look at all them fancy forward passes kids. it's a new era.

Bracket Busters Sweet 16/Elite 8 Wrap Up
Okay so you are telling me that Kansas was playing in an NCAA tournament game and the OTHER team choked?! you just destroyed the fabric of reality.
Cinderella choked on a glass dick. this happens. Davidson played their asses off all game and then totally fucked up on the last possession that could've sent them to the Final Four. WHY would anyone other than Curry take that final shot??? i mean i know Kansas was guarding him well, but set a pick...do something. give the kid his chance to win it. don't put it all on the hardworking pointguard.
so with Kansas winning i am officially toast in my bracket. the best i can do is come in 2nd place.
i was so glad that Memphis just blew Texas and Michigan State out of the Water. since i have no chance of winning my bracket pool i am totally rooting for the Tigers to win this shit.
onwards to the final four. so we get all number ones for the first time ever. hopefully we get some good games as the last few years have been pretty much blowouts. peace out young Stephen Curry. you were a small wonder to behold. stay in school and come back to kick some ass next year.

I Went To Auburn's A-Day Game and All I Got Was This Sunburn
so, last weekend was a busy one for me. i took a trip to Auburn with my old man to check out Auburn's 2008 squad during their spring A-Day game. unfortunately i'd gone out to a show in Athens the night before, drank way too much, and got home way to late...so i forgot to take my camera, my notepad, or put on any damn sunscreen. so i have no pictures, very bad recollections of the actual game, and a nice pink sunburn on my arms and neck. this is what happens when you leave Athens at 8:45am to go watch some football and have had enough to time to shake your hangover off. all that said, it was a great day and i had fun.
BLACK LIPS+BEER+HAVING TO GO TO A FOOTBALL GAME THE NEXT DAY=FORGETTING YOUR SHIT
it was a beautiful spring day out on the Plains. clear skies (which resulted in the sunburn), lots of hot college girls (cowboy boots+dresses=War Fucking Eagle), and a good crowd. somewhere around 40 thousand people were reported to have been there...but honestly i couldn't tell. the lower decks on both sides were full as well as one of the endzones...but other than that it was empty. before the game we hung around outside the stadium and watched the players go in. saw Tommy Trott, Lee Ziemba, Bo Harris, Sen'Derrick Marks (that's a big motherfucker) and Ben Tate. we also saw Quentin Groves and Pat Sims hanging out and signing autographs and generally getting ready to be rich as shit after the draft. i'd really love it if the Falcons ended up with one of those guys. quiet a few former Tigers currently taking up NFL roster spots were in attendance including Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, Carlos Rogers, Ben Obomanu, Will Herring, Courtney Taylor, and many more.
as far as the actual game goes, the defense looked a little sloppy, but they were basically playing with one hand behind their back. not much production came out of the running game as Brad Lester saw zero action, Ben Tate and Tristan Davis got very few carries, and Mario Fannin was hurt and didn't play. mostly we got a look at a bunch of walkons who will never see the field and so i have zero impressions of what the running game will be like...but that's not really a spot i'm ever super concerned with. no the real reason we made this trip was to get a good luck at the QB situation. and we saw a whole lot of fucking passing from all four guys.
here are my impressions of each player:
Kodi Burns- Kodi looked the most comfortable of any of the quarterbacks we saw. he had some great throws. he was 14-20 for 142 yards with a touchdown. he looked comfortable in the pocket and scrambled when the preasure was on. he was "sacked" a few times only because the QBs were down as soon as they were touched. i highly doubt he would actually have been sacked any of those times and more than likely he'd have gained 6 or 7 yards on the ground. he's a strong runner and i wouldn't be surprised if he leads Auburn in rushing this year. i feel the stongest about him as Auburn's starter. and honestly he's got that "it" factor. he just looks like a winner and if Auburn really wants to win any SEC titles in the next few years go ahead and turn the team over to this kid now.
Neal Caudle- i was really surprised at what a good arm this kid has. i remember being really excited when Auburn recruited Neal as he was a 4 star on Rivals and part of EA's elite 11 QB recruits. unfortunately injury and youth and a little player named Kodi Burns got him lost in the shuffle. Caudle showed off his legs during the game with a couple of good runs. he's got some speed and i'd like to see the Tigers hold onto this kid and not let him transfer away. granted he threw some bad passes, including a pick six, but he also had a really great touchdown pass and i think he could develop into a good quarterback in another year. do i want to see him on the field this season? no, not unless it's a blowout. but i really think he could be a good solid backup for Kodi the next 3 years and eventually if it was needed he could play and produce.
Chris Todd- so here was everyone's first look at Todd, the JC transfer that Tony Franklin is so in love with and is apparently Burns only competition for the starting spot. looks like another fucking rag armed QB who can't move around much in the pocket that won't be winning any championships in the SEC. honestly i could give two shits about this guy. he's got no arm (granted he's been injured but still...) and he's not gonna be able to make any plays with his feet. the spread offense is always most effective with a dual threat QB and he barely looks like a passing threat. dude should have just gone to Troy. if he ends up being the starter then i'm gonna go ahead and pencil Auburn as 8-4 again and 3rd place in the West.
Deron Furr- finally we got to see the Freshman Furr play. oh man this kid looks like a stud as far as being athletic goes. 6-foot-3, 212-pound 4.52 in the 40. when this kid takes the field he just looks like the kind of player that can make a big impact in a game....i'm just not convinced his impact will be at the Quarterback position. he's got that weird Vince Young sidearm throw and i'm not sure if he could hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat, but damn he looks good running and he had the best hit of the entire spring game when he laid out a lineman with a punishing block on a reverse play. i see this kid either being moved to wide receiver or maybe even safety with the way he can hit. it'd be great if he can develop as a passer...but honestly i think it's a waste...get this kid on the field as soon as you can to take advantage of his obvious athletic ability. some of Auburn's best players have been converted QBs in the past...including Wideout Courtney Taylor...and there's no reason Furr couldn't be in that same mold.
other thoughts from the game
-Robert Dunn looks ready to finally step up and become the player i'd hoped he'd be. two touchdowns...both really great catches and some good route running.
-Tommy Trott is gonna lead this team in receiving at the TE/Inside Receiver postion. he's totally gonna be Burns security blanket...and it's a good thing cuz the kid can catch and he can take a hit. i'm gonna go ahead and call it now...he'll be ALL SEC at tight end this year.
-Josh Bynes is really good.
-Mike Slade is really fast.
and finally the Blue team crushed the White 30-14. which tells me nothing other than that the 2nd team defense is a lot better than the 2nd team offense.
The Tigers look like they've found a solid group of young players to build around the next few years and i really like their chances to win the SEC in the next few years. this season might be a bit tricky with the new offense and a new QB...but there are enough studs on defense and enough skill players who should step up that it doesn't seem unreasonable for a 10 win season and possibly the SEC West crown if LSU falters. and if we meet Florida in the title game in Atlanta, well we know we can take care of them.

It's Opening Day...
...which used to be my favorite time of the year, many moons ago when i was young and less jaded and loved baseball above all other sports. i mean it was my first love. my first game. the thing i could actually play. the one i dreamed of making it as a professional in, until the reality that i was too small, couldn't hit anything faster than 80 miles and hour and couldn't throw a slider set in. but still my love of the game was always pure, that is until we rolled into the 21st century with a Yankees/Red Sox lovefest that could sicken anyone not calling the Northeastern United States his home. followed by Roids Roids Roids coverage by E$PN that suddenly made you not even care who was and who wasn't cheating. and so i abandoned my once perfect game for a simpler and more entertaining sport that had always held a close 2nd for me, college football. regardless baseball still exists and like an ex-girlfriend you dumped, you still think about her now and again. you still hope the Braves can win another World Series before you die. you pray that someway both and Yankees and the Red Sox will miss the playoffs only because the collective miseries of their fanbases would cheer up almost anyone. and you would like to see a team like the Pittsburgh Pirates claw their way into a playoff spot because they were your first team, the first ball park you ever went to, and have suffered for far too long.
here are your top 5 story lines of the 2008 Baseball Season as brought to you by the World Wide Leader in repetitive story lines.
1. Yankees/Redsox
2. Steroids/HGH
3. Can A-Rod perform in the playoffs
4. hey wouldn't it be great if we could get rid of all these other teams and just have Yankees and RedSox games every day?
5. will anyone take a chance on Barry Bonds?
uggghhh. 7 months of this shit brought to me from the mouth of John Kruk every night. when does football season start again?

I'm Feeling Godlike
this clip has nothing to do with sports. it's just an interview with Liam Gallagher from 2000 when he was on TRL promoting a new Oasis album. it's kind of the reason i love that total douchebag.
so, it's a full weekend. tonight we've got the Black Lips @ The 40 Watt and then tomorrow it's off to Auburn, Alabama for the Spring A-Day game. have a good weekend cats. enjoy your basketball. hopefully your bracket and mine can survive another day.

We'll We're Movin' On Up: Bracket Busters Sweet 16, day 1
the V is for victim.
what a difference a day in the NCAA tournament can make for your sad ass bracket. i made the jump from the bottom of the pack to 4th place thanks to going 4 for 4 last night with my picks. of course it was all favorites winning (yes Louisville was favored to beat Tennessee even though the Vols were a higher seed) so i can't really pat myself on the back for this one. mostly i'm just feeling regret for picking Memphis to come out of the South. my bracket could be toast tonight if the Tigers get bounced by Michigan State. last nights action was mostly boring. Louisville blew out Tennessee, North Carolina crushed Washington State, UCLA got a little scare from Western Kentucky, and then you had one truly great game between West Fucking Virginia and Xavier ending with Xavier on top in overtime. all in all this tournament is going mostly chalk in the later rounds. i fully expect 3 ones to make it to the final four with a wildcard coming out of the South. i could see Stanford, Michigan State, or Texas all coming out of that region...just not my Memphis Tigers. not unless they start letting them dunk for free throws.

it's hard out there for former number one draft picks on shitty teams
okay this clip is kind of amazing. Andrew Bogut makes his free throw and none of his shitty teammates give him a hi five, so he high fives some imaginary teammates instead.
i'm sure some of the animosity towards Bogut comes from him calling out most NBA players as being way too obsessed with bling and not really that interested in playing basketball, but then again he's from Australia so what does he know besides crocodiles, rugby, and surfing anyways?

They should just put his car on the cover
looks like EA Sports has stepped up their game a bit after totally dropping the ball last year by putting rag armed former QB of Boise State, Jared Zebransky, on the cover (a guy who didn't even get drafted) of NCAA Football 2008. next years game will feature man of a hundred nicknames Darren "DMAC"/"Run DMC"/"The Guy I'm Taking In My Fantasy Draft" McFadden on it's cover. i call this a good move. of course you won't actually be able to play as McFadden in the game...but that is beside the point.
when asked how he felt about being chosen as the coverboy for EA Sports latest edition to their popular franchise his response was merely, "he got that wood." indeed.

i gots some spring fever
just a random thought:
it's really too bad Florida isn't on the schedule next year because we won't get any moments like this.
or this
guess we'll have to just win the west next year and hopefully meet the Gators in Atlanta to give them another nice little crushing defeat.

Spread Eagle Research Mission
this Saturday i'll be making my way from Athens, GA and onwards to the Plains to check out my Auburn Tigers in their annual Spring A-Day Game. it's official. i've become one of "those" college football fans. pretty soon i'll be naming my kids Bo and getting an AU logo tattoo on the back of my skull.
apparently all the fucking running backs are injured so the A-Day game might turn out to look more like a matchup between Texas Tech and Hawaii than a typical SEC team scrimmage. i expect passing, passing, a few QB runs, and some more passing. jesus, the game might end up lasting 3 days with all the possible clock stoppage.
i've already seen the new look spread in action against Clemson in the Peach Bowl...but i'm really looking forward to checking out the QB battle between Kodi Burns and JC transfer Chris Todd. i'll have a full report sometime around Monday...unless i'm too distracted by hot co-eds and don't pay any attention to the game.
Bo Jesus
I'm still really stoked about the idea of Tecmo Bo making his return from video game retirement and onto my Nintendo DS...NFL licence or not. we want Bo Jackson.

i have a kid brother. he has a band that is kind rad. check them out.

Tecmo Bowl is Returning
so the greatest Nintendo game of all time, Tecmo Bowl, is making it's glorious return to the Nintendo Wii and the DS. but apparently it won't have an NFL licence, so i'm not sure if i even want to check it out...unless it's got Tecmo Bo then who really cares? i mean 970 yards rushing in one game ain't no fucking joke.

You A Smart Motherfucker, Motherfucker.

Shit Is All Fucked Up Now: Bracket Busters Day 4
-Georgetown!!!!! you goddamn motherfucking pieces of cocksucking shit. fuck fuck fuck! i hate you i hate you i hate you. AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (stops to breathe then punches television) ONE FINAL FOUR TEAM DOWN, THREE TO GO.
-Dear Memphis Tigers,
Learn to shoot some fucking freethrows or else you guys are done against Michigan State.
P.S.
I Heart Dorsey
-Louisville is gonna kill Tennessee. this is not just a guess, but fact.
-i won't be surprised at all when Western Kentucky knocks out UCLA...therby killing my bracket completely. it's that kinda year for me.
-i feel like, based on the games i've seen, it's gonna be either Kansas or North Carolina and everyone else is just going through the motions on their way to defeat.
-when is this thing over. i'm spent already.

HA HA, Duke Still Sucks: Bracket Busters Day 3
-and the choking in early rounds continues for the Blue Devils. even if it fucks up my bracket, the natural instinct to root against Duke gets the best of me again. i should just start picking them to lose in the 1st round every year so that my rooting against the Dukies will also have some positive effect on my bracket.
-Stanford and UCLA decided to give me as big of a scare as possible. i am not feeling as solid on either of those teams after what they did yesterday.
-Michigan State took out Pitt (a team i always like rooting for). Michigan State as always prove they are one of the better tournament teams despite whatever seed they draw. i should just start automatically putting them in the Sweet 16 every year because they will at least get that far.
-overall i did better yesterday, but i still find myself near the bottom of my pool. i still have all my elite 8 teams alive so with some luck i could be back at the top if i get some breaks today.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD: Bracket Busters Day 2
has there ever been so much fucking red on your bracket after one round of the NCAA tourney?
Worst First Round EVER. only got 20 out of 32 and tied for next to last place. holy fuck. what were you thinking about by having faith in Vandy? you know they can't win any games away from their fucked up homecourt.
again i overthink things and they bite me on the ass.
STEPHEN HILL!!!! Arkansas thugs on Indiana who ushered themselves out of the tourney and back into irrelevance as Gordon will be heading on to the League. why'd i lose faith in the Hawgs and change that pick? goddamn it.
Western Fucking Kentucky owns your darkhorse pick Drake. don't fuck with anybody whose nickname is the Hilltoppers. they climb mountains bitch! and they sink game winning three point daggers into your motherfuckin' heart!
so much for the Pac 10's dominance. there are officially as many SEC teams that made it to the 2nd round and Pacific Ten'ers. of course UCLA and Stanford both could make it to the final four and Mississippi State and Arkansas are probably gettin' bounced in the 2nd round...but still.
oh well, lessons learned for next year: you know nothing about basketball, stop picking upsets.
bright side: my elite 8 and final fours are still intact and i've got a Final Four that no one else in my pool has got, so i'm still in the running for the cash despite my low spot right now. hopefully round 2 treats me better, cuz i just got my fucking ass kicked.
i need to watch something to make me feel better.
ok, i'm fine now.

Down In Flames
take her away AC/DC
lesson #1 about picking your bracket for an office pool or online pick 'em: you know nothing about college basketball and neither do those assholes at ESPN. just go with favorites, if you wanna pick an upset in the 8 vs 9 or 7 vs 10 matchups then go for it, other than that just go straight chalk.
i, as usual in such matters, think i know some shit that i really don't. this is why i have never won a pick em. fucking dipshit.

BRACKET BUSTERS: Round 1, Day 1
Ughhhh. i only got 11 of 16 games right yesterday. picked too many upsets and changed picks and the last minute that i shoulda stuck with. this is a very typical start for me in the tournament. so far only 1 sweet 16 team went down though because...
apparently i hitched my wagon to the wrong UberFreshman as O.J. Mayo and USC go down while K State marches on. what the fuck did i even know about USC anyways? i'm just glad i went back and changed my picks yesterday and only had them going to the sweet 16, a few people had them in the elite 8 and even final four.
even though i picked Duke i was still rooting hard for Belmont to take them out. i only have Duke getting to the Sweet 16 so i wouldn't have lost any sleep on them getting bounced in the first round. if you are a Belmont fan you probably shot yourself in the face after the way those last few seconds went down. you have the lead, you are trying to kill the clock, you take a bad shot, Duke takes it the length of the floor and scores, you get it back, miss a shot, get it back again, and then you pass it to the wrong guy on the inbounds play?!?!?!?! are you serious!?? CHOKE!!!!!!!!
Dear George Mason,
I will never again pick you in a tourney pick em.
BYU goes down. why'd i change my pick to the Mormons? must be from watching Big Love.
Kansas and UCLA both look Final Four worthy in crushing defeats of sixteen seeds...or at least more Final Four worthy than Duke.
Fucking Beasley. Beast Man. goddamn Bracket Buster. i have a feeling this kid is gonna be trouble for me. he's on a mission to prove he deserved player of the year and is gonna be knocking off my teams left and right.
West Fucking Virginia...why'd i change my pick to Arizona? from now on i am staying with my gut picks and not fucking around with my bracket ever again. they are so gonna kick Duke's ass.
lets hope i have better luck in Day 2.
apparently i hitched my wagon to the wrong UberFreshman as O.J. Mayo and USC go down while K State marches on. what the fuck did i even know about USC anyways? i'm just glad i went back and changed my picks yesterday and only had them going to the sweet 16, a few people had them in the elite 8 and even final four.
even though i picked Duke i was still rooting hard for Belmont to take them out. i only have Duke getting to the Sweet 16 so i wouldn't have lost any sleep on them getting bounced in the first round. if you are a Belmont fan you probably shot yourself in the face after the way those last few seconds went down. you have the lead, you are trying to kill the clock, you take a bad shot, Duke takes it the length of the floor and scores, you get it back, miss a shot, get it back again, and then you pass it to the wrong guy on the inbounds play?!?!?!?! are you serious!?? CHOKE!!!!!!!!
Dear George Mason,
I will never again pick you in a tourney pick em.
