Okay......we give.
The University of Alabama.....has the best college football team in the land.
They are bigger ......faster.....stronger....better coached.....and...the deepest team talent wise...we have seen in a very long time.
Just ask LSU.
Headlines from the national championship game:
Only in the SEC......#1 ranked LSU has a problem. Seems three of their star players have been busted for testing positive to .....synthetic marijuana?
Synthetic marijuana? As opposed to .....just an old fashioned "Mary Jane"? A joint?
What's the world coming to?
We were at a loss as to what exactly synthetic marijuana is....so we did our research.
From JJIE.org:
In this small southern college town.....UGA won a football game....The Falcons lost.......the Braves lead in the wild card race is down to 1 game....
It's a Monday....
Other stuff we were following over this past week-end:
Cam.....can:
LSU....put on a show last night.... proving....at least for now....the best college football teams are from the SEC:
Still hot.....still summer....
"Stuff"......from the past 2 days:
NFL "foot-brawl"....is back:
On this hump day....in this small southern college town.........it's hot.
But then again.......it's summer time. Supposed to be hot. But this hot?
Let's ......."hump"......
Happy Trails......Yao:
A Bizarre ending.....to an SEC game. Can anyone count? 13 men on the field?
This is too.....funny:
Blow out in the Bayou........
52-38
This is the game the "Bulldog Nation" has been waiting for .........
52-38
As in scoring a half a hundred....plus 2..........against the defending national champions...on their home field....(Death Valley)........in Baton Rouge.......
52-38
Georgia has made a statement. The "Dawgs" soundly beat LSU Saturday on the road. This is what the pre-season #1.......was supposed to be.
After getting slammed by Alabama a month ago........the Bulldogs........with a make shift offensive line........dominated the Tigers...
Knowshon Moreno rushed for 163 yards.......scored a 68 yard touchdown.......And Matthew Stafford and the defense did the rest.
Next up? Florida..........The Gators tuned up by dismantling Kentucky, 63-5........I think that score got Georgia's attention.
So here we are..........Georgia - Florida..........again.......With the winner almost guaranteed to play in Atlanta for the SEC Championship.
The worlds largest "Outdoor Cocktail Party"......In Jacksonville......
A "neutral" game........though Florida takes a bus..........and UGA has to book a flight.....
Yes, UGA has made a statement.....
Saturday is a new day........
But this past Saturday........these "Dawgs" showed why they were so highly ranked..........
52-38
Now.....go finish the drill.
If it's Wednesday....it must be Hump Day....
In this southern college town, the leaves are turning, the temperatures are dropping, and fall is in the air. Feels kind of nice.
The election....the most important election in our life time so far....is less than two weeks away.
Stories we are following:
Meet the Rays.....
As in the Tampa Bay (Devil-less) Rays. Who are these guys? And where did they come from? Well, first off....they play in St. Petersburg(across the bridge from Tampa).....in a stadium called Tropicana Field.
The Rays first season was in 1998, after years of unsuccessfully trying to lure other teams to Tampa, Major League Baseball finally granted the city an expansion team.
It has been ugly thus far. But finishing in last place for virtually their entire existence, has meant a ton of number one draft picks......and the Rays have used them wisely.
For years these Rays have been a laughing stock of baseball. Even we here a 5 on Five have stated major league baseball has no business being anywhere in Florida. We were wrong....who's laughing now?
Going hunting in the Bayou .....for a tiger.....
This Saturday, the University of Georgia will go down deep inside the Louisiana bayou.....to hunt, fight, and try to kill a tiger. As in the LSU Tiger football team. The dawgs of Athens are a 2 1/2 point underdog. Georgia is ranked 9th.....LSU 11th. LSU is the defending NCAA National Champions.
The winner will still have a shot at the title..........the loser? The season is all but lost. Two weeks ago, LSU lost to Florida by 30 points. Three weeks ago, Georgia got blasted by Alabama.
Both teams are big and fast..........Both play in the rugged SEC......Should be a knock down drag out .....old fashioned slug-fest down in the bayou....
We say the dogs of Georgia will find a way to win. Say ........23-20?
Happy trails.....Pete Van Wieren....
As part of the Atlanta Braves broadcast team for 33 years.....Van Wieren announced today....he is retiring.
We will miss you .......Pete (the professor) Van Wieren....
Happy trails.......Rudy Ray Moore....
During the '70's ..........Rudy Ray Moore was "Dolemite".........and "Dolemite".....was the bomb. Moore died at the age of 81.
Things I think I think......
If I see one more political TV ad........I just might puke.
I think Matt Drudge........and his Drudge Report.......both have run their course...and are becoming increasingly a non factor.
This roller coaster known as the stock market is getting bleaker by the minute.
I bank with Wachovia..........they just announced a loss of $23.9 billion....should I be worried?
My home page is Yahoo.com........they just laid off 1400 workers....again.....should I be worried?
Aaaahhh........this world in which we live.......can I just find a deserted island....or an uninhabited mountain ....to live the rest of my life?
Have a great Hump Day.
Shocking.......appalling.....
In Saturday nights' LSU / South Carolina game, a referee makes a forearm shiver tackle on South Carolina's QB, Stephen Garcia.
He was clearly .....not .....trying to get out of the way........Instead, he initiates the contact.
This ref should be fired.....today......if not sooner.
But don't believe me........you can be your own judge........
Courtesy of ESPN and YouTube:
Yes, FOX.....and the rest of America -- There will be a game 7. J. D. Drew awakened from a season long hibernation to have the game of his career as the Redsox blew out the Indians 12-2. I'll be the first to a
ukey green uniforms.....And the natives are getting restless.
Tim Tebow is one tough white boy. Tebow willed the Gators to victory over a Kentucky team that featured Heisman candidate Andre Woodson. It seemed every time Kentucky pulled close -- Tebow would do something spectacular and the Gators were scoring again.
