THE PACIFIC STARTS THIS SUNDAY
If you don't have HBO I would suggest you call your cable company and sign up for the next 10 weeks. "The Pacific", a 10 part miniseries about the Marines fighting in the Pacific during WWII starts this sunday at 8:00 pm. It's done by the same people who did "Band of Brothers" which is probably the best series/movie, whatever you want to call it, I have ever seen. Here is the trailer.

GETTING THERE
Bought a lower parts kit and a butt stock for my rifle this weekend. Got a tan pistol grip coming in the mail to match the butt stock. Only a few more parts to go and she'll be done.

JACK YOUR WAY TO A STRONG UPPER BODY
The first time I saw this commercial I couldn't help but think that this looked like a chick giving an HJ. Look ladies, there is no need to pay for overpriced workout equipment when you can get the same workout by asking any guy in the world to help you out. Well, apparently I'm not the only one who thinks this as there is a parody of the commercial on youtube. In case you haven't seen the original I'll post that video too.

I'll be darn...
After taking care of business Thursday against the Tigers of LSU, the Rebs have put themselves in a position to win/tie for the SEC Western division and secure a first round bye in the upcoming SEC tournament. However, a whole lot has to take place for that to happen. First off, the Rebs gotta beat Arkansas. Secondly, Miss State has to lose to Tennessee. This would create a tie and put the Rebs as a #2 seed in the before mentioned SEC tournament. Not bad for a team, at times looked great and at others looked like they didn't know what was going on and that you could actually get points from inside the 3-point line. Yeah, the Rebs like to shoot the long ball. They have chunked up 652 attempts from downtown while making a respectable 36%. Sorta a must win on the road in Fayetteville, so here is to hoping for a Reb win, a State loss and a strong showing in the SEC tournament. The Rebs really don't have a shot at the "Big Dance" without it and it would be nice to get into the tournament that really matters. On that, here are a few notes about the upcoming matchup which will solidify my points and give you something to think about.....
QUICK NOTES
- The winner of today's matchup will be the Western Division No. 2 seed in next week's SEC Tournament.
- If Ole Miss beats Arkansas and Mississippi State loses to Tennessee, the Rebels and Bulldogs would share the SEC Western Division title.
- Andy Kennedy has led Ole Miss to 20 wins for the third time in his first four seasons. He is the second Rebel coach ever to reach the 20-win mark three times.
- Saturday's game will be the 66th meeting between the two schools, with the Razorbacks holding an all-time series lead of 41-24.
- Ole Miss is 5-4 this season in true road games (4-3 in SEC road games).
- The Rebels went 1-3 with freshman Reginald Buckner out with an ankle injury, but are 19-6 when he plays.
- At 78.7 ppg, Ole Miss ranks second in the SEC and 25th in the nation in scoring offense.
- The Rebels have out-rebounded their opponent in nine of the last 12 games.
- Junior guard Chris Warren has hit a 3-pointer in 39 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in school history and seventh-longest in SEC history.

REBS COMPETE FOR A RETURN TO THE BIG DANCE
Ole Miss is looking to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002, and it has built a strong case starting with some big non-conference results. The Rebels have neutral-site wins over the hot Kansas State Wildcats (RPI No. 5) and C-USA Champion UTEP (No. 44). The win over KSU is the best non-league victory by an SEC team away from its home court this season.
Overall, Ole Miss is 2-5 against top-50 RPI teams and 7-8 against teams in the current RPI top 120. Among the Rebels' losses are five of the RPI's top 16 squads - No. 4 Kentucky, No. 6 West Virginia, No. 7 Villanova, No. 12 Vanderbilt and No. 16 Tennessee - and no loss by more than 12 points. The squad's only loss to a team currently below 100th is to Arkansas (No. 136). The Rebels are 12-4 at home and 8-5 away from home (5-4 road, 3-1 neutral).
The presence of 6-foot-8 freshman Reginald Buckner, the team's best post defender, has been a big key to the Rebels' success. The team is 19-6 when he dresses out but went just 1-3 in the four SEC games he missed with a severe ankle sprain.

OLE MISS-ARKANSAS SERIES
Saturday's game will be the 66th meeting between the two schools, with the Razorbacks holding an all-time series lead of 41-24. The series began in 1937. Since Arkansas joined the Southeastern Conference in the 1991-92 season, Ole Miss leads the series 19-18 and has won 16 of the last 24 meetings and five of the last eight. Arkansas snapped the Rebels' three-game winning streak in the series with an 80-73 win on Jan. 31 in Oxford, a game that was postponed from Saturday to Sunday due to severe winter weather travel issues. Arkansas owns a 14-7 advantage in games played in Fayetteville, but the Rebels won 98-91 (OT) there last year.

SEC TOURNAMENT SCENARIOS
Ole Miss enters today's contest one game ahead of Arkansas for second place in the SEC West standings at 8-7 behind division leader Mississippi State at 9-6. The winner of the Ole Miss-Arkansas contest will be the West's No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament and receive a first-round bye. An Ole Miss win and Mississippi State loss to Tennessee would result in a Co-Western Division title for those two squads. MSU owns the head-to-head tie-breaker with UM and has clinched the West's No. 1 seed.

Just a Reminder...
Only 99 days till the greatest Soccer(Futbol) Tournament... If you are interested in getting any details here is a link..... Here is to hoping for a strong showing by the U.S.A.
What'd we miss?!?
Whew! Good to be home. I mean the Bahamas was nice but staying there for 3 weeks is really overrated. Trust me. Anyway, what all did we miss. America kicked a little ass in the Olympics. I never really saw any of the action. I was too busy staring into crystal blue waters and rum drinks. But I think we expected to have a strong showing in the games. Between Vonn, miller ,and the flying tomato you just knew somebody was bringing home the gold..... Moving right along, MLB Spring training has started and that is fantastic news here at the corner. It just means the regular season is really close to starting. We like baseball here. We don't really cover it all that much because of the fact that there are a whole bunch of teams and we aren't MLB network or ESPN. It is too much to deal with along with our thirst for all things college sports related; And I would guess we will start dealing out the goods in SEC baseball once the conference play gets under way..... In addition to all this hoopla surrounding the sporting world with the Olympics and baseball; golf's resident HORNDOG came out of hiding(and sex camp) to make an apology to the general public, friends, family and fellow stick swingers about his infidelity,his daily requirements for sexcapades and his apparent extreme level of kinkiness. So, I am guessing Tiger isn't a role model anymore? Well that really can take the jam out of a young mans donut. I bet he will be a little more careful next time...... Shifting gears a little, I have been meaning to share this for some time now, so why not now. Some may refer to this as cholesterol. Or heart attack...on deck. I like to call it, "A little slice of heaven". A sausage stuffed pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon. Its okay to cry, because the damn thing really is a thing of beauty. God bless the pig. It was delicious. So, it is good to be back. Peace
