Red Cup Radio

I was listening to it last night, but only got halfway through because my stomach demanded I find some food. (Thank God for McAllister’s.) Guess I need to finish it when I get home.

Orson Swindle/Spencer Hall, being one of the most widely read sports bloggers, has influenced many of us. He starts college football related internet memes about as often as Houston Nutt says something quirky. We, as avid participants of the college football blogosphere, follow many of the aforementioned memes because it’s what we do.

Spencer Hall starts trends. Other bloggers follow them.

If one were to venture onto other Ole Miss sites and boards, one would see references to the PoweTron, Emo gr3gxxz, Jerrell Powe’s Mario Kart scooter, etc. That’s shit that (I like to believe) we started, yet I would hardly call those folks “a bunch of RCR wannabes.” It’s the internet ‘n’ shit. If it’s funny and it works, why not?

And furthermore, not to get all ridiculous here, but I’ve intereacted with the guy like, you know, in real life. He and I, as one would expect out of a couple of haughty college football/computer nerds, are not that different to begin with.
