The SEC is going to be a rude awakening for Kalen Defraud.

He's like Rick Neuheisel at Colorado. Bill McCartney left the cupboard full at Colorado. Rick could never do better than 10-2 with an absolutely loaded roster.

DaBoer. Oh yeah, he ll flop at Alabama. UW actually got a decent coach to replace him.

When we moved out west, there was 4 of us in 2 cars pulling u-Hauls (Jeep Cherokee and a Ford Ranger). We made the drive in January, so we stayed south until we hit California. Absolutely stuffed to the gills, with 4 dogs, 3 cats and about a half dozen reptiles.packed in between the 2 vehicles. Me and my girlfriend at the time, and one of my best friends and her boyfriend. We get to El Paso, and my chuckle-head friend decides she wants to cross the border to get "real" Mexican food. I should add, my girlfriend was the only "normal" looking person, me and my friend's boyfriend looked like long haired stoners, and my friend was a tom boy and had a buzz cut with a really long rat tail (it was 1994). We go into Mexico (Juarez), no problem... they wave us through. We get on the other side of the bridge, and its very late dusk....there is trash in the road, people moving around in the shadows, and an army jeep with a dude hanging off a .50 cal drives by. We jump right back in line to go back to El Paso, and when we get to the border guard, they immediately point us to secondary. There are about 5 agents waiting for us, and they are trying to pick our story apart, and tell me to open the back of my u-Haul. I do, and it is completely packed top to bottom front to back...the kind of packing feat you can only accomplish once. And I'm thinking just that...."there is no way I am going to be able to get that all back in there the way I had it" The Border Agents looked at each other, looked at me and asked how long we were there (just long enough to realize it was a bad idea and get back out) and why we went there (for Mexican Food). The guy yelled at us "Any food you get there is going to give you the sh*ts!! If you want "real" Mexican food there is a Taco Bell right over there! Get out of here before I change my mind!" At dinner later that night (we did not go to Taco Bell), we discuss the ordeal and one of the guards told someone in the group that there was a native uprising in Southern Mexico a few days before, so they were basically under martial law (hence the Army Jeep). Also found out that the friend's boyfriend had a ton of weed on him (basically enough to hold over the 4 of us a couple months until we found the "scene". Not to mention the reptiles, which included a reticulated python, a Savannah monitor, and a Nile monitor. The Retic Python and Nile Monitor are particularly aggressive, who knows how the guards would have handled that situation.... Definitely not fun at the time, but I can look back and laugh about it now.
