So you’re already out there
supporting the home team in various online competitions
and such. While you’re at it, why not lend a hand to USC linebacker (and Eureka native) Rey Maualuga?
Over at this page
, a sponsor of the Heisman Trophy ceremonies is selling off its Heisman vote to the highest bidder, Internet-poll-style. Maualuga, the rock star of the USC squad, is a definite contender.
What makes Maualuga the legend that he is? You can get a good taste of it by checking the
Rey-tagged posts
at AOL’s
Fanhouse
blog. I’m particularly partial to
this one
, which examines the trash-talk tactics behind a T-shirt-inspiring own-side tackle.
This article appears in Our Fire, Our Fight.
If you notice the other players on that ballot, they all play Offense. I think Ray will be a star all season long, but he will not win the Heisman.
However, next April, when the NFL has its annual draft, Ray will be set for life.
His hard work, and talent will pay off!!!
