The Saturday Hangover (12/1)

by Chachi
Yes, I know it's Sunday, but I got the idea a few days ago and I finally have enough stuff stuck in my head where I feel like getting something out before next weekend. Generally I am going to try and make it a point to have an article up every Saturday morning and I couldn't think of a better name then The Hangover. This will be a time where I may rant like a lunatic, try and do an interview or two, write a serious opinion, or whatever. Basically I'm trying to force myself back into writing a bit more regularly instead of just commenting and voting on stuff. Who knows what will happen. For this week, here are just some random thoughts.
It's Good to Be king
Reuters is reporting that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be the halftime entertainment for the Super Bowl on February 3 in Glendale, Arizona. No word yet, however, if he will dedicate "Free Fallin'" to the Dolphins or "Mary Jane's Last Dance" to Ricky Williams. Let us all collectively pray for no wardrobe malfunctions.
Coaching Carousel Gone Mad
Is it just me or have there been a ridiculous amount of coaches taking, being interviewed for, or being linked to jobs within their own conference. You have Kirk Ferentz linked to the Michigan job, Houston Nutt moving to Ole Miss, Spurrier supposedly up for the LSU job if Miles would have left and people talking about Tommy Tuberville being linked to the Arkansas (not Our-Kansas Les) job. I can't remember a time quite like this. It used to be that head coaches wouldn't even consider making a lateral move within their own conference.
Things That Disappoint Me About Sports
A brief list meant to be fun (childish, silly, odd, whatever) and a pseudo-tribute to Corey's things he hates. I'll do this more often as I think of things.
- The fact that Houston Nutt's first name doesn't begin with a P. His parents really dropped the ball here.
- That Coco Crisp and Milton Bradley didn't have a guy with another classic name playing the outfield with them in Cleveland. That would have easily gone down as the greatest combination of names EVER!
- That after all this time I still don't know what a freaking Hoosier is. And I know it's a person from Indiana, but what does it mean?
- College football teams denying their true identities (I'm looking at you Big 12). OU isn't OU, it's UO. It's the University of Oklahoma, not Oklahoma University. That also goes for you KU (University of Kansas) and MU (University of Missouri). Stop living a lie.
That's it for now, deal with it. I'll do better next week. And I'd just like to remind LSU that there is no cure for Lauranitis.
