It’s alive!

After a long dormant period, a la grass in the arctic or the horror that lives under the sand in Hamunaptra, this blog is revived.
For any who care, the reason for the long dormant status has more to do with the rigors of employment/fatherhood/pure laziness than anything else. Nonetheless, some of those circumstances have recently [...]

Byrd hurt

ESPN is reporting that former LSU WR Demetrius Byrd is in intensive care following a car wreck in Miami, where Byrd was prepping for this weekend’s NFL Draft.

I still exist

And have been doing a lot of thinking about this blog.  I am trying to work on a non-blog project at the moment, but will probably use this space as a testing space for some of  the material.  In addition, I will be posting occasional posts on other topics, like what I am going to [...]

The Uncertain future

As you may have noticed if you read this blog regularly, and you are a very select group, I have not been posting much lately.
First, I apologize.
When I took a job in sports journalism I thought that I would have plenty of time and inclination to write on the side about LSU and other important [...]

SEC Power Poll, Week 11 – Success can be ugly edition

1. Bama – Like the Roseanne Barr of the SEC.  Ugly, but successful.
2. UF – Faster than a greyhound on crack, meaner than an insecure pit bull.
3. UGA – Escaped Lexington .  Barely.
4. LSU – 4 big games this year: 1-3.  Ouch.
5. Kentucky – What?  Kentucky has another quarterback?  Rich Brooks thinks that is BS.
6. [...]

Sunday Hangover, few early musings about Bama

First Tulane:

That was almost as ugly as a 35-10 win can be.
The Defense still was gashed at times and looked bad.
The offensive and defensive lines, the supposed strength of this team, are not able to dominate the line of scrimmage even against Tulane.  Scott busted a long early run, but that was about it.   Their [...]

See you at the Crossroads

I am not huge into hyperbole.
I hope you will never read on this blog the “OMG THIS IS THE HUGEST GAME OF THE YEAR IF WE LOSE THIS FIRE THE COACH OMG WE HAVE TO WIN OR MY LIFE IS WASTED!!1!!11″ you sometimes get elsewhere.
First of all, I do not like to use the first [...]

SEC Power Poll Ballot Week 7 – Risen Tide edition

Number one is really easy, and I think two and three follow pretty quickly.  But after LSU’s shaky defensive performances, I struggled a bit with putting them number four.  However, I couldn’t sell myself on South Carolina or Vanderbilt being better than them.  The good news for the Cocks is that they can remove any [...]

A simple plea

This is off topic. But as many of you may have noticed, my posting has been slower this season than last.  Not from any lack of desire, to be sure, but rather of lack of time/resources.  That’s why I am asking if anyone who reads this blog, or even if you don’t, would like to [...]

apologies….stuff flying from mouth impedes blogging

Luckily, not my mouth.  But the mouths of my wife and child.  That accounts for the lack of blogging over the weekend and yesterday.
Will have my SEC Power Poll ballot up later today….
