I stood in line and ate my Twinkies
* Jean-Jacques Burnel of The Stranglers lists the 10 best 1970s songs.

an excerpt:
...But nothing impressed Williams more than when he sat down for dinner with nearly a dozen other recruits -- including Northwestern [Florida high school] cornerback Trevor Ford and Killian [Florida high school] cornerback J.R. Bryant.
''Dinner was tight,'' Williams said. `We had our own section in the restaurant, but the only thing that bugged me was that I sat all the way in the back -- so I was the last one to get my food.
`Coach Haggins told us to order as much as we wanted. I ordered a steak and a lobster tail. The lobster tail was like $49.99. I couldn't believe something so little could cost so much. The steak didn't even have a price. The menu said something about market value. I was kind of embarrassed so I didn't order a lot.
'But then I saw what the other guys were ordering, I was like, `Forget this.' I called the waiter back and told him to bring me four lobster tails, two steaks and a Shrimp Scampi. It was good. I took two boxes back with me to the hotel.''
After dinner, Williams met his tour guide -- defensive back Antonio Cromartie. But he quickly urged the coaches to find him a new one.
''That boy was on crutches,'' Williams said. `I would have had to hop around campus everywhere. Besides, I wanted somebody who played my position to take me around.''
Cromartie was immediately replaced by linebackers Ernie Sims, Willie Jones of Carol City [Florida high school] and A.J. Nicholson as well as defensive lineman Clifton Dickson of Northwestern [Florida high school].
''After dinner, we hit the clubs,'' Williams said. ``I had a great time with [fellow recruits] Xavier Carter, Xavier Lee, Aaron Jones and Kenny Ingram. All of us really bonded and had a great time. We got back late -- and we paid for it the next day.''
