Thx TB for getting your thumb off me. I am proud to be momentarily standing atop the TB universe but as with most of my accomplishments, I’m sure it only matters to a staggeringly low percentage of the population. Anywho…on with the losers.

SOTW: KISS will be in concert in Pensacola this coming Monday night. I am not going, but let the record in the upcoming divorce proceeding reflect that Fig E Fresh is taking his young impressionable son to this show—-on a school night!!
MD, I’ve seen the Wave in person three times this year. They’ve been outscored 122-26 in those three games. So, I’m back to getting my enjoyment out of pulling against everyone else’s teams.
MD, let me set the record straight: Missy put her foot down, and will not let me take Michael to see Kiss Monday night. Taking him 2 weeks ago to see 3 Doors Down at Bayfest, and his comments on what he saw in the crowd, ended it. There actually were some 15.00 tickets for Kiss, on the side of the stage. Damn shame.

Fig, that boy needs to learn not to eat the cheese.
Just tryin’ to get ahead.
And using a little Mojo.

Philadelphia Freedom – Elton John
Rockin Robin – Michael Jackson
SOTW = Shout It Out Loud – Kiss
And SM – you are absolutely correct – I would love to get a slap in on that kid. I haven’t gotten to spank anyone in a long time – now would be good!
I’m gunning for the dad, as now reports are making it sound like it was his idea for publicity.
OK this is more like it. Haggered, tired and a bit confused. Should crush it. Just want to point out that my POTW record is still unblemished, much like most of the young coeds asses in Oxford. Was scared I was going to leave sounding like an old guy talking about how much better it was in my day and where is an empty bar. Got shuned by a few people in the suite, Craig talked to me a bit when people weren’t watching. The high light of the game was when Millimeter some how got into the suite and almost rallied the team to victory with his dancing Homer impression. Front row, only one standing, piss drunk, starts dancing. Almost put the crowd and his team on his shoulders, then Snead threw another pick. Any truth to the his head is in Texas where his old lady is banging a guy rumor?
Nothwestern +14
Clemson -7′
Vandy +8
Texas Tech +10′
Louisville +13
POTW Mississippi St -4′
few sleepers to watch (trying to work on my record so they didn’t make the cut) Memphis, South Carolina, Ga Tech, Notre Dame.
Notre Dame wins today you gotta go with Clausen as your Heisman front runner.
SOTW – ZZ TOP – Nationwide > My heads in Mississippi
Snead is an over rated quitter (maybe harsh). He decommitted to UF after Tebow committed, left UT after McCoy named starter, disappeared against USC and UAT. Seems to back away from challenges.
Feidto,
I was try not to watch you hook up with the ugly Bama chick in Larry’s.
That might have been the ugliest girl in the city. Oh wait that was the blonde from Tupelo. She was really ugly. Bougth me a beer though. I thought about it for a sec then luckily a friend from tupelo said He had been there, so I really ran away. But the ugly Bama chick i think you are talking about was one of my good friends from college. We made up this great game called have you met my friend Jon. Then gave them one of my cards.
JL,
sweet saw your post about spanking and told me that he had been a bad boy. I’m just saying……
Kansas…screwed me. So much for a can’t miss pick.
And BTW, “I haven’t gotten to spank anyone in a long time” was the most fabulous thing I’d read in quite some time.
SM – I think we could be best of friends!
MD – I was thinking of you last night – Steve Spurrier always reminds me of you for some reason. BTW – I do not think Sweet is that desperate. Has he done something to you now? Or does that conversation come under attorney-client privilege?
If I’ve learned anything at all from betting on football all these years, its this. A stellar run is always followed by an odds crushing losing streak. Oh well, I enjoyed my week in the limelight. I am voting for Sweet’s sotw as it was the first balloon song I saw.
Just want to point out my 10-1 day yesterday against the Book
don’t forget about 99 Luft Balloons.
JL,
although its nice to know that you think about me at night, my “representation” of sweet consisted solely of the formation of worldwide corporate conglomerate Flagship Maritime Services, LLC. TB inexplicably hates all business entities, so he will probably delete this reference to this one from his blog. (disclaimer—this last semi-political comment most properly belongs on the MD/RY strain of this site).
I love a good disclaimer statement but was hoping for an even better story. Can’t have it all as I already know.
I am sure the blogeditor will realize your statement is weak on the political front and let it pass. It certainly does not measure up to the fortitude of your comments on the MDRY.
I must cast my vote for Mr. Feidt’s song – it seems to sum him up as he is always somewhere Nationwide and always has a story to tell.
MD…..you’re a SOTW snob
My SOTW vote is split between TB and Larry: TB’s Poor Poor Pitiful Me by Warren Zevon and Larry’s Listen to the Darkside by Charlie Mars. Excellent selections.
