Give it a listen. Scroll down to the post from yesterday and click play on the widget to hear yours truly lament our loss and look forward to New Orleans along with Ivory Tower and One Man to Beat. Listen to us tell bad jokes. Listen to our thoughts on the pick 'em. Oh, speaking of the pick 'em.
RE SUBMIT YOUR PICKS
I took out the UK vs. WKU game and the Arkansas vs. ULM game in favor of Florida State vs. Oklahoma and Miami vs. Ohio State. I hope you won't mind.
College Football BlogPoll is Up
Either our ballot wasn't submitted or it was tossed out as a form of ridicule. Either way, Alabama's still number one and Ole Miss doesn't get a single vote from anyone, not even in error. And follow this link for the animated BlogPoll over at Rocky Top Talk. There's a Star Wars reference in there (HINT: Colonel Reb folks ain't gonna like it).
Week 2 SEC TV Schedules | TeamSpeedKills
There are a lot of excellent games on this weekend, starting with Mississippi State and Auburn tonight. Follow the link and get your DVR ready, y'all.
SEC Precidtions: Week 2 | ESPN.com
Chris Low thinks the Rebels will beat Tulane. He also sees state pulling out a nailbiter on national TV tonight. Thursday games do tend to favor the home team, so it wouldn't at all be shocking were that to happen.

Got a question for regular ticket holders...
I was talking to a friend this morning who manages one of the Aramark dining locations and she said Aramark has taken over the concessions at Davis-Wade starting this season. Now, last year I went to the Jackson St. game there (relax, I mainly went to watch the JSU band) and they had Papa John’s and Dreamland BBQ. I don’t know if they still have a presence there or if Aramark booted them.
I know Aramark does Ole Miss’ dining; is there also talk of concessions? And if so, what does this mean for Corky’s, for example? I guess I just need someone to explain how this stuff is contracted out, and most of all, if this year’s my last chance to get pork nachos at the game.
Yes, I live in Starkville...WHO did I piss off in a past life?

A buddy told me...
that the Corky’s stands have been replaced with some other kind of BBQ stand. It’s very upsetting.

Yes it is true, Everglades BBQ took over for Corky's.
They have good bbq it just doesn’t seem as good as Corky’s.
Why does "Everglades BBQ"...
…sound like it would be an Aramark brand?

Because it probably is.
It wasn’t very well run either. They were short staffed, running out of bbq sauce right after half-time, and didn’t put as much cheese and meat as Corky’s used to. Yet they still charge the same price.
Well then, remind me to do all my eating in the Grove from now on.
Aramark bastards ruin fucking everything. Hmmm, I wonder how hard it would be to do pork nachos at a tailgate?

I threw my entire piggy bank into a magic fountain...
wishing that Auburn will win tonight. I don’t think I can handle anymore Starkville pride. For those who wanted to know, the piggy bank contained $14.57.
Dan Mullen's piggy bank contains exactly
$41.27

Go ahead, bash me now...
…but I am (kinda sorta) supporting State tonight. I support my state in general, I’m still an Alabama fan (yeah, fuck Auburn, no one bitches about THEIR laptop-stealing QB), and the athletic dept. helps fund the library, so I figure more wins=more tickets sold=more books.
Fortunately most of the people I work with aren’t message board trolls…I don’t think they are, anyway. Plus there are more Ole Miss alums/supporters working here than you realize…

I support the other schools in Mississippi when it is to no detriment of my beloved Rebels...
Mississippi State winning tonight would have a direct negative effect on us with respect to our recruits, our relative tv exposure, and the amount of shit I have to hear from state fans daily; therefore, I want them to get their asses stomped in by 40; I hope the sec DOESN’T fine state for excessive cowbell because I hope they don’t have a damn thing to ring about; I hope Tyler Russell throws 3 picks and I hope Chris Relf is so stupid he wears the wrong color jersey; Thugs 4 da Win!!
TSUN stands for
Think State’s Unbearable Now? (wait until they beat Auburn)

I hate to say it, but
I think this will be one of THOSE kinds of years. The best we can hope for is to ruin their season November 27th.

I've Done The Unthinkable
I’m wearing an Auburn t-shirt today.
I’m that pissed at State’s fans from the incessant shit talking for the past week AND it’s also to spite my ex (who’s a Bammer and wouldn’t let me even admit to owning an Auburn t-shirt*, much less wear it in his presence.)
* I only own the shirt because I have a sick compulsion to collect shirts from every college town I visit… except Mississippi State and I’m sorry, but there’s no way in hell I’ll be caught wearing a MSU shirt. I don’t give a shit if my dad played football for them or not. (For the record, we actually converted him so there’s hope for those of you who are in mixed marriages. I think one of my mom’s proudest moments was getting my dad to go out in the Grove in a red & blue polo shirt.)
Hmmmmm.
I haven’t gotten any shit talking at all at work. I don’t know if that means I have polite co-workers, I work with nerds who don’t give a shit about football, or…they’re afraid I’ll react hysterically and then they’ll feel really awkward. I kind of hope it’s not the last option.
Sigh As a Bama fan, can I do it? Can I cheer for Auburn, a place I’ve hated since Tuberville went there in his pine box derby car, and admittedly a place I’ve never even been to so what the fuck do I know?
Eh, maybe I’ll throw in with the “don’t care” crowd and watch Project Runway.
Yes, I live in Starkville...WHO did I piss off in a past life?
by Queen Hoka-Hotty-Toddy on Sep 9, 2010 12:28 PM EDT reply actions
Yep, changed my mind.
Watching Runway tonight and hope for a 3-0 final score in either team’s favor. Yup…don’t fucking care. Best (worst? )thing a Bammer/Rebel can do to a Barner/Dawg? Ignore them and deem them insignificant.

You could always watch the Saints/Vikings game.
Granted, I much prefer college football to the NFL, but it gives you options.
War Damn Eagle
I just got a compliment from none other than Sparky Reardon on my bright orange Auburn shirt.

Good idea to change the pick-em games
Those 2 were too easy. (Watch UK lose now…)
auburn is tought to prepare for...
in a short week. auburn played asu who ran similar style offense to state, I think it will be close the first half, then auburn pulls away. It is a GREAT football weekend…have fun those of you in n’awleans, be careful too. Have some beignets at cafe du monde, a mint julep at pat o’brians & some po boy’s & gumbo.
Is there a deadline on changing the pick 'em games?
I already entered my picks, and then when you changed them they got deleted. Now that the State game has already started, it saved the default, so my pick is State for 9 points…
I promise I'll do what I can to change them earlier this week.
The computer automatically selects every SEC game for every week before I swoop in and pluck out the shitty SEC games and replace them with tougher games to pick. I did that on Wednesday. I should have done it on Sunday.
