Fan vote for the Heisman. Zod commands it! (and Zod is destroying it.)
Apologies for not posting this earlier this week, but for the first time in a while, it's Tennessee Week. For more Vols coverage from one of the best blogs in the SEC, head on over to Rocky Top Talk, a Vol blog of great tradition (TRADITION!)
ZOD COVERAGE
ESPN kneels before Zod. ESPN.com kneels before Zod. CBS Sports kneels before Zod. Photoshop kneels before Zod. CFN kneels before Zod. Photoshop kneels before Zod again. SBNation merely tips a very fashionable hat towards Zod. (I assume that ranking will get higher after Ms. Anderson watches a full game of Zod destroying her VAWLS.) WR Gerald Jones knows he is not facing Superman this weekend. Obviously someone has informed him he will be facing Zod. Derek Dooley refuses to kneel before Zod. He will pay for this insolence. LSU thinks this "Zod" guy might be pretty good and is thinking of maybe starting a Heisman campaign for him /facepalm.
We stand at 5th in the SEC Power Poll and 12th in the BlogPoll. The resident BCS guru puts us at 8 and believes we are the border between the cans and cannots of the Title game contenders.
Time for some serious baseball talk. Practice began last Sunday and Kendall Rodgers at Yahoo Sports has been talking to CPM for a piece on the new bat situation that was going to run this week. The cliff notes we got were that CPM doesn't like the bats, we've had scrimmages with no extra base hits, he's still working on the starting rotation, and that Tyler Jones is impressing early. I said "was gong to run" because the College baseball world is still in shock that the first official victim of Cal's budget crisis is their 2-time national champion baseball team, which has been playing since 1892. This was a team that made Regionals last year. Rodgers wants to put the blame on the BCS, but really this is sadly Cal's own fault. Thank Bertman that our programs are self sufficient. I can't imagine how nervous it must be to be a baseball fan at any of the other UC institutions this week.
P.S. Bat Girl tryouts start in a few weeks.
The Chief is not worried about utterly destroying his Alma Mater.
NEW MEME ALERT: Kickoff team = Josh Jasper and the Wild Tigers.
SEC Officials have yet to completely blow multiple important calls in the same game have a major gaffe this season. Well good for you, Penn Wagers and crew.
You mention a guy once and it all goes to pot against Brown. Sorry Andrew Hatch.
LaRon Landry: Cane's fan. (the chicken fingers, I mean)
How many cops does it take to help archeology students defend the Indian Mounds from drunk tailgaters? I'm betting the answer is more than none.
Guess What? Traffic is gonna suck this weekend too! Why don't you try to avoid it by STAYING FOR THE WHOLE FREAKIN' GAME!?
Your finalists for the next mascot of the Fightin' Calamari: Bear, Land Shark, and the Hotty Toddy muppets. Who needs jokes when reality is so much better.
Well, that'll about do it for UNC football. It was a nice run.
Expansion Insanity: The Big East wants to add TCU.
Some notes of local interest: the former LHSAA commissioner may have embezzled over $400,000 while in charge and tensions continue to mount over the LSU budget.
BREAKING: ZOD ON OFFENSE!?
...There is a want to use him fully.
More to come.
After the break, a fan of the site investigates the Swag Factory.

Regardless of your position on the Indian Mound question
That picture in The Advocate dealing with the Indian Mounds makes me sad. Those kids were using signs (that asked people to stay off the Indian Mounds) as sleds. Those kids are old enough to read and their parents allowed the kids to do that. TOTAL DISRESPECT.

All I'll say about the mounds is
People need to realize that LSU isn’t doing that for the hell of it. They’re doing it to protect something important.

Warning: I'm about to get on my nerd high horse
I fucking * hate * the tailgaters and fans who treat LSU like it’s not an actual university, where people work, study and live, but just some place you come to 7 times during the fall to play football. He probably also boos the players, parks on the oaks, and leaves early. Man I hate that guy.
Don't Panic.

No need to apologize
That’s not a nerd high horse – it’s asking people to act with common courtesy. Kids sliding down the Indian Mounds on sleds made from signs asking them not to do that isn’t cute, it’s disrespectful. And where are their parents? If I did something like that as a kid, my mom would have doled out severe consquences for me.
And to people who park on the oaks — Screw you. I hope someone keys your car.

One word, 3 syllables. RAZORWIRE
I was going to suggest an electric fence, but that would just exacerbate the erosion issues the mounds face.
Why?
All the inebriated morons making bets on who can piss on it the longest.
He's not Superman
No, Gerald. No, he’s not. He’s a super villain with absolutely no conscience.
You will kneel before Zod.

Gerald Jones has certainly never lacked confidence
I remember during the “Clawfense” debacle he went to the media and said something like “we should just line up and snap it to me. I am the best player on the field.”
Don't Panic.

Thing is
When we did line up and snap it to him, our offense actually went somewhere.

I will give my North Carolina for Tennessee Today. Apparently.
I think..
That would be a good idea for the Big East to expand and add TCU. Throw in LA Tech and Memphis for some logistical balance, and ECU from the east. Hopefully they won’t be like the Big T1e2n and refuse to change the conference name to one more appropriate.

I agree...
any of those schools—especially TCU who is good in football—should jump at the chance if they can because The Big East still has BCS automatic qualifying status. For the schools farther West, travel issues start to be a concern, but a lot of them travel a lot already. Boise could even work in a football only capacity if they did not mind the travelling for football games and if the BE would want that. The TCU’s of the world are always bitching about not getting into the BCS despite being undefeated, this is their chance to get into a conference where if the run the table like before, even have one loss, or just win the conference they would get into BCS for sure if not NC if undefeated. Houston or SMU would work also. Maybe Houston, SMU, TCU, and Boise—think of that, three Texas schools in the BE along with a school from Idaho.
They could call it the "Big Leftovers"
Don't Panic.

I hate to point this out, but shouldn't PP be Doomsday instead of Zod?
Zod couldn’t whip Superman with two assistants – Doomsday took the Man of Steel to his limits and beyond.
Zod sounds cooler than Doomsday, but let’s call a spade a spade.
No one read the comic book...
We’re comparing PP to Terence MFin’ Stamp. Also, no one knelt before Doomsday.

Hey, I understand...
… but A) Zod is cooler. B) Zod has a catchphrase. C) No one cares about the comic book. D) When in doubt, compare your awesome football player to Terence Stamp, who is one of the most bad ass actors to ever walk the planet. The guy boinked Brigette Bardot. He was The Limey. He also had the good sense to only do one Star Wars prequel, and quit once he saw that were pieces of crap.

Pffft
You’re only kissing ass because you want to rule Australia.
Gregatron is not responsible for any of the crap he just wrote.

Well, yeah!
Who wouldn’t? It’s all red meat, beer, and women who like like Nicole Kidman.

Oops.
Sorry, that was supposed to be a reply to Gregatron’s Australia bazinga.
