Morning Linkage: Pete Carroll, Britney Spears, and More

If you are looking for a laugh today head over to SportsHub LA and listen to an interview I did with Brian and Andrew Kamenetzky. The brothers are the real deal. They have been known to write for the LA Times, movies, and even for the Worldwide Leader. They also have a book out about the Dennis Rodman of fishing.

Needless to say, they did me a huge favor by having me on and I had blast. In case you could not tell, this was the first real interview I have ever given. I hope that is not too obvious.

The words “Britney Spears” and “condoms” do not appear in the same conversation as often as they should, but Pete Carroll’s Tuesday press conference was the exception to the rule. Follow this link. Hilarity (kinda) ensues. It was not totally original, however. The SEC had to deal with it last year.

You heard what Ray Small had to say about the Trojans. But do you know exactly what he is talking about? David Wharton sheds some light on a pre-game ritual that may not be for everyone.

For a very entertaining conversation about the game this weekend, check out Orson …er, I mean Spencer Hall and Matt Hayes talking shop. You may not learn anything, but I guarantee you will smile a few times.

Check out Chris Fowler’s weekly column for some interesting stats and trends, which favor the Buckeyes on Saturday.

Head over to Bleacher Report and read columnist, and big Ohio State fan, Kristofer Green's takes a look back at other close calls by Buckeyes in the Tressel era. He says it is not all bad.
