I don't think you understand how subscription fees work for cable networks. You do pay for those channels, indirectly. That's what your cable bill is.

Nice.

NC has good barbecue, but it's all vinegar based. As a native of the fine state of Tennessee, I'm required by law to prefer our state's over that of NC, but it's still pretty solid. If you're an actual big fan though, make sure you hit up Memphis at some point in your life. Not Rendezvous, it's over rated and a…

If you just can't wait any longer, go replay Barkley being pissed about Chizik being hired over Gill. Same thing.

From the news that has filtered out, it seems to be a combination of both. I could conveibably understand #1, but #2 makes no sense to me at all. IT'S A GOOD HIRE! He has strong recruiting ties to the Southwest and West Coast, and has done well at Hawaii and SMU. What exactly was the negative reaction from the…

I assume this is about the terrible decision to rescind the offer to June Jones? Because I still don't get that.

Going by the logic in this article, if any team ever is unanimously #1, we should just stop the season because every coach thinks they can't be beaten.

but we do jump at any opportunity to point out instances in which Nick Saban might have behaved like a dick

Exactly, how do you do this write up and not acknowledge that? Plus, it seems pretty arbitrary to list the Top 4 teams instead of listing the Top 5, a much more round number. Almost as if listing the 5th place team would go against an on going theme of this site.

How do you kill that which has no life?

That does sound smart. I'm on the consulting/compliance side for a specific part of the tax code, so I'll be working with clients once I get a couple of years in. One of the things a family friend recommended was a note sheet exactly like you're talking about, as well as a document detailing the main projects that…

That second to last one is going to be the hardest. Going to have to be going through some reprogramming this Christmas on my computer usage.

I hand in my MA thesis tomorrow. Congratulations man, it's a great feeling isn't it.

Hell on Wheels, new show on AMC. Not as good as some of their other stuff, but a very solid show so far.

Luckily I'll be moving to a place where I don't know anyone, so I wasn't going to have much of one to begin with anyways.

I was at the Capital One Bowl last year, and was unaware there were still MSU fans upset about not getting a BCS bid.

My First Real Job DUAN!

I don't think the Saban thing at #4 is a big deal. Oklahoma State was behind Stanford the Harris, Coaches and AP last week, there's no requirement to simply jump them over an inactive Stanford team because they beat an Oklahoma team that turned out to not be as good as predicted going into the season. Obviously most…

You're probably already in bed so I suppose you'll see this in the morning, but you will not regret heading to the game, win or lose. I made it to the Sugar Bowl and National Championship in 2008 and 2009, and had a great time at both. Nothing like going to a big time Bowl Game.

At the risk of sounding like a huge defender, that is a very Saban quote. He has always ripped on any media member who asks hypothetical questions or asked about "well if this was different....". I know it sounds like he's just out protecting his squad and trying to avoid controversy, but it's in line with…
