I think you should know how to correctly spell the name of the school you are signing with before you are actually able to play football for them

12:32 p.m. -- Ambles' first lesson
Lane Kiffin's first assignment after he finishes signing this class is to teach receiver signee Markeith Ambles how to spell Trojans.

Tuesday, Ambles tweeted this: "@mARKEITHAMBLES: who will i be tomorrow a vol, trogan, or tar heel!!!!!!"

I chalked that one up to tiny mobile phone keys or touchscreen issues. After all, the G and the J are separated only by the H on a standard QWERTY keyboard. But when Ambles tweeted Wednesday about his decision, I began having doubts. At 12:13 p.m. Wednesday, he tweeted this: "@mARKEITHAMBLES: Go Trogans!!!!!!"

Wow, Kiffin works fast. At 12:24 p.m., Ambles tweeted this: @Markeithambles: "Trojans"

When Stephon Marbury when to Georgia Tech, he said that he was going to be coming to "The University of Georgia Tech," which drove fans nuts (especially after he bolted after one year). I think it's technical name is Georgia Institute of Technology.

Yeah, they'd for sure hate anything that even sounded close to "The University of Georgia".

This is about as funny as the kid from Germany that chose FSU because, "...of the proximity of Florida to Germany".
