Sh*tting my pants was 'the best thing that could have happened'

From the files of "You can't make that up": Florida running back Adam Lane was interviewed Wednesday and was asked about defecating in his football pants during last January's Birmingham Bowl against East Carolina. 

To many, this would be the most embarrassing moment in their lives, but Lane isn't thinking like that.

"It was the best thing that could have happened," said the freshman. "It got a lot of attention and just put me in a place where I was out there publicly and people knew who I was. I really didn't get a lot of grief from it. A lot of people were really more focused on how well I did in the game than anything. I feel like it was that way because I embraced it."

Lane finished the game with 16 carries for 109 yards and a touchdown. The Gators won 28-20 and Lane was named the game's MVP for his efforts. His football efforts, that is.
