PrintThe Rodney Dangerfield of Wideouts | Baltimore Ravens News
For a guy who led the Southeastern Conference in yards and receptions last season while having Jevan Snead as his quarterback to be projected as a 2nd day draft pick is a bit odd, wouldn't you say, Mr. Hodge:
I don’t understand it...[The SEC’s] a tough conference. You play against corners that are good and secondaries that are fast. And you hear about all the other (receivers), and rightfully so, they’re great players; but I kind of feel like I don’t get my due respect.
According to the article, scouts are questioning Hodge's speed and hands. I'll concede the speed issue because Hodge is hardly a blazer, but you're questioning his hands? Seriously? He led the conference in catches last season. He is the most sure-handed receiver I've seen in a Rebel uniform in a very long time. Still, the piece does make mention of scouts who call him an "underrated" prospect so, perhaps they're just having a difficult time assessing his abilities or something.

I'm just linking this to demonstrate that one of the nation's most widely circulated news magazines has picked up on the Ackbar craze. That's all. Nothing too out of hand.
With Colonel Reb out, Draft Faulkner | Clay Travis
Very, very well done Clay. I laughed at your mockery of the riverboat gambler idea (seriously, that's dumb) and your continued hate of Hotty Toddy Man will forever be appreciated at the Cup. Furthermore, we're Faulkner fans here and, after reading this, I've discerned you to be one as well--that, or you bought some Cliff's Notes earlier this week in preparation for this piece. Either way, it's an entertaining look at the changes afoot at Ole Miss.

The mainstream mothership has a good rundown of what to expect this weekend. I'm certain BWE will have the same up here sometime today.

I was Pro-Faulkner until...
Woody Paige endorsed the idea.
"HOT BOUDIN! COOOOOLD COUS COUS, COME ON TIGAHS, PUSH PUSH PUSH!"
What would Faulkner be?
An old white guy with a cane and a GRAY suit?
"HOT BOUDIN! COOOOOLD COUS COUS, COME ON TIGAHS, PUSH PUSH PUSH!"
Questioning Hodge's speed is a joke too.
Did anyone see him run away from Florida’s defense in 2008? What about when he ran away from Memphis in 2008?
He didn’t have as many chances in 2009 to display his speed, but when he has had chances to get in the open field, he’s actually separated himself from defenders on many occasions. I think he’d be a great No. 2 receiver for someone.
He’s strong and a great jump ball receiver.
On Faulkner, if that were the mascot, he’d have a mustache (no beard), maybe a fedora, maybe not, and a pipe.
No cane. You’d probably put him in a tweed suit. I don’t know how good the idea is, but you’d have to push to make it look like Col. Reb.
No, that's Butterball, Powe's arch rival on the Mississippi Delta-Catfish Eating Contest circuit.

Please!
Powe has no catfish-eating rival. All Good Rebels should know that.
