The Dunkin' Doughnuts Scholarship Fund

"Since you are being saturated with Super Bowl coverage, I thought I would have a Super Post day. Five short posts about non-Super Bowl related news. If you don't care about one of the topics, move on to another."

Apparently, Heath Evans is not a big Tommy Tuberville fan. In this article, Evans, who was recruited by Terry Bowden, details how Tuberville didn't think he was an SEC caliber player. This on the heals of having a great game against Tuberville the year before when he was the coach at Ole Miss.

Isn't it fascinating how many players succed at the college level and don't at the pro level? Likewise, there are a number of players that were not starters in college, yet go on to have solid pro careers. I guess it's all about opportunity. Being in the right place and system at the right time.
Also I love how Evans gets the final shot at Tuberville. He's going to give back, not by endowing a scholarship or by making a donation to the athletic program, but by opening a Dunkin' Doughnuts franchise in Auburn. Nice. Nothing says "Thank you for all that you've done for me", like a cream filled doughnut.
