Pick and choose, friends.

• Jason Whitlock has a thoughtful piece on why academic analysis of college athletics should be more nuanced.  The problem is that the NCAA doesn’t do nuance well.
• Rich Rodriguez reminds me why I’m not particularly swept up with Twitter fever.
• Belt-tightening at Clemmins. Good thing the Tigers saved money by not chasing a big name football coach.
• Bryce Brown can’t hold a candle to Herschel Walker, in more ways than one.
• Atlanta, September 18. Trust me on this.  (h/t Dave Barry’s Blog)
• You were always on my mind:  check out the very end of David Hale’s interview with Kiante Tripp.  I guess the injury bug has gotten to these guys.
