Bobby Petrino-Meet Nick Saban

Welcome back and thanks for reading (apparently we're on the 1 post a month cycle).

I've never been more appauled at an athletic department than I am at the Arkansas Razorbacks. You call a press conference at 11:30pm at night to announce your new coach. Your media members hoot and hollar at the new coaches every word. And you cap it off by bringing up your cheerleaders to lead the new coach and the media members in a "Pig Suey" call.

Welcome to Fayetteville, Arkansas-home of the pompous Razerback fans, boosters, athletic department, and now coach.

Did anyone really think Bobby Petrino would work out in Atlanta? Does anyone believe any college coach will ever work out again?

But, back to Mr. Petrino. Here is a guy who coaches his team on national television one night, and then jets off to be the head coach of a college team the next. Apparently, Arthur Blank had no idea his coach was leaving after endorsing him on Monday Night Football. Classy Bobby, really classy.

This is the man that his players publicly stated they disliked. He said Byron Leftwich was his QB even after Joey Harrington won two straight games. He cut DT Grady Jackson with no explaination. And he attempted to bully his players into his philsophy. And, as of last night he was still trying to get his team to buy into his philsophy...as he was already booking his flight out of town.

But, I guess DeAngelo Hall summed it up best when he stated in an interview on ESPN after watching his coach accept another job, "Its obvious he was using us as a stepping stone to another job. But thats okay, they already have a bunch of problems. They ain't even that good"

So, when is that Alabama/Arkansas game next year?

We're Back...With Breaking News

(Yea...I still hate Boston...but we're back)

"LLLoyd" Carr Is out as coach of the Michigan Wolverines, so says MGoBlog. According to their sources, Carr will announce his retirement sometime after the conclusion of this weekend's game. I checked out a few random Michigan fan forums and the consensus there seems to be that this was decided before the year ever even started. What a way to go out LLLoyd.

Now speculation will start about who will be the next Wolverine coach. Early candidates: LSU's Les Miles (a UM alum), Navy's Paul Johnson, and even Bill Cowher. Our bet, Miles is smart enough to turn down the gig and Michigan ends up staying in house by hiring defensive coordinator Ron English.

Somewhere in suburban Columbus Jim Tressel is shedding a tear...now he might actually have to outsmart a coach in the last game of the year.

Screw You Boston

We're taking a hiatus for a while to recover. See you when we see you.

Note to Boston fans, congrats to the biggest bunch of whiny aholes I've ever met. You are terrible fans and your team is full of guys who are even worse than you.

Don't celebrate too hard, your payroll is about tripple the size of the Indians, you should win every year dumbasses.

Josh Beckett is "Classy"

Josh Beckett may be the best post season pitcher ever. But, he's arrogant, cocky, and overall just not a very good person. The man needs put a filter on himself. F bombs in the middle of a presser isn't the way to go.

BTW, his ex singing the National Anthem....classic

Wedge Blew This Game-Kind Of

Top of the 7th innings, your ace has given you a workmen's like effort. Six innings pitched, 2 runs, stranding a ton of base runners. He's had over 100 pitchers, so you pull him right? Not Wedgie. And that my friends was the end of the game.

So how could it have been different? Well, CC is done after 6. Raffy righty pitches your 7th and 8th innings-giving up most likely zero runs. Then, you still have a 2-1 deficit. Its a different mindset with a one run deficit as opposed to a five or 6 run deficit. Who knows if they could have pushed one across. But, its a chance I would have taken.

Granted, I understand Wedgie's reasoning. He didn't want to push Raffy too much again with possibly 2 big back to back games coming up. I still don't like seeing Sabathia left in there though. Go to Mastny or someone like that then if you must. But CC was gassed. Oh, and as for Raffy Perez...why did they bring him in the 8th? Easy, it was a 3 run BoSox lead and Perez needed to get some work/confidence back. I get that. He was a dumb mistake (on his part) away from getting out of that inning.

Don't get me wrong. Wedge has been great this year and in the playoffs. You can't be mad at the guy, everyone makes mistakes. Its easy for me, the fan, to sit here and say why didn't you do (blank). I just saw CC staying in as a rather huge, evident mistake that could have been avoided, and could have changed the face of that ballgame.

One to Go with an Ace in the Hole

Thursday night all eyes will be on this man as he looks to pitch the Indians to their first World Series in 10 long years. Odds are good that he can get it done. What are the chances that CC would pitch 3 straight bad games? You're talking about a guy who was good for 7 solid innings every night during the year. The man's going to be the Indians first Cy Young winner since Gaylord Perry! CC should get the job done. If the Indians bats get enough done off of Beckett and co, it could be a night to remember(remember he was pulled from game 1 with a tight back).

Somewhere above Casey Coleman is looking down and smiling on all of us....

LeBron Shows His True Colors

How about that? Courtesy of the AP, this photo of LeBron James in a Tribe hat. True to his word, he said that if the Yankees were out of it, he would root for the Indians.
