Tony Barbee

Barbee is Auburn’s new basketball coach.  He was a GA under Calipari at UMASS and then Caps went and tried the pros out.  When Caps got the job at Memphis he hired Barbee as an asst. and he stayed with him for 6 years.  Barbee was with Caps when they landed Marcus Camby who ended up being the reason for Caps first run in with the NCAA.  Caps next run in was with Dereck Rose and Barbee was also with Caps during this.  If something smells like shit, and taste like shit, then its probably shit.  Culpepper said that he didn’t think UTEP would hire someone that would be a risky hire and that argument just went to crap when they hired Tim Floyd who is the guy that with OJ Mayo is getting USC in trouble.  One of Barbee’s Utep players is turning pro this year, early, and this is what he said.. “I never thought that I would be in college. Especially being in college this long.”  Perfect example of the type of players that Auburn can expect to get. 

I take a lot of heat from Bamars about Auburn being my second team and probably rightfully so.  I was really hoping that Auburn would get the right guy here but I don’t think that Jay Jacobs did his job.  Auburn is a football school just like USC.  And I think its kind of funny that Tim Floyd did follow in Barbee’s steps taking the UTEP job because I have a feeling that Barbee is going to follow in Floyds steps by getting Auburn on probation.  

The Real March Madness

Ok guys the official "March Madness" has begun (2010 chick braket). Go to joxfm.com (or click HERE and you will go to it)to play a long, every vote counts. Also I would like to hear who everyone thinks will take home this years Championship. Happy Voting.

Wednesday’s quick bits

Dont have much time today but here is a couple of quick things that are on my mind…

If the basketball Tourney can expand to 96 teams when absolutely no one is in the world is complaining about the format now, then what makes you think that college football would stay at 8 teams for long.  Anytime you say I want a college football playoff, i want you to say that you want a 32 team playoff, cause thats where it will end up.  And if you can say that, then we just aint on the same page.  (kinda like - I’m smart and your a retard)

Vivid Entertainment is producing a video with Mindy McCready in a sex tape.  If you dont remember, this is the chick that Roger Clemons was banging and according to Vivid, Mindy will be talking about other celebrities she has banged.  What a classy lady.  I said she was a slut when i first heard her.  ( And check out her bulge)

How in the hell did Kate not get knocked off Dancing with the Stars last night?  DAMN IT!!!  Pam Anderson is in the bottom two??? I will be very upset if i have to watch that box of a body Kate instead of my old high school sock girlfriend Pam Anderson.

Lee was the best on American Idol last night by far.  I still like my girl Crystal to win but she needs to go back to the guitar and hippie look.   she can not pull off the dress and high heels.  she looked like a Christian mission model.  I also thought that Casey did pretty good last night.

GOD i cant wait for some sports.  These are becoming the gayest posts and The blog is going to hell in a hand basket.  Baseball season starts Sunday and I pumped – I plan on being you source for Braves news. 

More Tuesday stuff

Check Pete Rose out.  Guy is pushing 70 and is hooking up with Kiana Kim (who would have guessed her last name was kim?)  Anyway, she is gong to be in April’s Playboy.  I’d have to say that Pete has done pretty good for himself.  And Kiana Rose just sounds like a better name.  

Tuesdays notes

Kate (from jon and kate plus 8 minus jon) was on dancing with the stars last night and holy shit i dont think she could have done any worse.  It was really bad.  I had fallen asleep watching Fox news telling me that we will be a communist country if we dont vote republicans in when traci came in and showed me her dance (thank god for dvr – yes we dvr dancing with the stars) and i started giggling but then it got awkward.  during the crowd shots you could see on people’s faces the look of pain.  When Bruno spoke about the song (it was the elton john song that bruno made his debut as a fag dancer) i think he took it personal.  I have to say that i was happy that Kate made a complete ass out of herself.  I hate her.  I hate the way she used her 8 half china kids to make millions and drove her husband away then made millions on the fact that she had been cheated on.  Maybe if she hadn’t been such a bitch jon wouldn't have gone banging that college girl.

Ricky Martin is a petter puffer.  He is out of the closet and saying “HE bangs, He bangs!”  (thats wasnt even close to funny, i’m sorry)  Ricky is out of the closet and gay.  He says on his blog that he is a “fortunate homosexual man.”   uhhhh, ok man.  Fortunate?  dude, we knew you were gay back in the day and now you are irrelevant so we don't care.  so go smoke on the pole. 

Stay tuned because I got some other stuff i need to talk about

Autism and Basketball

Update on the story of the kid that had the perfect bracket.  It was true.  It was perfect.  The Butler Bulldogs was his first loss and he also had Purdue winning.  So his bracket is still great, and he still has autism, but he does not have a perfect bracket – anymore.  CBS.sports is where he filled his bracket out, and they allow you to change your bracket once the tourney starts (which is bullshit), but his family insists that he didn’t.  I watched an interview with the kid and he said, “I like to watch basketball.”  So it appears to me that the kid is telling the truth.  Hermann also said. "I'm good at math. I'm kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game.”  Well which is it Alex, are you good at math or kind of good at math? 

But I have to say, this kid aint got shit on J-Mac.  You may remember him as, “Hotter than a pisthal” – Roll the tape. 

Take that bracket boy. 

Jessie James

Just in case you hadn’t heard, Jesse James had a affair with a lady named Michelle “Bombshell.”     So I thought I would inform you guys of who it is that Ol’ Jessie James has been hooking up with.  She classifies herself as a “evil cunt” and I think that pretty much sums it up.  Any woman that calls herself that I’m really not sure if we need to discuss her political affiliation.  I do know that she wants to legalize marijuana, and probably several other things.  She has a paid website and it only became a paid website very recently, like this past Tuesday.  So obviously she is going to try and make a little bit of money on this deal.  I’m sorry to say, but I did not join this website, even though it was only $9.95 -but it did have some good “teasers” to try and get you to join.  Other than what she calls herself, EC, she also seems very angry in some of her quotes.  I’m really not sure how someone can go from Sandra Bullock to Bombshell, but a better question is why the hell would you want to?  I mean don’t get wrong here, the Bombshell is sexy as hell but Sandra Bullock just seems a little bit cleaner.  And maybe, just maybe, Sandra has had a few less sex partners than  her counter part.  I’m not suggesting that the bombshell is a slut, but I will go with my gut here and guess that she may have had just a few more partners.  So why did Jessie go with the freak? Or am I off base here?  Do you guys think I’m crazy for picking Sandra over the Bombshell?  Give me your thoughts?   

You tell me this picture of Sandra in the chair is not the sexiest picture up here? And she is wearing blue jeans and a long sleeve shirt…  I mean really, I would rather look at this picture than the one with freak show topless. 

Disclaimer:  I have no problem at all with women getting tattoos and I do think that the freak has nicer breast. 

Everyone is chasing that “American Dream”

Although a sworn enemy of the four horseman one of my Idols growing up and one of if not the most entertaining men of all time. So everybody speak up, when you were growing up who’s side where you on The 4 Horsemen or the American Dream’s?

4 Horse Men

One of the the most knowledgeable people in world, in regards to the 4 Horse Men, is a fellow by the name of Michael Gunn.  I got the opportunity to meet Mr. Gunn once and was blown away by his knowledge of the Horse Men.  He could carry on a conversation between Flair and Rhodes portraying both better than Heath Ledger did the joker in Batman.  Mr. Gunn spoke of Flair and told stories in first person and I believe he could have been with Flair personally threw out the glory days of the Horse Men.  I am trying to track Mr. Gunn down and maybe, just maybe, he could bless us as a guest author on Southern Fried and share some of his in depth knowledge of what could be one of the powerful and influential group of men since the Beatles.

It is rumored that Mr. Gunn is the lone nephew of James J. “J.J.” Dillon, the former manager of the Horsemen and if you get the opportunity to speak with Mr. Gunn you can hear “J.J.” in his voice.  

Reese is working on a piece right now in regards to the Horse Men and in Reese’s intelligent opinion, if Jesus, Karl Marx, Muhammad, and Buddha got in the ring with the Horsemen then the Horse Men would have won and changed religious views world wide.  I look forward to reading his piece. 

Oh yea baby

New Look

I switched the look up a little bit.  If I got tried of seeing that picture of me, even though it was of the biggest red snapper any reader has ever seen, then I know you guys did.  Hope yall like the chose of the 4 Horsemen.  They could be the greatest group of men in the world. 

The Cuse just went down to Butler and this tourney just keeps on getting crazy.  I cant remember right off hand but I don’t think that I have ever had a worse bracket.  Spoke with a friend tonight and he said that some kid still has a perfect bracket going into tonight’s games.  I’m not sure if I believe it but I’m looking into it.  What made the story  even better is the kid is autistic.  Said he could do a rubics cube in like 7 turns.  I dont know, seems far fetched but the kid has Purdue winning it all.  Maybe I will find this story and it will have a picture of him. 

Got a new laptop and it has a cool “blogger tool” where it makes it really easy to do post.  So look forward to seeing more and more post.  The kola bear was one of the pictures that was already on the computer and I wanted to try out the picture upload part so I picked it…  Cute little booger, dont you think?

Richt visits V Tech

Coach Richt visited Virgina's strength staff last thursday and friday to get ideas for improvement. This is confirmation that Richt's offer to Bud Foster was a way to get the guy a raise. Are you going to tell me that after a coach tried to steal a long time assistant of a program then 3 months later that same program would welcome that staff to their facilities and give them ways to improve? I dont have a problem with Richt getting him a raise, it just kinda pissed me off when the media was making it out that the Dawgs kept getting turned down time and time again. i believe that Kirby was the only person that turned us down and i do believe that it was a tough decision for him and i dont blame him for making the decision that he did.

Hump Day

Just Great! Now W Va point guard's is out for the tourney... Which is perfect for me since i got them in my final four. maybe this year i could get all me F4 teams knocked out. That would be fun...

Joe Biden thought that the Health Care bill was a "big fucking deal"

Looks like St Johns is a more appealing job than Ga Tech... That has to hurt.

Idol sucked balls last night. Their is only one person on that show and thats my girls Crystal. She rocked it out to "me and bobby mcgee"

"US and Canadian consumer watchdogs announced the recall along with Infantino of two infant carriers, the SlingRider and Wendy Bellissimo." They also said that the slings were deadly. I dont like anything that a parent needs to carry a baby that has to look cool. your a parent now, whether you like it or not, you are no longer cool so stop with it. carry your baby, stroll your baby, or lay the baby down and let the little bastard cry...

i'll try and hook up some more stuff later.

Brackets Busted

I am going to vent. I am going to rationalize why my bracket is busted. I want to warn you that if your bracket is still looking good then you may want to stop reading right now. This is bullshit! I guarantee that every jack ass that is bragging this morning about how good his bracket is, then he did watch a entire basketball game this year and needs to be punched in the face. This year’s bracket is luck, nothing else.

Ok, Now that I’m off my soap box, what a hell of a weekend of basketball. This is why we love March Madness. Watching teams that you have never heard of, never seen, never even saw a high light reel on sports center – take down some of the best teams in the nation.

East
I said before the Tourney started that Kentucky would be the first 1 seed to go down. I gave the reasons why and now I’m starting to think that this team just might be dumb enough to win it all this year. They don’t care. They are just going out and straight up ballin out. Cornell’s white boys will have their hands full. The good thing for them is they probably want be able to understand what Cousins and Wall are saying to them. Washington has the talent, they were pre-season in the Top 25 for a reason but they will be facing a stingy W Va team so in the East its looking like a 1,2 elite 8 match up.

South
I still like the Dukies chance to make it but they have a tough Purdue team. This game wouldn’t surprise me either way but you have to lean towards Duke. Baylor and St Marys I have Baylor in my bracket so St Marys is Cod Lock. St Marys is the double digit seed that I think could make it to the next round.

West
I’m starting to, maybe, believe in Kansas State some but Xavier aint no joke. Pitt played a hell of game last night and Xavier just wouldn’t lose. They are not the kind of team you want to play so I’m really looking forward to this game. The winner will face who ever comes out of the Butler/Cuse game and I believe whole heartedly that Butler is good enough to win. I have Cuse in my bracket so go w/ Butler.

MidWest
Is Tennessee good enough to beat Ohio State? If they are then they would have Mich St/N Iowa next to get to the Final 4. I did pick Mich St to go this far but I had them losing to Kansas. In the future I plan on picking Izzo to the final 4 no matter what.

Day 3

Favorite
St Mary’s vs Nova – Nova is sitting @ a 5 ½ pt favorite – St Mary’s showed that they can ball and Nova has not played good at all down the stretch. Going into overtime as a 2 seed in the first round with everyone watching is probably why this line isn’t a little higher. I think Nova covers

Favorite
Ohio Tennessee with UT -8 ½ - Ohio just won the National Title in their minds. They upset a George Town team that couldn’t hit a barn with a shot gun but lets not forget that Ohio was a 9 seed in their conference tourney and had to win it to get in… After UT got a scare from San Diego St I think the Vols pull away here.

Dog
Old Dominion and Baylor – Baylor is a 4 ½ pt favorite but I think ODU is experienced enough and good enough to play with them. I have a lot of respect for Baylor and the Big 12 but think ODU takes them down to the wire and covers the number

Dog
Wake Forest Kentucky – UK -9 playing a Wake team that is coming in from an ACC conference that didn’t get much respect this year but obviously the ACC is a little better than advertised. Wake keeps it close enough to cover the 9

Favorite
BYU Kansas St – Kansas st is a 4 ½ pt favorite and BYU has some kids that can ball. I don’t think that BYU has played a team that is as physical as Kansas ST and I think they get into foul trouble trying to match State and get into foul trouble. The Mormons are not near as deep as State and that’s why State covers the number

Dog
Northern Iowa vs Kansas with Kansas as a 11 ½ pt favorite. Kansas, in my mind, is the best team in this tourney. They are the deepest team in this tourney. They are the most experienced team in this tourney BUT this N Iowa team can shoot 3’s and they will not give up. I can easily see NI down by 20 with 3 minutes to go and come back and make this a single digit game. Get the points here.

Favorite
Murray State Butler – Toss up but im leaning towards Butler

Dog
Washington New Mexico – I like NM but Washington has a lot more talent than they have shown this year and they may just be peaking at the right time. I still think that New Mexico wins but when you have an 11 seed as a favorite over 3 seed then it screams Trap Game! So stay away.

Day 2

WOW!!! what a day of basketball yesterday.

A lot of close games today according to Vegas.. here are the ones that will end up being close and the ones that will not be

12:25
Xavier Minnesota - 6/11 seed where the 6 seed is a DOG!! For real people. Zavier, sorry, I mean Xavier is a lot better than a exhausted Golpher team that had to make a run in the Big 10 to get in the Tourney. Take Xavier here and win Big

12:30
Temple Cornell - A lot people are taking the 12 seed ivy league school here, don’t do it. Temple should have been a 4 seed (maybe a 3) and a ivy league school hasn’t won a Tourney game since the mid 90's. Lay the 4 and take the Chalk.

2:30
Siena Purdue - Purdue is a 4 seed that isn’t the same team that is getting a 4 seed. This is the game where the 13 seed should actually be the favorite. Take Siena and get the 4 points but you dont need them. If the money line is attractive enough then jump on it or you can take the points for insurance

2:35
Clemson Mizzo - 7/10 tight match up here. this is a flip a coin type game. Coach Oliver does not have a good tourney resume' and Mizzo is coming out of good Big 12 this year... Its up to you on this one. Is Clemson getting a 7 because of the ACC which is down? Or are they better. Vegas has Clemson at -1 1/2 and I got Mizzo in my bracket but i tell you, this is going to be a tight game

4:45
Texas A&M Utah St - another good 5/12 match up where the 12 is getting a little to much respect. A&M is really really good. They bash Utah St in this game and are only laying 3 1/2. COD LOCK!!

7:10
Gonzaga Florida State - 8/9 match ups are historically good games and this one will be also. I got FSU in my bracket but will not be surprised at who ever wins this game. Vegas has FSU -1 1/2

7:15
Oklahoma State Ga Tech - I think GT is one of the most talented teams in America this year but I have no faith in their coach. I watched several games this year where I thought that I could have done a better job coaching, yea really. Any way, OSU is a 1 1/2 pt favorite. I have OSU in my bracket, but again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see GT go on beat Ohio St or get killed against OSU. (If OSU wins this game then they will play OSU the next game. OSU vs. OSU)

9:45
California Louy - Cal is a 1 1/2 pt favorite and it all depends on which Louy team shows up. I got Louy in my bracket but wouldn’t bet on this game.

Proof

Here is PROOF that UGA fans are a bunch of Animals

Day 1

AT 12:25
Old Dominion will upset Notre Dame in the 11/6 seed match to get this Tourney off to a great start. ODU will send the Irish packing. The 11/6 will be the previous years 12/5 match up. I got half the 6 seeds going down in the first round and I have zero 5 seeds losing.

AT 2:50
Richmond will pull away late against St Marys in the 10/7 seed match up. This line is Richmond -2 ½ so Vegas thinks this game will be very close but I see Richmond puling away late. Take the favorite in this one and watch the 7 seed move on.

AT 4:45
BUTLER will have their hands full with UTEP in the 12/5 match up but as I said earlier, all 5 seeds will move on. So take Butler and lay the 2 ½ points.

AT 7:20
MARQUETTE is only a 1 ½ pt favorite over a Washington team that shouldn’t even be playing in this tourney. The A-10 is a better basketball conference than the Pac-10 this year and you get a Big East school, a good Big East School, playing a Washington team that might not have even been invited to the NIT and you get them at basically a pick em… take Marquette and take them big. THIS IS A COD LOCK!!!!

AT 9:45
My 2nd 11/6 upset. Tennessee vs. San Diego State – SDS is the worst free throw shooting team in the Nation and Bruce Pearl will take advantage of this but with Vegas only giving SDS 3 ½ obviously they see an upset potential here also.

American Idol

Idol is not that good this year. And I will admit it, I am a pretty big Idol fan. I know the names, I have my favorites, I enjoy Simon’s comments, but this years talent isn’t that good. First let me preface this with I have absolutely no musical abilities. I only go by what sounds good to me and these people don’t sound very good and since we are fixin to be over taken with basketball I thought I would take a little sports break and give you my American Idol break down.

After they narrowed it down to 12 I lost several people that I thought would make it to the top 12 but here are the remaining ones that I like…
1-Crystal Bowersox (white girl, dreadlocks, and nasty teeth) – this girl can really sing. She looks like someone you would see after a Georgia game playing on the street corner but if they spent like 15 – 20 grand a this girl they could make her look good enough. If she wins I will feel a lot better about Idol picking the best singer based on vocals not looks.
2-Lee Dewyze (Paint Store guy) – he doesn’t blow you away but he is someone that seems like would have a good album not just a good single. Reminds of me of kinda counting crows. You remember that yellow cd of theirs with “round here”? every song on that album was good. I think lee is kind of the same way. Maybe not someone that will have a HUGE hit but someone that will put out a decent album.
3-Didi Benami (Hot chick) this chick has the looks and the voice. She is sexy as hell and has one of those sweet little innocent voices that you don’t really like listening to for an extended period of time but the whole time you are listening you can hear her saying things to you and all of a sudden you have no clue what she is singing because all your hearing are the things your making up of what she is saying to you…. I think she has a good shot.
4-Andrew Garcia (Mexican with tattoo on his neck) –This Mexican has a good voice but he just hasn’t blown me away. His looks don’t go with his voice. I think he tries to hard by singing stupid shit and trying to make it his own. I see this guy as a real good open mic night host
5-Casey James (goober that thinks he is cool) another decent voice. DECENT !! that what this show is full of. He is kind of cute (I hope I didn’t just say that out loud) when his hair is down but American Idol should be about who sings the best not who is the cutest. That’s why Casey sits in 5th place in my book. He needs to show out or go home.

Anyone other than these 5 people make it to the final 3 then i will never watch Idol again.

Ok, I just read this article after I was finished and had no clue how gay I am. I am going to post it anyway because I am secure enough in my sexuality to be able to write something like this… GFY!

Funny thought. I was thinking about the time that Starrett and I were talking about his personal issues at Elliot’s house after everyone had gone to bed and out of no where someone (initials MK) gets up and goes over to the corner and starts pissing. Starrett and I ask him what he is doing and then he stops, goes into the bathroom and pisses all over the shower curtain – comes out and goes right back to bed. Good times. Good times.

Joe your picks suck
