Lazy blogging...

I'm on a weekly news cycle right now, which needs to improve, I know.

What's new this week:

It's official, the State-South Carolina game has been moved to Thursday, August 31 on ESPN. The game will open the college football season and if the opener is anything like last year's college kick-off at South Carolina, Starkville can expect the Game Day crew to be in town and can expect a concert by whoever is singing this year's ESPN College Football theme song. Should be a good party. And hopefully Spurrier will continue his losing streak at Scott Field.

Jamont Gordon earns SEC Freshman of the Week honors. What more can you say about his play? He's been outstanding. And speaking of outstanding, it's very nice to see Rhodes develop into one of the SEC's better post players mid-way through his second season.

Other interesting news...

The Jimmy Bass saga may be the straw that breaks Templeton's back. At least we hope it is. If history is any indicator of future outcomes, then Templeton will still be holding his post this time next year. I suppose our only hope is for the new president to ask for his resignation.

And you should check out Ian Rapoport's new blog on the Clarion-Ledger site. It's good reading.
