“I sat the whole season out. Everybody knows it,” Austin said. “People thought I was going to feel sorry for myself. … A lot of people talk about my talent. They don’t see the work I put in to try to be the best.” Thus grabbing a late-game fumble recovery for a touchdown to punctuate a 25-8 victory for the East over the West more than made his week in Orlando worthwhile.

The two heavyweight sluggers spent most of the first round clinched against the fence as Beltran closed distance and tied up Pat Barry. Beltran worked for a single leg take down. Barry seemed frustrated and disappointed as much as threatened. Ref Mario Yamasaki restarted the action a little after the three minute mark. Barry then landed a sharp leg kick. Then another. Beltran then landed some uppercuts and forced the clinch again. Barry complained of a nut shot but Yamasaki didn’t agree and let it continue. Beltran worked for a single leg but had to let it go after landing another low blow. After taking a break, Barry took center cage but landed nothing before time expired.

Barry came out aggressive in the second landing hard leg kicks and right hands to the face. Beltran countered but Barry scored in every exchange. Beltran backed him up with a series of uppercuts and body shots then clinched again where he landed foot stomps. Beltran worked a body lock and even got Barry airborne briefly but couldn’t consummate the take down.

Yamasaki restarted it again. Barry threw a high kick. Then landed one in a following exchange. Beltran kept coming forward behind hooks and uppercuts but Barry was countering better. Barry missed with a winging uppercut. Hard uppercut from Beltran. Beltran coming forward with knees from the clinch. Brutal exchange to end the round, Beltran seeming to be getting a slight edge.

Barry landed a high kick to open the third. Beltran fired one of his own. Then Barry landed another high kick. Outside leg kick to Beltran’s thigh. Beltran again with the uppercuts, backs Berry up and forces the clinch. More foot stomps. Crowd boos the foot stomp. More uppercuts and a right-left from Beltran. More dirty boxing from Beltran. Barry forces distance and lands a high kick but Beltran answers with effective dirty boxing. Barry began landing leg kicks and then Beltran took a finger to the eye and asked for a stop to the action. A doctor inspected Beltran but greenlighted more fighting. Barry with more leg kicks. Beltran caught one but then Barry got free and dropped him with another leg kick. Then he followed Beltran down and punched his thigh from top position. Barry then got full mount but stood up.  High kick from Barry. Body punch from Barry. Barry assaulted the leg at the end of the fight and had Beltran staggered and retreating at the end of the fight but didn’t have time to finish.

Barry came into the fight with the better striking pedigree having K-1 experience and training with Duke Roufus. Beltran has carved out his UFC career as a straight up brawler with a win over a Gracie.

ESPN’s Pat Forde gives us the background on Steward, whose first word was “Jayhawks.”Her Facebook page shows off the tat — a mural of Allen Fieldhouse, Jay the Jayhawk, a 2008 National Championship banner and the familiar “Rock Chalk Jayhawk” refrain — as well as photos of Steward with former player Sherron Collins and coach Bill Self. 

It’s not a new tattoo that she is sporting . She’s had it since 2007 .  Kat remarks ”I don’t need to buy KU shirts. I have it on my skin.”  The 30-year-old’s parents weren’t exactly fans of the idea of their daughter getting inked for life.

“He’s never been a tattoo fan — at all,” Steward said of her father. “I told him, ‘I blame you for getting me obsessed with the Jayhawks.’ Now he shows it off.”

“From Day 1,” said Martin, Michigan’s fiery defensive tackle, “(Rodriguez) was never really accepted.”

And he has no one to blame but himself.

Rodriguez left the perfect job at his alma mater, West Virginia. He was a gutsy walk-on as a player in Morgantown in the early 1980s, and an overachieving, innovative mind as a coach two decades later.

He recruited players no one else wanted, and developed them into players everyone wished they had. He was a game away — one game away — from playing in the BCS National Championship Game in 2007, and a heartbreaking home loss to rival Pittsburgh on the last day of the season ended everything.

That marked the beginning of his downfall.

But know this: Rich Rodriguez is a terrific coach. He, ­ not Urban Meyer or Dan Mullen or Chip Kelly, ­ is the original innovator of the spread option offense. He teaches it better than anyone, and will again be successful in the right job at the right time.

It never should have come to this.

And Rodriguez has no one to blame but himself.

Teroni can do it in high heels…which earned her the world record for dribbling the ball 137 times in a row. Teroni had 30 seconds to trump the record of 123 taps — a record held by Teroni from 2003. Teroni appeared on the Today Show to give the performance.
