Ross Wrecks Car, Durant Wrecks Arkansas

I'm home for the break but not entirely out of the loop.
In case you are: Aaron Ross had a strange day Thursday morning. The Stateman's Suzanna Halliburton reports that he was slightly injured in a car accident after apparently falling asleep on his way to practice. Police found him at near a restaurant after management called the police saying there'd been an attempted robbery.
Ross wasn't arrested and is expected to play in the Alamo Bowl. He's from the San Antonio area, and I don't think a pack of wild dogs could keep him from playing in this game.

I was at the Texas - Arkansas mens basketball game. The most impressive thing about Kevin Durant was that while it seemed to turn in a lackluster performance, he finished with 26 points and 13 boards -- his fifth double-double of the season.
Razorback head coach Stan Heath took notice of the freshman.
"We didn’t have much of an answer for him," he said. " He is a special, special player, and I think he was the difference in the game."

Former Texas quarterback Major Applewhite's Rice plays today in the New Orleans bowl. It's been a bit of a storybook year for the Owls who won their last six games en route to a 7-5 record and their first bowl appearance in 45 years.
