  5. We dont want you, get lost, buying the club will possibly be the worst thing you do as we wont supply the revenues. ::goodbye:: Three Manchester United directors have been booted off the Old Trafford board as Malcolm Glazer exacted revenge for his stalled takeover bid. Highly-respected legal adviser Maurice Watkins, new commercial director Andy Anson and non-executive director Philip Yea all had their appointments blocked after a representative of the American business tycoon turned up at the club's annual general meeting to cast his 28.11% stake in the club against the trio's re-election. With majority shareholders Cubic Expression following their own convention by abstaining and most City institutions following suit, the vote on Glazer's behalf was enough to deliver a massive bodyblow to chief executive David Gill, who recommended all three men should remain in position. A statement from Manchester United PLC confirmed: "Certain resolutions at the Annual General Meeting were rejected, including those relating to the reappointment of Maurice Watkins, Philip Yea and Andy Anson as directors. "This was principally a result of The Glazer Family Partnership ('Glazer Family') voting against the resolutions. "Had the Glazer Family abstained or voted in favour of these resolutions they would all have been passed. "The board are very disappointed with this outcome as we do not believe it is in the best interests of the company. "Our focus as a board will continue to be on running the business and we will be discussing with our advisers over the next few days our response to the failure of these resolutions." Fearing such an outcome in the build-up to the meeting, Gill had taken legal advice on how the club should now proceed. While Watkins, an Old Trafford board member for more than 20 years, and Anson can continue their work for the club, neither man can be directly involved in key decisions, while Yea may be forced to sever his ties completely. The stunning move sends United into a chaotic situation and seriously weakens Gill, who together with finance director Nick Humby is one of only two executive directors remaining on the board, just a month after his public announcement that he was breaking off talks with Glazer over the possibility of a takeover because it required too much debt. It raises the alarming possibility of a hostile approach from the American or Glazer demanding a seat on the board. No-one from the club was immediately available to comment on the dramatic development, although chairman Sir Roy Gardner had earlier outlined the problems being caused by incessant takeover talk. "My hope is that we can bring more stability to the club's ownership structure because there is little doubt that the continuing talk of takeover is disrupting to our many stakeholders," he said. Gardner added that the intention of the United board was to seek talks with Glazer over his immediate plans. These plans must be moved forward as a matter of high urgency as a massive question mark now hangs over the club. Shareholders United, the influential fans' group who have campaigned so vigorously against Glazer's involvement in the club, were quick to urge Gill to take a hard-line stance against the American. "We hope the board will not waver in their decision to knock back Malcolm Glazer's bid," said SU spokesman Oliver Houston. "That decision was based on sound financial principles. It would have plunged the club into debt and was clearly not in the best interests of the existing shareholders. "They should not flinch one iota from the decision, which was 100% correct. "Malcolm Glazer has now thrown his toys out of the pram but no-one should be surprised. This is how he behaves. This is why we are so uncomfortable with him being such a large shareholder. "He doesn't do dialogue, comprimise or openness. He wants to ride roughshod over Manchester United but we don't want him and we will pursue any legal means possible to keep him out." http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.dor?STORY_NAME=soccer/04/11/12/SOCCER_Man_Utd_AGM_Lead.html&TEAMHD=soccer
  6. 1. I dont really mind 2. Sleeping 3. Simpsons/The Office (the British version) 4. Yup, I need something to watch to send me to sleep, although the basketball we have instead seems to work 5. Whichever place I manage to stumble into when I am drunk!
  7. You do a weekly diary online for USFbullseye.com. Have you enjoyed that? It's been pretty fun. I've never done something like that, and it's good to be able to express yourself and tell a little more about what's going on. Last movie you saw? Shrek 2. I hadn't seen the first, and I was with my little niece in New York. I wasn't expecting it to be comedic for adults, too, but it was really funny. Best nickname on the offensive line? Chris Carothers. He's "Beef." That's always been there. It fits. It's the only thing I've ever called him. I don't think I've called him "Chris" in my life. How much would you like to play in the NFL? That's everybody's ultimate goal, but you never know. It's helped a lot with Andre (Hall) producing so well. We've always been a pass-protecting O-line, and now we're showing we can run the ball. We need to do it every week, and we haven't been able to do that. http://www.sptimes.com/2004/11/10/Sports/Got_a_minute_Alex_Her.shtml
  8. 79 bull - Unfortunatley I am home for the weekend and so I cannot access ESPN motion atm, but from memory if you try loading the normal ESPN homepage it normally has the last 5-6 top videos one the initial side bar, it might still be on here, if not I am not to sure where you can find it(as I cannot remeber the options in the Motion area of the website) maybe look for something like daily round ups. The video is titled Thursday playback - 24 hours in 2 minutes you might be able to search for it somewhere. Hope this helps
  9. If you go to www.espn.com, there is a tool bar down the right hand, I think you need to download a little bit of software but then you should have access all the videos, you just need to choose the thursday playback.
  10. 35-33 & over 700 combined total yards by the half. Did these guys leave there defense at home?
  11. If you have ESPN motion. checkout the Thursday playback - 24 hours in 2 minutes video, there is a nice 20 second montage of the 4th quater touchdowns
  12. Toughest coaching job? South Florida **** Vitale SPECIAL TO ESPN.COM Oct. 29, 2004 I recently had the pleasure of spending a day with Rick Harmon, the fine writer from the Tampa Tribune. One of the topics we discussed over breakfast at my favorite place, The Broken Egg , was the toughest coaching job in Division I revenue-producing sports. My gut feeling is that the toughest one is men's college basketball at the University of South Florida. Basketball has not caught on at South Florida yet. I know that might come as a surprise to some, but think about this: Coach Robert McCullum has a tiresome task ahead of him. Look at the competition he's already had to face, going 7-20 (1-15 in Conference USA) last season in his first year at the helm. And next season, he has to go to the Big East, with Connecticut, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame on the slate along with Louisville, Cincinnati, Marquette and DePaul (these C-USA schools are also moving to the Big East). McCullum has to deal with playing in an environment that, truth be told, is average at best. Basketball has not caught on at South Florida yet, and the program hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 1992. That spells trouble for recruiting, which is so important in building a program. For every blue-chip recruit you get the opportunity to try to sign, you hear the news from Connecticut and Syracuse that they latched on to a McDonald's All-America. McCullum is in a difficult situation, and you only hope that the athletic administration understands how tough his task is. When you look across America and think about tough jobs, what about Vanderbilt's football coach, Bobby Johnson? Playing in the SEC, life for the Commodores is very difficult, competing against the likes of Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina in your division, plus LSU, Auburn and Alabama lurking on the other side. I only hope that the administrators who analyze and evaluate these coaches, as well as the fans who pass judgment on their abilities, take into consideration how difficult their tasks are. It isn't a level playing field, my friends. When coach McCullum walks into the house of a prospect, do you think he's looked at the same way or has the same shot as Jim Calhoun or Jim Boeheim? Calhoun and Boeheim each have a championship ring (two for Calhoun at UConn). Selling the virtues of South Florida is not as easy as selling the exposure of Connecticut or Syracuse. Some of us lose sight of that. Here's hoping that good things come McCullum's way. From all the reports I've received, he's a hard worker who is pouring his heart and soul into bringing some pride to the campus he represents. Stay tuned to see how it all plays out when South Florida moves to the Big East next season. http://espn.go.com/dickvitale/vcolumn041029-South%20Florida.html

  16. Army runs all over USF to make itself at home ARMY 42, USF 35: Carlton Jones rushes for 225 yards and five touchdowns. By GREG AUMAN, Times Staff Writer Published October 17, 2004 TAMPA - For USF, this was the wrong game at the wrong time and the wrong place. It could have been an easy homecoming win against an Army team that only two weeks ago had lost 19 games in a row and was touted as the nation's worst team. Instead, USF gave up 35 second-half points, blew a 14-point lead and did little to stop Army from handing it a painful 42-35 defeat. "This is a hurting loss," said junior Andre Hall, who rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns but watched the fourth-quarter meltdown from the sideline. "This is the worst. There are so many seniors on this team, and this is their last homecoming. This means a lot to those guys, and it means a lot to me because of that." Like two weeks ago against Southern Miss, the Bulls rallied too late. Pat Julmiste connected with Joe Bain for a 43-yard touchdown with 1:11 remaining to pull within a touchdown. But also for the second straight game, USF couldn't recover an onside kick. "It's the toughest loss since I've been here," cornerback Bruce Gipson said. "It's not a tragedy, but I just hate to lose. This is not the way we play." USF (2-3, 1-2 Conference USA) had never lost consecutive home games. And the Bulls haven't had a losing record this late in a season since their first. Army (2-4, 2-3) has a two-game win streak, its first since 1997, establishing a new identity in its first season under former NFL coach Bobby Ross. The Bulls are left with a short week and long trip to conference leader Louisville for a nationally televised game Friday. At halftime, the story looked to be Hall, who had rushed for 157 yards and two scores. A strained neck sidelined him in the third quarter. And he was trumped by Army's Carlton Jones, who had 18 yards at halftime but finished with 225 and scored touchdowns on five consecutive second-half drives. No player had rushed for as many yards or scored as many touchdowns against USF. "The bottom line was our defense couldn't stop their running game, specifically the toss sweep," coach Jim Leavitt said. "It's one of the toughest losses we've had, certainly, in eight years. Not because it's Army. Army is a good football team. It's because we had an opportunity. We were two touchdowns up, and usually, in that position, we do a good job. We didn't." The game drew a crowd of 36,549, the largest to see USF at Raymond James and largest at home since the Bulls' first game in 1997. They saw one of the biggest disappointments in USF history, turning a 28-14 lead with 2:57 left in the third quarter into a 42-28 deficit and a loss that all but ends USF's hopes of playing in its first bowl game. "We've got to move forward. You've got to. It won't be easy," Leavitt said. "(This) morning will be incredibly hard. There's a lot of guys hurting in our locker room. You think they really wanted to lose, on homecoming especially? We used to have a pretty good homefield advantage. You've got to play well at home to have a chance at a decent team. We've got to change, somehow." In the first half, the Bulls relied almost completely on Hall. He finished with the third-most yards in school history and the most against a Division I-A opponent. USF rushed for a school-record 367 yards. The defense, which played without injured starting cornerback Mike Jenkins, held Army to 124 yards in the first half. It was nowhere to be found in the second, however, allowing Jones to break free for touchdown runs of 59 and 74 yards in the third quarter. Each cut into a 14-point USF lead. His 13-yard run with 12:21 left pulled Army to within 28-26, and his two-point conversion tied it. He wasn't done. USF surrendered all control on a third down at the Army 32 with 10:20 left. Julmiste looked to have freshman Johnny Peyton in stride for a go-ahead touchdown, but the former Pasco High star let the pass go through his fingers. Instead the Bulls punted. Army started at its 12 and drove the length of the field, getting a 48-yard pass to Jeremy Trimble then another touchdown from Jones for a 35-28 lead with 6:25 to play. USF then folded on its first play of the ensuing series when Jackie Chambers fumbled after catching a screen pass. Army took over at the USF 22 and scored on Jones' 1-yard run for a 42-28 lead. The Bulls must collect themselves for a trip to Louisville, which nearly upset Miami on Thursday and will be seeking revenge for double-overtime loss to USF last season. "They lost. We lost," Gipson said. "We're both going to be coming back fired up. "We've got to come back as a unit, as a team." http://www.sptimes.com/2004/10/17/Sports/Army_runs_all_over_US.shtml
