The target of much of the ire of LSU fans after the BCS Championship game, Jordan Jefferson, would like you all to know that he had no idea why the hell they were calling those plays either.  He went on to say that he felt like Alabama was the more prepared team and then shot all his credibility by talking about the possibility of promising NFL future.  I’ll also assume that Jefferson only agreed to the interview if he could call in from an undisclosed location so to keep Tiger fans off the trail.

Here to save your soul and the Ole Miss football program

In a showing of civility, the good fellas over at For Whom the Cowbell Tolls shook off those SBNation 503 Error messages and were nice enough to invite Rick Muscles and I onto their show on Bulldog Sports Radio to discuss tonight’s Egg Ball game in Starkville.  As these things sometimes do, it devolved into football talk, and then, more importantly, who between Hugh Freeze and Dan Mullen has more Jesus in them.  It was not only determined that Hugh Freeze would pummel Dan Mullen in a bible drill, but the conversation also produced a new nickname for the Ole Miss head coach…as you can see from the photo above, Freezus (FOTP copyright pending!) has risen, and he is here to save.

Listen to the program HERE.

Any opportunity to being back this graphic will not be squandered

It is a rite of passage for all SEC members, a bit of hazing, if you will, that any schools seeking membership into the conference must at one point endure.  Mizzou got the unpleasantness out of the way during the bowl season as it spent 3 days and 4 fabulous nights in the Shreveport-Bossier metro area for a rain-soaked Independence Bowl.  Texas A&M, certainly no stranger to the friendly confines that the Shreveport Pirates built, has stepped up to take their medicine as well, agreeing to play Louisiana Tech in the Indy Bowl next September.

The Kevin Sumlin Era will start with a neutral-site game in Shreveport, of all places, which simply underscores the difficulty of scheduling during conference realignment. A&M athletic director Bill Byrne has joked that he’s been turned down more times than a bed sheet. The bidding for some games has gone over $1 million. So in a bad situation, A&M had to compromise. “Our options were limited due to conference realignment,” Byrne wrote in his Wednesday on-line column. “We expect the scheduling process to go much smoother in the future.” The Aggies even talked to Florida State, Byrne said, before settling on Louisiana Tech, which is not a gimme. The Bulldogs (8-5) won seven straight games late in the season and pushed TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl before losing 31-24. Sonny Dykes is a coach on the rise with a solid returning quarterback in Colby Cameron. McNeese might be looking pretty good come Aug. 30.

I like that as the new city marketing campaign…Shreveport, the best available option.

With all the killing and meth lab bustin’ involved in his daily lufe, it was nice of Raylan Givens to pause and take notice of some of the finer things.

Pat Boone, awful toupee, but a nice recovery

Head on over to Rebel Sports Radio and have a listen to the latest thrilling adventure of Friends with Muscles as Rick Muscles and I attempt to have a serious debate of the pros and cons of having Sean Tuohy as the Ole Miss AD…fortunately that devolved into a discussion about hair pieces.  Standard fare for our show, really.

Also, be sure and check out Bulldog Sports Radio tomorrow, as Rick and I will be joining the guys from For Whom the Cowbell Tolls, to talk all things Ole Miss and State…and probably toupees. 

“See Mommy, I told you they were real!  This IS the Happiest Place on Earth!”

This mugsot, forever and ever, amen

Do you see that Nashville, what with your skinny jeans and pop-infused country thats too cool for the fucking room…that’s how a real country outlaw gets down with a public intox mugshot…just sneering into the the camera as if to say “Yeah, I got picked up for drinking outside a Baptist Church in Dallas at 1:30 in the morning on a Sunday, what of it!?”, impregnatin’ passers by, then writing a Grammy winning double album about the whole awesome ordeal.  That’s so gotdamn country….salutes all around to you drunk and sneering Randy Travis
