Well, I’m off to Florida — no blogging for a few days.

Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year. More ranting and raving to come in January…

Go Vols, Beat the Badgers!!!

- Go Figure …

With the exception of dropping a few links, I have remained quiet on the revelations and controversies surrounding baseball and the, now infamous, Mitchell Report. There are reasons for this. I am not a “true” baseball fan in the traditional sense — I don’t follow stats, rarely keep track of the rosters of the various teams, and I quickly grow weary of watching baseball on television. I have always been a much bigger fan of college and minor league baseball. While I do, generally, pull for the Braves, Indians, and Red Sox, I am hardly a follower of the game. Thus, I am less than informed as to the comings and goings in Major League Baseball. In addition to this, there is the Report itself — it is over 400 pages long, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to take the time to read the whole thing (although I did listen to part of it being read on XM Radio — sounded like stereo instructions).

Gotta love those Badgers. Can’t wait to see how they look against the Vols in the Outback Bowl.

Enjoy…

I suppose this is a little off-topic, but as an XM Radio subscriber (Thanks Tennessee for switching from Sirius to XM, I really needed two satellite radios on different networks) the other night I was listening to Coach K’s show. Now don’t get me wrong, Coach K is one of the best college basketball coaches ever. Living over here in ACC territory, I can’t help but be aware of what a solid coach he is, and how he manages to keep Dook atop the ACC almost perpetually. All that said, whomever is in charge of selecting sports personalities for XM ought to be shot for putting him on the air.

Listening to Coach K talk is like having your intestines removed with a spoon, through your nose. His radio voice is awful, and his comments are so deadpan that it makes it almost impossible to get anything out of his show.

I’m probably in the minority on this — considering he’s making millions with a satellite radio audience and I’m here slumming it on my goofy little blog — but he could really use a little “coaching” himself when it comes to delivering radio content.

Not that any of you cared about my opinion…

A few links worth looking at:

• A whole bunch of Criminoles get themselves in trouble, and out of the Music City Bowl — Loser With Socks: “Criminoles Get Caught,” YMSWWC: “Good God F$U Cheats…,” EDSBS, and ESPN
  
• Apparently this is a common problem, considering tOSU and the Great Sweater Vest just suspended a few of the Buckeyes for the Championship game as well — EDSBS: “Two Buckeyes Suspended” (LSU is lookin’ better everyday…)
• In case you haven’t noticed, the Kentucky Wildcats Basketball team, er … sucks! — Bruce Ball: “BWAHAHAHAHAHA (Part 2)“ and Sea of Blue
• For those of you who follow that sort of thing, over on Rocky Top Talk they’ve updated the Tennessee Recruiting Board
• The Great Punkin’ gets to looking for some assistant coaches … since all of his left — 3rd Saturday: “Good News, Bad News” and a few of the options are beginning to be discussed. — YMSWWC: “Fulmer’s Biggest Choice“
• Damn, sucks to be an Bama fan on the way to the bowl game in Shreveport. — Deep South Sports: “PWNED“
• Meanwhile CrimsonDaddy is handing out the “2007 SEC Football Awards.” (Lovin’ those new categories this year…)
• Rich Rodriguez tells everyone to “Rah-sppeck” his “Aaah-thor-itah” — SI: “Rodriguez Fires Michigan Staff“ and YMSWWC: “Dirty Sanchez Ain’t Paying Shit…“
• It looks like the a couple of the Tarheads bit off a little more woman than they could chew. — Brahsome: “Save the Whales,” Sunday Morning QB: “When the Tape Comes Out,” WRAL, and my own hometown rag The Raleigh Snooze & Disturber
• A little eye-candy over at Busted Coverage
• Apparently this guy from Texas is a little bit upset about the size of Jimmy Dean sausage. Too Funny, especially toward the end! (Some foul language)
• SEC fans just can’t miss The Ultimate Collection of Tim Tebow Jokes over on Football Diet.

I can already feel my lunch coming up at the thought of having to listen to Terry Bowden on television again.

Folks out there are reporting that Terry-boy is bound for West Virginia and will be taking the vacancy left by Rich Rodriguez. While I can — perhaps — see why the Mountaineers might want Bowden, due to the “Bowden Mystique,” he has never truly proven than he can win consistently with his own players (In 1993, he had just inherited all of the players that Pat Dye bought bribed recruited for Auburn). Assistant coaches seem to hate the man, he can’t recruit for shit, and his most notable accomplishment at Auburn was sleeping with the daughter of one of the major benefactors. Add to that the reality that there is nothing more annoying than listening to him talk, and it becomes much less apparent to me why the ’Eers would want him.
