...Ball Coach went into Knoxville and continued his complete dominance over Philip Fulmer and the Vols, running his record against Tennessee to 10-5. More importantly, the victory left Spurrier just a win away from becoming bowl eligible with games at Arkansas and at home versus Florida and Clemson still remaining. (And had South Carolina been able to convert a two-point conversion in Athens, the Gamecocks contest against the Gators would be for the SEC East division title.)With that, let’s get to this weekend’s action.North Carolina State at Florida State (-13.5)Beware...
...they haven't reckoned with cyberspace. Cyberbullying can mean anything from posting pejorative items like the List of Hos to spreading rumors by e-mail to harassing by instant message. It was experienced in the preceding two months by 18% of 3,700 middle schoolers surveyed by researchers at Clemson University. Their study is scheduled to be presented at this month's American Psychological Association meeting. The phenomenon peaks at about age 13; 21% of eighth-graders surveyed reported being cyberbullied recently. And incidents of online bullying are like roaches: for every one that's reported, many more go unrecorded...
Online bullying follows a gender pattern that's the opposite of what happens off-line, the Clemson study found. On playgrounds and in school hallways, boys are the primary perpetrators and victims; online, girls rule.

Actually, it does. When a cyberbully lashes out, it can be a sign of emotional or psychological problems. And cyberbullying is viral. The Clemson study found that kids who are victimized "seem to be heavily involved in bullying others," says psychologist Sue Limber. In the real world, physical intimidation may keep those who are bullied from retaliating, but that's not a problem online. "Cyberbullying can also lead to other forms of victimization," Limber says. If someone insults a classmate on a Xanga, the effects could include ostracization at school. "Passing notes or writing on lockers was nothing," says Limber...
...named Buddy Ryan, an Oklahoman partial to cowboy boots and farm hats that say HORIZON SEEDS. In an era when most coaches feel obliged to soothe the players' psyches, Ryan is a link to the past. He took one wide look at "the Refrigerator" last summer and declared the Clemson first rounder to be "a wasted draft choice." But this was not an unusual introduction for a Bear rookie. "That's because there ain't one of them that knows what the hell he's doing," Ryan says...
