"It's always been fun," Smith said. "The anticipation, you just never know."
After coming off a national championship year, four Auburn football players find themselves in trouble with the law. Mike McNeil, Shaun Kitchens, Antonio Goodwin and Dakota Mosley were all arrested Friday morning in Auburn, Ala.; police say the men entered a house and stole property.
The football players were charged with robbery, burglary and theft and were released on bond earlier this afternoon. It didn’t take long after the arrests for Auburn head coach Gene Chizik to issue a statement dismissing them from the team permanently.
Auburn coach Gene Chizik issued a statement saying all four players were thrown off the team.
"The players arrested in connection with this deeply troubling incident have been permanently dismissed from our football team," Chizik said in a statement. "While we realize the legal process will run its course and these young men have a right for their case to be heard, playing for Auburn University is an honor and a privilege. It is not a right."
Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs said in a statement: "This type of behavior will not be tolerated at Auburn. I fully support Coach Chizik's swift and decisive action to dismiss these four student-athletes from our football team effective immediately."
Goodwin, Kitchens and Mosley all were part of the 2010 signing class ranked No. 4 in the nation by ESPNU Recruiting. Mosley redshirted last season. Goodwin and Kitchens played primarily on special teams.
It'll have to find another night – and another opponent – chance to prove it.
A second-half offensive explosion by Rocky Ford, including at 11-2 fourth-quarter run, left the Spartans on the short end in a 48-41 loss to the Meloneers Tuesday night at SCA Gym.
Rocky Ford improves to 11-6 and 8-3 in league play, solidifying it position as third place in the Santa Fe league standings while Swallows falls to 9-7 and 5-5 in league play, languishing in sixth place losing an opportunity to improve its seeding for the district playoffs in two weeks.
Nobody was getting buckets down low in the first quarter, Swallows relying on the long-ball to build a 10-3 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Rocky Ford, though, played its way back into it, utilizing tenacious defense from its guards to give the Spartans fits on the transition.
Meloneer guards anticipated Swallows passes left and right, intercepting it to score quick points. Other times, it blocked the Spartans' sightlines and forced bad passes along the baseline.
The Spartans' two leading scorers, Jared Garrett and Devon Jones, were largely shut down in the second half, Rocky Ford defenders seizing on the Swallows guards. Garrett was held to just three points in the second half, and with the tight coverage, open men were hard to come by.
"We had some really good looks," Gallery said, "but several times, we just shot airballs. I can't explain that. We were obviously mentally ready to play, but we took too many bad shots in the second half."
In its three remaining regular season games, things don't get any easier for Swallows. After drawing last-place Las Animas Thursday, the Spartans will face second-place Fowler, the fourth-ranked team in the state, and fourth-place John Mall next week.
"We're going to practice hard tomorrow, and we'll be ready to play," Gallery said. "I guarantee it."
NEWPORT County AFC manager Michael Flynn is set for a busy week in the transfer market before Sunday’s FA Cup third round clash with Leeds United.
County are expected to announce up to three new signings before the match and there will also be players heading out of the door at Rodney Parade.
Midfielder Josh Sheehan is set to return from Swansea City following his successful loan spell last season and two other former Swans players are training with County this week.
Striker Paul Hayes, who joined in October, is now finally eligible to make his debut and fellow front man Aaron Williams (below) has returned following the end of his loan spell at Brackley Town.
But Williams, who scored his 23rd goal for the National League North side on New Year’s Day, is cup-tied this weekend and does not appear to have a future with the Exiles.
Jazzi Barnum-Bobb is also likely to be on the move again after his loan deal at Torquay United ends this coming weekend.
Striker Joe Quigley has returned to his parent club AFC Bournemouth but County have now officially confirmed that top scorer Shawn McCoulsky will remain until the end of the season.
Academy prospects Evan Press and Tom Savigar are set to join Welsh League side Undy Athletic on a 'work experience' loan deal this week.
Asked about new signings after Monday’s win over Exeter City, Flynn said: “We’re almost there with a few and I’m sure there will be announcements over the next few days.
“We’ve got some coming in but it is what it is – I’ll have to wheel and deal and there will be players going out this week too.
Victory over the Grecians kept Flynn’s men within touching distance of the League Two play-off places and he believes promotion is possible if he gets the right players in this month.
“I’ll not get carried away but it’s a positive start,” he told BBC Radio Wales.
“We need to hang in there, hopefully strengthen now, and you never know.
“There’s been a big improvement over the last year but I want to improve even more.
“I’ve told the players and challenged the players and I’ve said the same to the staff.
“We’re not going to just rest on our laurels, I want to improve.
“I don’t like League Two, if I’m honest, and I want to get us out of it.
“Anything’s possible, as we saw last year. Anything can happen.
Meanwhile, County have confirmed the results of the Trust board elections.
There were six candidates standing for five places on the Trust board.

A 58-year-old Novato man was arrested early Sunday at a Petaluma gas station on suspicion of DUI, police said.
A caller reported a man with a bloody face who smelled of alcohol standing next to his car at 2:45 a.m. at the gas station in the 5100 block of Old Redwood Highway, Petaluma Police Sgt. Lance Novello said in a news release.
Officers found Phuoc Dang, who admitted to drinking, looking at the shredded front tire of his car, Novello said.
A preliminary breath test indicated he had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood, police said. But Dang refused to submit to a chemical test, prompting officers to obtain a warrant to take a blood sample.
Police said he was previously arrested three times on suspicion of DUI.
He was arrested and booked into Sonoma County Jail.
Paul Arber, 38, was in the North Island coaching eight young tennis players who competed in the Waikato Christmas Junior Tournament.
A former Jewish tennis champion from Melbourne who went missing in New Zealand last week was confirmed dead.
Arber, the 2012 Victorian Jewish Tennis Champion, was last seen early Dec. 8 about 120 kilometers south of Auckland.
On Friday local police confirmed that a body found Thursday by a rowing crew from a local school was Arber.
A blessing native to Maori culture was conducted near the site where Arber’s body was recovered in keeping with local custom, Thornton said. Arber’s family, team mates and police staff attended.
His mother Richelle described him as a humanitarian and a great athlete and coach.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi‘s little meatballs are the spitting image of their parents!
The pregnant Jersey Shore star shared an adorable set of photos to Instagram over the weekend that highlighted just how similar her two children are to Polizzi and husband Jionni LaValle.
The four photos show daughter Giovanna Marie, 4½, and son Lorenzo Dominic, 6½, smiling for the camera while sharing a sweet sibling hug.
The last photo, which Polizzi called out at the end of her caption, shows Giovanna cuddling up to her brother and trying to plant a kiss on his cheek as he pulls away.
In the sweet snaps, Lorenzo wears gray shorts and a striped, dark-blue polo shirt while Giovanna sports a high ponytail and black checkered dress with a daisy print.
The reality star, 31, is expecting her third child in the coming weeks: a son, to be named Angelo.
Polizzi revealed her baby-to-be’s name on Instagram Thursday while showing off personalized gifts from Jersey Shore costar and close friend Deena Cortese.
“Look what Deena got me! So you guys know the name, it’s gonna be Angelo,” she said, showing off a teddy bear security blanket, a piggy bank and a fleece throw blanket, all with her baby boy‘s name printed on them.
Polizzi announced her pregnancy in November, and has since documented her journey toward becoming a third-time mama every step of the way on social media.

Henry Lewenza, 41, of Windsor, faces charges in relation to property stolen from the Windsor Islamic Association, and another recent break-and-enter case.
Police have arrested and charged a suspect in the theft of property from the Windsor Islamic Association, as well as another recent break-in case.
A man — who is known to police — was a passenger in a vehicle that officers stopped on Thursday at the intersection of Erie Street West and Victoria Avenue.
He was arrested without trouble and a search uncovered items that had been stolen from the mosque at 1320 Northwood St. on Monday morning.
Officers recognized the suspect because of an incident on Jan. 30 when a stolen bank card was used at a jewelry store.
Windsor police reviewed surveillance video recordings from the jewelry store and confirmed the identity of the person who used the bank card.
The bank card was from a wallet that had been taken from a produce store in the 900 block of E.C. Row Avenue East.
Henry Lewenza, 41, of Windsor, faces multiple charges including breaking and entering, two counts of possession of stolen property (value under $5,000), fraud (value under $5,000), use of a stolen credit card, and credit card fraud.
Anyone with information about property theft incidents is encouraged to call investigators at 519-255-6700 ext. 4350.
Welfare officers at universities and colleges around the country are calling for a “long-term solution” to the lack of student housing options and rapidly rising rents ahead of the release of Central Applications Office (CAO) offers next Monday.
A student property management agency also warned of the student rental crisis turning into a “perfect storm”, saying the increase in student numbers would lead to real “capacity challenges” in Irish cities.
A lack of housing options and rent increases could lead to an increase in student drop-out rates, according to Jimmy McGovern, vice-president and welfare officer for NUI Galway (NUIG) student union.
He advised parents and incoming students not to panic and to assess all available options.
Mr McGovern advises that students view potential rooms with a family member or friend for a second opinion, and warns never to hand over a deposit without a receipt.
Mr McGovern says the only long-term solution to the student housing crisis is for the Government to build more accommodation specifically targeted towards students.
Meanwhile, he’s urging homeowners to register with student union offices if they have a spare room available for rent.
Enda McGuane of Winters Property Management said on Thursday that many properties in Irish cities had already been “snapped up by returning second and third year students”, creating a problem for incoming Leaving Cert graduates.
Mr McGuane warned that the increase in student numbers, coupled with population growth in Irish cities, “all combine to create a student rental crisis point, a perfect storm”.
Katie Quinlan, welfare officer at University College Cork, says landlords are more interested in renting to the rising numbers of young professionals in cities like Cork and Dublin.
She’s encouraging students to consider the “digs” option where they stay with families and often receive meals.
For those moving to the capital for third level education, USI president Kevin Donoghue has advised students and parents to set out a clear plan before beginning the search.
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) identified a “significant shortage” of on-campus accommodation for students and has estimated a shortfall of 25,000 beds a year for the next decade in an unpublished report, the details of which were disclosed by The Irish Times last month.
Meanwhile, the latest figures on the Irish rental market from Daft.ie, released in May of this year, show overall rents rose by 8.2 per cent in the first quarter of 2015.
According to the property website, students looking for accommodation off-campus in Dublin can expect to pay €524 per month in the city centre, €428 in the north of the capital and €453 in the south of the city for a single bedroom in a house or apartment.
In Cork, a single room will cost €320 in the city centre, while a single in Galway is expected to cost €309.

The Supreme Court said Nasheed was wrongfully charged and should not have been convicted in the 2015 trial described by the United Nations as politically motivated.
The Maldives top court overturned a terrorism conviction on Monday against the country’s first democratically elected leader Mohamed Nasheed, who fled into exile after being sentenced to 13 years behind bars.
Nasheed went into exile a year later while abroad seeking medical treatment, and was branded a fugitive from justice.
“President Nasheed’s entire trial was a politically-motivated sham,” his lawyer, Hisaan Hussein, said after his conviction was quashed.
“It is appalling that an innocent man was unjustly forced to spend a year in jail, 35 months in exile, and was prevented from standing for political office.” The opposition icon only returned to the Maldives this month after his political rival Abdulla Yameen, who ruled the Maldives with an iron fist for five years, was beaten in a presidential election.
The strongman president jailed or exiled most of his opponents but since he departed office political prisoners have been freed and opponents abroad have returned.
Nasheed, the leader of the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party, was expected to contest the September poll but was barred on account of his terrorism conviction.
His party’s nominee, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, ran and unexpectedly defeated Yameen despite curbs on opposition campaigning.
Nasheed risked arrest if he ever returned to the Maldives while Yameen remained in power.
Nasheed was elected president in the Maldives first-ever democratic poll in 2008, ousting an authoritarian president who had ruled the honeymoon islands for 30 years.
