Which SEC coach is the happiest “Likes” are now private on Twitter?
Mike,
It’s gotta be Hugh Freeze, right?
In almost every other social media question involving SEC coaches, the only plausible answer is Lane Kiffin.
But after his transgressions at Ole Miss, Freeze’s likes could very likely be not safe for work types of things.
Man, what a great question.
From Charles G
Jay, I saw this question online and really needed your opinion on it:
What is the most iconic duo in TV history?
Charles,
Man, you guys are bringing it this week, because I love this question, too.
Can we truly just limit it to one pair, though?
Because Batman and Robin have become synonymous with great duos across all genres.
But how many classic duos span generations of TV classics?
Fred and Barney. Laverne and Shirley. James T. Kirk and Spock. The Fonz and Richie. Lucy and Ethel or Lucy and Desi. Ted Lasso and Coach Beard. Starsky and Hutch. Jerry and George. Ralph and Ed from “The Honeymooners.” Bert and Ernie.
But if I gotta go with just one, my personal favorite is Andy and Barney.
From a slew of you
Are the Braves cooked?
Gang,
No, I don’t think the Braves are cooked per se.
They are still headed to the playoffs and when the -er months roll around, anything can happen.
The Braves’ bats will wake up at some point. They simply have to.
Now the Braves’ starting pitching is not as good as Philly’s or L.A.’s and that is the biggest hurdle come the postseason.
But the angst right now feels a bit like an overreaction currently, at least to me.
From Scott
Jay, I have watched more college baseball this year than ever. It’s great.
Will the Vols get it done in Omaha?
Scott,
UT has been awesome all season, and the Vols have been buoyed by a historic amount of power at the plate.
They are the 1 seed for a reason. (Although being the 1 seed has been kind of jinx over the past 25 years. Florida in ’99 was the last 1 seed to win it all.)
That said, the ballpark in Omaha is massive, and relying on homers can prove costly, especially when the wind is blowing in.
Kentucky’s ability to manufacture runs in a variety of ways will be a huge edge, but UT’s has been the best team in the best conference for most of the year.
Have a great weekend, friends.
