Great Decisions in Athletic Administration

I'm sure no one is regretting this decision in Lincoln.

Drought Update

Another week and the red "drought blob" has not changed. We are keeping our fingers crossed that our luck will change tonight! There is a very large system that is hitting Memphis as I type.

Auburn vs. Arkansas

This weekend's game between Arkansas and Auburn in Fayetteville could be the make or break game in Houston Nutt's career. With a loss the Hogs will fall to 0-3 in the SEC with Tennessee, South Carolina, and LSU still on the schedule. The Hog faithful are already howling for Nutt's job A loss Saturday could be the beginning of the end for Nutt.

The Girls, Amy, and I made a whirlwind trip to Arkansas yesterday. We left Columbia at 1:30 AM so I was able to sample some early morning sports talk radio on the way to Searcy. It didn't take long to for the Hog fans frustration to bleed over and dominate the Little Rock airwaves. Later in the day my friend Ries Lloyd told me about an incident that occurred the previous weekend during the Arkansas/Tennessee Chattanooga game. Apparently a plane circled the stadium over a dozen times with a banner that read "There's Nuttin like being 0-2 in the SEC."

Boom Goes the Dynomite!!!

We never did this at Harding

The one regret I have about my college education is the lack of anything resembling a D1 athletic program. Specificaly one that offered big-time D1 college football. Competeing against conference rivals whose nick-names are Muleriders, Boll Weevils, and Wonderboys does not qualify as big-time football. We never celebrated beating Arkansas Tech by lighting a bonfire in the middle of Race Street. I doubt their covering much academic content today in Palo Alto.

We Have Problems Here in Columbia, Tennessee

Middle Tennessee is currently 16 inches below our normal annual rainfall totals. A nasty dome of high pressure has been sitting on us since June. This has prevented us from getting any coldfronts, gulf moisture, or thundershowers. Since April 15th I can remember only two days of signifigant rainfall. It has not been a good summer for my lawn.

Scorched Earth (Anti-UT Day)

I'm dedicating a little time today to post every negative picture or video I can about the Texas Longhorns. Tomorrow is the big game and it has been over 1000 days since Oklahoma last beat Texas! I need that to end this weekend. Boomer Sooner, enjoy the Horn smack.

Last Week in College Football

Bummer in Boulder

Everything in Colorado was great this weekend except the football game and the fact that the TSA is now in possesion of my toothpaste and mousse. My Sooners took a commanding 24-7 lead over the Colorado Buffaloes early in the 2nd half. The Sooner offense took the rest of the game off making 3 turnovers and allowing Colorado to kick a game winning field goal on the last play of the game. Our poor defense was on the field for 82 plays compared to 46 for Colorado defense. Its pretty tough for me to generate much enthusiam for hating Texas right now. That should change later in the week, maybe by Wednesday. Frustrating game but a great weekend.

Aside from the game the CU Boulder campus has to be one of if not the most gorgeous campus in the United States. We spent two hours before the game just walking around the campus in the shadow of the Flatirons. On Sunday Amy and I drove up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. The aspen trees are turning gold and we got to see several large elk. I'm a huge fan of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Denver area. I'll have more about the TSA defending our country from tartar control toothpaste later in the week.
