I removed a bunch of the old post and just kept a hand full of randoms....

for the heck of it....

Big thanks to Bek and Shamrock for still hanging in there while I was gone....

One of the Wisest Bammers I Know

Mr. D wrote this quite a while back, but I think he still has a point.
Dunaway was doing the Tide Coaches show back then, so he saw many things first hand.
Things could always Be or Get worse....no matter what Auburn decides to do about Tubby....Its not gonna be pretty

Cotton Pick'n Trouble

I have thought this young man was the Future of Tiger Football....I hope he still is....
Cotton makes his Pick

Tulane still undefeated in Moral Victories

When I saw this sign from the Tulane/Bama game I had to post it.

I thought it was pretty sweet when the Green Wave went undefeated back in the Shaun King/

Bowden/Coach Rod days. Then I became an even bigger fan when I learned of both Love and Point spreads....and Tulane had a major role in both.

The East Car. game was a heart breaker...no one can make the best of losing a game with 30 sec. left.

But I have faith in Coach T and the Wave...I just hope Vegas keeps giving them plenty of room.

Pick 3 reasons to say War Eagle

This is my kind of Pick 3.....everyone Wins!!! -link

Emmett's Flaming Couch 9/12/08

Certain "Experts" have their Flaming Arrow.....
Well I have my Flaming Couch 3 Game Parlay

3 Game Parlay
Auburn -10.5 @ State - Auburns O will find itself this week....
Georgia -7.5 @ S.C. - Georgia should win by 20, but they will just cover....
Rice @ Vandy -7 - I have been on rice this season, but I don't think they can match Nix if he has his head in the game.

-----Side Bets -----
UAB +30 @ Tenn - I think Big Phil will take a look at his team depth....and I think UAB can keep it close with the Vols 3rd string.
N.D. @ Michigan -2 - I just hate ND
Iowa St +13.5 @ Iowa - I think Coach Chizik can pull it off over the most overrated coach in the NCAA.
I did not pick the Tulane game because E.C. will win, but my gut says Green Wave will cover the 13. I always try to pick with the real world in mind. But heck........
EC @ Tulane +13 - Dear God I wish this would happen...how sweet would that be

Reason # 2694 to say War Eagle

Next time someone ask why I went to Auburn....I will just show them this

Then there is Gameday.....even more reasons to say War Eagle

New Bama Promo

I am in no way a Bammer...but I must admit that Bear Bryant did one great thing for this world...He wore a hat that looks dang hott on Co-Eds.

If Bama wants more people to know their Schedule....They should use this

Can MLB Dinosaurs learn new tricks?

Is it just me, or is MLB turning the possibility of a Mark Cuban owned Cubs into more drama than it ever should be. They are acting like Vince McMahon wants to buy the team and start the XMLB.
Mark Cuban may be a controversial figure, but he is also a smart business man. Any Controversy he would start would be defending his team. Instead they are treating him like the second coming of Marge Schott.

Most Casual Baseball fans know George Steinbrenner because he is one of the "Billionaire Bad Guys" in baseball. Outside of Steinbrenner the average person cannot name another owner of a franchise. This is where Cuban being part of the franchise could be the one of the best things to happen to baseball in a long time. Mark Cuban has the Jerry Jones like power to make people both love and hate him at the same time.... The "Anti-Hero"
Let me explain- And because I am a loser, I will use a cartoon as an example
The T-Rex in the photo above is a Transformer named Grimlock. He is loud, and has a bad personality...but he is on the same side as the good guys. The problem is that not many of the good guys like him because of his abrasive personality, and the fact he would rather fight than have a civil conversation. Yet, when there is a bigger, stronger villain in the scene...Grimlock is the guy they want fighting along side them.
It’s the same way in Sports: We are irritated by Jones until the Cowboys play the Patriots; we might dislike Cuban....but would love him if the Cubs beat the "Big Payroll" Yankees or "Better then you" Red Sox in the World Series.
I will end with this,
Baseball needs the Cubs to hold the NL fan base in their region; just like it needs the Braves, Dodgers, Reds and Mets. The only way they will continue to do that is to quit being the Lovable Losers and get a sense of Pride back in Wrigley.

K.S.I. Miami

Kimbo Slice Is (the face of MMA for) Miami, but I fear that CBS and a lot of MMA fans are expecting too much from the Internet Icon. The guy has a great back story...Football Star, played for the Hurricanes, Dropped out became homeless, becomes Bouncer for a porn company, becomes Internet Star Bare knuckle boxing. Its just like that movie Cinderella Man, only a whole lot better.

It just worries me when a sports figure is hyped too much, because often when they fail everything around them fails. MMA is a great sport, but if it fails on a major network it may set them back for a short time.
I was able to watch the Kimbo Fight that Aired on CBS Saturday night and I fully believe he won the only way he can, a K.O. or D.Q. (a blood DQ in this case).
I almost compare Kimbo to an option or spread QB being drafted in the top 10. He may be the strongest and fastest athlete, but his way does not work as well in the pros as it did in college.
Even if you look at Kimbo's record his best know win was over Tank Abbott, a man who is past his prime and fights the same strait up style as Kimbo.
I would like to see him fight someone smaller with good defensive matt skills, like Rich Franklin.
The best would be to see him and Brock Lesner go head to head. While many people were down on Lesner after his first match, I thought he showed an amazing upside. Especially for someone who had been fake fighting for all those years.

A letter to Jay J.

Dear Mr. Jacobs,
As an Auburn Alum and Avid fan I just wanted to give you a few words of advice when hiring a new baseball Coach.
DON'T SCREW UP!!!!........pretty please

I hope you cans see there are two great candidates within 2 hrs of campus, so no need to get a privateer, or any of Florida’s leftovers.
Casey Dunn has shown great potential at Samford and would be a great #1 choice, and then you can look toward Troy.
Bobby Pierce has done well down there, not a bad second choice....even if he is a Bama guy.
If those guys are not your style you could always take a chance on a new name. I am a huge fan of Mark Kingston the Associate Head Coach @ Tulane.

I am sure you will make the right call. And if you don't we will always have our Basketball team to lift our spirits.
War Eagle,
Emmett
