iPod / iPhone dock is finally shipping to those willing to splurge, with a buck under $300 bringing you 100 watts of hair-raising rock through a pair of 4-inch woofers and 1-inch silk dome tweeters. It’s pretty swank for an iPod dock,

LSU recruited White as an, “athlete,” and he knew what that meant. Quarterback wasn’t promised. It probably wasn’t even on the radar. But when West Virginia began recruiting White only as a quarterback and had a spread offense to custom-fit his skills, LSU changed its tune. Its coach told White he could play quarterback. “I didn’t think they were being honest,” White says. Its coach also said the previous year’s top quarterback recruit, JaMarcus Russell, might not have the brains to play quarterback. Like White, Russell was from the Mobile, Ala., area. He knew Russell. “I thought, ‘If they were going to say that about him to me, what were they going to say about me to a [recruit] a year from now?’ ” White says. “I just didn’t trust what I was being told.” So White went to West Virginia, started four years, won four bowl games and set records as a passer and a runner. But here’s the kicker to that story: The LSU coach was Nick Saban, the guy who took lying to a new level a few years later as Dolphins coach.

Apparently former Gator and now Minnesota Viking wide receiver Percy Harvin was invited by some Florida coaches to come speak to a few recruits about his time at the university. The idea was to give them an NFL player’s perspective on how the school helped him not only get to the NFL, but also how they made him a better player in general.Well, things started great as he talked about how good the staff was to the players, how they won a couple championships, and how they helped him become a NFL first rounder…then he started keeping it real.

What we’re hearing:

- Harvin discussed his continuous pot use, and how he was able to smoke it for the majority of his time at UF.

- Harvin also confirmed the long time rumor that he made a mistake and choked his wide receivers coach, and how the school gave him a second chance by covering it up so the media didn’t report it.

- He also talked about the benefits that being a Gator brought to the party scene in Gainesville.

Needless to say, the coaches weren’t very happy.  Maybe they should just stick to Tim Tebow at these events?
