McGee got the starting spot. No is surprised.

I am traveling sans laptop for the next few days, so posts will be
link-less.

Goodson returned to practice, but looked like crap ('rusty').

Lane sat out with a 'stinger'. I am still annoyes with him. His
"drink less alcohol" diet is both underwelmimg and disturbing.

Our men's basketball scheduel is still not out. Previously, I thought
we were waiting on a tourney invite, which was wrong. We seem to have
accepted a bid to the South Padre Invitational months ago. Now I
think a team bailed on us and we are looking for someone willing to
travel to the BCS.

Stephen McGee is "emerging" in the mostly media-hyped QB showdown. I don't think any one really expected Johnson to start this season.

With Mike Goodson and this pulled hammy watching from the sidelines--- sans cell phone, camera, and audio/video equipment --- Shermi has gotten a good look at true-freshman running back Cyrus Gray, and is impressed...ish, "He’s got to clean up some things he’s making mistakes on. You’ve got to weigh that with his productivity on the other stuff. But I’m excited about him. He’s doing a nice job." Lane has also been getting some snaps at his old stop in Mike's absence, but the coaches still think he is still too fat.

Sophomore wide receiver Roger Holland, who caught four passes for 52 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown reception against Kansas, will redshirt this season due to a concussion he suffered in the spring. Shermi don't "mess around with head injuries."

After all the new mascot brouhaha, hubbub, scuttlebutt, and kerfluffle, we picked another female collie. Good job big search team. My vote was for a mutt, I guess I am just old-school.

48% Final Vote 52%

We barely edged Georgia. Up next is Alabama. This is a tough bracket. If we were in the Bowden bracket, we would be up against this beat ass helmet.

$Bill has much love for Coach Blair in the form of $800K a year through 2012; "Our first-ever NCAA Elite Eight appearance in April exceeded expectations we could have only imagined before the hiring of coach Blair and his staff."

"...exceeded expectations we could have only imagined" sounds so awkward.

Fran will be the four-letter network's color man for an Alabama game this year. I thought he was more of a print-media kind of guy.

Training camp has started and things were "generally sloppy"; J-Train is still too heavy (+30 at 290); and our recievers only dropped "one or two today." Our QB decision is now 9 days away with both guys feeling good. McGee is in the "offense [he] always wanted to be in," and Johnson thinks "[he's] improved a lot since last year... scheme-wise, just understanding the defenses and protection and things like that." Based on those statements I think the McGee has the job. A guy who just learned how to play the position doesn't give me a ton of confidence.

It's the quarterfinals of the four-letter network's Helmet Clash (helmet, ha!) and we are facing the Georgia Bulldogs. Cast your votes here. This is a no brainer; they have stickers on their helmets, what is this, high school?

The football team reported to campus yesterday light two player; Derrick Hall and and Blake Chavis did not meet NCAA eligibility requirements. Hall was a 4-star player and the fastest guy (hopefully not the smartest) in the class.

Our men's basketball schedule is still MIA, but LSU posted our date with the Tigers --- Dec. 20th.
