Fulmer Cup Alert

Be on the watch for potential Fulmer Cup points. Free-wheelin Joe Kines has allowed his eligible players to go to the casinos in Bossier City, where the Oklahoa State players are banned. Do I see Fulmer Cup points in the making?

Orgeron shows the love

The Orgebeast shows new love with his latest steal. Now can we learn to say "Jay-Vohn Snee-ay-ud" instead of "Brent Shay-Fuh".

Is anyone safe from Ed? Can he convince other cast-offs that only he can say "Lemsday"? Is Reggie Nelson safe? Or Darren McFadden? Only time will tell.

New 'Canes Coach?

Bernie Kosar looks like he wants to coach now, according to ESPN.

In the article, it indicates that he was going to be president of the Browns. Isn't that the same type of job Dan Marino had with the Dolphins?

There could be worse choices. I hear Donna Shalala's old boss is looking for something to do now that his wife will be unavailable for the next 6-10 years for any type of interaction. The party girl supply in Coral Gables (heavy on the oral) would be a great attraction.

"Hillary and I have always been 'Cane fans. Why, I always considered Miami as the second choice for my library. "

The Wolverine, or the Gator?

Both Brian, at MGOBlog, and Orson of EDSBS fame, are both stating their cases for Michigan and Florida to go to the championship game. This is because the Boys of Troy (not Boi from Troy, who I have a lot of respect for) tanked in their UCLA game yesterday. It was a case of the UCLA defensive coordinator getting into the head of John David Booty. Or so they say. Anyway, Brian and Orson should go at it like these guys.

Bill Curry gets nostalgic for a dig at the Capstone

In this link about continuity of coaching, Bill Curry seems to be twisting the tail of the Tide faithful, who left him out in the cold when he didn't deliver a large trophy. Bill, no sour grapes, huh

LSU to Rose Bowl?

Bolw fever is at a high pitch now, with LSU being high on the 'Hogs after their win last Friday. It now looks as though the prognosticators may select LSU to go to the Rose Bowl, where their competition for that slot is Notre Dame, should USC defeat UCLA this weekend. Bowl Selection is Sunday, December 3rd. Here is a reaction to the Tigers potentially going.

Tigers to Rose Bowl

Maisel and Mandel are at it again

Ivan Maisel is at it again. His bowl projections expect Florida to lose to the Razorbacks in the SEC Championship game, and drop down to playing in the Orange Bowl. The Razorbacks would then go into the Rose Bowl against Michigan. Fooey.

Likewise for Stewart Mandel at cnnsi.com. Here are his bowl projections.

Football Weekend - Fulmer scores Fulmer Cup Points

Our friend Phat Phil is trying not to score points in his own cup's name, so anointed by Orson & Stranko at EverydayShouldBeSaturday. ESPN has picked up the story about the suspensions of several players for "arrests for disorderly conduct and underage drinking at a nightclub after the Vols' loss to LSU."

The full story can be reached here:

O&S, how many Fulmer Cup points do they get for an in-season screwup? And how do the Tennessee players look in orange without the padding?

15 best skylines

The link below shows the 15 most notable skylines, none of which are in Florida or Georgia. I think Stone Mountain should qualify on its own. However, the real interesting thing is that of the 15, 12 have been seen in person by my children. They now really want to see New York, and Dubai.

The Wind and my son

What a wonderful opportunity yesterday. We got to see "The Wind in the Willows". This was put on by a high school cast. It was great. However, I am excited about the word I am hearing that my son is interested in the lead in the play. Not the lead role, but the girl who is playing Toad. Nice girl. He's now interested in frog legs.

What would you do?

Lately, as my daughter is blossoming before my eyes into a young lady that boys are talking to, I am reminded of a short story I read many years ago, "The Lady or the Tiger". In the story, it harkened back to ancient Rome, and its' form of justice, where a man's guilt or innocence was decided by opening one of two doors. Behind one of the doors was a beautiful lady, whereby he was found innocent, and lived a life of ease and happiness. Behind the other door was a tiger - sentence pronounced, execution carried out immediately.

What does this make me think of related to my daughter? Well, my carpooler & I have mused over his daughter applying for a job at Hooters. Now, this is a moment: your daughter tells you she's got a job.

Then she tells you it is at Hooters.

Now what goes through your mind? Either a) I've got a daughter that's hot enough to work at Hooters, or b) My hot daughter is working at Hooters, and Al Bundy types are going to be ogling her?

I have not ventured to think what my response is. I wonder what the father of Jenn Sterger is going through right now. Poor man.

My beautiful children

Enough said.

Original Smack

OK, in my own weird way I'm in my usual routine, opening my good book for my daily inspiration before the day gets going good, and I turn randomly to the story of David & Goliath. David is at first given the armor of Saul, but removes it, and goes down to do battle with Goliath. Goliath says he'll take David's flesh and feed it to the fowls of the air. David responds back that he'll take him out, and cut off his head.

The rest, is history. David scores the first upset special recorded. What's the moral: Never underestimate your opponent, and beware of the smack you talk.

Maybe this message needs to go to the University of Miami.

Greetings from Norway

Here I am in Norway, and soon to be in Germany. Weather here is cool. It sucks to have to be in Germany in the middle of October. But, I won't be able to watch American football, more likely something like Chelsea vs. Barcelona, or Arsenal vs. Man U.

But it's a job. Hopefully LSU will run up points on Fresno State like they're playing pinball.

The mad fan

Good one from Tommy Sylvest.

What is the forty?

40 days Goliath of Gath presented himself to the Israelites. 40 days and 40 nights it rained during the great flood. Lent is 40 days. 40 is a pure number. ?

Here's to the Gators pt II

As if the Tigers needed any other motivation, UF has scheduled them for Homecoming. And Jenn Sterger is acting as the Queen! Utter stupidity.

Props to Tom Sylvest for his artwork.

The best use for Alligators

In honor of LSU's game against Florida this week, at The Swamp, and in honor of Orson & Stranko, here is the best use for an alligator.
