James 'Little Man' Stewart vs. UGA in 1994

Why do Tennessee fans have no respect for Georgia?

Exhibit A:

Game of the Week

Air Force Falcons at Navy Midshipmen
1:00 EST Comcast Sports

In a game presented to you by military insurance company USAA, the Navy Midshipmen will attempt to right their ship against Air Force. Navy's defense has been inept in losing two of their last three games. They beat Duke last weekend but not before the Blue Devils put up 43 in a losing effort. Air Force comes in off a schlakcing last week against in state rival BYU.

Eric Kettani lead a running game that had a two headed quarterback attack for the Naval Academy against the Dukies last week. Jarod Bryant came in to spell starter Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada after he left winded in the fourth quarter. The downfall of this team has been the defense and if they play well the Midshipmen will win.

Air Force's new coach Troy Calhoun is looking to get his team rolling again after suffering his first defeat since he began piloting the Falcons. Shaun Carney will be at quarterback commanding the team at quarterback. Carney started nine games as a freshman for Air Force which is very impressive considering the training that students at the Academy must participate in before fall practice starts.

Navy will take its first step towards acquiring another Commander's and Chief's Trophy coming away with the win in a 37-31 game that will be hosted by the largest crowd in the history of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium (another bold prediction.) Carney will play well, but the Navy defense will come together to hold the rope and keep Air Force out of the end zone late. Mark it down.

Note: Watch out for Bob if you are at the game. He will be the only guy in the stadium wearing orange.

A Straight Floridian Gets the Boot

Super Duber 2004 High School All-American recruit Willie Williams has been kicked off of the Louisville Cardinals football squad for breaking a deal with athletic director Tom Jurich. Apparently Williams promised not to drive down the street blasting music and when pulled over by cops for this infraction he promised not to have weed or try to hid it by putting it in his mouth. That is just an educated guess though.

Things have gone down hill quick in Louisville since Bobby Petrino left to deal with the circus that is the Atlanta Falcons. Not only have they lost twice but they have had to deal with a linebacker that the University of Miami would not admit because he was too much of a thug/criminal. I guess 11 arrests as a teenager are not enough of a hint to the Cardinals that they should not waste a scholarship on him. Well it seems they have figured it out now...

There is Something About Va Tech...

Former Hokie and current Atlanta Falcon DeAngelo Hall had some trouble this weekend covering Steve Smith. He decided to take it out on the referees costing his team 67 yards on three penalties on the game winning drive for the Carolina Panthers. According to AllHipHop.com, and that site has to have real news, he was beaten up in the locker room immediately after the game for his actions on the game winning drive. A more credible source Kissing Suzy Kolber also reports it so it is confirmed.

This is the same DeAngelo Hall that was not allowed to participate in post bowl game workouts by Frank Beamer due to poor behavior in the bowl game. That's a wow, Va Tech, the school with Michael Vick Hall, turning its back on a player (and yes, Michael Vick Hall is a hell of a pun). Or was that Jimmy Williams? They are all bad citizens so whatever.

Falcons coach Bobby Petrino says that Hall will be disciplined for his actions. Here is a link with a video clip inside showing Hall in action.

Game of the Week

Georgia Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide
7:45 ET on ESPN and ESPN 360

In best match up of the week Mark Richt brings his team in to play God 's Nick Saban's fighting Elephants at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama is coming off of a big time win last week against Arkansas while Georgia is still recovering from a thumping two weeks ago against the Ole Ball Coach. Two teams whose fan bases believe they are going in opposite directions, but things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem in the world of college football.

Matthew Stafford recovered from the South Carolina game last week against Western Carolina going 14 for 20 with 2 touchdown passes in a winning effort. In order to win running back Thomas Brown is going to have to step up his 47 yard a game out put over the first three games of the season. Wide receiver Sean Bailey needs to live up to the big play potential he had coming out of high school as well.

All a viewer needs to know about Alabama is that God Nick Saban is still their coach and John Parker Wilson has not cut his hair. The Crimson Tide is rolling and nothing can stop them...

....except the Georgia Bulldogs. Stafford will have a game that solidifies him at the quarterback in the eyes' of the Dawg faithful with Baily helping him out all day long. Terry Grant will be held to under 75 yards by the Georgia defense and a maligned secondary will keep D.J. Hall in check. Georgia leads from start to finish bringing the Tide faithful back down to earth beating the Alabama 31-13.

Maybe Nick Saban is not God...

Rankings for Dummies

1. LSU- Beat those cocks Cajuns
2. USC- Not even Moses could have parted the Red Sea as easily
3.Oklahoma- I'm still waiting for the Texas game
4. WVU- Hopefully they do better then Va Tech against the ECU Butt Pirates
5.Florida- Look up classless and you'll see Coach Urban
6. Cal- Their special teams are actually special. (not short bus special)
7. Wisconsin- Wow, I was joking about the upset, but I was almost right
8. Texas- Rice? Do they have a chance?
9. Penn State- Lloyd Carr gets back on the hot seat.
10. Bama- I don't know bout this one, but I just like them right now

Archie Who?

Tennessee at Ole Miss - 1969 - Vintage Son



Even though Archie Manning is doing UPS commercials now this is still impressive.

Segal Goes to Glory Days

Last Christmas break Robbie and Segal walked into Glory Days Grill and sat down at the bar. The bar manager yells over to them, "Segal, you ran up a 50 dollar bill last night. You gonna pay your tab anytime soon?"

Segal is dumbfounded and tells the manager that he just got back from school today. In fact, he took a final last night. The manager tells Segal that he's full of crap. By then his bartender over hears the argument and she backs up Segal saying, "No that was definitely not the Segal from the other night. That guy must have given you a fake name." Dumbfounded the male bartender just stands thinking for a second.

Then Robbie suggests a solution to the bar mystery saying, "Next time that fella comes in here claiming to be Segal take him out back in the parking lot and hit him three fly balls. If he catches any of them then you'll definitely know that it ain't Segal."

Game of the Week

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Michigan Wolverines
3:30 pm ABC

In a somewhat odd choice, this is not a match up of undefeateds rather this is match up of defeateds. After today, one of these teams will be 0-3 and if it is Lloyd Carr his job is officially in jeopardy. The quietest 110,000 person crowd you will ever hear will have something to cheer for as Notre Dame's offense has been nothing less than impotent this season against their first two opponents. In those games against Penn State and Georgia Tech the Irish are yet to score a touchdown. Both teams will be starting true freshmen quarterbacks in the Irish's Jimmy Clausen and Michigan's Ryan Mallet.

Both were highly prized recruits coming out of high school in California and Texas respectively. They also been thrown into action earlier than expected, taking their lumps. We have Michigan winning though due to a better offensive line and running back at his disposal. That running back Mike Hart will run over the the Irish defense in rout to a 24-6 win.

It will be the third straight game in which the Irish do not score a touchdown under offensive genius Charlie Weiss. It will also get more people asking about why there is no talk of Weiss' impending departure as there was with Tyronne Willingham three years ago. Lloyd Carr will live to play another week though his seat will remain the hottest in college football.

Beamer Ball on the Bayou

In case you missed it the Virginia Tech Hokies were only able to score seven points against the Chinese Bandits from LSU in a loss which would be politically incorrect to appropriately describe. Sean Glennon who was quarterbacking the team is now going to be replaced by all Iverson/Vick freshman Tyrod Taylor.

Tyrod under center in Lane Stadium. That's about right.


It is nice to see the Hokies come back down to earth after an off season where they came in over hyped due to off the field events that had nothing to do with sports. The Hokies were barely able to beat barely I-A East Carolina University two weekends ago but people were expecting them to go to LSU and handle the Tigers? We realize Les Miles still coaches the Tigers but that does not make them that bad...

Watch out for the upset special the next two weeks. The Chokies are playing Ohio University and William and Mary University and you heard it here first, they will lose one of those games.

Why? Karma. Tyrod wears Marcus Vick's old number 5. Glennon wears Michael Vick's 'retired' number 7. We won't even start on the topic of Vick's number being retired but still being worn tonight. I have work in the morning.

Aggies are Dogbitten

Reveille, Texas A&M's collie mascot, was not allowed to participate in game day activities Saturday after snapping at her handler earlier in the week. The dog was went after the handler after he stepped on her tail. This suspense and subsequent quarantine are a little much for the dog. Take away her milkbone for the night maybe but any dog that does not go after you when you step on her tail probably can not even breed without help.

Hopefully she will be back in time for the big time match up against Louisiana Monroe Saturday. It would be a bitch to go another game without her.

Texas Tee Shirts Can Be Hazardous

A thirty-two year old Texas fan literally had his balls ripped out of his 'sack' at a bar in Oklahoma City over the weekend. MSNBC terms it as 'near castration.' Why did this happen you may ask? Well, he had the audacity to wear a shirt showing his school pride into a bar in Oklahoma. That's a no-no.

As you can imagine he was heckled and allegedly yelled back before a fifty-three year old Sooner fan attacked him. Instead of throwing punches the Sooner got right down to business grabbing the Texan's scrotum and would not let go till the rumble was over. At this point his testicles were outside of his 'sack' and the doctors at the hospital were able to sew him up sixty stitches later.

The Sooner fan that attacked has been charged with assault and faces a lot of time in prison. This is one trial where the worst thing you could do is ask for a change of venue if you are that Sooner fan. If this trial stays in Oklahoma, north of the Red River, there is no chance of a conviction. An Oklahoma fan being convicted of assault on a Texas fan in Oklahoma City would be like a Georgian inviting General Sherman to a nice Sunday dinner. Not happening. Good luck with that case Mr. District Attorney.

Cal Tree Huggers/Campers

As you saw on ESPN during the coverage of the UT - Cal game, people live in trees in Berkeley. Below is a piece of literature their friends on the ground passed out to explain why they live in trees that should not be cut down.



SEVEN REASONS WHY THE OAK GROVE SHOULD NOT BE DESTROYED


1. It is a Native American burial ground. Native American remains were found at the site in 1923 when the stadium was being built. UC Berkley tried to hide this from the public but documentation was leaked by a conscious UCB employee.

2. It is a World War I Memorial site. The stadium and the Oak Grove are named in honor of Californians who died in World War I.

3. Berkeley City Law prohibits removing mature Coast Live Oaks. Coast Live Oaks are Protected Heritage Trees in the City of Berkeley. If UCB, the largest landowner in Berkeley, doesn't have to follow city ordinances, why should anyone else have to?

4. The new proposed development is adjacent to the (recently active) Hayward Fault. Since the tree-sit started on Dec. 2 there have been seven earthquakes (ranging from 2.0-4.2 on the Richter scale) on the Hayward fault which runs directly under Memorial Stadium.

5. There are four lawsuits against UC Berkeley. A diverse group of institutions and organizations; the City of Berkeley, California Oaks Foundation, Panoramic Hill Association and Save Tightwad Hill are challenging the proposed development as being in violation of various regulations including CEQA (California Envoironmental Quality Air Act), the Alquist-Priolo Act (earthquake fault proximity), and laws regarding emergency access and response requirements.

6. Global Warming is the biggest problem we face today. Cutting down old Oak (and other trees accellerates warming and climate change. Replacing these trees with saplings does not come close to replacing the bio-mass lost.

7. There are other viable alternative sites for the facility. The athletic training facility can be built at Maxwell Field, with the playing surface maintained above. The parking lot at Bancroft/Fulton is another option. A third option is the building at 2223 Fulton St., which is in need of demolition. A further option is expansion at the Edwards Field site. These are only some of the many alternatives to building at Oak Grove.

WE CAN HAVE NEW GYMS AND OLD GROWTH



Damn Commies.
