Above all other sports, NASCAR drivers are reliant upon their equipment. Right, Eddie?
"Well, if your car is 100 horsepower behind another car or your crew is giving you 18-second pit stops when the leader's getting 11, then no amount of conditioning is going to help you," Gossage admits.
I think that's it. The maximum mechanical element ruins it for me. Fans pass down like heirlooms the family rooting rights based on car companies. Some at Sunday's race will cheer for every driver in a Ford; others will pull in general for Chevy. Me? I just can't justify clapping for cars. And I envision how ridiculous it would be for NFL fans to pick their favorite quarterback—or even team—based on what brand of shoe he/it wears.
Go Nike!?
I remember asking Edwards about his strategy at a past TMS race.
"My team makes my job easy," he explained. "When I turn the key and step on the gas, the car goes fast."
Athlete? Nope.
Feels like the NASCAR craze has peaked. Last weekend in the metroplex, more TV viewers watched Nowitzki get humiliated in Cleveland than Johnson win in Martinsville. Like professional wrestling, poker, women's basketball and those annoyingly smug "reporters" on TMZ, I predict NASCAR's fad is headed toward an exclusive cult following on ESPN4.
Unless...OK, I'll give Gossage one more shot. If—let's pretend for a moment—I agree that NASCAR drivers are indeed athletes, where should I rank them on the 1-10 scale?
"No doubt, 10," he says. "Golfers? Well, I used to ride motorcycles with Davis Love III, and it's an amazing skill. But athletic? About a five. Bowling and darts? Anything where you can drink beer isn't really a sport, is it? Seriously, I'd put our guys up against any elite athletes."
Any? How about soccer players?
"Drivers are a 10," Gossage says, "and soccer players are about a seven. They do a lot of standing around."
Who's the fool now?

Pure L-Glutamine is a "conditionally essential" amino acid. During times of physical stress and exertion glutamine reserves can be depleted. Glutamine's role in the body is critical to peak performance. As the most abundant amino acid in the muscle tissue, glutamine has a positive protein-sparing role in protein synthesis and immune system enhancement. Glutamine supplementation can influence muscle tissue recovery supporting gains in growth and strength while enhancing immune function. Glutamine can be taken with water or added to protein powders and meal replacements to insure adequate levels.

Enjoying the Ride

Read more "Getting to 'I do.'"
This fall, with eight months to go until the wedding, weve found ourselves overcome with the strange sense of having nothing to do. In reality, there's still plenty of planning left. We haven't booked a florist, or lined up music for the ceremony or cocktail hour. We haven't chosen bridesmaid dresses or tuxedos, booked a honeymoon - or even figured out where we want to go.But compared to the first few weeks and months after the engagement, when we were faced with a mountain of research and choices, it feels as though we've reached a lull in the action. The to-do list is still there and, in some ways, still overwhelmingly long - but the urgency that accompanied our earliest decisions has dissipated.We have our date. Our venues. Our band, our photographer. All the vendors that we worried would book up and leave us in the dust are signed and paid.At first, this realization made me nervous. Was there something major I was forgetting? Wedding planning couldn't be this quick and easy, could it?But after a while, I found myself enjoying evenings and lunch breaks with friends, or by myself, instead of buried under menus and pricing sheets and wedding books. I was having conversations with my parents that had nothing to do with the dress or the guest list. I found myself confidently telling newly engaged friends that the planning process wouldn't always be so crazy. Most of all, I began to enjoy simply being engaged. In the beginning, we seemingly spent every weekend visiting venues or making other wedding plans. But earlier this month, Reese and I went to Kiawah Island, S.C. - the weekend was a gift from our parents - with nothing on the agenda except relaxing and belatedly celebrating our engagement. We spent three days watching the waves from our hotel balcony, lingering over dinners and enjoying sunny early-morning walks. To me, it was a taste of what life would be like after the wedding - no pressure to do anything other than enjoy each other's company.I've often wondered how I'll feel the day after the wedding. Exhausted and excited about the honeymoon, sure, but will I also be a little sad it's over? Will it be the feeling you get as a child on Christmas day - thrilled, but a little deflated after all that buildup? What will we look forward to, after looking forward to the wedding for so long?The answer, of course, is our life together. A number of my married friends have said they felt relieved after their weddings. Those were great days, rich with family and friends and laughter and tears, they said, but when the music stopped and the guests left, they were delighted to realize they could simply be with each other.After we returned from our beach weekend, refreshed, I picked up the wedding planning again. I chose linens for the reception. My mom and I went back to the bridal shop, and I tried on my dress for the first time since we bought it. I fell in love with it all over again. We checked out bridesmaid dresses, and I've (slowly) started to think about flowers and invitations and save-the-dates. I'm having more fun with it all than I have in months.I expect the planning process to kick into high gear sometime after the holidays, when the home stretch begins and the weekends fill with showers and bachelorette parties for me and all the beautiful brides-to-be I know. But for now, I'm enjoying the fact that there are still eight months to go. I'm enjoying the slower pace and the rediscovery of just how much fun this is. And I think I've learned that, no matter the length of the to-do list, it's important to sit back once in a while and enjoy the ride.

We are planning to depart on our circumnavigate soon and we'd like to have boat and health insurance in place before we go. The options are a little overwhelming, so we need some help figuring this out. Can you offer any advice?Sue & Larry respond:We find that insurance is often a very complicated issue, not to mention a royal pain in the transom. When shopping for boat insurance for world cruising, you'll likely find geographic restrictions dependent upon the season and there may be further requirements placed upon you regarding the minimum number and skill level of the crew for certain bluewater legs. Points like these are extremely important to recognize and understand about the policy you finally choose. It's also important to remember such details as these once you're away on your adventure as you don't want to give cause for a future claim to not be paid.
If you could afford to lose the financial investment you had in your boat without being ruined, then our advice to you would be to consider going without insurance on the boat itself. Many world cruisers opt to take the thousands of dollars per year they would spend on insurance and invest it in a "disaster fund," or use it wisely to decrease the odds of suffering a disaster. They upgrade their ground-tackle, install more bilge pumps, etc. In this instance, though, we think you would be wise to still carry liability insurance.
Many cruisers we know use Bluewater Yacht Insurance as this company is geared towards world cruising and allows crews of just two for passages. The company can be reached at: 800/866-8906 or via e-mail at email@example.com. (The company's West Coast office is 800/655-9244 or firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Some other companies to try for international cruising insurance are as follows:
Jack Martin and Associates (www.jackmartin.com)
American Marine Insurance Services (www.insureamericanmarine.com)
Alden Insurance (www.aldeninsurance.com)
When it comes to choosing international health insurance, there are many, many options. You can go with a plain vanilla type of policy like you would have in the US, or can add varying degrees of additional services. Some companies offer medical training for crewmembers prior to departure and work together with you to ensure that your medical kit is packed with the right drugs and medicaments. Some of the same companies offer a 24-hour emergency medical line staffed by physicians, and some can even arrange an airlift at sea if necessary.
The plain vanilla type of policies can be obtained through Blue Cross/Blue Shield at 800/481-2583 or Bluewater Insurance (listed above). Many other companies will cover you during international travel. You'll have to do some phoning to determine which ones have a package that fits your needs exactly.
Of course there are fancier, more full-service policies available. Here are a couple of companies you can try regarding that option.
MedLink (www.medaire.com)Medex Assistance Corp. (www.Medexassist.com)
An important thing to keep in mind regarding health insurance is that once you leave North America, health care costs drop substantially. It may be cheaper in the long run to choose high deductibles, pay for the incidentals yourself, and keep your premium at its lowest possible rate. Best of luck with your upcoming cruise.

The Atacama Desert Facts and Climate for Kids
Gathered by: E.Trio
- The Atacama Desert is a plateau in South America, covering a 600 mi strip of land on the Pacific coast, west of the Andes mountains.
- It is, according to NASA, National Geographic and other sources, the driest desert in the world.
- The Atacama occupies 41,000 sq mi composed mostly of salt lakes (salares), sand, and felsic lava flows towards the Andes.
- The Atacama Desert ecoregion, as defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), extends from a few kilometers south of the Peru–Chile border to about 30° south latitude.
- To the north lies the Peruvian Sechura Desert ecoregion, whilst to the south is the Chilean Matorral ecoregion.
- The National Geographic Society, by contrast, considers the coastal area of southern Peru to be part of the Atacama Desert.
- The Atacama Desert is commonly known as the driest place in the world, especially the surroundings of the abandoned Yungay town (in Antofagasta Region, Chile).
- The average rainfall in the Chilean region of the Atacama Desert is .004 inches per year, meaning it gets 4 inches of rain in a thousand years.
- Periods of up to four years have been registered with no rainfall in the central sector, delimited by the cities of Antofagasta, Calama and Copiapó, in Chile.
- Studies by a group of British scientists have suggested that some river beds have been dry for 120,000 years.
- Geographically, the aridity can be explained by the following reasons: The desert is located on the leeward side of the Chilean Coast Range, so little moisture from the Pacific Ocean can reach the desert.
- The Humboldt Current transports cold water from Antarctica towards the north the length of the Chilean and Peruvian coasts; this water that makes the western sea breezes cold, reducing evaporation and creating a thermic inversion—cold air immobilized under a cover of tepid air—prevents the formation of large, rain-producing clouds.
- Owing to its otherworldly appearance, the Atacama has been used as a location for filming Mars scenes, most notably in the television series Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets.
- In 2003, a team of researchers published a report in the journal Science in which they duplicated the tests used by the Viking 1 and Viking 2 Mars landers to detect life, and were unable to detect any signs in Atacama Desert soil.
- The team duplicated the Viking tests in Mars-like Earth environments and found that they missed present signs of life in soil samples from Antarctic dry valleys, the Atacama Desert of Chile and Peru, and other locales.
- Perchlorates are also found in the Atacama and associated nitrate deposits have contained organics, leading to speculation that signs of life on Mars are not incompatible with perchlorates.
- It lies 8 mi to the west of the town, San Pedro de Atacama.
- These oases have had little population growth and urban development, and have, since the 20th century, faced conflicts over water resources that are needed for the coastal cities and the mining industry.
- The Atacama Desert again became a source of wealth from the 1950s onwards, owing to copper mining.
- The European Southern Observatory operates two major observatories in the Atacama: The La Silla Observatory The Paranal Observatory, which includes the Very Large Telescope A new radio astronomy telescope, called ALMA, built by Europe, Japan, the United States, Canada and Chile in the Llano de Chajnantor Observatory officially opened on 3 October 2011.

Have You Ever Participated in a Riddle Road Rally?
A contest of precision, road rally participants receive a series of instructions filled with riddles and puzzles that lead drivers and navigators on a specific route. The course is planned to be completed in a set time, and the goal is to finish in as close to that precise time and mileage as possible.
The "riddle rally" is not your typical race – it involves solving clues to decipher a route, driven at legal speeds on public roads. Smart phones and GPS can be dangerous tools! The RR is deliberately designed so that the info found on a GPS or smart phone can be extremely misleading.

UTEP fans were expecting the Miners to go forward from a surprising 8-4 finish in 2004 and challenge for a 10-win season.
So what happened with these great expectations? Central Florida started off the season 0-2 after losing to South Carolina and getting trounced by South Florida. Then, something happened. The Knights won eight of their next nine and claimed the East Division title. Tulsa opened the season as fodder for Minnesota and Oklahoma and then won nine of their last 11 to claim the C-USA championship.
Memphis saw their C-USA title chances disappear just three plays into the 2005 season when quarterback Patrick Byrne broke his leg against Ole Miss. Backup Will Hudgens, not to be outdone, broke his leg two weeks later against Tulsa. Williams missed the Tennessee game, yet he rushed for 1,964 yards and 18 touchdowns. The Tigers finished the regular season 6-5 and then won the Motor City Bowl.
As for UTEP, after starting the season 8-1, the Miners lost at home to UAB and then surprisingly at SMU, allowing Tulsa to pass them for the West Division title. UTEP then proceeded to lay the biggest egg in the bowl season as Toledo blitzed them 45-13 in the GMAC Bowl.
In the official preseason poll, both division winners from 2005 were picked to repeat—Central Florida in the East and Tulsa in the West. Following UCF in the East poll were Southern Mississippi, Memphis, Marshall, UAB, and East Carolina. Picked behind Tulsa in the West were UTEP, Houston, SMU, Tulane, and Rice.
What does 2006 hold for C-USA according to the PiRates? There is no clear-cut favorite in the East where nine points separate first place and last place. Any of the six teams could win the division title and 6-2 should be good enough for an outright title (5-3 could earn a share). In the West, the top three teams in the league will fight it out with the bottom three teams in the league jostling for fourth place.
East Division
1. Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
PiRate: 100 National Ranking: 60 HFA: 4
Coach Jeff Bower's Golden Eagles always win more than they lose, but in four of the last five seasons, USM has lost five games or more. Last year, they finished 7-5 with what could have been called a rebuilding season. This year, with a much improved offense and status quo defense, Southern Miss. should have its best team since 1999.
The offense should score more points this year thanks to an experienced front line. Guards George Batiste and Travis Cooley could both earn All-CUSA honors. Batiste should be an NFL draft pick in 2007.
The line will protect new quarterback Jeremy Young, giving him a chance to spot open receivers. Young will get competition for the job from Michigan State transfer Stephen Reaves.
Whoever ends up starting at quarterback will have a strong contingent of receivers led by the conference's top tight end Shawn Nelson. A year ago, Nelson caught a team-leading 35 passes and showed a dazzling ability to run after the catch, averaging 15.4 yards per reception. Joining Nelson in the receiver corps are Josh Barnes and Anthony Perine, who combined for 63 catches and 862 yards.
Southern Miss. hasn't fielded strong defenses the last two seasons, but the Eagles should fare well enough to let their offense outscore opponents. Opponents should have a rougher go of it passing against this defense in 2006. Four potential All-CUSA players will be patrolling against the pass. Rover/safety Brandon Sumrall defended nine passes in 2005. Cornerback Caleb Hendrix did so seven times.
Linebacker Gerald McRath looked like an all-league performer prior to breaking his leg early on. Linebacker Tokumbo Abanikanda combines strength to blitz and speed to cover in one package. There's lots of depth in this unit.
Up front is where this defense is a little suspect. Two key players from last year are gone, and the depth here is a little thin. Matthew Chatelain and Robert Henderson give the Eagles two above-average bookends to work with.
Southern has two of the best kickers in the nation on hand, or should I say foot. Placekicker Darren McCaleb booted 23 of 28 field goal attempts through the uprights, including 10 from beyond 40 yards. New Punter Britt Barefoot (dig the name) has a leg that will make some older fans remember some guy named Ray.
USM must open the season at Florida and play at Virginia Tech later in the year. Home games with SE Louisiana and North Carolina State round out the non-conference part of the schedule. The Eagles could split these four games and could even put a scare in Florida. The key to their season will come on consecutive Tuesday night conference games. They must play at Central Florida and at Tulsa. Even though they will more than likely drop both games, they can run the table the rest of the way and finish 6-2/8-4, which should earn them at least a share of the East Division crown.
2. Central Florida Golden Knights
PiRate: 98 National Ranking: 66 (t) HFA: 3
The 2005 season is one that Coach George O'Leary can put on his resume of past successes. 2006 may garner another line or two on that document. UCF improved from no wins to eight wins and the outright division title by two games!
The Golden Knights return a load of talent on both sides of the ball and should be in the thick of the race once again, especially if quarterback Steven Moffett has a senior year as good as his junior year. Moffett tossed 22 touchdown passes against only nine interceptions, while completing close to 60% of his passes for over 2,900 yards.
Moffett will have to break in some new receivers, but one he will know quite well is Mike Walker, who caught 64 passes for 855 yards. Replacing Brandon Marshall and his 1,195 yards and 11 scores will be difficult. Look for speedsters Willie Thornton and Brooks Turner to emerge as deep threats and take some heat off Walker.
UCF is loaded at tailback, where Kevin Smith returns after rushing for 1,178 yards in 2005. Fullback Jason Peters returns as well, and he runs the ball more than a 21st century fullback. Last year, he averaged 5.6 yards per try. The combo should force linebackers and defensive backs to hesitate just enough for the speed-burning receivers to get open deep.
The offensive line returns intact, but they have lots of room for improvement after giving up 37 sacks a year ago. Center Cedric Gagne-Marcoux is the best of the bunch, and he could earn 1st team All-CUSA accolades this year.
The UCF defense didn't scare anybody last year when they surrendered 29 points and more than 420 total yards a game. Expect some improvement, especially against the pass where all four returning starters have all-league potential. Johnell Neal, Joe Burnett, Sha'reff Rashad, and Jason Venson are all sophomores who should improve by volumes this year. The quartet combined to defend 31 passes with nine interceptions in 2005, while Venson, Neal, and Burnett finished one-two-three in tackles.
The key to defensive improvement will be the front four. Whether this group can put pressure on passers and stop runners (they gave up almost five yards per rush last year) will determine if UCF will repeat as East champs. Tackles Keith Shologan and Bryan Gabourel have the potential to stuff the run.
The trio of linebackers are another area of concern. Ronnell Sandy and Jordan Richards return, but to linebacker James Cook is gone.
When he isn't covering receivers, Burnett is one of the top punt returners in the nation. Last year, he returned two of 28 punts for touchdowns, averaging an eye-popping 16.5 yards per return.
Central Florida has an easier conference schedule than Southern Mississippi, and that could be the deciding factor in the East race. After opening with Villanova, the Knights must play at Florida and at South Florida. Then comes the big game in Orlando against USM on a Tuesday night. UCF could easily match last year's win total and repeat as East champs.
3. Memphis Tigers
PiRate: 96 National Ranking: 78 (t) HFA: 3
He's gone. Memphis fans will have to tune in to the tube on Sundays to watch DeAngelo Williams running down the sideline. Does this mean the Tigers are headed down the tube on Saturdays? I don't think so.
When the starting quarterback goes out on the field for the first play of a game, nobody is going to tell him to "break a leg" for good luck. Memphis lost two signal callers to fractured legs in the opening three weeks.
Both of those injured quarterbacks return (Patrick Byrne/Will Hudgens), but former Southeast Louisiana star Martin Hankins figures to be the main man this year. Don't expect Memphis to look like a Hal Mumme-coached offense, but expect the Tigers to throw the ball at least five and maybe 10 more times per game.
Regardless of which of the quarterbacks start, he will have a throng of talented receivers looking to catch the ball. Start with Ryan Scott, who led the Tigers last year with 37 receptions at 15.6 yards per catch. Add Mario Pratcher and Maurice Jones, another two deep ball threats. Add-in tight end Stacy Jones, who should contribute 20-30 receptions with many of those coming to convert first downs.
The offensive line returns all five starters. This group surrendered a minuscule nine sacks last year, while opening holes for Williams to run through. Center Stephen Schuh began as a walk-on, but the grandson of the great Harry Schuh (an All-American at Memphis State and later All-Pro lineman with the great Oakland Raiders teams of the late 1960's) not only starts for the Tigers, he is on the watch list for the Rimington Trophy. Guard Blake Butler and tackle Brandon Pearce both could earn post-season honors this year. Pearce made the All-CUSA freshman team in 2005.
That brings us to running back. Obviously, this spot will be much weaker than last year, with the loss of a once-in-a-lifetime superstar. However, Joseph Doss could still rush for 1,000 yards. In limited action last year, he ran for 440 yards at a 5.2 average per carry.
You never know what the Memphis defense is going to do next. Unorthodox coordinator Joe Lee Dunn is known for throwing more unique blitzes, dogs, and stunts than any other coach. Memphis actually used a two-man defensive line at times last year with about six players lined up in the normal linebacker areas. What's next—an 0-7-4 defense?
Dunn can afford to continue to gamble this year thanks to having one of the best secondary quartets around. Cornerbacks Brandon McDonald and Jamaal Rufus and safety Wesley Smith combined for 25 defended passes. Backup Dustin Lopez contributed seven more.
Among the players scampering across the line into enemy backfields are linebackers Greg Hinds and Quinton McCrary. They must carry the load this year because the defensive line is green.
Michael Gibson is the best punter in the league. Last year, he averaged 44.6 yards per punt with solid hang time.
Memphis may not start the season as the strongest or weakest team in the East, but the Tigers could end up anywhere from first to last. If the rebuilt defensive wall matures quickly enough, UM could take advantage of a favoring schedule and win the East. If the line proves to be very vulnerable, the all-of-a-sudden winnable home games could go the other way, sending UM to last place. I think Memphis will lose their opener at Ole Miss and beat Chattanooga to start 1-1. The third game is at East Carolina. The Tigers have the talent to win that one and go into a bye week preparing for war with Tennessee. If Memphis starts 2-1 and then upsets Tennessee, they are off to the races and will finish 9-3 or better. Even if they start 2-2, they should return to a bowl. If they lose to ECU, call it the season right there—they are headed to a 4-8 or worse record.
4. Marshall Thundering Herd
PiRate: 92 National Ranking: 88 (t) HFA: 4
The glory years for this program are gone. Marshall is now an also-ran in a bigger league. A difficult schedule promises to make this year another long one in Huntington, WV.
The Herd saw its offense collapse last year, scoring less than 21 points seven times. Nine starters return to offense, so the scoring should improve this year.
Two players who shared quarterbacking duties return to the fold this year. Bernard Morris and Jimmy Skinner both tossed for just over 1,100 yards. Skinner completed 62% of his passes, while Morris completed 52.8%. Morris is a much better runner, and he will probably get the nod.
The four principal receivers from last year are back this year. Hiram Moore, Marcus Fitzgerald, tailback Ahmad Bradshaw, and Shawn Lauzon combined for 181 catches, but the quartet averaged a paltry 9.7 yards between them.
Bradshaw narrowly missed rushing for 1,000 yards and still led the Herd in receptions with 56. The output earned him 2nd team All-CUSA honors.
Center Doug Legursky, guard John Inman, and tackle Seth Cook lead an improved offensive line.
On the stop side, Marshall has two superb linebackers. Dennis Thornton and Matt Couch led the Herd with 201 combined tackles with 15 behind the line. They also defended eight passes. Throw in Georgia transfer Josh Johnson, and this trio will help lower both the rushing and passing yardage allowed from last year.
Up front, end Albert McClellan and tackle Juan Underwood can possibly both register 10 tackles behind the line this year.
The secondary was not all that bad last year, but only one starter returns. Safety Curtis Keyes failed to intercept a pass and only broke up two. He did finish third on the team with 88 tackles.
Marshall opens up at West Virginia, then gets Hofstra at home before going back on the road to Kansas State and Tennessee. They will be 1-3 unless Hofstra's wide-open passing attack pulls off a big upset. Once conference play starts, I expect the Herd to lose to UCF, UTEP, and Southern Miss. The other five games should be competitive. I figure a 3-5 or 4-4 conference record which should result in a 4-8 or 5-7 overall mark.
5. Alabama-Birmingham Blazers
PiRate: 91 National Ranking: 91 HFA: 3
Former Vanderbilt coach Watson Brown's Blazers failed to live up to expectations last season, finishing 5-6. Narrow losses to Tennessee, SMU, Marshall, and UCF prevented UAB from possibly earning a share of the East Division title. With big losses on both sides of the ball, expect another losing season in steel town.
Offense could be a major problem this season. Projected starter Chris Williams will not come close to matching departed Darrell Hackney's numbers. Six of UAB's top seven receivers are gone, as only Norris Drinkard (41 catches, 9.5 avg.) returns.
Corey White and Dan Burks return to share carries at running back, and this duo could produce 1,500 yards rushing. They will benefit from having an exceptional quintet of blockers in front of them. Guards Adam Truitt and Quinton Harris and tackles Julius Wilson and Cornelius Rogers will open holes.
UAB will need their defense to improve if they have any chance of winning six games this year. Last year, the Blazers surrendered 24 points and 372 yards per game. The Blazers have two fine ends in Jermaine McElveen and Larry McSwain. Linebackers Orlandus King, Mastaki Smith, and Marcus Monk give UAB a fine trio in the second line of defense.
The secondary must do better than 61% completions allowed at 11.8 yards per reception. Cornerback Will Evans and safety Chris Felder return as starters.
UAB opens the season at Oklahoma. If they get too banged up in that game, they will have troubles in week two at home against East Carolina. They then must go to Georgia and host Mississippi State. That four-game struggle should tell the story. If they beat ECU and Mississippi State, they have a shot at bowl eligibility. If they start 1-3, they could still win five games once again. If they should start 0-4, it's going to be ugly in Birmingham. My guess is a 1-3 start and 5-7 overall record.
6. East Carolina Pirates
PiRate: 91 National Ranking: 93 HFA: 3
Skip Holtz almost turned the Pirates into a winning team in his first year in Greenville. What can he do for an encore? He has the talent for another middle of the pack finish, but the schedule is not friendly.
James Pinkney returns to pilot the Pirates' ship after completing 60.7% of his 2005 passes for 2,773 yards. ECU was consistent last year, as they passed for 200 or more yards in every game.
When Pinkney throws, he will know the receivers on the other end of those passes. The top four yardage gainers return, led by potential All-American Aundrae Allison. Last year, Allison grabbed 83 passes for 1,024 yards. He ran the reverse and even passed off that play last year.
Speaking of running, ECU returns most of the key contributors from last year. Chris Johnson, Brandon Fractious, and Dominique Lindsey combined for 1,155 yards at a 4.4 aggregate average.
Tackle Eric Graham returns where he averaged almost six knockdown blocks per game last year. The rest of the line is a question mark.
Defensively, ECU allowed 28.8 points and 403 yards per game last year, but that was quite an improvement over 2004's 40 points and more than 450 yards allowed. The front four will be the strength of the team. Ends Shauntae Hunt and Marcus Hands combined for 16.5 stops for loss last year. Brandon Setzer added another 6.5 stops behind the line from his tackle position.
There are no returning starters in the linebacker corps. Holtz has multiple JUCO players to try here, but this unit should be a weakness this year.
Cornerback Kasey Ross defended 11 passes last year. He will team up with 2004 standout Jamar Flournoy to give the Pirates a better than average secondary.
ECU kicker Robert Lee narrowly missed a perfect season in 2005. He connected on all 30 of his PAT's and hit on 17 of 19 field goal attempts.
East Carolina has more talent this year than last, but the record may head south. The schedule is set up for a disappointing season. Road games at Navy, UAB, Southern Mississippi, Central Florida, Rice, and North Carolina State point to a 1-5 record away from home. Memphis, West Virginia, Virginia, Tulsa, SMU, and Marshall make it look like a 3-3 or 2-4 record. It all adds up to a 3-9 or 4-8 season.
West Division
1. Tulsa Golden Hurricane
PiRate: 105 National Ranking: 45 (t) HFA: 4
It's been a rollercoaster ride for Tulsa since Coach Dave Kragthorpe arrived. Taking over a 1-10 team in 2003, he guided the Golden Hurricane to eight surprising wins and a bowl bid. In 2004, with 16 starters returning and expecting to contend for the WAC title, Tulsa dropped to 8-4. Last year, Tulsa won eight games once again. So, with 16 starters returning once again, does 2006 mean a 4-8 record is in the offing? No way! In fact, if Tulsa shores up a few problem areas, they could possibly make a run for a BCS at-large spot.
Quarterback Paul Smith completed 62.4% of his passes last year for 2,847 yards and 20 touchdowns. When Smith was injured in the opening game last year, backup David Johnson came in and connected on 20 of 30 passes against Minnesota.
The receiving corps was decimated by graduation. Five of the top seven receivers are gone. Leading returning receiver Idris Moss caught 22 passes for 236 yards
Brandon Diles, Tarrion Adams, and Courtney Tennial will share the load at running back. All three possess different running styles. Diles is a bulldozer who runs through the line creating his own holes. Adams is speedy quick with excellent receiver skills (he caught 24 passes for 273 yards). Tennial, an Oklahoma transfer, blends a little power with some speed.
The offensive line could be the best in the conference. Tackles Jeff Perrett and Mike Mengers are top-rate. Guard Jon Hameister-Ries could challenge for all-league honors.
As good as Tulsa could be on the attack side, the defense could be better. The secondary has been a strength the last three years, but this year could be the best yet. Cornerbacks Nick Graham and Julian McGowan and safeties Bobby Blackshire and Anthony Germany return after teaming for 39 defended passes, 13 of them interceptions.
All three starting linebackers return, and this unit could be even stronger than the secondary. Nick Bunting made 9.5 stops for loss. Nelson Coleman led the team with 117 tackles with 6.5 for loss. Chris Chamberlain contributed 11 tackles for loss and three defended passes.
The front three are not in the class with the back eight, but they are no slouches either. End Chadd Evans should be one of the league's top pass rushers. Nose tackle Terrel Nemons is a playmaker.
Tulsa plays Stephen F. Austin to begin the season. They must travel the following week to Brigham Young. After a home game against North Texas, they wind up the out-of-conference part of their schedule at Navy. If they can win all four of these games, and it won't be that easy, they have an outside chance to run the table. They get Southern Miss. and UTEP at home. One more tough road game is at Houston, which comes immediately after the UTEP game. If they are 9-0 on November 5, they should win the final three against Rice, SMU, and Tulane. At 12-0, the Golden Hurricane would more than likely earn a BCS Bowl trip. My guess is they will finish 11-2 or 12-1 and return to the Liberty Bowl as CUSA Champs.
2. Texas El Paso Miners
PiRate: 99 National Ranking: 63 (t) HFA: 4
UTEP should be a force to be reckoned with this season. Unfortunately, the Miners must play at both Houston and Tulsa (in back-to-back games no less), so they have a tougher go of it than their two principal division rivals.
The Miners averaged over 300 passing yards per game last year, and the man who threw for 292 of those yards each week returns. Jordan Palmer has NFL potential. Last season, he completed nearly 60% of his passes. Additionally, he was one of the few quarterbacks to average better than eight yards per attempt.
UTEP had two consistent deep threats last year, and one of them returns. Johnnie Lee Higgins snatched 49 balls at a 17.1 yard rate in 2005. Joe West and Chris Marrow could be the pieces of the puzzle that will keep UTEP near the top in passing yardage. Tight end Jamar Hunt catches everything thrown at him.
Running back Marcus Thomas led UTEP with 791 yards rushing last year, while averaging 5.3 yards per carry. He could top 1,000 yards this year and move higher onto the 2008 NFL draft list.
If Palmer is to threaten 4,000 passing yards and Thomas 1,000 rushing yards, the offensive line is going to have to show improvement. Center Robby Felix made the All-CUSA freshman team. Tackle Tyler Ribitzki has greatly improved since coming to El Paso.
UTEP was generous defensively last year. Taking away a shutout over Texas Southern, the Miners gave up more than 28 points and 394 yards per game.
The strength of the stop side is the line. Tackle Zach West and End Alex Obomese combined for 22 stops for loss. Obomese is a first-rate pass rusher who will command double teams.
Last year's top two tacklers return to their linebacker spots. Jeremy Jones and Troy Collavo registered 242 combined tackles, 29 for loss.
The secondary was torched by Toledo in the GMAC Bowl. Three returning starters, Nate Draughon, Joe Fleskoskie, and Quintin Demps recorded 25 passes defended.
UTEP has a tougher schedule than Tulsa and should pay with a lower finish. Out of league play, they travel to improved San Diego State and New Mexico, while hosting Texas Tech and New Mexico State. They could go 3-1 in those games, but 2-2 is likely. The Miners must play at Houston and Tulsa, so they could lose both of those contests. Call it at eight wins and another bowl bid.
3. Houston Cougars
PiRate: 98 National Ranking: 69 (t) HFA: 3
Here's some interesting trivia. Houston is the last Division I-A team to score 100 points in a game. That came in 1968 against Tulsa. So, since that time, who is the only team to threaten to score 100 points in a game? Houston again! They defeated SMU 95-21 in 1989. Ironically, the Cougars are now division rivals with both schools. The once mighty Cougars have finished in the Top 10 in the past with multiple New Year's Day bowl trips. This program is on the rise once again.
The 2006 Cougars will not remind people of the great 1979 team, but Houston has enough talent to return to a bowl game for the third time in four seasons.
Let's start with defense, where most of the key contributors from last year return, including 13 of the top 14 tacklers. Next to Tulsa, Houston has the best pass defense in the CUSA. Last year, they held opponents to 52.8%.
Houston has four linebackers who could find themselves on NFL rosters after they graduate. Wade Koehl, Brendan Pahulu, Cody Lubojasky, and Trent Allen combined for 328 tackles with 32 for losses. They quartet defended 12 passes.
The four spoke secondary has three competent returnees in Willie Gaston, Rocky Schwartz, and Will Gulley. Gulley missed all of last year due to injury, while Gaston and Schwartz combined for 21 defended passes.
The front three has some good returning talent. End Cody Pree and tackle Marquay Love return and should increase their total tackle numbers.
Leading the offense is the top quarterback in CUSA. Kevin Kolb can run as ably as a wishbone quarterback, but he passes more like an NFL quarterback. Last year, he completed 60.5% of his passes for 3,258 yards.
Kolb has two star receivers returning. Vincent Marshall and Donnie Avery could both challenge the 1,000 receiving yard mark this year. Both are deep threats. Anthony Alridge figures to be the third starter after he caught 13 passes at a 22.7 average. Jeron Harvey gives Houston yet another deep threat.
The running game took a blow when Ryan Gilbert and his 1,037 yards used up his eligibility. Jackie Battle inherits the job, but he rushed for only 3.8 yards per carry. Expect the speedy receiver Marshall to get numerous touches on the reverse. Last year, he carried seven times for 85 yards.
The offensive line is not a major force, but two players stand out. Center Sterling Doty and tackle Sirvincent Rogers lead the way.
When Marshall isn't catching passes or running reverses, he is one of the top punt returners in the land. Last year, he averaged 14.6 yards per return including taking one to the house.
Houston should open 3-0 with Rice, Tulane, and Grambling to kick off the season. Game four finds the Cougars hosting Oklahoma State, and that could mean 4-0. After a probable trouncing at Miami (Fla), they host UL-Lafayette. The 5-1 start should give the Cougars confidence. Houston hosts both Tulsa and UTEP, so it isn't out of the realm that they will win both games and take the West Division title. All told, expect Houston to win at least eight games and possibly as many as 10 in the regular season, which adds up to another bowl.
4. S M U Mustangs
PiRate: 90 National Ranking: 94 (t) HFA: 3
SMU narrowly missed out on their first winning season since 1997 and what would have been their second since suffering the death penalty back in the mid 1980's. The Mustangs finished 5-6 with narrow losses to Baylor, Marshall, East Carolina, and Tulsa; they upset Houston and UTEP to conclude the season. The Mustangs lost some key talent, but they should be the best of the non-contending West Division teams and if the ball bounces just right, SMU could squeeze out six or seven wins.
Redshirt freshman Justin Willis takes over at quarterback, He has a strong arm, but he won't match the stats produced by Jerad Romo. Romo's job may be easier thanks to running back DeMyron Martin, who returns after running for 854 yards in 2005.
All four starting receivers return from last year. Tight end Ryan Kennedy and wide outs Bobby Chase, Reynaldo Pellerin, and Zack Sledge will give Willis excellent targets. Chase is the leader of this group.
The offensive line lacks any stars and could be the reason why SMU fails to score enough points to win six games.
Defensively, the line is the strong point. Tackle Adrian Haywood and end Justin Rogers combined for 22.5 tackles behind the line.
The back eight will struggle at times, and teams with highly-skilled passers could torch the Mustangs. Safety Joe Sturdivant is the lone exception here. Last year, he earned 2nd team All-CUSA honors after leading SMU with 112 tackles and defending 14 passes.
The schedule gives SMU a chance to win eight times this year, but I believe they will win only four times. Those four will most likely be at North Texas, Sam Houston State, Arkansas State, and Marshall. Games at Tulane, East Carolina, and Rice plus at home against UAB gives SMU an outside chance at bowl eligibility.
5. Rice Owls
PiRate: 85 National Ranking: 105 HFA: 3
After falling off to a 1-10 season, Rice begins anew with a different coach and different coaching style. Taking over for Ken Hatfield is Todd Graham, who most recently was the defensive coordinator at Tulsa.
Rice will switch from the option offense to a pro offense this year, but they do not have the proper talent to make a go of it as a passing team. It is going to take a few recruiting classes to make this offense successful.
Quarterbacks Chase Clement and Joel Armstrong both return this year, but neither is likely to make a spread passing game go. Both passers completed less than 43% of their 2005 passes. Clement is supposed to be a better passer than his stats indicate, but if he cannot run the offense, look for top freshman recruit Pierre Beasley to take over.
The Owls will still have a running presence. Quinton Smith ran for 902 yards in the option scheme. As the feature runner, he could challenge for 1,000 yards.
The top three receivers return, but Jarrett Dillard, Mike Falco, and Tommy Henderson only caught 65 combined passes. Falco averaged 26 yards on his eight receptions.
Four of the starting five linemen from 2005 return. The 2006 quintet will have a rough time blocking for the pass, as Rice gave up 21 sacks (and they only passed 19 times a game) last year.
The defense gave up 40.6 and 455 yards per game in 2005. Against the pass, the Owls allowed enemy passers 65.5% completions, and a slow secondary was too generous getting to the receivers after they caught the ball.
None of the projected 2006 starters figure to earn even honorable mention All-CUSA. The best of the bunch are safeties Chad Price and Andray Downs, the two leading returning tacklers. Price is excellent on the safety blitz, as his 9.5 tackles for loss attest.
Linebacker Omeke Alikor registered 49 tackles. Nose guard George Chukwu and end Jonathan Cary are the two best linemen.
Perhaps the best defensive weapon the Owls have is punter Jared Scruggs. Last year, he averaged 42.8 yards per boot.
Rice faces a brutal non-conference schedule. They play at UCLA, get Texas at Reliant Stadium in Houston, venture to Florida State, and play at Army. That's four losses right there. Unfortunately, the weakest conference foe on the schedule, Tulane, must be played in New Orleans. Home games against UAB, East Carolina, and SMU offer the only remote chances for a win in 2006. I believe chances are 50-50 that Rice fails to win in 2006. At best, the Owls can hope to win one game.
6. Tulane Green Wave
PiRate: 82 National Ranking: 111 HFA: 3
What is there to say about this program that hasn't been said? Tulane still faces a tough go of it trying to get back to normal. After winning only two games last year, the Green Wave may find themselves hard-pressed to equal that in 2006.
Tulane returns talented players at quarterback, tailback, and wide receiver, but the offensive line was devastated by graduation. Guard Michael Parenton earned a spot on the freshman All-CUSA team.
Quarterback Lester Ricard slumped badly last year, completing 51.4% of his passes. Top receiver Preston Brown caught 47 throws for 720 yards and six touchdowns. Top running back Matt Forte made the freshman All-CUSA team after running for 655 yards.
The defense lost its top five tacklers, and 2006 could see the Wave surrender much more points and yardage than last season (they gave up 31.6 points and 373 yards then).
Four players with starting experience return to the front line. End Antonio Harris recorded six tackles for loss.
The entire linebacking corps must be rebuilt. Two sophomores and a true freshman are likely to start.
The secondary returns just one starter, and that is cornerback Israel Route.
Tulane will finally get to host a home game, when SMU comes to the Superdome on September 30. By that time, the Green Wave will be 0-3 after losing at Houston, Mississippi State, and LSU. Road games at UTEP, Auburn, and Tulsa guarantee three more blowout losses. A home game against Rice should provide the Green Wave with a chance for a victory, while Army could be a second chance. Odds are, TU will go 1-11.
Next Up: The Mountain West Conference. Will the MWC produce a BCS Bowl participant this year, and if so, which team will it be?

Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) - Andrew Luck threw a pair of second-half touchdown passes, and the sixth-ranked Stanford Cardinal pulled away to notch a 37-10 road victory over the Arizona Wildcats in the Pac-12 opener for both teams.
Luck, who finished with 325 yards, now has thrown 53 TD passes in his career, moving past Jim Plunkett for third place on the school's all-time list. He trails only John Elway (77) and Steve Stenstrom (72).
Stepfan Taylor gained 153 yards on 22 carries for Stanford (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12), which has won 11 games in a row, the longest active winning streak in the nation after Auburn's 17-game run came to an end with Saturday's loss at Clemson.
Nick Foles completed his first 17 passes for Arizona (1-2, 0-1), but went 7- for-16 the rest of the way.
Luck appeared to be intercepted near the goal line on the second Stanford drive. The Cardinal caught a break when a video review overturned the call to an incomplete pass. Jordan Williamson came on to kick a 20-yard field goal to put Stanford on the board.
The Cardinal marched to the Arizona 24 on their next possession. On fourth- and-short, Anthony Wilkerson took a pitch and scampered down the left sideline for a touchdown.
After the teams traded field goals, Foles led the Wildcats on an 11-play, 79- yard drive that he finished with a six-yard strike to Juron Criner. Not only did the touchdown trim Arizona's deficit to 13-10 with 5:57 left in the second quarter, but it was the 46th of Foles' career, tying him with Tom Tunnicliffe for second all-time in school history.
Stanford moved into the red zone on the ensuing drive, but settled for a 33- yard Williamson field goal.
Arizona still trailed by six after Jaime Salazar missed from 45 yards as the first half ended. The woes continued for Salazar, who failed to convert a 36- yard attempt on Arizona's initial drive of the third quarter.
Later in the frame, Luck found Zach Ertz for a 16-yard TD.
Stanford was forced to punt on its next series, but a penalty prolonged the drive. And on the first play of the fourth quarter, Luck hooked up with Levine Toilolo for a 34-yard TD.
Jeremy Stewart capped the scoring and a 12-play drive that originated from Stanford's own nine-yard line with a two-yard TD run.

Packaged Ship Weight:2.85 Servings:20 Dosage Size:1 Scoop(s) Flavor title:Fruit Punch Six Star Pro Nutrition - Professional Strength Creatine X3 Elite Series Fruit Punch - 2.5 lbs. (1.13kg) Professional strength Creatine X3 elite series brought to you buy the Makers of MuscleTech! Six Star Professional Strength CreatineX3 is a scientifically engineered anabolic creatine formula that's designed to deliver explosive gains in muscle size and strength. At the foundation of the Professional Strength Creatine formula is an anabolically charged blend of multiple forms of creatine including HPLC-tested creatine monohydrate and creatine phosphate. Regular creatine products do not address the need to load creatine with a strategic insulin driver. This is what makes Professional Strength Creatine superior. Designed with a state-of-the-art creatine loading delivery system, Professional Strength Creatine is superior to regular creatine supplements. By harnessing the anabolic power of nitric oxide and insulin, Professional Strength Creatine floods the bloodstream and forces creatine into your muscles. The end result is accelerated creatine uptake that elevates cell volumization. Translation: dramatic gains in muscle growth and strength faster than you ever believed possible. The key ingredients in Six Star Professional Strength Creatine have been shown in university, gold-standard human studies to be superior to regular creatine for building muscle and increasing strength.‡In one 3-week study, subjects taking one of these key ingredients in Six Star Professional Strength Creatine gained, on average, 4 times the lean mass than subjects taking a placebo as precisely calculated using calibrated skin fold calipers (4.84 vs. 1.1 lbs.). The power is in the science – Professional Strength Creatine is the muscle building solution bodybuilders need for fast, extreme results. Who is Professional Strength Creatine X3 For? Strength Athletes Body Builders Recreational Weight Trainers Men & Women Who Want to Support Their Fitness Goals What Are the Benefits of Professional Strength X3? Engineered for Rapid and Dramatic Muscle Growth Test Subjects Gained Over 4x the Muscle in 3 Weeks Core Ingredient Shown to Deliver 18.6% More Strength in Just 10 Days Provides Cellular Energy to Muscles & Improves Between-Set Recovery Mixes Instantly & Tastes Amazing. Why You Should Use Professional Strength Creatinex3If you're looking for a premium and powerful creatine formula, Professional Strength CreatineX3 is right for you! Formulated with a powerful dose of creatine, and featuring fast-absorbing, glycogen-replenishing carbs, Professional Strength CreatineX3 offers much more than those low-dose creatine supplements! Loading creatine into your muscles helps to enhance ATP resynthesis, a critical source of muscle cell energy used during high-intensity training. This helps increase between-set muscle recovery and amplifies strength, which ultimately leads to more muscle growth… and the science backs it. In one 3-week study, those taking the creatine found in Professional Strength CreatineX3 gained an incredible 4 times the lean muscle than those taking a placebo (4.84 vs. 1.1 lbs.). In a separate study, subjects taking the same form of creatine gained 18.6% more strength in just 10 days! It's time you built a stronger, more muscular body. Get your hands on it today! See The Science For Yourself In a 3-week, double-blind study conducted on 41 weight-trained subjects divided into two groups and conducted by researchers from St. Francis Xavier University and the University of Saskatchewan, subjects using the creatine in Professional Strength CreatineX3 with a weight-training program gained, on average, more than 4 times the lean mass than subjects using a placebo (4.84 vs. 1.1 lbs.). Researchers in this Six Star Pro Nutrition-funded study determined these results using calibrated estimating skin fold calipers. In a 10-day study conducted at Ohio State University on 31 weight-trained test subjects randomly assigned to one of three groups, subjects consuming the same form of creatine found in Professional Strength CreatineX3 with a training program increased their strength capacity on the bench press by 18.6% compared to baseline (6,658 vs. 5,613 joules). Testing was performed using 70% of the subjects' one-rep max bench press. Repetitions were counted to the one-half repetition and the results were multiplied by force exerted and distance traveled and then converted to joules.

Top 4 Ab Exercises for a Ripped Six-Pack If you're looking for that strong and lean look in your abs, then you are going to have to work hard at it. Luckily, if you do the right exercises in the right proportions, you can ensure optimal results and maximize your workout efficiency. The following exercises will provide you with the right guidance to strengthen the abdominal muscles and get you on the road to a leaner, well-defined six-pack! Do 3 sets of each of the following exercises at least two times a week and always aim for failure on each set: Weighted Sit-Ups Purpose:An advanced exercise used to maximize strength and muscular endurance in the stomach region (rectus abdominis). Execution:Start by lying flat on the floor with your knees bent. Grasp a dumbbell with both hands and hold it over your head.Crunch all the way up until both shoulder blades come off the ground and then reach over your knees with the weight in hand and touch your feet with the dumbbell (exhale).Slowly return your upper body to the starting position (inhale), touch the floor over your head with the weight and then repeat. Knee-Up Crunches Purpose:To develop the muscles of the lower abdominal area (rectus abdominis). Execution:Lie down on your back and lift your legs off the ground and cross your feet. Keeping your legs up at a 90-degree angle, place your hands behind your head and crunch up until your shoulder blades come off the ground (exhale), keeping your head looking up at the ceiling. Slowly return back to the starting position (inhale) and then repeat. Bicycle Crunches Purpose:This exercise is used to develop the muscles of the stomach (rectus abdominis) and side muscles of the stomach (obliquus externus abdominis). Execution:Start by lying flat on the floor with both knees bent. Bring both knees up off the floor until your upper leg is parallel with the floor. Crunch up until both shoulder blades come off the ground and then twist your upper body so that one elbow touches your opposite knee (exhale). Slowly return your upper body to the starting position and then repeat on the other side. Continue alternating each side until the desired number of repetitions are achieved. Leg Raises Purpose:Targets the muscles of the core (rectus abdominis, obliquus externus abdominis, erector spinae) with special emphasis on the pelvic (iliopsoas) muscles as well. Execution:Lie on your back with your hands placed on the floor on either side of you. With your toes pointing forward, lift both legs up at the same time until a 90-degree angle is reached at the waist (exhale). Slowly lower your legs back down to the starting position (inhale) and repeat the motion just before your feet touch the floor! If you want to look in the mirror and see a washboard stomach staring back at you, then you must be consistent with your efforts. Performing these exercises sporadically isn't going to get you the results you want. If you can do this routine at least two times per week, and follow a clean diet, you will be on the road to washboard abs.
