    Just checking - all Nashvillians safe?

    Have a couple of sump pumps working on it and the rain let up about four hours ago, so I'm a lot better off than many folks around here.

    Dear Tiger...

    and if Lefty can't stay out of the pine trees, he might be the most boring golfer to win the Masters. Choi doesn't hit many shots to draw the oohs and ahs of the crowd, but he also doesn't swing himself into much trouble.

    sorry if germans: Saban gets statue outside of Bryant-Denny

    they added the other coaches' statues all at once. But that being said, they did leave an empty spot for the next one so I guess the plan was to put one there for whoever won the next one. Didn't Bowden have a statue at FSU while he was still coaching? If I remember correctly, it looks like...

    Do you remember when Saban apologized to the Bama faithful for losing to Croom? I would

    Do you remember when Saban apologized to the Bama faithful for losing to Croom? I would It was the Louisiana-Monroe loss he apologized for, not State. I remember because that was when he caught flack for mentioning 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.

    The great one fumbles!

    If he'd taken off as soon as he pulled the ball down, he may have made it to the end zone. Too worried about keeping his TD pass streak alive, maybe?

    Andre Smith suspended for the Sugar Bowl

    One of the Bama boards is saying that either Smith's dad or uncle took out an insurance policy through an agent after the UF game. Supposedly another agent turned them in.

    Brad Freeman threw the flag...

    Obviously he only threw the flag because he was out of position to make the tackle. <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dcdWdBgUBqw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" width="425" height="344" ></embed>

    Since we're never gonna read quotes like this, ...

    He was running backs coach then OC for Hal Mumme back in the Air Raid days at UK. His system is more-or-less based on the principles of that, as is the Texas Tech offense, though much more pass happy because Leach is calling the plays. Franklin was out of coaching for a while--supposedly...

    No kidding. I think it's one and done for the Tony Franklin System (tm) at Auburn.

    Bammer is raping Gawga 24-0

    Bama's playing like the number one team in the nation (if they don't blow this).

    I just hate to tell you fellows but...

    While I'd agree that there is a glass ceiling to MSU football, there's no reason to field a team that struggles with the Maines and LA Techs of the world. Everyone likes to point to the non-BCS schools having success because of the 85 scholarship limit, but that should really help a school like...

    Godspeed Jerry Reed.....

    <div class="postSize"> I saw Jerry Reed perform at the "dirt mall" depicted in Kevin Smith's Mallrats somewhere along Route 1 back around 1990-something. He was brought in apparently by the sports/toy memorabilia guy, who normally used his stage for autograph signings of the Dudley Boys, Jimmy...
