This is where we normally handle our business. But our business got busy today.
We will have to update the Rushmores around lunch. Sorry. We all have deadlines.
Here’s Paschall on UT wrapping its internal investigation into the NCAA violations (i.e. cash in the Mickey D’s bags) and concluding not to issue a self bowl ban. Cool. I’d likely dragged my feet a little longer and waited until Monday, that way if you go stub your toe in a pick ’em game in Lexington, and the best bowl options were Memphis or Birmingham, then you take your Happy Meal and roll. But either way.
(Also of note: No es bueno is the news out of Athens that Adam Anderson, one of the dozens of defensive ducks for Kirby’s crew, has been suspended during investigations and allegations that he raped a girl.)
Vote on the title match in the 5-at-10 Bracket Challenge. You know the drill. And if the final four of the best college football stadium atmosphere is UT vs. UGA and Michigan vs. LSU, what is the biggest snub off that list? I would like to say either of the SEC schools in the state of Alabama has a case. So does The Swamp, although my one experience was unbelievably great and I was unbelievably lucky I didn’t either a) get into a fight, or b) go to jail. Thoughts?
