NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Rice hosting C-USA baseball; ECU starts early
After winning the regular season
Conference USA championship in its first year in the league, top-ranked Rice
will host the 2006 Conference USA Championship as the No. 1 seed, beginning
Wednesday at Reckling Park in Houston.
The Owls finished with a 22-2 record in
C-USA play, the best winning percentage (.917) in league history. At 46-10
overall, Rice owns the best record in Division I baseball. The Owls have won
11 consecutive regular season conference championships, dating back to the
final year of the Southwest Conference, according to a release at
ecupirates.com.
The Owls will face UAB (19-36) in the
third game of the tournament on Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. EDT. The championship
will get underway at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Wednesday when No. 6 seed East
Carolina (32-24, 10-14) takes on No. 3 seed Tulane (39-17, 15-9), the
defending co-champion.
Inman
gets two-game suspension at UGa
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has
reported that Georgia will be without offensive lineman Daniel Inman for the
first two games next season after the senior-to-be was suspended for
violating team policy.
The paper cited a university
announcement as its source. Inman initially committed to East Carolina from
Hope Mills South View High but later accepted a grant to Georgia. His dad,
Wayne, is head football coach at Terry Sanford High in Fayetteville. Wayne
Inman was an outstanding offensive lineman for the Pirates during his
college career from 1977 to 1980.
Inman is the fourth Georgia player to
be suspended this offseason, joining defensive back Antonio Sims, linebacker
Dannell Ellerbe and offensive lineman Ian Smith. Sims will miss all of next
season, Smith the first game. Ellerbe's fate has not been determined.
Inman's suspension could prove to be
the most costly for Georgia. He and Nick Jones are the only returning
starters on a depleted offensive line. While the Bulldogs could plug the
hole with a less experienced player against Western Kentucky, they have a
tough Week 2 test against South Carolina in Columbia.
The AJC stated that Georgia coach Mark
Richt was not available for comment. Inman, a three-year starter, declined
to comment on the suspension.
Inman is being sued for his involvement
in an August 2004 fight at Athens' Boar's Head restaurant, according to
court documents. According to the lawsuit, Inman and another patron, William
Gorman, got into a verbal altercation. The suit alleges Inman then ". . .
suddenly and without any warning whatsoever" struck Gorman in the face.
The lawsuit states Gorman received
severe injuries at the time and continues to suffer. Gorman is asking to be
awarded a sufficient amount to cover his medical bills and legal fees. He is
also asking for unspecified punitive damages.
Inman has been served and the case is
in discovery process, said Mitchell Warnock, one of Gorman's attorneys.
Inman has not been arrested by the university or Athens-Clarke County Police
in connection with the incident.
Tide linebacker booked on multiple charges
The Birmingham News has reported that
Alabama starting linebacker Juwan Simpson was arrested Saturday by the
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and charged with receiving stolen
property, possession of marijuana and carrying a pistol without a license.
Simpson, 21, was booked at the Bessemer
Jail. He is free after posting a bond of $7,000, according to a deputy at
the jail. The bonds included $5,000 for receiving stolen property and $1,000
each for marijuana possession and the firearm charge.
A senior and Decatur native, Simpson
has started at linebacker for two years. He was a 2005 Academic
All-Southeastern Conference selection who earned his undergraduate degree in
financial planning in December. He is pursuing a second degree in criminal
justice, according to UA media relations.
