Kiffin watch: rapidly approaching dumbass territory

I’ve never made back-to-back posts concerning Junior before, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose.  Anyway, after reading this Knoxville News online story (h/t The Wizard of Odds), I can only conclude that anyone still using the “Lane Kiffin, crazy like a fox” line means to insult the intelligence of foxes.

Saturday morning buffet

Let’s see… a little fruit… maybe a bagel with a shmear of cream cheese…

Nothing like a little coachspeak to start out with, here from Bobby Petrino talking about the oft-sidelined Ryan Mallett:  “We’ve been working with him for some time of not throwing the full hummer…”
I’m glad to see this guy get some well deserved [...]

One step ahead of the game

Check out this fascinating little bit of information Barnhart dishes out today at his blog:
Over the course of the week I found out that there is an interesting little nugget in the new BCS contract with ESPN, which will begin after the 2010 regular season.
In past contracts if the Rose Bowl lost one of its [...]

You must be so proud.

If this doesn’t distill all of the suckitude of the World Wide Leader into one sentence, I’m not sure what does:
At its upfront presentation, sports network ESPN emphasized its considerably growing reach more so than its programming punch.
“Less good in more places”.  How’s that for a catchy marketing slogan?

Ain’t nothin’ free.

All that wonderful new TV money raining down on the SEC… now it’s time for the check to be presented:
… Since every SEC football game will now be televised, Adams said he expects Georgia will be playing more night games under the new deal, probably one more per year.
Games on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU and [...]

Friday morning buffet

Fresh, hot and tasty… mmmm.

Former Dawg great Rex Robinson has started a blog.  I just thought I’d point out in a post of his that he said this:  “Coach Richt comes from the George Bush school of loyalty, and thats not a compliment.” Political injection alert!  Go get him, guys!
What do you do when you’re Steve [...]

Why I hate ESPN: reason #2874

Words fail me:

Next week’s College Football Live — a weekday afternoon studio show dedicated to college football aired generally at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN — will feature daily analysis, news, interviews and a special weeklong focus on Notre Dame from May 11-15, including interviews with head coach Charlie Weis and quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Kiffin watch: riddle me this.

This triptych currently adorns ESPN.com’s college football page, which highlights an article summarizing spring practices around the SEC:
Aside from participating in  SEC football, what do all three have in common?
It can’t be accomplishments, since the guy in the middle hasn’t coached his first SEC game yet.
It can’t be winning, since the guy in the middle [...]

It’s G-Day – here we are now, entertain us.

As someone who accepts as a general principle that any day with a college football game, no matter how lame or contrived it may be, has something to recommend about it, I’m glad today is here.
I just don’t go into these spring games expecting much, that’s all.  And that’s particularly the case this year, because [...]

Domination, thy name isn’t Florida.

Michael Elkon’s got an intriguing post up in response to a poll question at ESPN.com about which college team has been the most dominant in its sport this decade.  The choices are fairly shallow, in my opinion – UConn women’s basketball, USC football, Florida football, or UNC basketball – and I agree with Michael’s reasoning [...]
