specting Cao Cao, he thought it might be the right time to give hi

For those about to rock. Fire! We salute you. -- AC/DCSo whom do college football coaches rock and roll to? ESPN has the answers. I asked all 128 FBS coaches for their favorite musical artist. The answers ranged from A to Z -- AC/DC to Led Zeppelin: 80 bands in all.Arkansas Bret Bielema chose The Temptations. When he coached at Wisconsin, he said he would frequently go see them in concert -- front-row seats -- and decided he wanted the band to play at his wedding.There was one small problem. By the time Bielema decided to get married nearly 10 years later at the age of 42, there was only one original member still alive, and he wanted $150,000 to perform at Bret and Jens wedding. Bielema said no thanks.The majority of coaches preferred country artists. Kenny Chesney and George Strait tied the Eagles as the coaches most popular choice. NC States Dave Doeren summed it up best: There are only two kinds of music, he said. Country and western. Doerens pick was Merle Haggard.Like the College Football Playoff, Alabamas Nick Saban had four finalists competing for his favorite artist. He said his iPod has 122 songs from only four artists: Michael Jackson, Elton John, The Rolling Stones and the Eagles.Sabans musical champion? The Eagles.In fact, in 1994, when Saban was the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator, he went to the Eagles Hell Freezes Over Tour in old Cleveland Stadium with then-Browns coach Bill Belichick. Thats right: Saban and Belichick, livin it up at the Hotel California.Kansas States Bill Snyder, college footballs elder statesman, coaches in the Little Apple of Manhattan, Kansas, so perhaps it was fitting he chose Ol Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra, best known for singing about the Big Apple. Snyder actually told me his second choice was Foreigner. I have their CD in my car, the 77-year-old Snyder said before the season.The coaches choices were as unique as their schools uniforms: from Van Halen (Iowa States Matt Campbell) to Van Morrison (New Mexicos Bob Davie). From Daft Punk (Oregons Mark Helfrich) to Prince (West Virginias Dana Holgorsen and Oklahoma States Mike Gundy). From old school -- George Clinton was the funkadelic choice of Illinois Lovie Smith -- to young (Neil Young, the favorite of Washington States Mike Leach.)There were a contingent of hard rockers: Pitts Pat Narduzzi, San Diego States Rocky Long and Old Dominions Bobby Wilder picked AC/DC, and UCLAs Jim Mora, UTEPs Sean Kugler and Georgia State interim coach Tim Lappano chose Led Zeppelin. Some opted for easy-listening: Boston Colleges Steve Addazio, Akrons Terry Bowden and UL Monroes Matt Viator opted for James Taylor, and East Carolinas Scottie Montgomery prefers Sade.The Talking Heads (Wake Forests Dave Clawson) and Meat Loaf (Southern Miss Jay Hopson) made the list, but the top two selling musical artists of all time, the Beatles and Elvis, did not receive any votes.Back on Sept. 17, when Michigan State met Notre Dame, little did Mark Dantonio and Brian Kelly know they had something in common: Theyre both big fans of The Boss. After all, you know college coaches these days: Baby we were born to run ... the spread offense.Top vote-getters: Kenny Chesney, Eagles, George Strait (five votes); Garth Brooks?(four votes); AC/DC, Toby Keith, Dave Matthews Band, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, The Temptations, Led Zeppelin?(three votes).?By conference: Joe Flacco Womens Jersey . The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling "puts an end to my dreams of being a top player," the 27-year-old Troicki said in a statement.

As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. The Magic Millions might come too soon for impressive Moonee Valley winner Cao Cao with his trainer looking at the Group One Blue Diamond Stakes a few weeks later.Mick Price indicated after the colts strong win at Moonee Valley on Saturday he was likely to head to the sales-restricted $2 million Magic Millions at the Gold Coast on January 14.A day later, Price said after inspecting Cao Cao, he thought it might be the right time to give him a break and instead target the Blue Diamond Stakes in late February.He said he wold discuss the options with Cao Caos owners, Sun Bloodstock.Im not sure whether Ive got enough horse left to go to the Magic Millions or not, Price told RSN927.I had a brief chat to Sun Stud yesterday and they were sort of thinking, which way do you go? Do you go to the Magic Millioons or do you go to the Blue Diamond?Just timing wise I think it would be beneficial for that horse to have a little bit of a breather.ddddddddddddSo Ill probably have to sit down with them during the week and just give an opinion and see what they want to do.But I think, what I saw this morning with him, that he would be better off having a break and setting him for the Blue Diamond.Cao Cao picked up strongly in the straight on Saturday to win the 1000m race by 2-3/4 lengths at his second start.Earlier this month he finished second to Aspect in the Group Three Maribyrnong Plate at Flemington.Cao Cao was a $350,000 yearling at this years Gold Coast Magic Millions sale.
