In about a week, I'll take a little vacation. And then I'll return to work and regular life refreshed, relaxed...you know, I'll act like I've been there before.
Corch Slurban Meyers on the other hand is like a fish outta water coming back from his vacay. And while some argue that he needs more time with his feet propped up, I would contend that this is just his normal method of operating. It's not easy running college football's largest organized crime ring, pretending to be a family man, controlling his own hypertension and maintaining the world's worst crew cut.
It takes a jackhole to call some timeouts.
It might even be fair to say that within 15 seconds of his (internal) alarm clock going off, he's already flipped a quarter to see if he's a real prick for the day or just a plain asshole. One day he's retired. The next, just taking a brief sabbatical. One day he's ripping a journalist for doing his job, the next he's apologizing for being the biggest d-bag on video since a man turned forty. One day he's proclaiming Timmy Tebow to be the best pair of hands in the Phillipines, the next he's dodging phone calls from his former QB.
He's the head corch of the F U gators ladies and gents. Whaddya expect?
Today's Ingredients
- Mike weighs in on the latest chapter of Slurban's saga. He too is getting about what he expected from the reptile leader. But Slurban's reptilian minions are giving the corch a standing O.
- Meanwhile, Coach Richt simply led his team onto the field for their first internal skirmish of the spring. Here's Fletcher's notes from Saturday's scrimmage. If you haven't already started over-analyzing the raw stats...get on board! You're way behind.
- As sharp as Murray and Mett were, the big winner appears to be Wooten the Ankle Breaker: six catches for 146 yards, 1 TD.
- PWD brought us a couple of posts Saturday on hoops recruiting: Sherrard Brantley and Donte Williams. Williams evidently left Athens very impressed (h/t Daugman).
- Exhile is looking to cross an item off of his bucket list.
- Not a great weekend for UGA Athletics, but the Diamond Dawgs definitely take the cake for their 8th inning face plant in Starkville Sunday afternoon. After winning Saturday's contest, it looked like they might actually take the series, up 10-2 when starter Palazonne left the game in the 7th. Then...Ugh....
- The Lady Dawgs got bounced from the tournament by Stanford Saturday night. Still, if Landers can fill the holes left by Angel Robinson and Ashley Houts this season could be a springboard to something special.
- And the lowest of the low...the GymDogs lost in the SEC meet to floriDuh.
- But in better news, Bauerle's team swam to a preseason goal, the men's tennis team remained perfect in SEC play and the softball team took the series with KenYucky.
- If I'm agreeing with Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe, the world may shortly implode. It's been nice knowing ya. More on this later, should the apocalypse allow it.
- Lastly, that sound you hear is prime-time terrorists running amok within the borders of your television set. Get it together!
Yup...Jack's no longer back. So we'll have to find someone else to cover ours.
I'll admit I was a little late jumping onboard the 24 action drama. Once I did I found the best way to watch it was using the DVD box sets. I didn't have to wait a week for my pulse to come down to a normal rate of speed before feeding the frenzy all over again.
But something's been wrong the last couple seasons. I even stopped watching the current season altogether; a hotshot blawgger has to make concessions you know. That new chick agent just rubbed me the wrong way. Too much melodrama for a show that used to tie annoying people to chairs and stuff a grenade in their mouth. Or simply just blow crap up.
Surely all 24 viewers can agree that Jack just needs a vacation too. Let's just hope he doesn't lip the same coin that Slurban's been using. For you Reader, enjoy this plateful.
One forkful at a time please.
Bernie

I'm still paranoid that this whole thing was cooked up between the writer, Crier(The Poser) and the AD to take the focus off Crier's not preparing Timmy for an after-FU life and change his image to the I-love-my-players-like-a-son for recruiting purposes.
Speaking of recruiting, today MSN has a nice article by Bowers about 8 quintessential college towns/environments. Athens heads the list. Now if our recruitables just read widely....
No other SEC schools are mentioned.
