| Ten Questions John Brantley will be sick of hearing. Posted: 12 Aug 2009 03:20 PM PDT Ten questions John Brantley will be sick of hearing.
10. Are you feeling any pressure about replacing Tim Tebow? 9. How about now? 8. Why aren’t you in the discussion for the Heisman? 7. Are you still not feeling any pressure? 6. Why am I seeing Brandon Spikes in my nightmares? (Sorry, that’s from my list of Jonathan Crompton’s questions he asks when he looks in the mirror.) 5. Are you feeling any pressure…from Jordan Reid? Ha ha! 4. I find your lack of jorts disturbing. Why is that? 3. Have you started to feel the pressure? 2. You know we want you to bring back the National Championship, right? And because we need to have text seperating a list of descending order to simulate a drumroll for the number one part of any list? The number one question John Brantley is sick of hearing? 1.

| ESPN is to blame for the SEC Media Policy Uproar, Changes Coming Posted: 12 Aug 2009 12:17 PM PDT
Now they say that in the next 24-48 hours there will be changes. Who do I blame? I agree with Dr. Saturday and blame ESPN. They are entrenched in all things SEC media now that they have their meat hooks around them … forever. ESPN wants to be the end all be all when it comes to the sports they cover. They want people to see something on their network and only their network. They have a Youtube channel, that they have disabled the embed feature on. That means that no Myspacer, blogger, or facebooker can share ESPN vids. ESPN even took the embed feature off of most of their in-house videos on ESPN. Why do they do that? They want to make a few more dollars. Now most of their videos on Youtube have less than 100 views. Does that sound like a World Wide Leader? A 16 year old girl talking about her favorite flavor of gum can get 100 views on Youtube. My thought is that ESPN was in the ear of the SEC when they made this ridiculous media policy. I have nothing to prove that except that it makes a lot of sense. The SEC was media friendly. Then they started to share a den with a lion, and the SEC learned quickly that they do not like being “The Bad Guy”. That is why they will change things. There was nothing wrong with having the largest fan base before ESPN came into the picture. Now that Big Brother ESPN is in the picture everything has to be corporate and very “NFL”ish. I hope the SEC realizes that the contract is signed, and they do not have to continue to follow the ESPN path. Just let ESPN broadcast the games, and try to keep everything the same. |

In my travels around the SEC bloggersphere I found something interesting. Stephen Expat of the Arkansas Expats looks to the sky and wonders, “When, lord? When will we get a rival!” Well, I’m a man who tries help others who are in need. So allow me to tell you how to force a rival, using the Bill McCartney method. 1. You need someone with consistent quality. Recent upgrades do not make for good rivals, no matter if former coaches have achieved a certain bump in perception. You need someone who can stand the test of time. Bill McCartney, for example, chose Nebraska. Because when he came to Colorado in 1982? Nebraska was the closest team who was strong. 2. You need to single them out for your season. For the longest time Nebraska was in Red on Colorado’s schedule. For the longest time, Red was banned from the offices of Colorado football. If you are going to craft a rivalry, you are going to have to do some corny things to get the rivalry going. 3. The game needs to have a special spot. It doesn’t have to be a great game. Just so long as its on when there’s not much else to watch, you’re gold. We will watch football. I mean, remember last year’s Louisville-Kentucky game? That was dull. But we watched it. Because it was the Sunday before Labor Day. And we needed football. So what does this mean for the Fightin’ Hoo Pig Sooeys? There’s a rivalry there if Petrino wants it. He has a consistently good team with a close location. A team with logo colors that are easy to bar from the football offices. And they play on a day when they do not fight for attention with many other games. If Petrino wants it? LSU is a tailor made rival. The embers of a great feud are there. You just need to fan the flames. Hat tip: Arkansas Expats |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2009 09:19 AM PDT The Bama Fan Ran to Get The Baby Signed. Yesterday, I posted a poorly made video of a Bama fan, with a baby, traversing Bryant Denny Stadium in a full sprint just to get an autograph from Mr. Saban himself. It turns out, that the baby was signed. S.H. puts it best ” Later, it will be discovered that the child is immune to radiation, can play a perfect free safety in a Cover 2 scheme, and has no need for sleep, companionship, or food other than Oatmeal Creme Pies. When she takes the oath of office to become Alabama’s first female governor after a successful career as the only woman to play in the NFL** while teaching physics full-time at Cal Tech, you’ll know where it all started. **Besides Jeff George”

| 2009 SEC Coaches Southpark Style, Pic Posted: 12 Aug 2009 05:33 AM PDT 2009 SEC Coaches Southpark Style, Pic. This meme started in 2007. It was continued in 2008. I did not want to see it stop. I have included most of your favorite stereotypes. The most obligatory of course being “Richt is angel-ish” and “Saban is Satan-ish”. I hope you like it. Click on the pic to enlarge.
