As my mind is being ever more completely consumed with college football, the SEC Bias has increasingly been on the minds of non-Southern Americans. CoachingSearch.com posted this list on Twitter today, and it's hilariously awesome. 11 of the 14 SEC teams are represented in the top 25 teams with the most arrests in the last 5 years. Maybe even more impressive is that the SEC has 9 teams in the top 15. Then ESPN and the College Football Playoff Committee put out this promo video which I thought was pretty innocuous at first.
Somebody did a breakdown of the commercial:
29 schools represented in total
14 of 14 SEC schools (otherwise known as 100%)
5 of 14 Big 10 schools (Still no rebranding)
3 of 10 Big 12 schools (Still no rebranding)
3 of 12 PAC12 schools
2 of 14 ACC schools
Notre Dame & Boise State
I think it's going to get super chippy and snarky against ESPN this year, and it's only a matter of time before Rece Davis snaps just like Fowler.
Nobody has the ability to make me laugh like Trump. These tweets are absolutely hilarious. I read over the weekend that the 1st GOP primary debate had over 24 million viewers. The highest rated debate in 2012 was 6.3 million viewers. That's flat out insane. When he runs 3rd party and splits votes with the GOP candidate, Hillary will win easily. Somehow this inconvenient truth hasn't made watching Trump any less entertaining.
When I saw these highlights yesterday, I was shocked by the stark difference in running styles. Running backs dancing around in the backfield is one of my biggest pet peeves on offense, but you don't have to worry about that with Jarryd Hayne. His rugby steps actually look strange on a football field because he isn't trying to cut or make you miss. His telling you, "Good luck tackling me at full speed." I've been begging for football to embrace laterals over the years, basically ever since that crazy 2007 Fiesta Bowl between Boise State - Oklahoma. Everyone remembers the statue of liberty play to win the game, but no one remembers the hook and ladder Boise St. pulled off on 4th & 18 in order to get to overtime. I am well aware that limiting turnovers is the name of the game in the NFL, but if Jarryd Hayne/49ers can design a few sweeps with a wide receiver trailing him wide by the sideline, we would all be better off. Here's to hoping Jarryd Hayne can bring the lateral out of retirement.
Every year I post the helmet schedule above my desk. I like being able to see who has a tough game before they play us. Last year was frustrating since all of USC's opponents either had a bye or 10 days to prepare. This year it looks like Oregon will be beat up from the Stanford game a week prior, and UCLA will be on the road for a physical game at Utah before the season finale at the Coliseum.
I stumbled across Kristin Angst (on the left above) when I was creeping on Charlotte McKinney, and it just so happens that she is former FSU tight end Nick O'Leary's girlfriend. The same Nick O'Leary commentators would never let you forget is Jack Nicklaus' grandson. For all of the internet love Red Lightning gets dumped on him, Nick O'Leary is pretty much flying under the radar with this bombshell. Kristin Angst is making me feel like a teenager again not only because of her last name.
