Zach, Slater, Screech ... and Golic?

Where have you gone, Mr. Belding?

Just like Joe DiMaggio was only "Mr. Coffee" to a whole TV generation of Americans, Bob Golic suddenly can't shake his one season of acting on "Saved By The Bell: The College Years."

"Four years of major-college football here at Notre Dame, 14 years in the National Football League — one year in a kids' TV show, and that's all people talk about," Golic, now a radio host in Akron, Ohio, told the Fort Wayne (Ind.) News-Sentinel.

"The sad thing is, the cheerleaders [at Saturday's Notre Dame spring game] all ran out to me to get a picture, and just for the briefest of moments, I thought, 'I still got it.' "

Taking it to the house

The Pac-10 Conference says it will investigate a report by Yahoo.com alleging that the family of USC running back Reggie Bush lived for the past year in a San Diego-area home owned by a man with ties to a sports-marketing company.

Bush-backers, however, say it's nothing more than a hard-nosed running back trying to gain an extra yard.

Paging Lenny Dykstra

A 33-year-old Oregon man high on methamphetamine and complaining of headaches is lucky to be alive, doctors told the Journal of Neurosurgery, after they removed the 12 nails he put into his head with a nail gun.

Even more bizarre, the guy isn't even a Cubs fan.

Keys to victory

The Major Indoor Soccer League's newest franchise will be known as the Detroit Ignition, giving the sports world its first true starting lineup.

Dragnet serve

Hear the one about the Wimbledon fanatic who flunked a steroids test?

He tested positive for strawberries and the cream.

Cup runneth older

The NHL's Stanley Cup (or a real spiffy replica) was back in London for the first time since it was made there 114 years ago, Toronto's Globe & Mail reported, prompting this exchange between two older Brits who saw it on display during a touring exhibition:

Husband: "What in heavens is going on?"

Wife: "It's 'Antiques Roadshow.' They do this sort of thing all the time."

Talking the talk

• Ian Hamilton of the Regina Leader-Post, after Jeff Chown of the Davie-Brown Talent marketing agency told the Chicago Sun-Times that there isn't a brand name Giants slugger Barry Bonds could successfully endorse: "[He] obviously forgot BALCO."

• The Rams' Torry Holt, to the AP, on adjusting to new coach Scott Linehan: "I think we are at a point right now where it's like you are in preschool again where you get up to go to the bathroom, you raise your hands."

• Tennis legend Tracy Austin, as quoted in the Los Angeles Times, recalling a fourth-grade paper on Billie Jean King: "I got an A-minus because I didn't have paragraph indentions."

Diving for show

Tiger Woods and caddie Steve Williams took an 8 ½-second, 440-foot bungee jump in New Zealand on Sunday, the Otago Daily Times reported.

Golf sticklers still don't know whether to score it as an up-and-down or the mother of all free drops.
