ESPN Stories / June / Rolo / Smelly Bag

Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com has a post-spring WAC breakdown. Here's an excerpt on UH.

Spring answers: 1. Plenty of targets for Colt: Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan might not have soap for the showers in the team's locker room, but he has plenty of targets in the pass-happy offense. Leading receivers Davone Bess, Jason Rivers and Ryan Grice-Mullen each return, after the trio combined for more than 200 receptions, 3,100 yards and 36 touchdowns in 2006. Cornerback C.J. Hawthorne, the fastest player on the team, moved to receiver in the spring, and youngsters Aaron Bain, Antwan Mahaley, Greg Salas and Michael Washington look promising. Converted tackle Cameron Allen-Jones is now a big target at tight end.

Schlabach and Ivan Maisel list the three things they're looking forward to in the WAC. Here's Maisel's #1:

1. Tailback Ian Johnson of Boise State and quarterback Colt Brennan of Hawaii had the time of their young lives a year ago. They are being promoted as the WAC's Heisman candidates this season. It's one thing to learn how to negotiate defenses. It's quite another to deal with heightened expectations and the demands on their time. Let's see how they handle being watched.

And this is disgusting.

A Cincinnati-area family got a smelly surprise when they opened a punching bag they purchased earlier this year.

Joe Heckel said he and his son were moving a TKO brand heavy punching bag from their garage to the basement when they decided to see what was inside in case the bag later leaked. But Heckel said that instead of sand or plastic pellets, he found the bag full of men's and women's underwear, some of it used.

"(There were) bras, thongs and bathing suits. We could not believe there were clothes inside instead of sand," he said.

Heckel said the smell was "bad, real bad."

And here's a slideshow showing the contents of the bag. Mercifully, no pictures of skidmarks. Enjoy.
