A lot of people in the office have come down with some sort of illness lately, so I’m taking precautions so I won’t get sick. But it’s bound to happen anyway. Plenty of coughing is going on all around me, and complaints of headaches are everywhere. If you don’t hear from me on Monday, you know I am down with something. Bring me soup, if you don’t mind.

In college football news, Florida head coach Jim McElwain previewed the Gators spring practice, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said he is glad the Wolverines lost the close games last season, and we take a look at the oddest and strangest people that SEC coaches follow on Twitter. Here are some other newsworthy notes from around college football.

Shunning In Eugene – New Oregon head coach Willie Taggart has had a rough start to his time with the Ducks, and now he is not talking to or taking questions from the main beat writer at The Oregonian.

Andrew Grief reported on the players that were hospitalized after strenuous workouts, and the story he wrote sat wrong with Taggart.

“When you’re not fair and honest, then to me that’s personal,” Taggart said. “When you do something that’s negative and it’s going to be personal, then I won’t have sh*t to do with you.”

This is not the attention Oregon wanted in hiring Taggart.

Eating Fresh – Tom Herman is now paid a lot of money as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns, but earlier in his life he was fired from Subway.

“I used to love the pastrami. They had those big walk-in refrigerators. I was standing in there one day, with the door shut, just throwing pastrami in my mouth. It was like something out of a movie. I’ve got this bin of meat, throwing meat in my mouth, the door swings open and it’s the owner. He goes, ‘Get out. Don’t come back.’”

Do Not Pass Go – Nebraska receivers coach Keith Williams will be spending some time in jail after he pleaded no contest to third-offense drunken driving.

Williams also received three years probation and fined $1,000.
