* Cultural Stereotyping Already Rearing Its Ugly Head At The World Cup. The caption accompanying the above photo: June 11, 2010 — 06020201 date 11 06 2010 A Mexican supporter goes to The Toilet. Shameful. Simply shameful. As Bob’s Blitz astutely points out, how do they know this guy is a fan of Mexico? [Sportress of Blogitude]
* A&M Regent Stallings: TX To Pac-10 ‘Is Accurate’. Former longtime college football coach and current Texas A&M Board of Regents member Gene Stallings guested on the syndicated Paul Finebaum radio show Friday afternoon. When told of the reports of Texas electing to join the Pac-10, Stallings said: “I think that’s accurate. I think that’s their desire.” [SportsbyBrooks]
* Blogfrica’s World Cup Predictions: A Cavalcade of Stars. As we arrive at the onset of the 2010 World Cup, I reached out to what seemed like all of Blogfrica for predictions on the tournament. I spoke with both experts on soccer and those that barely knew it was played with a ball. If I could have deciphered what the homeless guy on the corner was mumbling about Spain’s chances, I would have included it here. [Daddy's Sugar Ball]
* Girls Lacrosse Players Just Want To Have Fun. Police said they found Virden, 18, and Fernandez, 19, hiding under a bed in a house in Columbia where the party was held. Police said they had to take apart the frame of the bed after Virden and Fernandez ignored orders to come out and remained under the bed after police shot pepper spray into an opening.

As a Texas A&M fan, I can tell you they are also looking at possibly going to the SEC.
“The Aggies may not have much time. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was en route from Colorado to the states of Texas and Oklahoma with invitations in hand, a source familiar with the process confirmed. If the Aggies cannot commit, the Pac-10 is prepared to invite Kansas with its great basketball tradition. While the Jayhawks are desperate to find a landing spot, they would have to leave in-state rival Kansas State, a political problem.” (The Dallas Morning News)
I personally don’t have anything against the Pac10, but it’s going to be difficult for me to get used to watching football that starts on a Saturday night at 9:00 PM.
