Quote of the Day “In the silence of her mind, Quiet movements, well I can find, Grabbin for me with her eyes, Now I’m fallin from her skies.” –The Guess Who, No Sugar Tonight

“It’s so easy to be magnanimous when you’re team is good.”
Thanks, TB. That’s awfully nice of you to say those kind words about Ole Miss. Hey, MSU is no slouch of a football team. Ole Miss better not overlook them because they’ll kick Ole Miss’ butt. And quick. Anyway, I sure do appreciate your politeness.
Ok, enough magnanimity.

Okie St +7′
Texas Tech – 38
Pick o The Week: Tennesse -4′

Funny how Fig finally wised up and didn’t go against Ole Miss this week after hating on them for many weeks in a row. Did you run out of Haterade?
That was funny – Haterade!
Kind of sad about Sylvester Croom. After being subjected to so much Auburn news through the Mississippi (really Alabama) Press, I’ll be anxious to see what goes on with Tuberville. At least Croom was likable which cannot be said for the Riverboat Gambler, not by me at any rate.
On a totally seperate note – do not go see 4 Christmases with Vince Vaughn.
Zeek, note the date and time of my picks post. It was after the Ole Miss – MS State game was over.
My vote for all three categories this week(In music) go to Smily.
I’m going with Greeg’s french tune in tribute to my french friend I spent the weekend visiting.

theme – RMac
list – TB (hate the theme, but love the tunes)
SOTW vote goes to The Children Are our Future (Randy Watson w/Sexual Chocolate)
