Congrats, South Carolina
Cue a long, audible sigh rife with intonations of self-loathing and frustration.... now.

This Year's Ole Miss Ambush Will Be Against... | Team Speed Kills
Considering the talent level of our club for this upcoming season--good but hardly great--and Houston Nutt's penchant for doing something outrageously wacky in all contexts, performance on the gridiron aside, you've gotta have a feeling that we're going to swing an upset of some kind this year. Will it come against Alabama? Arkansas? LSU? Team Speed Kills takes a look.

A Comparison of SEC Coaches' Salaries for 2010 | Roll Bama Roll
Kleph's smart ass over at RBR does some number crunching and hypothesizing regarding the salaries SEC programs pay their coaches and how that relates to football wins. The comments thread then devolves into some ridiculous argument amongst a bunch of Bama fans. Enjoy!

SEC 2010 // The Rivalries: The Egg Bowl | Team Speed Kills
Here's a fun fact:

[From] 1947 [to 1960], the Rebels went 14-0-3 over the next 17 games. Since the end of that stretch, Ole Miss has lost just 16 games. (Actually 18, but the Western Division Bulldogs were forced to forfeit a pair of wins because of NCAA sanctions.)

So, if I'm reading this correctly, State has only won the Golden Egg trophy 18 times over the past 50 years.

Indians' First Round Pick Gets Physical | Indians.com
I know what you're thinking--"I wanna get phy-si-cal, phy-si-cal!" No, it's not like that. They have to tug on his bodyparts and poke him with instruments and stuff before he can sign. Once he does, he'll probably have a signing bonus near $2.5 million to mess around with.

I'd be willing to bet those numbers aren't completely accurate.

They aren’t including “Foundation” expenses as they relate to the football program or something along those lines.

i'm not sure they are correctly representative of the DOE numbers either...

but its interesting to poke around the database on your own a bit…

In response to Lewis' signing...

… does anyone know about our other boys? All I’ve really heard is that Shay got picked up by Washington (?) and Snead won a position with the Bucs. What about the others?

That RBR comment thread is very entertaining.

I just read the word “Chomsky” on a Bama football blog. Intellectuals and shit.

No, pseudo-intellecutals.

Hell, I’m one. I look down my nose at Chomsky.

I certainly didn't intend to imply that those involved in the argument were intellectuals.

It’s impossible to tell from reading their posts. All I see is a pissing match. Throw a few Auburn fans into this, and it should be one hell of a good time.

Wish you would've used it a little more.

I’ve been very dissatisfied with how the comment thread just abruptly ended, with no additions the past few days. I guess renaissance man zarahoopstra decided to discontinue the argument.
