Weekly Top 4 "T"s

Weekly Top 4 “T”s

Tuesday starts with T, you know what else starts with T…

1. Trick or Treat

Roy Williams attended old teammate Mike Furrey’s charity Halloween event. Roy Williams… the one who isn't even on the team anymore. On the other, he did have the best costume.

Williams came dressed as former Lions running back Tatum Bell, who made national headlines two months ago when he was accused of stealing the travel bags of new (and his replacement) Detroit running back Rudi Johnson. Complete with a bellhop uniform with a big name tag that said "T. Bell.''

He also wore shorts on the outside of his pants that said "Rudi'' on the front and "Johnson 32'' on the back.

Thankfully, Williams informed Bell what he was going to do (doing it the manly way, the text message) and got the running back's approval.

2. Talented Mr. Harrison

Zach Harrison, a Minnesota State forward scored three consecutive goals against North Dakota, all of them shorthanded.

In hockey lore, its known as a "natural" hat trick. There have still only been six shorthanded hat tricks in Division I history. So the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto took his stick and will keep it in their archives.


3. Threats strike Alabama. But who is to blame?

Charles Barkley said he's going to run for governor in Alabama.

Barkley told CNN's Campbell Brown on Monday.

"I plan on it in 2014," he said.

When asked if he was serious, the former 76er and current screw up said, "I am, I can't screw up Alabama."

Adding his strong positive spin on things, Barkley said that his native state could only improve.

What were those positive, calming words…

"We are number 48 in everything and Arkansas and Mississippi aren't going anywhere," Barkley said.

Good luck Alabama, you still have time to escape.

4. Ty Willingham tags out, Lane Kiffin tags in?

Former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin has expressed interest in the opening at the University of Washington according to the Associated Press

“The University of Washington is a great job, one that I’m sure a lot of people have an interest in,” Kiffin told AP.

It came open for 2009 on Monday afternoon when Washington announced Willingham’s dismissal, effective at the end of this season.

At least his life is not in danger coaching the Huskies. Although we will have to wait and see.

You can’t shake an Al Davis. Here he is plotting with the "dark side."
