The Adventures of Magnum P.I.G
Well looks like we have a new guest spot on the blog. I will be telling tales and spinning yarns about the upcoming competition BBQ cooking season as seen through the eyes of a local team, the before mentioned, Magnum P.I.G. That's right, all the fat. Maybe not all, but we will keep up to date with them and how they fair in various events. Now in case you are wondering what my relationship is to these fellows, well first off they are friends. Secondly, I am there liaison to the public eye other than the local paper. You may have seen them recently in the Commonwealth were they garnered a whole quarter of a page. And third, I had a small part in the name and I am available to them if they need a special order through my various purveyors that I deal with in my line of work. I guess you could say I am honorary member.
Anyway, the boys struck out this past weekend and competed in "The Great Ruleville Roast" and came away with 1st place in the Rib category. They entered other categories, like chicken and beans, but were in the middle of the pack in those categories. As a team overall they were in the middle of the pack as well. There were 18 total teams in the event, so for a first time out as unit, I would say nabbing a 1st in Ribs and finishing in the middle overall was a pretty good outing. Team members for the P.I.G are Otis, Cooter, Sweetpea, and Smiley. I went with the nicknames to allow for some level of privacy on there part. Lord knows they don't need stalkers.
Up next for the boys is the Pig Pickin over in Cleveland. This is a 'Memphis in May' sanctioned event so the competition will be greater as will be the stakes.
I am sure some of you are wondering what that bus is in the background. Well, that is the cooking rig and we will have pictures up for your viewing pleasure as soon as we get them.

HIDE THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN
SAW THIS ON SOMEONES FACEBOOK PAGE TODAY
David Grubb or Grubbs was released from Parchman Prison after an 18
year sentence for sexual battery . He is
now living in the Clarksdale Area and has been seen around the Ellis
Arms apartment/Bill Walters office area and around Court Street. He is
a normal, nice looking white male approximately 50 years old driving a
navy blue ford. You can look him up on the Mississippi sex
offenders list under Quitman County . He claims to be living in
Lambert but has been seen lots of times recently around Clarksdale and
was even spotted working at the St. Elizabeth's Fair. Obviously
whoever let him work didn't know of his past. He preys on young girls
middle school through college age so please, please pay special
attention wherever you go...

IF LAST NIGHT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, HERE'S AN EXTRA KICK IN THE CROTCH
CBS really dogging the Rebs after the game last night. Here's a snippet from the article. Click the link to read the whole thing.
"One of those lessons is this: Never, ever take the Ole Miss football program seriously. Not this seriously, anyway. No. 4? Ole Miss? Look -- in a pretty good year, Ole Miss will be the No. 4 team in the SEC West. In a very good year, Ole Miss will be the No. 4 team in the entire conference. But No. 4 in the country? Ole Miss? Come on. Archie Manning isn't walking through that door again. John Fourcade, maybe. But not Archie."

Questions? Answered!!
Well I have been saying it the over our past two games, I wasn't sure how good we were and I think we all saw that answer tonight. We got beat up pretty bad by the Cocks and Snead had what I hope is the last of his most awful days as a Rebel. However, if the train doesn't get back on the track soon and I mean real soon, we are in for a long haul. Naturally, I didn't get to see every single play but I saw enough to form an opinion and that opinion is that we really didn't deserve that high of a preseason ranking. I am sure some of the Rebel faithful will ask for my head for saying that but hey, I am just calling it like I see it. The good news is now we can move forward and just play football. I am sure the team felt allot of pressure being ranked so high. I felt the pressure and I don't even play for the Rebs. I am not trying to make some self-imposed "Tebow" type of speech here, but I really think if the team gets better than some good will come from this loss. We may even slip up and beat somebody we aren't supposed to beat, but of course that remains to be seen and the Rebels have a great deal of work to do in order for that too happen.
With that being said, I really thought we were going to rally that one out there at the end. I remember about the time we got the ball, down by six, someone saying, "Its time to shit or get off the pot". Unfortunately, we got off the pot. And you could make a case for a few blown calls that would have gone in our favor, but that is just shoulda, woulda, coulda and making excuses. South Carolina beat us up pretty bad. There defense played pretty great all night and there offense did what was needed to win, they got points most of the time they had the opportunity. It might have been field goals but they count too last time I checked. I thought our defense played pretty solid considering that they were put into a lot of difficult situations. As the game was progressing I was pretty pleased that we were able to hold them to 3 instead of a TD when they got into scoring position. Our offense was the downfall and that can be directly attributed to how well South Carolina played on D and some sloppiness on our part.
Anyway, there is still allot of football left to be played, so this is not the end of the world even though it sucks a big one. I look forward to see how the Rebels respond next week and then we will worry about whether we have a sno-balls chance in hell against Bama. Till then, peace.

1st Test?!?
Well I guess the whole country gets to find out if we are worthy of our #4 ranking. Going to be a tough one and I am sure the Ole ball coach has got some tricks up his sleeve, he usually does. Anywho, I am pretty excited about it and just hope that we can put it all together for a victory. Naturally, I will put up some thoughts about the game whether we win or lose, but lets hope it is a win. Here is just a sample of info you can attain from the Ole Miss website. I just wanted to wet your beak a little...
SERIES INFO: This game will be the 15th meeting between Ole Miss and South Carolina dating back to 1947, and the sixth since the Gamecocks joined the SEC in 1992. The Rebels lead the series 8-6 and had won five straight meetings until South Carolina defeated the Rebels 31-24 last season in Oxford. Ole Miss has won four of the five SEC meetings: 30-28 at Oxford in 1998, 36-10 in 1999 at Columbia, 43-40 in Oxford in 2003 and 31-28 in Columbia in 2004, which was the last encounter at Carolina. The Rebels have won four straight in Williams-Brice Stadium and boast a 4-3 all-time mark in Columbia.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: With eight straight wins, Ole Miss is riding its longest win streak in nearly 37 years and boasts the second-longest current streak in the nation ... The Rebels are shooting for a 3-0 start for the first time since 1989 ... The Rebels are seeking to snap a five-game skid in SEC openers ... Ole Miss is averaging 46.5 points over its last six games ... Jevan Snead is riding a school-record streak of eight straight games with multiple TD passes.
SOUTH CAROLINA SCOUTING REPORT: The Gamecocks rebounded from a 41-37 SEC-opening setback at Georgia to dismantle Florida Atlantic 38-16 Saturday in their home opener. After a slow offensive start to the season, Carolina has averaged 39.5 points in its last two games. Sophomore QB Stephen Garcia ranks second in the SEC in total offense at 253.0 yards per game. The USC defense ranks fourth in the SEC in total defense (249.3 ypg) and second in rush defense (87.3 ypg). The unit is also tied for the league lead in sacks with 10, led by senior All-SEC LB Eric Norwood with four.
CAROLINA COACHING TIES: Before joining the Rebels, defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Tyrone Nix spent three seasons at South Carolina 2005-07. In 2007, he coached inside linebackers in addition to coordinating a Gamecock defense that topped the SEC and ranked fifth nationally in pass defense, allowing just 168.8 yards through the air. Under Nix’s watch, the USC defense in 2006 was sixth in the SEC and 29th in the country in scoring defense, surrendering 18.7 points per game, 4.5 fewer than in 2005 despite returning just one starter. In his first year in Columbia, Nix served as co-defensive coordinator and tutored the defensive line.
SEC OPENERS• Ole Miss is 30-42-3 in SEC openers ... The last league-opening win came in 2003 in Nashville, 24-21 over the Commodores ... The Rebels are just 2-14 in their last 16 conference openers.• The Rebels are 14-25-3 in SEC openers on the road ... The last league-opening road win came in 2003 in Nashville, 24-21 over the Commodores. • Ole Miss is beginning its SEC schedule with South Carolina for the first time.

Top Ten Movies About Football - Quarterback Edition
Honorable Mention Category:
These are the guys that almost made the cut. Some of them just didn't have the resume to be on the list but we will celebrate them anyway.
Randall 'Pink' Floyd - "Dazed and Confused" - I guess I can understand him not wanting to play by the rules. It was 1976, but he owed it too his team to fall in line with the coaches request of getting the petition signed and not engage in any alcohol or drug related activity that would somehow jeopardize those dreams of a championship season in '77. It all had to do with that other crowd he was running around with and his main concern that summer was getting Aerosmith tickets. Can you blame the guy? Still the old-timers at the little league game felt he had the talent, he just has a 5 cent head on top of his shoulders.
Rifleman - "All the Right Moves" - Rifleman was talented enough to lead the team, he just had some knuckleheads on the other side of the ball and got put in some bad situations. Still, a quality QB would have made something out of nothing.
Johnny Utah - "Point Break" - Never saw him play a snap but he did perform well on the Beach, with the board and the ball. I guess he felt the FBI was the highest level he could achieve.
Paul Crewe - "The Longest Yard" (2005) - Interesting remake of a classic and it certainly had its highlights. I mean can you argue with a guy named Cheeseburger Eddie. Still doesn't hold a candle to 1974 film.
Lance Harbor- "Varsity Blues" -This guy had it all, the talent, the team, the coach, and the girl. Unfortunately his knee injury cost him what might have been with football and this top ten. I am sure he will make a fine coach for West Canaan though.

If you haven't figured this one out, shame on you. Everybody in the world knows that if you have to line up for one game, this is the guy you want. Sure he has a past and he made some bad decisions, but the guilt alone of living with those decisions is with out a doubt, punishment enough.
#1 - Paul Crewe - "The Longest Yard" (1974)
After a spin around town in the Maserati, beer in hand mind you, Paul gets tracked down by the law and is sent to Pookie. All he wants to do is serve his time, pay his debt to society and move on. Well not in Warden Hazens prison. You see the Warden has a hard-on for his beloved guard staffed football team and he has an even bigger hard-on for Paul Crewe. He basically strong-arms Paul into forming a team of inmates to play against the before mentioned 'Guards' team in what will all likely be a complete beatdown. Well, Paul has had enough of lying down. He has already played the doormat with his point-shaving scheme that got him the boot from pro ball altogether. In what was a highly competitive first half of football, the Warden instructs him that he will be in Prison for a long time if he doesn't lay down. Well the Warden give him his word that the 'Mean Machine' will not be abused after the 'Guards' get up by a few scores. Of course the Warden renigs on his promise and is intent upon destroying the team physically and mentally. After soaking up the pine with a faux knee injury, Paul decides he has had enough of being the coward and taking it lying down. He rallies the team, but first he has to get there trust back. When he does, the 'Mean Machine' starts rolling and pull of the upset of the 'Guards'
Paul is the complete player. He is the exact opposite of Tim Tebow ethically and morally, but he more than rivals him physically and mentally. A great arm, great decision maker, amazing speed and probably the best improvisational QB to ever lace em' up. In addition, he is a great organizer and a scary judge of talent. He took an entire roster of prison inmates who had barely ever had a snap at any level of football and got them to buy into the team and believe in each other and eventually believe in him again.
Paul Crewe: Hey Pop, the time you hit Hazen in the mouth, was it worth 30 years?
Pop: For me it was.
Paul Crewe: Then give me my damn shoe!
Paul Crewe: Nate, if you're thinkin' about winning this game, you're as crazy as he is!
Nate Scarboro: Well maybe so, but you spend fourteen years in this tank, and you begin to understand that you've only got two things left they can't sweat out of you or beat out of you - your balls - and you better hang onto them because they're about the only thing you're gonna have when you get out of here.
Paul Crewe: You know what my problem has been all my life? I've always had my shit together. Always. My problem's been I couldn't lift it.

#2 - Paul Blake - "Necessary Roughness"
Age is nothing but a number!! That is all you need to know about Paul Blake. After probation cuts scholarships, bowl games and pretty much everything else from the once gloried Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos program Coach Ed Gennero has to start from scratch. One obstacle is not having a QB. Well leave it up to the always crafty defensive mind to cure that ailment. Defensive Coordinator, Coach Wally Rig goes out and finds him one in the likes of a Ranch owner named Paul Blake. Paul was a High School star who never got a shot at the Collegiate level because he had to take over the family ranch. Herding up cattle, mending fences and just basic agriculture was the way of life for Paul and he was somewhat content in keeping up the family business. However, he always dreamed of playing ball again. That was obvious because to the scarecrow receiver wearing '88' out in the pasture. Lord knows how many times scarecrow man took one of those rifles in the chest at the hand of Paul. He had a big league arm, a great decision maker, and was a spirited leader. I dare you to find a man this age with that much talent. Paul is one of those guys that you build a program around despite the fact that he is scaring the hell out of 40.

Now it is time to get serious. The 7 previous guys before these last 3 were all good in there respective roles, but these last 3 can really play ball. These are the type of guys that you don't have ask if they want the ball with the game on the line. That question has already been answered. These are the type of players that you build a program or a franchise around. Yeah, they are that good. Amazing talent!
#3 - Willie Beamen - "Any Given Sunday"
#3 - Willie Beamen - "Any Given Sunday"
What do you say about a guy with this much talent? Rocket for an arm and the type of wheels reminiscent of the days before Micheal Vick was a dog fighter. Initially, Willie is like a wild card. All that talent, but he lacks the experience at this level to play the QB position. Well that is the beauty of football when good coaching and amazing talent combine, you get Willie Beamen. It takes some time, but Tony D'Amato puts the leash on Willie and get him to start believing in himself, the team and Willie takes the team to the playoff. Really couldn't have come a moment too soon, aging QB Jack 'Cap' Rooney has taken his share of hits over the years and just can't get it done anymore regardless of what his wife says. It becomes Willie's team and boy does he arrive. I mean you know you have arrived when you have a rap video, don't you?

#4 - Levander 'Bird' Williams - "Wildcats"
What can you say about a guy who goes from trafficking stolen goods to leading a team? Exactly the same thing, a natural born leader. Bird didn't need to stay in school and get educated. The only education he needed was in fencing TVs and like most all great athletes, they are not on the field. Enter Coach Molly McGrath. The women, with football in her blood, who is responsible for the successful recruiting and acquisition on Bird's talents. Everybody knew deep down inside that Bird wanted to play, he went to practice everyday with his ladies. I guess criminals do need time to relax and watching practice was the way Bird went about doing that. Anyway, Bird works out a deal with coach that does more than get him on the field, it also helps him avoid 5-10 in County. Bird was a natural QB, good arm, fairly accurate with his throws and solid speed. Exactly the dual threat the Wildcats needed to get on track and make that playoff run. A real game-changer in my book.
Marvel: Fuck you!
Molly McGrath: Fuck you what?
Marvel: Fuck you... Coach McGrath.

#5 - Shane Falco - "The Replacements"
After developing a reputation for being a softy and pretty much living in shame with the stigma, 'Footsteps' Falco being labeled to his name after the Sugar Bowl debacle, Shane gets another shot. A strike-shortened season leads the league to bring in replacement players or scrubs to finish out the year. These guys are horrible until Falco steps up and becomes a leader and starts wanting the ball with the game on the line. He rallies the team and his life and takes the team to the playoffs. Shane becomes a winner and he gets his teammates to buy into the philosophy. Guys like Clifford Franklin, who has worst hands than me start to develop into the real deal.
Clifford Franklin: The football's like a one-man cold to Clifford Franklin. Clifford Franklin's the only man catchin' it, Clifford Franklin's the only man comin' down wid it.

#6 - Jonathon "Mox" Moxon - "Varsity Blues"
The kid really didn't have any desire to be the starting QB for the West Canaan Coyotes. That was Lance Harbor's job. Lance was the star. Mox was just content riding the pine, putting philosophy books over his playbook and trying to get into Brown University and getting out of West Canaan, Texas. Well Billy Bob missed a block because his 'Cat' was messed up and down goes Lance. Enter Mox, a kid with his own set of ideals and a scattered view of the town he has grown up in. I think that is what I like about Mox. He didn't really care what everybody thought of him, not even Hall of Fame Coach Bud Kilmer. Mox had a good arm, he broke his daddy's nose in an impromptu game of "William Tell" and he had Balls. He stood up for Wendall when he wasn't getting his carries and scores. He brought Billy Bob back down to earth and respected Lance and the team minus Kilmer. Great teammate, Great friend, Great leader.
Mox: In America, we have laws. Laws against killing, laws against stealing. And it is just accepted that as a member of American society, you will live by these laws. In West Canaan, Texas, there is another society which has it's own laws. Football is a way of life.
Jonathon "Mox' Moxon: If we go out and half-ass it 'cause we're scared, then we'll always wonder if we were really good enough. But if we go out there and give it all we've got... that's heroic. You guys wanna be heroes?

#7 - Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass - "Remember the Titans"
I know what you are thinking. Sunshine? How the hell did Sunshine make the list? Guys a fruit from California. He kissed Bertier on the lips then punked him out while Gerry was trying to kick his ass. Still can't figure that one out. But anyway, Sunshine can ball. He can run, he can throw and he can lay down the blocks you need when you need them. Sure, he didn't have the confidence to make that pitch on the option, but he got better. I mean this kid walked into a team that was racially divided. A team that was struggling to unite so that they could achieve something together. And Sunshine just rolled in, didn't judge anyone, didn't see color, just saw teammates and a chance to play ball. He was a natural leader, disciplined and he was tough. He did grow up in a military household. His father was a Colonel.

#8 - Joe Kane - "The Program"
If I have seen this movie once, I have seen it a 1000 times. Came out about the time I was in high school, hitting the gridiron, getting my @$$ knocked off, so it was watched a great deal back in those days. Joe was a very solid QB. A Heisman hopeful whose season gets interrupted because he likes the bottle a bit too much. He got it honest. His daddy was a drunk, so it ran in his family. That doesn't take away from the fact that when he is on, by damn he is on.
Joe Kane: Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner!
Classic line but probably gets over-used. Nonetheless, I will take a boozing Joe Kane over just about anybody. That's what you want out of your QB with the game on the line; "Just give me the GD ball"

#9 - Mike Winchell - "Friday Night Lights"
I took up this book in high school and absolutely loved it. So dramatic and as far as I am concerned they did a pretty fair job turning it into a movie although the movie it is not entirely accurate. Here you have this no-name QB who is mostly level-headed, but prone to nerves. His play is unspectacular, but effective. He feels a lot of pressure from the town and peers alike. In addition, he isn't really getting any looks from major colleges because the entire team is built around the main man in the backfield, Boobie Miles. Well Boobie's career is cut short due to a knee injury and ole Mike has to step up. They have there bumps and bruises but manage to get into the playoffs and advance to the Texas State Championship Game against the Dallas Carter. Anyway, Winchell is a gamer in my book.
Mike Winchell: This is for the state championship. I love all of ya'll, baby. I love all of ya'll
Mike Winchell: He designed his offense around one player. We're dead.
Brian Chavez: We're not dead. You just need to start throwing the ball.
Don Billingsley: We're dead.

Obviously there will be some debate about this, but after some research and juggling in my mind I narrowed it down to the Ten I would want to be on the field with the game on the line.
#10 - Reno Hightower - "The Best of Times"
Luther Jackson: Uh, two minutes left to kick-off. Time for my last smoke.
Reno Hightower: You lazy jive-ass! You're soft, you're slow and your hands are for shit!
Luther Jackson: Hey, who woke you up?
Reno Hightower: Get on the field and shut up, Luther!
Luther Jackson: Reno, you're a prick, and you always were a prick.
Reno Hightower: Great, great. Now get your ass on the field. NOW!!
You just can't argue with that type of leadership. Giving it and taking it. I mean the guy comes out of retirement from his auto mechanic shop to assist an old classmate, who happens to be a bit of a loser, for a rematch of a game against a cross-town rival and they pull off the upset. Classic stuff.

SPEAKING OF THIS WEEKEND...
It pains me to say it, but MSU actually has a chance against LSU. I know I led you astray with the Florida pick, so take this for what it's worth, MSU will cover the 14 point spread and might actually win the game. LSU has looked very mediocre in their 3 games so far. There is no fire whatsoever. They just seem to be going through the motions, but they're not going through them very well. My prediction right now is that LSU will definitely lose to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss and possibly Arkansas. Auburn and Miss. St. are a tossup. This could all change if LSU somehow finds a way to fix all of their problems. I don't see that happening though. Why do I say this? So when it happens there is no need for you to give me shit because I just told you it would happen, and I actually believe it. Here's hoping for 8-5. That is all.
Weekend and What's Ahead
Well there really isn't much use in putting up a big spread about the Rebels, we didn't really play anybody. I did so the first week because it was the first game of the year. We were supposed to win both of those games by the margin of victory we did. As I said after the Memphis game, I didn't really get an idea of where the Rebels stand as far as a team goes and I reiterate that statement again this week. I was glad to see that the 2nd team and other younger players got to see some action yesterday. This will no doubt benefit them having actually been in a game. But, now the real test begins. We have a short week and a trip to Columbia, SC too take on the Gamecocks. Despite what some people think about the 'Cocks' this is not going to be an easy game. Thursday night, Nationally televised and they have a Top 5 team coming into there house. I know if I was a student there, I would have started drinking and getting ready for this one about 20 minutes ago. Well maybe not. Nonetheless, this is just the beginning because after that we go back on the road to Vandy and then home against Rammer Jammer. All of this sounds favorable on paper but there are no gimmes in this league, even Vandy(they lost to State).
In addition, I looked around briefly last night to try and find out some info about the Rebels on Thursday night ESPN games and those efforts, while mediocre, proved fruitless. From my recollection, we got prison raped by Tennessee in Memphis in 1996 and won a pretty exciting game against Arkansas in Oxford in 1997. I was at both those games and Mac was with me in Memphis. If you need confirmation of my attendance I can give you a list of people or I can show you my college transcript because I failed some test due to attending the games instead of being a student, that's loyalty.
Anyway, while I don't agree with what everything Mac said about the Florida/Tennessee game he was right about one thing. Florida didn't look that good. Maybe there is some parity in the SEC this year, where in years past there has been one or two teams to beat. However, based on the polls, the West is where it is at with Bama, Rebs, and LSU Tigers living and breathing in the Top 10. Do I think the Rebels are one of those teams to beat? Not sold on it yet, and it would be entirely foolish to make an assessment like that at any point in the season, regardless of who we play. I just hope we can avoid the upset bug over the next two weeks and start looking a little more complete. Hotty Toddy!!!

WHAT DID WE JUST LEARN
If you are expecting me to come on here and say that Tennessee is better than I gave them credit for you are mistaken. What I learned today is that Florida is not as good as I thought they were. The loss of Percy Harvin was a bigger hit than I expected. I knew he was good, but what I did not realize was how good he made the other receivers look. They have no one that can go out and give defensive backfields fits this year. That is gonna hurt them in the long run because Tebow is not the kind of QB that can just sit back there and thread the needle all day. They also don't have anyone besides Tebow who can run between the tackles. The defense, which was supposed to dominate after getting all 11 starters back from last year looked kind of soft. All Tennessee did all day was RUN, RUN, SCREEN, and it worked alot better than it should have. At times the Gators could not stop it. This tells me that their defense is soft and a power team can beat them. Finesse teams will play right into their strength which is their DB's. By the way, Washington just beat USC so now I feel alot better about LSU's first game.

THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER SEASON 10: HEAVYWEIGHTS STARTS TONIGHT
The new season of The Ultimate Fighter starts tonight at 9 pm on Spike. (Channel 27 for those of you in "the Wood") This season should definitely be interesting with Kimbo Slice on the show. Personally I think Roy "Big Country" Nelson will win but we'll see. Also, Rampage Jackson and Rashaud Evans are the two coaches and there is no love lost between these two. As you can see on the video below, they are jawing at each other before they even meet the fighters. Here is the first 8 minutes of the show tonight. Enjoy.

SO THIS CHICK IS RETARDED... RIGHT?
Seriously, WTF is wrong with "musicians" these days? (the term musician is used very very loosely) If you saw anything about the Kanye West incident on any website you probably saw these pictures of Lady Gaga (another no talent ass clown I've never heard of) on there as well. It's really nice of the music industry to let someone who's "mentally challenged" make music and get awards. I mean life is tough for these individuals and they should be allowed to feel good about themselves. A little heads up, if you have to google search this person to see what in the hell they have ever done, don't use youtube. I made the mistake of searching her there and a song called "Poker Face" came up and no doubt that piece of shit will be stuck in my head when I try to go to sleep tonight. Don't say I didn't warn you.

KANYE WEST FOR DOUCHE BAG OF THE YEAR
I know we don't normally get into celebrity crap on this blog, but this guy is more in need of an ass whipping than anyone is history. Will someone please, as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman said, "Cut this guys balls off so he cannot contaminate the rest of the world". He's like the Lane Kiffin of music, no talent but runs his mouth so everyone will talk about him. I can't tell you one song this guy has ever sung but I sure know who he is. I thought this guy would have learned his lesson after he spouted off about Bush hating black people during a telethon to raise money for Katrina victims, but I guess not. In case you haven't opened the internet today, last night Kanye decided to interrupt Taylor Swift's (another person I can't name one song from) acceptance speech for female video of the year to express his displeasure with the pick. Unfortunately this guy will keep running his mouth until someone stuffs his midget ass in a trashcan. If you haven't seen it, the video of the incident is below.
On a side note, why does the artist win for video of the year? Shouldn't the director and the producer get the credit for this? All the artist has to do is lip sync and follow the directors orders. I mean you don't ever see an actor win "Movie of the year" do you?

Thank you Dalton
Just saw across the news that Patrick Swayze lost his battle with Pancreatic cancer. Naturally this is sad news because I have been a fan of his work for years. I really do love the movies "Red Dawn", "Next of Kin" and "Roadhouse", who doesn't? I can also recall with great clarity the phenom that was "Dirty Dancing". I have an older sister and this was one of her favorite movies when we were growing up. Not to mention, the epic miniseries that came on television,"North and South" With that being said, we appreciate the movies you gave us. The movies that were chalked full of one-liners that I am sure will be quoted for many years to come. Who can argue with this?
Quote of the Day... and maybe the Century
"If you throw enough shit at the wall, some of its going to stick!!"
I don't know how you cannot move forward from this day and not be able to apply that to nearly every aspect of life. Work, Politics, Dating; you name it. It is so Universal and Powerful. Think about it?

CASH IN YOUR SAVINGS BONDS...
Florida opened up today as a 28.5 point favorite over Tennessee. Bet every penny you have on the Gators. Florida will be up 28 by halftime and will not call off the dogs in the second half. All of the cocky comments Lame Kiffin made towards Urban Meyer will come back to bite him in the ass this Saturday in The Swamp. Florida will be up by 50 and still throwing for the endzone late in the game. After watching Tennessee lose to UCLA at home this week I have never been more confident about a bet in my entire life. BET THE HOUSE!

Rebels Conquer Memphis!!!
I am going to be perfectly honest with you, I got rather "D" yesterday before, during, and after the game, so this is going to be fuzzy. Kinda the tale of two teams yesterday, where in the first half we were just trying to grease the tracks a little and made some errors that allowed Memphis to hang around for a 17-7 score at the half. The pick right there before the half ended was undoubtedly huge, therefore making it a two score game. The second half was a different story and Snead got hot and the route was on, not only with the score but with the consumption as well.I can remember saying, I think we need to score one more that way we could put up 40 on them. Well, Enrique Davis capped it and the final was 45-14. Its kinda hard to make a real assessment at this point, obviously we did our job considering that we beat them by 31 points, but it is hard to get the whole picture right now. Defense played good and I was glad to see us get some turnovers to combat the ones we gave them. The offense looked strong for a half but then again we were playing Memphis and I am not so sure that the are any real test to anyone. Maybe we are that good or maybe Memphis is that bad. Not sure and far to hungover to try and sort this all out, so enjoy the postgame notes.

T-minus 6 hours Rebel Faithful
Been a pretty crazy couple of days of football. Some have shined, some have fallen. I certainly hope we are not among the fallen when this day is done.
With that being said, enjoy your Sunday and your Monday off work.

So I guess we are off to good start?!??
So I am watching the tail end of the Oregon vs. Boise State ball game and its pretty much over, I am just watching the seconds tick off the clock, as Boise State is gonna take this one 19-8. So the game ends, players start filing on the field to shake hands and show respect for a hard fought game. Well thats were it the respect flies out the window. From what was shown on ESPN, Boise State Defensive End, Byron Hout is jumping around, helmet off, celebrating and he slaps the Oregon tailback, Legarrette Blount on the shoulder. Well this apparently didn't sit well with Mr. Blount because he put ole Byron on his ass. I mean it was straight on the chin and poor Byron never saw it coming. Was it cheap? Hell yeah it was cheap. Did Byron deserve it? He probably did. Who knows what he might have said to Thug living Blount. Was Blount justified in laying this dude out? Probably not. I mean he hit Byron so hard his grandmother felt it. Then he went after the fans. Classy Blount, very Classy.
So with that being said, let me emphasize this point. You don't mess with the Mississippi Boys. Sure, Blount is originally from Florida, but he played Juco at East Mississippi Community College. Apparently this guy is pretty big thug and has some attitude problems. I am guessing he is no longer a 'Duck' after this incident.
***On a sidenote, props to WR Coach Scott Frost for restraining this idiot. And for those of you who don't know who Scott Frost is, he is a former QB for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1995 -1997 where he was the starting QB for there 1997 National Championship team. So there is your trivia question and answer.

Yo!!
So I am heading to the Memphis airport Tuesday morning to pick up my cousin. He works in Charleston, SC and was coming home for a little break from it all. I took my mother's car because honestly, it can fly. After digging through her 3 disc changer, I discover she has 3 CD's in there with the exact same songs, different order on all 3 CD's. Immediately I am taken aback by this and a little pissed, so I opt for morning talk radio. I figured it was too early to call people and shoot the bull, although I did shoot out some text. Anyway, I hit the exit ramp in Grenada and I am thankful because now I will be able to actually pick up a radio station. So I am digging along through the dial and low and behold this is playing. Hadn't heard this song in a couple of months so I am feeling it. Let me tell you, the audio system in a Toyota Avalon is pretty damn impressive. Was I bumping it? You damn skippy I was. Considered a beer and maybe a smoke, but came to my senses and realized it was 7:30 in the morning and this wasn't my car. I did combat that wish/idea with opening up the sunroof. If you saw me, I hope you took pictures. Anyway, the week is winding down, college football is about to kick down the door; NFL to follow shortly after that. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to absolutely the best time of the year. Embrace these next five months, as they will be gone before you know it. I hope this gets your Thursday going in the right direction.
