Wednesday morning buffet

Plenty of fodder from yesterday’s edition of SEC Media Days…

• I’ll say this for Kellen Mond — he doesn’t lack a sense of bravado.
• This is the lowest ranking I’ve seen Georgia receive from a preseason computer model.  Evidently, it was the level of play against Texas that did it.
• Jeremy Pruitt brushed off complaints about his trying to poach Missouri players after the NCAA hammered the Tigers by claiming “It was just a miscommunication.”
• Pruitt also filibustered like hell yesterday.  Must be tough for him to take media questions.
• If you haven’t heard the Herschel Walker coin flip story in its entirety, now’s your time to catch up.
• The Big 12’s attempt to regulate the “Horns Down” gesture is bound for glory.
• This is what Dan Mullen was rocking yesterday.  Yecch.
• Kirby Smart compares Jake Fromm to the GPOOE™.  (Although at least he had the presence of mind to acknowledge that “… people are going to cringe when I say this”.)

Your next pair of sneakers

A reader alerted me to Nike’s next offering, coming July 22nd:

That’s not bad looking at all.

Like everything else football related these days, the price keeps going up.  This one’s $130 for the pair.  Like what you see?

Dawgs in Hebrew

Cool shirt, boys.

No matter the country, these @FootballUGA alums — @iwynn77 and @dandrews61 — stay close to their football roots. 🇮🇱 pic.twitter.com/GhvzIKGx8d

Judging from the rack behind them, there are lots of football fans in Israel.

Today, in retina searing

I’ve seen some ugly uniforms in my time, but this Michigan State get up is… just, wow.

Possibly the worst uniforms I’ve ever seen. Shocked these are real pic.twitter.com/2vylbngM7I

There’s a fine line between ugly and hideous.  That uniform eradicates the line.  Man, and to think somebody got paid for this.

The evolution of jorts

Oh, baby, meet the “jantie”.

Before you ask, “what’s the big deal with that?”, consider what the average Florida fan you run across looks like.

Wednesday morning buffet

A few nibbles here, a few nibbles there, and pretty soon you’ve got a full buffet.

• Missouri has decided to celebrate its appeal of NCAA sanctions in a unique way.
• Plaintiffs’ lawyers in Alston want to get paid.
• Class is in with Mike Leach.
• Lane Kiffin:  “You go to the national championship in what was it, the second year, and could have won the game a million times.”
• Cocktail Party alert!  “On Tuesday night, the Jacksonville City Council voted 15-1 on Tuesday to approve an $18-million deal that sets the stage for the city to demolish the Landing…”
• David Hale looks at how punters and kickers pass the time.
• The secret to Georgia’s offensive line’s success?  Size and Sam Pittman.
• Mose of the players who will appear in this game are two to four years old today.
• Yeah, that Jeff Long is a fine athletic director.

Black is the old black.

The fans want to see it.  The players want to wear it.

Makes you wonder who’s so dead set against it.
