok just pick and chose what kind of carbs. If you need to up your calories without using tons of junk try adding evoo when you are cooking or to your salad or using coconut oil. Some good fats will help up the calories pretty quickly. Or a serving of almonds or mixed nuts with some cheese.
This woe is all about you feeling wonderful so listen to your body. Maybe you wont have to count carbs just pick healthier carbs and continue counting calories.
Good luck you are doing great!!!

The first few weeks were kinda like that for me too. I think having been on LC for years makes it feel like you won the lottery! I always tracked even through all the junk food. (500 calories for a cookie!? Pretty damn good cookie!) Anyhow, it's been a little over a month for me now and things have really calmed down. Like Shelly said, now that you can have it, it becomes less of a big deal. Sometimes I think....I CAN HAVE A POTATO! Well, I wait until my UD so I can put all the junk in it that I like, I count the calories and feel like I gave myself a delicious treat! Be patient with yourself and your cravings will calm down. For me, this WOE was about not cutting anything out anymore. I needed a balance (and bread), and I knew after reading hundreds and hundreds of posts I could find it here.
Maybe up those DD calories a bit so they aren't so stressful for you. My calculations have me eating less than 400 but I tend to stay right around 500. It's funny how a 150 calories make such a difference.
You are doing great! I know things will mellow out for you soon!

My suggestion, since you are only just starting JUDDD, is to make your DD number 500. Trying to go so low when you are just starting is going to feel torturous. Plus, there's no need...the good doctor tells us so for the first 2 weeks. 500 will work. They will feel more tolerable. Then after two weeks, natural appetite suppression should start to kick in and you will find it much easier (most of the time, anyway) to eat to a lower DD number if you want to.
I also think you are right to go back and keep it LC for a while. If it helps you to control binge-like activity, then I'm all for it. We can help you with suggestions of how to up your intake on UDs without feeling like you *have* to resort to junk. After a time on JUDDD, your way of thinking about food will actually change...your brain will realize that you really can have *some* cake (for example) for the rest of your life, so that you don't have to have *all* of the cake today. If that makes sense, lol.
I'm starting you a list of LC, high-calorie UD foods:
Coconut oil
Ground beef (think: cheeseburgers)
Fattier cuts of beef
Cream cheese
Heavy cream in your coffee
I'm sure others can kick in more ideas for you, too.
Keep posting...we'll give you all the support you need!

elle, I quite worried about binging on up days as well. I am fairly suggestable and when I first starting my weight loss journey, I pretended that I had had WLS and had no choice but to eat Lowcarb/lean protein. It worked for me.
Now with this WOE, I have really thought about how the UDs are as much of a tool as the DDs. Those are your renourishment days, so you need to make good choices for the most part. Today will be a bit of a treat day for me because of SB Sunday, but for the most part I make UDs yummy, but good for me foods. Good luck!

Great advice already given to you, so I echo it.
Yes, add carbs back slowly, and make them the healthier, whole ones, at least at first.
A couple slices of good bread to make a meat/cheese/veggie sandwich, and that bread, depending on type, can easily add 100 calories and more.
Along with your LC meal, you could try a baked potato loaded down with all the goods, like butter, melted cheese, sour cream.
Make your DDs 500. After what you've been eating, that will feel marvelously freeing, and even go a bit higher if you really need it.
Started JUDDD 10/12/11 after LC.
MAINTENANCE since 11/12/11, & have lost more weight. I shake things up all the time with my version of Pirate Jenny's MUDDD, my "Fast 5" & other IF. ...low-moderate fat....and eating "healthy" foods 75+% of the time which lets me have real life and indulgences too I've reached my goals, improved my health & appearance, and enjoy my lifetime woe!

I am still kind of doing this but I think it's a mindset too. When I eat something high carb, I automatically FEEL like I've binged or been "bad" bc I've got that in my head now. I'm GLAD I low carbed and can recognize sugar in things like bread where I didn't see it before. But that doesn't mean if I have a couple of slices of bread, I'm being bad. (at least not on JUDDD). I don't know my up calories but I'd guess it's really not as bad as I think it is...I've been maintaining a nice weight
My suggestion would be to start off with a nice satisfying breakfast on your UDs. I find UDs when I don't do that are much worse...
Good luck and consider it PRACTISE!!!

Thanks guys! You're all so helpful and understanding. I was stressing out because
I can get a little obsessive with weight loss and each day felt a little extreme...eat eat eat! Fast fast fast! But, I do need more time to adjust. Also, I have nothing but bad experiences from my weight watchers days and I didn't want this to be like that.
Some more questions:
If I raise my dd to 500, do I keep my up day the same? (1800)
I'm less hungry w/ LC so, if I don't eat 1800 on my UD, should I try to eat more?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions!

Hmm...1800 seems a little high to me. I'm almost 5'8 and that is my maintainence up day? (and I do exercise) You are only 5'1...when I use the calculator w/your height, I get 1600 calories. So my answer to your question is "no" - if you don't feel like eating to 1800 then don't!
As to the 500 DDs, I'm not sure bc I've never gone below that. If I do go below, then I get into "don't want to eat until I'm passing out" mode...and I prefer not to go there!

I do this LC and I don't always hit my 1500 UD number. I don't believe in forcing myself to eat when I'm not hungry just to hit a number. I do try to get as close as I can by adding things like coconut oil to my UDs.

does the calculator you used ask for age? I'm 22 so I think it thinks my metabolism can handle more calories.

Something one of the other posters said recently really resonated with me. It was along the lines that our Up Days are where we practice "normal" eating for eventual maintenance. Not dieting. Not feasting and treating oneself. Normal eating.
Maybe it hit home to me because I can't remember when I EVER felt like I could eat "normally". I've always been either on a diet, rebounding from a failed diet and binging, or preparing to start another diet.
The idea that the UD is a "normal" day (rather than the "feast" day I initially treated it as) has really changed how I face my UDs. And I find that I don't binge on UDs like I did at the beginning. It has really evened out now.

You've written here: ".....Up days turning into binge days. I was worried this would happen....."
The best way to solve this problem is to follow JUDDD.
That is, actually do JUDDD as a calorie-focused plan which balances your calories as it balances your days. There is a reason we are given that so-called *Normal* number of calories for our UDs.
The tendency for some is to blow off doing any work on those Up Days, and to skip the counting of calories related to the UDs, to not measure out food, to just estimate the calorie numbers, or..... to just treat them as completely Free Days..... to not be adhered to at all, regardless of whether they are coming in very short or very over that suggested calorie number.
But if you are following your UD calorie number, it's a whole lot harder to binge. There isn't room to go too far afield and still be under that calorie ceiling number.
And the reverse is also true. Many report that when they aren't counting their calories, they don't know whether they are remotely coming up to the number of calories they have as their UD number... and the following Down Days are more difficult to get through, since they don't go into them being well fueled from a good, full Up Day.
There is a good reason why these two days work well with each other, not just for our weight loss, but for how easy it gets to be to do the fasting days without any hunger or discomfort.
It's hard to follow a low carb eating plan when you pay little attention to your carb consumption, and that sort of ruins the successful outcome of the plan. The same is true of a calorie counted plan, where.. if you don't accurately count the calories, you may well be.. just.. eating. At will. And lucky if you get much success from the plan.
As to the eating of carbs, that has nothing to do with JUDDD. That's 100% up to you. Many come to JUDDD just because they intend to start eating carbs again. But it isn't a free license to overeat again, and if you are going to change your eating plan, JUDDD doesn't care.. it just has nothing to do with JUDDD. That has to do with you. But if you decide to eat more carbs at the same time you also change your eating schedule by following JUDDD, then it's doubly important to count the UD calories as well as the DD ones.
Good luck with whatever foods you choose to include in your diet plan, and also with this cycling *way of eating* your chosen foods. JUDDD works for most who follow it, and I know it will for you too. It just takes a little work, and I think sometimes we don't really accept that part of the deal at first! But the more you are actually *doing* JUDDD, the better it will work for you for some really good weight loss. At the same time you are eating at whatever carb level you choose.
Best wishes, Pat

But you've sort of brought up a good point here. Our UDs are our feasting days which oppose our fasting days in the up/down cycle. But somewhere in our lives we must have started to think of feasting as synonymous with overeating, gorging, stuffing ourselves, etc. And truthfully, regardless of our UD calorie number, we can most definitely feast and indulge on our UDs. Plenty of room there for feasts for our eyes and our paletes.
I hope you will enjoy many *feasts* on your normal Up Days, as you practice the joy of eating for maintenance for the rest of your life.

So I have found that with JUDDD I am able to (slooowly) redefine unrestricted or non-diet days to be less about binging and more about normal balance. I've never had a plan where I could eat "normally" even one day in the week, let alone 3 or 4. It's a new eating head-space for me, and one that is helping me IMMENSELY as I learn a new way of relating to food.

I have problems binging at night if I have carby foods later in the day.
For me, I can't eat carby foods after lunch time or else the cravings hit.
You may have to play around to see if you have a trigger.

I don't feel like JUDDD is a diet. I'd get into an explanation but I'm threadjacking here

Thanks again for the help everyone. I understand, one does not need to low carb on this WOE, but knowing I *could* eat carbs kind of made me overdue it. For example, if I had enough calories, I would use the rest of them with a treat. Then I would have a dd and feel starved. Then on my next up day I would over eat because I didn't want to feel starved the next day.
Completely my bad. Not to mention, I seem to have had my Ud/dd numbers wrong *duh*. Well, live and learn.

WASHINGTON - As the clock ticks toward a Jan. 1 deadline for going over the "fiscal cliff," most wealthy people want to be taxed more - according to a new poll.
Sixty-seven percent of the top 1 percent of American earners, those making more than $450,000 a year, support higher income taxes, and CNBC reports those surveyed said they would favor paying more.
While the top earners aren't jumping for joy over the idea, an American Express/Harrison Group poll says they'd support it for the sake of a broader economy.
President Barack Obama wants taxes raised on those making $250,000 or more, but House speaker John Boehner proposes hikes only on those making $1 million or more annually. House Republicans shot Boehner's plan down, saying they didn't want taxes raised on anyone.

I just found out that At&t is going to be bought by Cingular wireless. Crazy uh? I mean At&t used to be the big bad boy on the block that could take buisness away from you because they had killer deals. Only now they have to gip there own customers to get buisness and that is what sucks. I will give you 2 examples for what At&t has done to my family and I.
(1) On the phone I use, it has an indicator that tells me when I am in roaming or getting close to roaming. So when I drove to Georgia, I didn't use it. I only used it when the indicator read, 'at&t' service. Or when it read 'Extended Area' which means you are in an area that at&t has connections with another company. I never once used it when it was in roaming, well wait, there was one time in Mississippi...Jackson...but it was only for 15 min and it was an emergency. So anyways, we get back home from a week long trip and guess what bill awaits us? A 436 US dollar bill...I am not talk german marks or Japanese ¥. US DOLLARS! We contested it of course and they told us that we were roaming in Georgia, but the phone lied! It said 'at&t' service on it. I mean geeze, if I was in roaming! tell me! Do you think I would rack up even 50 dollars in roaming charges?! Heck no. So anyways, they forced us to pay it. Oh and by the way here is an example of their customer care service.
(1) My mom called and talked to 'Guy' and he said that he could credit our account with $50...and he kept asking my mother if that was ok. My mother kept asking for more, I mean at least half. He wouldn't budge. So when my mom asked to speak to his supervisor, the guy wedged in there that we were ok with our current contract ending in 2005...NO WAY! We only signed up for a 12 month contract, and it was supposed to be gone in June. So anyways, He told me that when he credited us the $50 dollars it extended our contract another 6 months! He never said anything of the sort. So then my mom said we wanted the $50 but refused to extend the contract, I then encouraged her to end it and call back and get someone else.
She got a woman named, 'brenda'. This woman said while looking at our account that our contract has been extended and that $50 was creditted to us, but then taken off. That little jerk extended the contract even though we told him no, and then took the 50 away. This woman fixed it for us...and we had to pay the full amount.
(2) Just yesterday we received a bill from At&t wireless, saying that we owe then 190 dollars!!! NO WAY I say...It says on there that we were late with our last bill, which is an outright lie. The billing statement says that if you contest a bill you have an extended time to pay. They didn't give us that extention. Little buggers.
So in conclusion, SCREW At&t...I know of a non-profit organazation that had to pay 7,000 dollars to At&t because At&t changed the contract and didn't inform them of the change.
I am going with either Verizon or Sprint.
PLEASE DONT SUPPORT AT&T, THEY DONT DESERVE IT. Past this thing around if you want.

On Sunday, the top-seeded Jackrabbits proved their mettle with a pair of shutout victories – 2-0 and 1-0 -- over North Dakota to claim their first Summit League tournament title and their inaugural berth in the NCAA Tournament. After losing their tournament opener Thursday to Western Illinois, the Jackrabbits reeled off four consecutive victories.
SDSU improved to 35-22 overall. North Dakota State ended its season at 26-27.
In the opener, Kolton Emery and J.D. Moore combined on a seven-hit shutout.
SDSU took a 1-0 lead in the second inning as Daniel Telford reached on an infield single and later scored on Aaron Machbitz's single up the middle.
The game remained 1-0 until SDSU added an insurance run in the eighth inning on a sacrifice fly by Scott Splett that plated Andrew Melton.
A junior right-hander from Black Hawk, Emery pitched 7 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and no walks. He struck out five.
Moore fanned the first three batters he faced and retired all four hitters he faced to earn his 13th save of the season.
Machbitz was 2-for-3 to pace SDSU's eight-hit effort.
North Dakota State starter Jay Flaa struck out four and gave up six hits in 7 1/3 innings.
In Game 2, three SDSU pitchers combined for the shutout and the Jackrabbits scored the lone run of the game in the top of the first inning.
Scott Splett started what proved to be the game-winning run with a two-out single to right field. A wild pitch and passed ball moved Splett to third before Telford, the tournament most valuable player, lined a double to left-center field.
Jackrabbit starter Shane Kraemer did not allow a hit through the first 3 1/3 innings, but later worked out of a jam in the fifth inning by stranding runners at the corners. Kraemer exited with two runners on and one out in the sixth, giving way to Friday starter Stephen Bougher. Bougher induced a double-play grounder to get out of the sixth and worked around a leadoff double in the seventh.
Layne Somsen, who started the Thursday opener, entered in the eighth inning and pitched around a leadoff single by striking out the final two batters of the frame. Somsen then closed out the tournament with a perfect ninth inning, again striking out the final two Bison batters of the frame to earn his first career save.
Kraemer, who struck out two, improved to 4-2 on the season. The Jackrabbit pitching staff did not allow a base on balls in either game.
Telford recorded two of SDSU's six hits. Wes Satzinger and Blake Turbak each tallied two on NDSU's seven hits.
Joining Telford on the all-tournament team from SDSU were Moore, Bougher, Splett and Emery.
Pairings for the NCAA Tournament will be announced at 11 a.m. Monday on ESPNU. Jackrabbit coaches and players will gather for a public reception at Cubby's Sports Bar and Grill in Brookings.

In June 2001 ground was broken for the Oro Valley Public Library. The new 15,000 square foot library held its grand opening on August 17, 2002. The library opened with a collection of 63,000 items including books, magazines, and CDs available for check out.
The $5.1 million cost included the site, the building, computers, furnishings and the books and other materials for check out. About $2 million came from Pima County with the remainder raised by bonds from the Town of Oro Valley. Friends of the Oro Valley Public Library raised more than $100,000 for the library prior to its opening. Later, a special raffle was held to put a roof on the library's patio.
In 2012, the Oro Valley Town Council voted to merge Oro Valley Library with Pima County Public Library (PCPL) so that it became PCPL's 28th library location.
Computer Classroom upgrades at the Oro Valley Branch Library were made possible by a very generous donation from John & Joyce Nichols II to the Friends of the Oro Valley Public Library. The Computer Classroom was originally made possible by a very generous grant of $26,200 from the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records Agency under the Library Services and Technology Act, which is administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and a $50,000 commitment from the Friends of the Oro Valley Public Library.

Thompson Seed Library
"Gardening is a way to show that you believe in tomorrow."
—Raymond F. Thompson, Jr.
The Oro Valley Public Library is the location of the Thompson Seed Library. Pima County Public Library's seed lending library is a collection of edible, decorative, and herb seed varieties that community members may borrow, use to grow plants at home, and then return a portion of the seeds they harvest at the end of the season. Over time, the seed library's collection has become self-sustaining and, most importantly, the seeds are becoming super seeds—strong, resilient, and well adapted to Arizona's harsh climate.
The Thompson Seed Library was dedicated in honor of Raymond F. Thompson, Jr., a retired professor of modern literature at Howard University, a counselor, and a local gardener extraordinaire who suddenly passed away in April 2013. Close to $7,000 in donations to the Oro Valley Public Library and to the Friends of the Oro Valley Public Library in Mr. Thompson's memory funded the seed library.
The Oro Valley Public Library is also partnering with the Oro Valley Historical Society to highlight the varieties of heirloom seeds from Oro Valley's pioneer days.

These two amateur sluts were out on the water, flashing their tits and giving blowjobs while they zipped around the lake on jetskis. After that they took the party back to their boat so they could get their tight amateur pussies fucked!
Check out the sex tape we got a hold of from this club. The bar staff parties a lot after closing, but tonight things got WILD. One bartender got his cock sucked in the back, while his bro fucked two hot chicks on the floor before an orgy broke out!

Heading For Shore: A Stylish Southampton Beach House
A young family enlists Timothy Haynes and Kevin Roberts to craft a stylish new take on the traditional beach house, one that reflects both a refined sensibility and barefoot ease
By Nancy Hass
Dining Room
Unlike some large homes where the magnificence of the space takes precedence over the furnishings, this one pays great attention to some of the masters of mid-20th-century French design, including Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, and Royère. Set off by large-scale artworks by Damien Hirst and Donald Moffett, the pieces create a spare but warm geometry. The clients accompanied the designers to France to shop and had a riotous good time. "It was one of the greatest treats ever," she recalls.
A set of 1950s rush-and-bronze chairs by Colette Gueden surround the custom-made Corian dining table; the light fixture is by Royère.
