Three Saturday successes....

A Purdue football success topped the day's activity, as QB Curtis Painter, WR Dorien Bryant, RB Kory Sheets, and TE Dustin Keller signed an 8x10 sent to them care of the Purdue athletic department. That request took just 11 days. Painter has thrown for nearly 2700 yards and 24 touchdowns this fall, and his favorite target has been Bryant, who has accumulated nearly 800 yards and 8 scores himself. Sheets is the Boilers' leading rusher with over 700 yards and 6 TDs on the campaign, while Keller has been dangerous himself, hauling in a half-dozen scores and 600 yards worth of passes from Painter.

Also signing was Washington head football coach Tyrone Willingham. That request was sent via email and took just 8 days. Willingham, who personalized the photo that UW provided, is one of the college game's most respected coaches and appears to have the Huskies on the up-swing in his third year on campus after a brief tour of duty at Notre Dame. This is Willingham's second stint in the PAC-10 after previously leading the Stanford Cardinal.

Rounding out the day was Utah State hoops star Jaycee Carroll. The Aggies' senior guard signed a pair of index cards care of the USU athletic department in 56 days. Carroll was a First Team All-WAC selection last season and has been named the Preseason Player of the Year heading into this season.
