I got what you want.
- John Infante wisely notes that bad NCAA defense (Kolton Houston!) and bad NCAA criticism share certain components.
- Roll Bama Roll ain’t seeing much positive in Kentucky’s and Missouri’s 2013 futures.
- Another fine SEC tradition: hotel price gouging. Y’all come back now, heah?
- How do you score on Alabama? (Hint: it’s not easy.)
- Sequestration may have an effect on the service academies’ athletic budgets.
- The Wall Street Journal likens Mark Emmert’s latest move to sailing a large ship. My maritime analogy would be more about rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but what do I know?
- If you take a look at Phil Steele’s 2013 Combined Experience Chart, you’ll find Georgia right smack in the middle, which is pretty much what you’d expect.

Interesting article on the Bama D. Despite the high statistical ranking last year, it skeered me a lot against the good teams.
Headed back to Mayo in MN today to take one of my daughters. Not life threatening, but if some of y’all are inclined to pray, I’d appreciate it.
Have a good day,

Best of luck BD. I believe in the power of prayer although I am not much good at praying. I will mention my friend Bryant and his Daughter to some good Baptist old ladies that I know. They are a lot closer to the Lord that I. As Dirty Harry once said, a man has got to know his limitations.

I once was lost, but now I’m found. Sorry honey, but if there is a cheap laugh out there…….Righteous? No. For there is no one righteous, no not one. I have killed, in the service of my country, but I do not steal. I will tell a lie, but just to make the story better. I like my beer and have had one or two too many tonight. Hinceforth I will leave the philosophy to Cajones. Like I said,a man must know his limitations.

I saw a link to an online petition on DawgPost yesterday to reinstate Houston. I am not a believer that this would change the decision but I admit to being surprised that after several weeks there haven’t been 5000 signees from UGA fans. Even if it has no effect, Houston deserves to see the outrage over this injustice because he has walked a straight line for years and put in massive hours with no payoff. I recommend the readers of this blog put this over the top just to show our support. It may not accomplish anything more than sending another shot over the NCAA’s bow, but that alone is worth a minute of everyone’s time. Free Kolton Houston!!!

I signed it when it first came out but it took three tries because they had server issues. I think that is part of the reason the number of signers is low.

You may be right. I signed it last night and didn’t have any problem with it so perhaps it has been fixed. Again, I don’t think this will change anything, just think we need to support him publicly.

Connection of petition to Obama koolaid, leftist “surveys” may have dampened response.
I checked a box for Kolton anyway, but the Obama connection is sickening.

Trust me on this Pitbull, I didn’t go any further than the KH petition. Not just him that is sickening, an individual attempt to bring the country down is manageable but when you bribe millions and take advantage of their ignorance as the leftists have done/are doing it is very concerning and will not end well.

Dang, Mac. I didn’t get any of that money. But that’s just me; the ignorant leftist who never gets the money. The Koch brothers called, but I wouldn’t sell my vote. They didn’t offer enough.

Don’t understand the appeal in making the long trip to watch the game in a hotel room. Maybe I’m underestimating the appeal of the Starkville, Auburn, Knoxville, Tuscaloosa, Lexington, and Oxford nightlife. Or maybe I’m just growing old.
