Rumors swirling........

Hearing Sweater Vest is on the way out at OSU.

Just a couple of things

 

Going into the Final Four Weekend I wanted to touch on a couple of things. 

1. Coach Calipari has never been directly linked to any illegal activities.  I think I look for reasons to hate this guy because he just looks like a sleeze bag…  But the more I read about the bastard the more I hear things about the good shit he does.  I still believe he is dirty but when it comes down to it.. how dirty?  Did he get somebody to help a brother out on a SAT?  or did he get World Wide Wes to cut their parents a check for thousands of dollars.  With the percentage of his kids that do not even go with WWW’s agency and when John Wall signed a HUGE deal with Reebok instead of Nike… well, i guess it got me to thinking.  My buddy DR (you have seen him on here) told me after reading a well written article in SI a couple of weeks ago that I would think differently of Caps.  I read it with an open mind and to be very honest I had already started thinking a little different about him…  Bottom Line is this, the bastard can coach and UK is who I like on that side.
2. Butler’s Coach Brad Stevens is the best young coach in College Basketball.   I can’t get enough of him.  But he does look like the kid that got picked on in High School doesn’t he?  Actually he looks like he could still get picked on.  Prediction:  When Coach K steps down at Duke – The Blue Devils will go in a different direction than a Coach K disciple and hire Brad Stevens.

Camel Toe Tuesday

Masters picks. Someone not named Tiger or Phil.

OK guys, with the Masters a little over a week away I want to see some picks. I know half of you jack dicks will automatically say Tiger or Phil, but let's try something different. Give me 2 golfers not named Tiger or Phil that you think have a great chance to win and give me 1 older past champion that you think has a chance to be in the hunt. Do your research and bring it.

Brian Gregory

Tech has it’s man… and it is Brian Gregory.  You know who he is right?  His teams have made the NIT back to back years.  He has made the big dance twice in his career…  He just built a power house at Dayton for Christ Sake – how do you not know who this man is by now? 

Let’s give it to the G. T. though – they shot for the stars when they offered Chris Mooney the job but he obviously felt that the Richmond Spider program was a better choice for him so he signed an extension there.  And this came after Buzz turned them down to stay at Marquette.

I thought Georgia Tech was a premiere job but obviously I was wrong.  I am not saying that this guy isn’t going to be a good coach (see my Chizik prediction) I just thought Tech was a place that would make a splash when they annouced the new Coach.  Hell, I think Mark Fox has a better resume’ than this guy. 

The dude is unconscious. Can he run away with it?

I don't know who all follows golf that closely but have any of you ever seen Spencer Levin play? His swing looks like something you'd see at the local muni. I gotta say I like him. He doesn't give a shit. He just goes out and fires at pins. Can the greatest golfer ever (according to some on this board) make a run at him? I doubt it, although he is getting laid again; so watch out.

Any spring football udates from you guys??

My boys don't start until Monday. A lot of unanswered questions in the ATL this year. My team is very young across the board, but experienced in certain areas. I'm curious to see what is going on at Bama, UGA, 'Burn, and UT. So what's the word if any?

Sir Charles

I don’t know about you guys but I think the coverage of the Big Dance this year has been just GREAT!  I love being able to watch any game that I want too.  I love having Charles Barkley.  Here is a little back and forth between Sir Charles and Rick Pitino.

Camel Toe Tuesday

After the Super Bowl I thought nobody better to introduce Camel Toe Tuesday’s than Christina Aguilera. 

Happy Tuesday

Play her off

Bombed

Comedy Central likes to Roast celebrities and they do a pretty good job at it most of the time.  The reason for it being funny is the roasters more than roastee (not sure if that is a word but pretty sure it isn’t) – Well this Roast was going GREAT!!  Seth Mcfarland (family guy) was the roast master and he was bringing it.  Others, some I had never heard of, were all doing really good.  The show was funny as hell. 

Then the Situation got up… and instead of me telling you just how shitty this bastard was I’ll let you watch it and judge for yourself.

Ass of the Day

Friday

It’s Friday, It’s beautiful outside, We got March Madness, Damn It guys – could it get any better? 

I don’t think so.  I am pumped up guys.  I feel just like this guy. 

 

(old video but a classic)

‘Jury Still Out’

Mike Hamilton in an radio interview when asked about the status of Bruce Pearl’s status answered with, “The Jury is Still Out”…. 

A lot of noise is being made about this statement and when he said it.   A couple of days before the tourney isn’t best time to say your coach may get shit canned.. but anyone that didn’t know that Pearl’s job wasn’t up in the air is a stupid moron.  Even Pearl ‘knows that’ according to Hamilton.

Here is what this did for Hamilton.  If he would have just giving the typical polically correct answer then when Pearl lost then he could fire him and POSSIBLY save his own job – but not now.  Now when UT loses, especially if its today, then Hamilton will be at fault for placing a huge distraction at a horrible time. 

Bottom Line:  Hamilton will be fired and Fat Phil will be your next AD at the U of T.

Could this be the end for Sweater Vest?

I was watching morning drive on the golf channel this morning and they had a good point (which I agreed with) about Tressel self imposing his suspension to 5 games. They were basically saying he self imposed those 3 more games, because he knows the hammer is about to come down and thinks this will lessen the beating he might receive. Could tOSU fire Tressel? I hope they don't. I personally think he is an underachieving sumbitch. I can't imagine what someone with half a brain for offense could do with that talent up in Columbus. Anyway, your thoughts on the matter?

Nate Dogg

Pour out some liquor for my homies that aint here no more…  Rest in Peace Nate Dogg/

Nate Dogg is no longer with us.. but music that featured him will always be.  He never really hat a HUGE hit by himself but it always felt like a shit load of good songs had “feat. Nate Dogg” – his voice was smooth and lyrics were nice. 

I picked this song as a Tribute to Nate Dogg because of its timing.  This hit when I was pimping in the parking lot of HCHS in the blue Izusu pup with the KC lights rolling like real niggaz do it.  I had 1 8in sub woofer behind the seat and factory tweeters up front.. 

For Reese.

Naked or Fat?

Great Video

This guy is going to be an awesome coach.

This guy is going to be in high demand in a couple of years. I see one of the big boys coming after him after he takes WVU to their ceiling.

The best 2 football teams

I have already got a comment or two about this.

The Best Teams watching The Best Players. RTR/Go Cowboys.

By the way I do also pull for the Lakers, but not the Yankees (Go Braves).

Tressel

I want us to get into how we feel about this so to start with let me just put the facts out there.

Click HERE to read the emails from (name scratched out) to Sweater Vest. 

So it turns out that he knew about this months and months before it came out. 

His response..

And the ever so cool Gordon Gee’s response…

Questions after the Weekend

The SEC Conference Tourney:

1. Is Tennessee better than a 5 seed?  and/or Does Bruce Pearl get shit canned after this year?
2. How good is Vandy?  How far do they go in the conf. tourney?
3. Assuming Georgia beats Auburn – Does the winner of the Ga/Bama sure up a spot in the Dance?
4. IS Anthony Grant the SEC Coach of the year or is Billy in Gainesville?

ACC

1. Who wins the ACC Tourney?

BIG 10

1. Is the Big 10 the most Top Heavy major Conference?  Ohio State then…. Purdue?  Wisconsin?
2. Did anyone see Ohio St hit 14 for 15 3’s yesterday?

Big East

1. One of the things on my Bucket List (that’s something we need to look at doing – a Southern Fried bucket list.   The top 10 things to do before you die – we may want to get to work on this, I doubt some of us have very long) is to attend the Big East Conference Tourney at the Garden.  And this year I am really pumped about watching it to see who is for real in the Big East? 

Danny Sheridan picked the favorite for the National Championship game next year in College football would be Alabama vs. Oklahoma.   Something to chew on a little bit.  It’s not like Sheridan is some fool who throws out stupid shit to get attention.  His reputation is based on his odds.  

Leprechaun Sighting

Holy Shit!!  A Leprechaun has been sighted in Mobile Alabama! 

If you don’t believe me – Listen to what these people have to say.

If you want the “Best of” then let the video buffer and go to 27 seconds, 43 seconds and 58 seconds

BYU

Brigham Young University has suspended Brandon Davies for getting some ass. 

BYU has it’s best chance to compete for a National Title this year more than any other year that I can remember. 

Davies was the 3rd leading scorer and leading rebounder.  He is a HUGE part of this team and with out him it would almost be impossible for BYU to make a run in the Dance.

Couple of Questions I have.

1) Is it against the code to masturbate?

2) How would you feel as a student/fan of BYU about the decision to suspend him? 

3) How boring must campus life be there?

4) Did you know that coffee is also against the code?

I got to give it to BYU administration here.  I think they showed that there values are worth more to them than a possible championship and this act should be recognized as such. 

I applauded BYU and thank God that I am not a Mormon fan.   

Charlie Sheen

Just incase you only have access to Southern Fried and no other inter-net sites OR to any television – I thought I would put Charlie Sheen’s interview up so you would be able to see it.

Best of NFL

since we struggled a little bit on the previous question of Top 5 of any sport – lets see if its a little more fun to compare with in the same sport. 

Before we get into who is #1 and who is #5 – lets figure out who is top 5. 

 

Jerry Rice – I really don’t think that we will have anybody dispute that Rice should be on the list and probably be in the #1 spot.

 

Joe Montana – Remember we are talking since the 80’s and I’m not sure that we have had a QB like Joe since then.

Walter Payton – pretty much broke every RB record that mattered.

Barry Sanders – to me, Barry Sanders was the best RB to every play the game

Lawrence Taylor – I think LT had as big of impact on the way the game is played today as any single player in History.

Reggie White – The most dominate Defensive lineman that I remember

Ronnie Lott – Would lose money playing in the NFL today.  He would be fined more than he made.  Hardest hitting DB that I know of.  Ed Reed pales in comparison to this guy

Ray Lewis – I can’t think of another time that a LB won the super bowl.  All season long, Ray Lewis was, BY FAR! the Most Valuable Player on his super bowl winning Ravens.

does anyone have someone else that they feel deserves to be in the Top 5?  I have 8 here for the argument – who else belongs on the list before we dispute this. 

Did anyone watch this last night??

Also, what f'n drug is he on? He lives with a pin up model from high times mag (forgot her name as I'm mainly into porn) and porn star Bree Olsen. If you watched, what do you think? He looks terrible.

Honest question for Joe

How much money would you have to be guaranteed to go up to one of those black guys several posts down and pull off those shorts with your teeth from the front?

To Pacify Joe....

The top 5 greatest NASCAR drivers (last 30 years)?

1. Dale Earnhadt
2. Jimmie Johnson
3. Richard Petty
4. Jeff Gordon
5. Davey Allison

Some jack dick got my credit card number and was running the hell out of it.

Has anyone ever had someone get their credit card # and go ape shit with it??????

Greatest??

People these days are so quick to drop a “Greatest” on us but over the weekend I started thinking about who are the greatest athletes at their respected sports of the last 30 years or so.  Like 80’s on up.  I will throw out my top 5 to start and maybe some of yall can make some good enough points for me to change them up.

#1 Michael Jordan – My nephew asked me the difference in Kobe and Jordan and I thought about it for a while and said, “with Kobe, I watch to see if he will personally take over and win the game..  with Jordan, I waited for him to personally take over and win the game.” 

#2 Tiger Woods – Red shirt on Sunday, playing in the final group, and increasing his lead in another major... shit happened over and over to the point where if Tiger wasn’t contending then something was wrong.  I’m curious to see if he drops on this poll because of his recent slump.  Am I putting him at #2 because of what he has accomplished PLUS what I think he still will??? or do his current credentials deserve #2 spot?

#3 Jimmie Johnson – JJ has been a professional athlete for 6 years, this year being his 7th.  He finished 7th his rookie year and has won the Championship every other year.   He is the most under rated under talked about professional of any sport.  What he has accomplished is truly amazing.  it has never been done before and probably will never been done again.

#4 Roger Federer - #1 player in the world for 237 consecutive weeks..  He won Wimbledon 5 years in a row and picked up US Open’s 4 of those years.  He dominated the World of tennis.  The clay is the only thing that has him down to te 4 spot and actually he could get bumped.

#5 Mike Tyson – Call me crazy here (you damn sure can call him that) but Iron Mike Tyson completely fucked people up man.  Just remember when you would watch a heavy weight bout and it was for the title and he would be fighting the #1 contender and it would last 32 seconds.. 

Here is the starting 5 – who moves up? who moves down? who gets added?  and who gets taken away?
