Shout Out Sunday

2013-05-19T14:32:14Z

I want to recognize a couple of folks who are our friends and have it going on…

First up is Honor Wines. Words that epitomize a soldier. Honor wine is a tribute to the young men and women who have served our country proudly. A portion of the proceeds will be given to families that have lost a loved one in military action or been severely injured.

And the 2nd best part… the wine is amazing. Full body reds, big powerful fruit flavors. Really good stuff.

To check them out go here -> http://honorwinery.com/

Second up is FantasyGolfTour.com.

Launched in late 2012, FantasyGolfTour.com gives users a unique fantasy golf experience not presently offered anywhere else. FantasyGolfTour.com currently offers fantasy golf contests with free and paid entry formats for single round, multi round and full golf tournaments. They follow the PGA and you can play in each tourney. Big time fun, with big time cash prizes. Go here -> http://www.fantasygolftour.com/Fantasy/About.aspx

Both are solid as a rock, friends of ours and y’all should check both out. Especially if you’re a golfer, and if you’re a golfer that drinks wine, #winning.

ACC Network

1) Is it just a matter of time?

2) Will it be stand alone or with a major network?

3) Will it work?

Miami’s Offense

2013-05-17T13:22:16Z

Carlos Pineda recently had a chance to chat with Miami QB Stephen Morris to get his thoughts on last year’s performance and look forward to 2013.

Could Miami have the best offense in the ACC in 2013?

Here are some interesting facts and tidbits about the last time that a school outside of the SEC won the national title. Certainly puts some perspective on the SEC’s dominance.

Maryland wins maybe 2 games in 2014, LOL good riddance. I’ve been a huge pro conference swap guy in the past that has since cooled down due to the addition of Louisville to the ACC….but Maryland is just retarded, they made the worst move ever.

Holy cow that is alot of money…

2013-05-16T16:31:06Z

Everyone is so concerned with what Nick Saban makes…they are gonna have to shake all the change out of the state of Alabama to compete with Duke. Holy Crap!

Glad its finally being said

2013-05-15T21:28:20Z

Us message board folks have been saying it. Glad to see actual coaches saying what we are. First Stoops out in Oklahoma and now Dabo.

“All I know is I’ve been in this league 11 years now,” he said. “We have to produce those few dominant teams. If you look at the SEC, they’ve had a heck of a run, but there have been only a few of those dominant teams.

“You thought we were getting to play 14 [SEC] teams,” Swinney said. “We were playing LSU—not S-E-C—L-S-U. But the perception from y’all [print media] and the TV people is we were playing the SEC. It took a month for me to convince my guys we weren’t playing the SEC.”

SEC is like one of those big douchebag bodybuilders….everything up top. Anything below the waist is as thin as #2 pencils.

Don’t let USCjr’s position near the Gluteus maximus fool you…they represent the anus on this diagram.

FSU’s and 5* LB Matthew Thomas

2013-05-15T20:03:42Z

The kid signed with FSU because he was pressured by him mom now he wants to change his mind. ESPN said he was considering USC (real one) and UGA. Personally I side with FSU. Don’t let him go make him sit a year to transfer. Otherwise kids everywhere could “change their mind” and ruin recruiting seasons for teams. Also it would mean recruiting season, even for signed players, is NEVER over. If it comes down to releasing him I would certainly try to block any ACC or SEC teams from getting him. I also wouldn’t be surprised if mamma cracks the whip and he goes to FSU like he said. I’m assuming FSU is betting he will do the same.
