Here's an animated one.

If the weather is coming from the south, it looks bad.

Hot home opener favors the Vols! 

Great job again this year.

Another casualty of Willie Lyles? http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/collegesports/2016085512_grid02.html  (Scroll down)

I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today in order to prepare for the beginning of the college football season. And to play golf.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on. 

Connor Shaw will start and play the first quarter. Garcia will play the second quarter. Spurrier says that even if one of them throws two interceptions he will play the entire quarter.

I think Spurrier is just sending a message to Garcia although he says that it's because Shaw had the better stats in practice.

Spurrier is up to his tricks again with quarterbacks.

Well...we used to have an AD that "threw" a bowl game on purpose and left us to coach the crocs.......

LOL! I haven't heard anyone say that in a long time. An oldy but a goody. 

Saturday?  With my luck, it'll just be radio coverage.  GO VOLS!

I purchased ESPN Gameplan for the season. It's going to be on there.

That's the one I use. I just have to remember that the times shown are Central Time.

No, he's taking over from Pat for the LADY Vols.   Get it right.

Pearl taking over the LV's would be interesting.

Well, as someone here once said, and will probably say again.....WWFDT. 

The Cocks are pretty strong. If Garcia keeps his head and Lattimore and Jeffrey stay healthy, they're going to be pretty good.

Well dang. I should have know that. And you're right, it seems a bit stupid to put it on a personalized license plate by a Bama fan, even though his tears were shed in the UF/Bama game. Now if it was on the car of a FSU fan, I could understand it.

1. UT football

2. UT basketball, men and women.

3. University of South Carolina football

4. Atlanta Braves-I've been a fan since they moved to Atlanta in 1966

5. Indianapolis Colts-I've been fan of the Colts since the Johnny U. days in Baltimore.

6. ABC---Anyone but Clemson

It was on a Alabama license plate. The car had a "Roll Tide" sticker.

I can't figure it out.

And, I got a serious server error trying to post that. It took about 15 minutes. First time ever on my home computer.

[the first back-to-back wins over Clemson in school history.]

Wait a minute. Who's doing the fact checking up there?


Spurrier can tick off his accomplishments in Columbia without any cue cards: South Carolina's first-ever win in Knoxville, Tenn., the Gamecocks' first-ever win at Florida, their first SEC East title, their first win over a No. 1-ranked team (Alabama last season), the first back-to-back wins over Clemson in school history.

That last part didn't sound right, so I did the checking. I didn't go all the way back but Carolina beat the tiglets four in a row in 1951-1954, two in a row in 1964-1965 and three in a row in 1968-1970.

Maybe they meant to say that he beat them back to back for the first time but it says "in school history".

Droner, I know you like a lot of Viognier (sp.?) wine, so I thought of you today when I was at the local Earth Fare grocery... they have a wine rack section devoted to wines they label as "exotics" (aka unusual and wierd), and yep ... right smack dab in the middle of that rack was your beloved favorite!  It wasn't placed in any of the "serious" racks, nooooo, they just kicked it aside into the collection that contained stuff like Tasmanian Devil Red and the like (making that up, can't remember exactly what other wines were there, but most of them were truly weird).   Maybe it's just me, but I thought that looked funny to put it there.   

Vioginer isn't known by casual wine drinkers and some wine merchants don't know a whole lot about it either. To them, it's an exotic. It might have been a winery that didn't make much of it but I expect it was just the head of the department that didn't have a lot of knowledge about Viognier. Frequently when people ask me about a good white wine and I mention Viogner, they don't have any idea what I'm talking about. Although production has increased, most people have never heard of it.

Thanks for asking!

Jérôme Gueneau Sancerre Domaine des Grandes Perrières Le Clos Chartier (2009)($24.00)
Delicious Sancerre (French Sauvignon Blanc) from the Loire Region. Bright fruit, crisp and tart. A great white wine for a hot afternoon. Wine Spectator gives it 89 points and I agree. A very good wine.

It does look pretty cool. For someone else.

But how would it look on a big lineman with a 50 inch waist? How many players on any team have a waist that small?  According to that picture, his waist would fit in his helmet.   

I will be leaving the office at 12:30 today. Some inconsiderate client insisted on an 11:30 appointment. The nerve. He obviously has never read The Usual Friday Reminder.

Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Janzen apparently failed another drug test. Or several.

If it's weed, then he's an idiot. There is no reason in the world not to be able to stay away from pot. It's not an addiction like narcotics or meth, if it's even an addiction.  People can't stay away from weed because they don't want to and think they can get away with it.

After hearing the news yesterday about Pat, I can't muster a lot of emotion on this one.

Besides, it doesn't come as a big surprise.
