Friday Free For All…..Volume 13.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 13.0

By: J-Shannon

It’s Friday, and it is Super Bowl weekend! Are you excited, can you feel it deep down in the pit of your stomach? I’m already looking forward to Sunday. I know I’m looking forward to Sunday. There will be plenty of Good Ol Fashioned American Brew HAHA on ice, Chips and Dip, and chicken wings. I’m taking the Steelers, strictly because they have been there A LOT, and know how to handle the pressure. But to hold you over until Sunday, here is a fresh edition of the Friday Free for All…..

--The “I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW” Stories from this Week:

1.    High School Recruits signed on the dotted lines….

Some of you Bro Nameth supporters may be sports fans, but if you aren’t a college football junkie like I am, allow me to catch you up on what went down on National Signing Day. It looks like the Seminoles are on their way back to domination. Florida State has a small signing class (13) but a star studded class. The biggest shockers to me for the Day were the Clemson Tigers and the Georgia Bulldogs. Clemson is losing Da’Quan Bowers on defense, but they certainly are reloading. Clemson brought in the #1 ILB in the country, Tony Steward, and #2 OLB in the country, Stephone Anthony. Also added were two 5 star players on offense, RB Mike Bellamy, and WR Sammy Watkins. Keep in mind the #1 overall player in the country Jadeveon Clowney still has Clemson on his short list of 3.

Mark Richt may not have had the year on the field that he was hoping for, but he has worked his ass off in the offseason. Richt has also brought in a star studded class for the Bulldogs. Georgia struck recruiting gold, landing 5 Star RB Isaiah Crowell, and 5 Star DE Ray Drew. I got to give the Bulldogs some credit, and I’m a little nervous to see how the Bulldogs will develop over the next couple of seasons. I will say this, if Richt doesn’t produce immediately after the class he just recruited, he will get sent packing…..

Here is how I ranked the Recruiting Classes:

1.     Florida State

2.     Alabama

3.     Texas

4.     Georgia

5.     LSU

6.     USC

7.     Clemson

8.     Oregon

9.     Ohio State

Keep in Mind, IF, and that’s a big IF, Clowney signs with Clemson, I will move them up to the number 4 class in the country.

--Things that Have Pissed Me off This Week:

1.     People who are pissed that Ben Roethlisberger had a few Beers…….

So Big Ben flew into Dallas Tuesday to prepare for the ‘Ship. It turns out Wednesday night he took a couple of his linemen out to a piano bar, and ran up a tab of drinks to the tune of $800. Some people are pissed that he went out and had drinks during the week he is preparing for the big game. I’ll just say it like this, the man is an adult. He old enough to make his own decisions, go where he wants, drink what he wants, stay out as late as he wants. I think if Head Coach Mike Tomlin was really concerned about his QB at night, he would put a curfew on the guy.

I think it needs to be pointed out that Peter King, who is the best NFL writer in the business, was at Steelers practice today. King tweeted after practice that Big Ben is “scalding hot”, and he “looked terrific.” King also pointed out that at one point, Ben threw 4 touchdowns in a row in the Red Zone.

I don’t think Coach Tomlin is worried at all about what his QB is doing at night…..

2. Gabe Wright, Who the Hell do you think you are??

So Auburn has yet again another solid recruiting class. This year they landed 4 Star recruit Gabe Wright. Gabe makes his announcement on national television, and throws on a “customized” Auburn hat. Gabe’s hat reads Nick Who? This is a reference to the future Number 1 pick Nick Fairley, who plays the same position as incoming Wright. Now Gabe may be a good player, and yea he is a 4 star recruit, but who the hell does this guy think he is? So you have the POTENTIAL to be a good player. As of right now, you couldn’t hold Fairley’s Jock. Fairley wasn’t a 4 star recruit. He was actually a 2 star, who went to JUCO, and worked his way up to start for Auburn. The guy worked his ass off to get to where he is today. Before you start getting cocky, how about step foot on a college campus and actually do something. Your explanation was shitty too, it made about as much sense as a virgin porn star…….

Here is the clip of the Doucher himself…..

--Youtube Clips of the Week:

I’m going to be honest, I thought Lil Weezy was a Saints fan from New Orleans, but he kills it here for Green Bay. Take a good listen, and listen to the lyrics…..

This one is dedicated to all of us white boys who always wanted to dunk but know there isn’t a chance in hell of it actually happening….. Shout out to Tom Pritchard of Indiana for proving some white boys can jump….

This is your lucky day as we got videos all over the place...Shoutout to Bro Zimmerman for this vid...

This last clip has got to be the fastest goalie in the history of soccer. This dude might be able to give Usain Bolt a "run" for his money...It looks fake but is 100% real. This is easily the fastest white dude alive...Shoutout to Bro Switzer for the vid....

-The “LIVIN’ THE DREAM” Legend of the Week:

This week’s Livin’ the Dream legend is none other than Bro Paterno. The guy has the life right now. He is the Head football coach for Penn State. But he is at the point in his career where his coordinators do all the work, and he just sits back and watches the action. Bro Paterno is livin’ the dream……

--Shout-Outs for the Week:

        *   Schmee- It wasn't too long ago your ambitions were to be a pirate. You have turned in your
             eye patch for a family. Wanted to give you a shoutout on your Birthday. HAPPY BDAY!       

*    Matt Watts- I would almost rather get herpes than have to admit he is right, but he did call me out on a name I left off of Monday’s NFL Underrated List. Jon Kitna did step in for Tony Bromo, and did a solid job. The guy never gets any love.

*    Cleveland Cavaliers- You still suck ass, 23 in a row, not too shabby….

*    Andy Pettitte- Congrats on a solid career, even though you were caught juicing. At least you admitted you juiced like a man, and moved on…..

*    J’Woww- She was slammin in her leather outfit last night……

*    Extra Mustard- If you haven’t clicked on extra mustard on cnnsi.com, you are missing out. Does anyone know what the G on the Green Bay Packers Helmet Stands for?? No it’s not Green Bay, Click here for the Answer….

*     Coach Mike Smith- He got his new extension, well deserved….

*     The Newest Bro Nameth Supporters…..  Eddie Carta, Wifey Crooks, Uncle Bro Tomassi, and Jeff Fetters…..

      One last sports worthy note. We have run across this facebook page that is spreading the word on steroid use. You should take a look and help spread the word. Hey sports fans, do you play steroid-free?

As always, it’s been a pleasure. Leave a comment if you disagree with anything I got to say, and I’ll prove to you why you are wrong….. Check in again Monday Suckazzzzz.

Happy Crappy Monday Morning......Volume 10.0

Happy Crappy Monday Morning……Volume 10.0

By: J-Shannon

It’s Christmas time people…. You have to love this time of year. You go to work on time, but only do about 60% of what you normally would do. No one gets work done over the next couple of weeks. People are planning family time, what they are doing for Christmas, and searching for some last minute Christmas gifts. What better way to kick off Christmas then with a Happy Crappy Monday Morning, the Christmas edition. Enjoy…..

1.       Dirty Birds Flying High –

12-2. Man that sounds good. I’ll admit, I was extremely skeptical about Matt Ryan being drafted when he did. But what the hell do I know? I think this team is special. They are good, but not great. They are confident, not cocky. They get things done the hard way, by pounding the ball with Turner and Snelling, and wearing down the defense. Matt Ryan doesn’t try and force plays, he just takes what the defense gives him. It is amazing how much better your team plays when you have third and short situations, as opposed to third and long. It seems every time the Falcons have third down this season, it is only 3 or 4 yards to go. This team is special. This team has an opportunity to do something special…. How big is that Monday night football game at the Dome against the Saints going to be? Does home field advantage throughout the playoffs mean anything to you?

2.       MV7 = MVP

Look, I know Tom Brady is a stud. I know his numbers are unreal. I know he is going to go down as one of the best Quarterbacks ever. But if you took him away from that team, would there be that much of a fall off? Yea, they wouldn’t have gone 12-2, but I think it’s safe to say they would have made the playoffs. Now, take Michael Vick away from the Eagles. You’re talking a completely different team. The guy is single handily leading the Eagles to the playoffs on fire. Their O-Line is shaky; doesn’t matter, Vick breaks a tackle or 2 and scrambles for 40 yards. Maclin and Jackson are killing it lately, because they have a guy with an arm that can use their speed to his advantage. This team is hot, and is being led by a guy who has completely changed from the player and person he was 3 years ago. I’ll put it to you this way, I’m excited to see how far the Falcons go into the playoffs, but I damn sure don’t want to have to play MV7 or the Eagles.

3.       All the Miami Heat and King James Haters, where Did you Go?

You know it is funny, the Heat lose a couple of games, and everyone thinks it was a huge mistake for King James to “Take his Talents” to Miami. Well, the Heat is starting to get their shit together. They have won 12 in a row. Actually, they haven’t lost a game this month, and it’s the 20^th of the month. The more time that Wade and King James spend together on the court, the better this combination is going to get. If you were hating on the Heat, and talking about how this combination wasn’t going to work out, then you might want to consider hating on some other team…..

4.       The Town – Solid Flick

I had a chance to lie around on the couch Sunday night, and decided to switch it up from my normal routine. Normally, it’s a night to get my column together, and watch Faith Hill kick off Sunday Night Football. But this Sunday, I decided to watch The Town. Great flick, I highly recommend checking it out. I’m normally not a Ben Affleck fan, but he rocked it in this movie. Anytime you have a movie that’s action packed, involves a bank robbery or 2, and somehow finds a way to incorporate a professional sports team, it’s going to be a winner. This movie is a solid Bro flick…

5.       57^th Fighter Group Restaurant Review…..

You know how it works, I rank based on the following categories: Atmosphere, Talent Level, Cheddar Factor, Drink Accessibility, and Playlist.

·         Atmosphere 9….. This place is great and unique. The restaurant is a themed restaurant, with the feeling of eating on a military base. From the military cars in the parking lot, to the guard gate at the entrance, to the sandbags on the walls, it really gives the feel of a military base. Also, don’t expect to hear music while in the bathroom, instead plan to hear famous war generals giving motivational speeches.

·         Talent Level 6…. One word, COUGAR! Cougars are on the prowl at this place. Keep your eyes peeled, and be prepared, because you will get hit on.

·         Cheddar Factor 7…. It’s a little on the high side, but it is nicer than your ordinary restaurant. The food was amazing. I recommend getting a steak. Also, if you are on active duty, just bring an ID. It is free, as a thanks for your service.

·         Drink Accessibility 8…. The place is a pretty good sized restaurant. There are multiple bars, and cocktail waitresses everywhere. I didn’t have any problem getting a drink in this place.

·         Playlist  6….. Yea, they had a DJ for the dance floor. But their music selection was a little more suited for the Cougars in the bar than anyone else. It is a little old school. Don’t expect to hear anything from the 2000 era.

·         FINAL SCORE = 36…. Translation: Check it out. It is definitely worth the atmosphere, at least once. Also, if you have anyone from the WWII Era, I’m told they have to go, because it is a solid reminder of the past.

6.       DeSean Jackson made the Giants his Bitch….

This won’t take long. Hey Giant fans, how did that make you feel? Look, 14 seconds left in the game, there should not be a remote chance that that punt lands anywhere close to in bounds. It’s that simple. Mr. Coughlin, there is a guy in North Carolina right now, and his name is Bill Cowher. He is preparing to put the old whistle around his neck again, and get back into Coaching in the NFL. That kick off your punter’s foot might as well have been your job if you don’t win the Super Bowl this year……By the way, if you missed it, here it is…..

7.       The NFL

Watch the clip below. You mean to tell me that Tyler Brayton gets fined 15k for that hit and the poor JETS assistant who makes about 80k gets popped for 25k?? Cmon Goodell this is embarrassing. Not only should Tyler Brayton be suspended, Curtis Lofton should take him out back and beat his ass. Have a look see:

8.       Get the Resume’s Ready, Vacancies Everywhere after Christmas

Come January, there are going to be multiple coaching jobs open in the NFL. Hell, so far there are already 3, with the Cowgirls, Broncos, and the Vikings open. But in my eyes, there are going to be a few more. Keep an eye on the Texans, who seem to add talent ever year but remain mediocre. The Titans, who look like they are going to make the stupid decision to choose Vince Young over Jeff Fischer. The Panthers, although who wants that job. The Giants, just because New York doesn’t put up with the type of crap that happened yesterday. (See #6). Other possibilities include Jacksonville and San Fran. Bad news for you Atlanta fans, don’t be surprised if your Offensive Coordinator is a head coach somewhere else next year.

9.       Greinke= From Shittiest to Just Shitty

Just a quick Congrats to Zack Greinke, you left the really shitty team you have been playing for, and now play for just a Shitty team. Congrats.

10. The Top 10 in the Top 10…….

Oh the Top 10. This week is special; it is the Christmas top 10. But the top 10 Christmas movies have been done, so I decided to switch it up a bit. I did the Top 10 Dysfunctional family members in a Christmas movie. Enjoy, and don’t act like you don’t have any of these family members in your family.

1.       UNCLE EDDIE – Christmas Vacation: Possibly my favorite Christmas Character of all time, How could you have a dysfunctional family without Uncle Eddie? Showing up in his horrible RV, with his dog Snots, Eddie somehow charms you into liking him. Everyone has an uncle Eddie in their family.

Favorite Quote:  “Shitter was full Clark!”

2.       BUZZ MCCALLISTER – Home Alone:  What a great older brother. Buzz was that annoying older brother who did anything he could do to get on your nerves. The fact that he ate an entire pizza just to piss his younger brother off is priceless. The downside to Buzz, his girlfriend…. WOOF.

Favorite Quote: “No, for three reasons: A, I'm not that lucky. Two, we use smoke detectors and D, we live on the most boring street in the whole United States of America, where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period.”

3.       MR. PARKER- A Christmas Story: Don’t act like you don’t watch this movie at least twice when it is on for 24 hours on TBS. One of the best movies of all time in my book, Mr. Parker reminds everyone of their own father in one way or another. You have to love the old man, complaining about the neighbors dogs, loving his leg lamp, and having his special ways of fixing the problems in the house.

Favorite Quote: “What is a lamp, you nincompoop? It's a Major Award. I won it!”

4.       Dr. NEIL MILLER (Step dad)- The Santa Clause- Tell me you remember the Santa Clause? Tim Allen was great, but my favorite character in that movie was the Stepfather, Neil. Why? I want just one of those phenomenal sweaters’ he used to wear. They were better than anything Mr. Cosby use to wear.

Favorite Quote: “All I ever wanted for Christmas was an Oscar Meyer Weiner whistle.”

5.       BUDDY THE ELF- ELF: I know he isn’t a family member in a movie, but how can you have a Christmas list without adding Buddy.

Favorite Quote:” I thought maybe we could make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands”

6.       UNCLE FRANK- Home Alone: Everyone has the annoying cheap uncle in the family. Uncle Frank is that uncle. He doesn’t let you watch the good movies, and treats you like a child. Uncle Frank was an ass.

Favorite Quote: “Look what you did you little Jerk”

7.       AUNT BETHANY- Christmas Vacation: What a sweet old lady. She is deaf, and wraps her cat up as a gift. Every line she has in the movie is priceless. From the moment she is suppose to say the Blessing, and actually says the Pledge of Allegiance, to the part where she hears the squirrel. Everyone loves Aunt Bethany.

Favorite Quote: “Oh Dear, did I break wind?”

      8.       DENVER AND DALLAS MCVIE- 4 Christmases: Everyone has those siblings they want to just pound. Well Denver and Dallas McVie are training for the UFC so no dice when Brad rolls in for Christmas.

             Favorite Quote: "Hey Brad, lick my gonads."

       9.       SCOTT CALVIN- The Santa Claus:   What happens when you accidentally kill Santa Claus? You become him. Your boy Scott Calvin has got some serious stories to tell at his sons Career Day.

             Favorite Quote: "We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liqour, played with my shot guns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women..."

        10.     THE KID- Bad Santa: Seriously his name in the movie is The Kid. Everyone knows that chubby kid who has the cheeks that look like they are going to explode. This is that kid.

              Favorite Quote: "It's a wooden pickle."

 Leave me your thoughts and comments on the facebook post…. Special shout out to Meghan McClamb for the help on the top 10. See you all Friday morning Suckazzzzzz.

Friday Free For All Volume 8.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 8.0

By: J Shannon

With some sad, sad, news, I hate to be the one to say this, but football season is almost over. I know it is rough, but if we stick together as a Bro Nameth family, we will find a way to get through the rest of the year. By the Way, if you haven’t ADDED BRO NAMETH SPORTS ON FACEBOOK, PLEASE GET BROTIVATED AND ADD ASAP!

----Top 3 “I think you should know” Stories from this Week:

1.       Keith Fitzhugh, You are def. a BRO in my book….

If you haven’t read anything about this story, it is one of the more heartfelt stories going on in sports right now. Keith Fitzhugh is an ex NFL player who lives and works here in the Atlanta area. He is a train conductor with the Norfolk Southern Railroad. Fitzhugh was offered a practice squad spot with the New York Jets, and an opportunity to possibly stay on the rest of the year. Fitzhugh declined, stating he cannot take a risk on his dream, because he has a guaranteed paycheck every two weeks now. He also said that his paycheck he currently gets not only pays his expenses, but also helps support his parents. The fact that the guy will put aside his own dreams to keep supporting his parents says a lot….

2.       College Basketball Saturday..….

There are a few big games this weekend, and I’m looking forward to nothing more than kicking back on the couch, starting a nice fire, and throwing back a couple of good ol fashioned American Brew Ha Ha’s. I have your entire Saturday already planned out for you, so kick back and enjoy….

(20) UNLV @ (24) Louisville – 12:00 Ricky P has put together yet another big time squad, and this will be the first test to see just how good the team really is…

(11) Pitt @ (11) Tennessee – 3:15 - This should be a great game…. I’m loving what Pitt has to offer this year….

Indiana @ (17) Kentucky – 5:15 - I know this game isn’t what it once was, but it’s still not a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

3.       Down goes Urban, Down goes Urban…..

I’ll be honest; I’m not a big Urban Meyer fan. I think he is a little over the top, and seems to be a bit of an ass all the time. But I can’t really blame the guy for stepping down. Let’s face it, the pressure at a school like Florida is outrageous. The pressure of winning is often times tougher than when you are losing. Just look at last season for example, the Gators went 10-1, and Florida fans were disappointed. Add in the fact that both of his most recent Coordinators left to take over as head coaches at other schools. If you are a coach like Bob Stoops, Nick Saban, Les Miles, or Jim Tressel, why would you take the job? Yea it pays well, and you get some serious recruits from Florida, but is it worth all the pressure? I think not….Good luck to the next fool who heads that way…. BY THE WAY… MY GUESS FOR NEXT COACH…. MARK RICHT… YEA I SAID IT.

---Things that have pissed me off this week:

1.       D-Bag who doesn’t wait in line to get off ramp, but cuts in front of you instead….

Let me tell you something, there is nothing worse than waiting in line to get off the interstate, and some D-Bag cuts a car off way up in front of you. I love when a person tries to cut in front of me in line; I make it my goal try and be the biggest ass possible. I really like to ask the person if they would like to get in front of me, and then when they say yes, purposely block them from cutting in line. If you live in Atl, you know what I’m talking about.

2.       A Player who commits a foul then throws his arms up like “What I Do?”

I love when a guy commits an obvious penalty, such as pass interference, and then throws his arms up at the ref. after the flag is thrown. Chances are pretty good you know you committed a foul. Stop your bitching and complaining, man up, and play the next play.

---Youtube Clips of the week:

·         The first clip this week comes courtesy of JaVale McGee, who attempts to get his Jordan on…. Rule Number 1 when dunking from the free throw line: Make sure you actually can…

·         Not only is the best play of the year in my opinion, but this might be the best defensive play I have ever seen…..

---Shout-Outs for the Weekend

·         Cecil Newton- Way to at least be man enough to not attend the Heisman Trophy presentation. You’ve already tainted your son’s stellar college career, the least you can do is let him celebrate the biggest night of his life without you stealing the spotlight….

·         New York Knicks- You guys resemble an actual NBA basketball team. Lead by MVP candidate Amare Stoudemire, the Knicks are starting to look like the Knicks of old….

·         The White Man in the NFL Ain’t just the Kicker…. – Don’t look now, but the white football player is back, and I’m not talking about just playing O-Line.  Watching the Colts game last night, I was reminded that guys like Blair White, Danny Woodhead, Wes Welker, Jordan Shipley, Toby Gerhart Riley Cooper, and Peyton Hillis. Defense is just as nasty, with Tom Nelson, Jim Leonard, AJ Hawk, Clay Mathews, and Brian Cushing

·          Joe Johnson’s Elbow…. Joe has been out 6 games, and the Hawks are 5-1. Shocker. Hey Joe, make sure that thing heels well my friend, you may need to lay off of it a few months or so….

·         BG- I’m just going to say I am extremely tired today, and have you to thank. Hope the NY is fun, and I better be getting something bad ass when you get back.

·         Matt Watts- Appreciate your input on the blog, even though I purposely try and disagree with you just to piss you off….

·         The 30 for 30 Series- I actually haven’t seen one yet that isn’t good. Even when I feel like I’m not going to be interested, I still get hooked. Here are my top 5 you need to check out….

1.       THE U- The racial and cultural evolution of Miami during the 1980s as represented within the University of Miami football team.

2.       Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks- The impact of Reggie Miller on the New York Knicks in the 1990s, specifically focusing on the 1995 NBA Playoffs and Miller's interaction with Knicks fan Spike Lee.

3.       Run Ricky Run-A profile of Ricky Williams focuses on his brief 2004 departure from the NFL, when he sought self-redemption amidst media criticism and fresh rumors of marijuana use.

4.       The Birth of Big Air- The life of Mat Hoffman and his 25 year career of advancing BMX riding, both creatively and promotionally.

5.       The Best that Never Was- The 1981 recruiting of high school football player Marcus Dupree by multiple big-time college programs, his resulting career, and how his recruitment changed the recruiting process

As always, it’s been a pleasure. Leave a comment if you disagree with anything I got to say, and I’ll prove to you why you are wrong….. Check in again Monday Suckazzzzz.

Friday Free For All…..Volume 7.0

Friday Free For All…..Volume 7.0

By: J Shannon

It’s Friday People, the Friday before the SEC Championship game…. That means this Friday Free for All is going to be jam packed so damn tight full of breakdown and analysis of the big game,  it’s going to make a Honda Civic crammed full of Mexicans look like a H2 Limo…..Here it is boys and girls, THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP Edition of the FRIDAY MORNING FREE FOR ALL……

----THE NUMBER ONE THING I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND:

1.       South Carolina vs. Auburn-

Let’s be honest, is there anything else going on this weekend other than the SEC Championship game? Not as far as I’m concerned. This game has a little bit of everything: The underdog, the potential national champion, the off field controversy, the freshmen sensation, and the old Veteran Coach. Does South Carolina have a chance to upset Auburn? Most people would say no, but then again, most of those same people had Alabama and Florida playing this weekend, so what the hell do they know? Here are, in my opinion, the key match ups to watch this weekend…..

·         Stephen Garcia vs. the Auburn Pass Defense- In the first meeting between the two teams, Stephen Garcia picked apart the Auburn defense the first three quarters of the game. Auburn's pass defense showed last week against Alabama that they don’t mind giving up over 350 yards of passing offense. Garcia has to be on point, and accurate. Garcia has to take what is given to him, and not make the decisions he did in years past.

·         Cam Newton vs. the USC Front 7- I would say Auburn’s offense vs. the front 7, but Cam Newton is the offense. The good news for South Carolina: Their defense has seen Cam before, and held him somewhat in check in game 1. The bad news: Cam has only gotten better since the last meeting. In order to have a chance to win the game, I think South Carolina has to make Cam Newton throw over the top of the front 7.

·         Turnover Football- Take away turnovers in the first game, who knows what would have happened. Turnovers are always important, but I feel like this game they will be the ultimate factor. IF SOUTH CAROLINA DOES NOT TURN THE BALL OVER THIS GAME, THEY WILL BE THE SEC CHAMPIONS.

SOUTH CAROLINA WINS IF……

ü  Alshon Jeffery has an enormous day. He lit up Auburn last game for 8 catches, 190 yards, and 2 touchdowns. He will need to do the same again.

ü  They stick to the game plan. Even if Lattimore isn’t breaking off big chunks of yardage, you can not abandon the run game. You have to keep going to back to the run, in order to keep Jeffery free.

ü  They force turnovers. The Defense has to play by far the best game of the season. I don’t think you can sit back and wait on Cam to make a move. I think Ellis Johnson has to dial up some confusing looks and blitz packages.

ü  They play Turnover Free Football. Against Florida, I said USC could make 1 turnover or less. Well that was because Florida’s offense sucks worse than a Dyson Vacuum. Auburn’s Offense is nasty. USC CAN NOT TURN THE BALL OVER AT ALL.

ü  The Ol Ball Coach returns to form. Spurrier has to put together the best game plan of his career. I think the fact that he has played this game numerous times is a huge advantage for South Carolina.

Final Predictions

At the end of the day, it comes down to Stephen Garcia. If he doesn’t turn the ball over, and has a big game, I think South Carolina has its first SEC Championship. South Carolina jumps out early in this game, and Auburn makes a hell of a run in the second half. But the magical comeback luck has run out for Auburn, and they miss the field goal for the tie at the end of regulation.

                                                FINAL SCORE-   AUBURN- 28   SOUTH CAROLINA -31

-----Number 1 Thing that Pissed me OFF this Week…..

1.       The NCAA Rules Committee…

Look, I’m not hating on Cam Newton or Auburn. Auburn has handled this situation exactly the way an athletic department should handle a situation of this magnitude. And I think Cam Newton should win the Heisman for being the best football player in the country. The part that pisses me off is how bad the NCAA dropped the Ball on this matter. It comes down to one thing: MONEY. The NCAA is so afraid of the possibility of TCU playing for the National Championship, that they didn’t take the time to think out their statement before they made their final ruling. Essentially, they said that Cam Newton’s father broke the same rules that Reggie Bush’s father broke. Both Mr. Bush and Mr. Newton solicited money from a school in order for their son to play. What no one understands is this:

        --The outcome for the Bush situation: 30 lost scholarships for USC, 2 years probation.

        --The outcome for the Newton Situation: Eligible. Nothing else.

Like I said, I’m not hating, I’m glad he is playing. I WANT CAM TO PLAY. If South Carolina pulls off an upset, I would want them to pull it off against the strongest Auburn team, so there are no what ifs….

So why is he eligible? It’s really simple. In the words of Diddy, “It’s all about the Benjamin’s Baby.” TCU has 8,865 total students enrolled at its university. Auburn has 24,602. The National Championship is in Arizona this year. What are your best chances to fill an entire stadium for a National Championship? Make sure the team with the most followers and fan support has the best opportunity to make the trip. And as far as TV Ratings go, who would you rather see play: Cam Newton and Auburn vs. Oregon or TCU vs. Oregon. Now you are starting to get it……

-----Youtube Clip of the Week…..

---This week marks the annual Jimmy V memorial week. Jimmy V was a legendary coach, who to this day has raised millions of dollars for cancer research. Here is his legendary speech from the Espy Awards, weeks before he died. It is a must watch, and one of the most inspirational speeches in history. Enjoy.

     

-----Shout-Outs for the Weekend…..

·         The Pool Hall- Shout Out to the Pool Hall for supporting the Gamecocks, and hosting Patrick Davis this weekend. It should be an incredible weekend. ….
