Rebel Roundup: Still On Vacation Edition

PrintWTF, Kyle? The widely-acclaimed Mayor (of Blog-Town, I guess?) and damn good 'Dawg, T. Kyle King, says over at DawgSports that if the Rebels are what's selling, he ain't buying.
Houston Nutt’s club finished strong in 2008 . . . just like the Georgia Bulldogs did in 2007, complete with a January bowl win over an overhyped mid-major. (All right, technically, the Texas Tech Red Raiders aren’t a mid-major, but come on . . . if Mike Leach’s squad made the jump to the W.A.C., would anyone claim it wasn’t a legitimate fit?)
Nice try, lawya, and we especially like the dig at the dread pirate Leach, but as a closet UGA fan, please allow me to note, that, as of right now, even without Michael, we still have about infinity more Left Tackles than the Classic City Canines had in that unfortunate game against Alabama.
Devin Britton makes a little bit of noise. Our resident NCAA Champion advanced to the Semi-Finals at the Wimbledon Junior Championships before falling to his doubles partner, Jordan Cox of Duluth, Georgia. And see Note No. 20 of Jon Wertheim's Fifty Thoughts from Wimbledon:
Britton's got talent. We came away impressed with Devin Britton, the NCAA champ, and Alex Domijan (Baby Ivo) who both possess top-50 potential. Playing serve-and-volley tennis, Britton lost to yet another American, Jordan Cox, in the semis, 16-14 in the third.
All the fine girls were apparently making some social statement. Krazy J's riveting plea for social integration at the Great American Recoving Racist University is "causing a stir." We are proud of Krazy J, as well, for his inclusion of the much-maligned, overlooked purple and green female populations. Stand up Mystique and She-Hulk; Krazy J stands with you.
"He's even better than you said he was." I was never, no not never, ashamed to say that for two years I was a Baltimore Ravens fan. Rick Cleveland offered the following story about about one of my favorite Ole Miss fans, Willie Morris, and Steve McNair:
Of Willie Morris's reaction after first seeing McNair play. After a few trips to Lorman to see McNair play at Alcorn State University, I told Willie, a close friend, splendid writer and avid Ole Miss fan about McNair. Willie went to see him once, and then quit going to Ole Miss games that year so he could watch Air McNair. "Rickey," Willie gushed, "He's even better than you said he was."
We are fans.

Fuck you, Memphis news.
Summary of the Krazy J article: We found a black guy doing a rap song about Ole Miss, which wasn’t controversial at all, save for twelve or so fifteen year-old Youtube commenters destined for Jones JUCO, then poverty. We then felt the need to remind America that Ole Miss is RAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, this shit is totally uncalled for. Go eat some tinfoil, Lauren Lee.

And what's up with the poll?
Which part, exactly, of the song is even potentially, much less “completely”, offensive?
Umm ... okay.
“we still have about infinity more Left Tackles than the Classic City Canines had in that unfortunate game against Alabama.”
You’re comparing Ole Miss now to Georgia a year ago? Why stop there? Why not compare Ole Miss ca. 2009 to Georgia ca. 1980? Or 1942?
Regardless of the year you choose, what an utterly pointless exercise.The point of Kyle’s post was to look ahead, where everything is relatively uncertain. 2008 is in the books and thus a certainty, along with all the years that preceded it. It’s worth bringing up if you’re either into message board-style smack talk or looking to add historical context. But as the dearth of left tackles you referenced has been remedied, it’s hard to conclude that your intent was anything but the former. In which case, do you really need a blog for that?
Ivory isn't the analytical one.

I've got enough analytical ability to read what Kyle wrote. I'm not retarded.

Not talking smack...
…Kyle compared three teams (including Ole Miss 2009) to the 2008 Bulldogs, which he thought were overhyped. I’m a big fan of both the ‘Dawgs and dawgsports and Kyle King. My point was that Kyle, generally a secondary fan of Ole Miss, was perhaps drawing some comparisons between the ’08 Dawgs and ’09 Rebels that don’t really exist, including – since he referenced the big loss of Mike Oher – that we would suffer at Left Tackle. If we start dropping left tackles like Kyle’s (and my) Bulldogs did going into ‘08, then, yeah, I’ll get worried.
