Question from 'Bama

morri029 — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:58:44 -0000

Hey guys, I hope you don't mind me intruding on your blog with some questions. I am planning on coming to Lexington for the UA/UK Football game the first weekend in October. I'm planning to have been to all 12 SEC Stadiums within the next 4 years or so (and hopefully the host site of all the BCS games, but thats asking a bit much). Anyways, my wife is wanting to use this as a vacation, and I was wondering if there were any places to stay over towards the Daniel Boone Forest, i.e. a secluded cabin, but close enough where we could go into town for a nice bite to eat or whatever. And also any attractions that we need to see would be much appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time for all your help

MOULTON, Ala. (AP) — A weekend shooting critically injured a standout high school football player in Lawrence County who had just made a recruiting visit to the University of Tennessee.

Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said 17-year-old Demetrae Griffin, a junior at Speake High School, was shot in the chest and stomach around midnight Saturday when fighting broke out between two groups of young people at a party.

Griffin, who some witnesses said was trying to break up a fight, was listed in critical condition Monday at Huntsville Hospital.

"We're still taking statements, trying to piece together what happened," the sheriff told The Decatur Daily. "There was a party going on, and at some point, outside people came and things just got out of control."

Authorities said about 100 people were attending the party at the Caddo Senior Citizen Center. No charges were filed immediately.

A message left with a sheriff's investigator was not immediately returned Monday.

Speake High School football coach Royal Carpenter said Griffin, a defensive lineman, had made a junior recruiting visit to Tennessee on Saturday and is being recruited by other Southeastern Conference schools.

"He's a good kid who has come millions of miles," Carpenter said.

One annoying thing that you will find is that you must post at least 75 words to get a fan post.... You'll get alot of filler... But to avoid that I bring you the wikipedia "Lyrical Themes" of the 7th Floor Crew

The song, whose lyrics are set against the beat and chorus from Aaliyah's "If Your Girl Only Knew", has been met with many of the stereotypical criticisms of gangsta rap music. The lyrics describe various sex acts, such as group sex, oral sex and sexual boasts by each of the group's male members, told through a narrative that is littered with sexual profanity. ESPN initially reported the lyrics to also be racist [4], but with closer scrutiny of the lyrics as well as the racial makeup of the performers showed this not to be the case.

The song was purportedly recorded privately and intended initially to be shared only among the group's University of Miami and other friends. But it received major notoriety when Miamity.com, run by University of Miami student Kyle Munzenrieder, revealed that the group included players from the University of Miami football team who had created the song under pseudonyms[5].

Former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Sinorice Moss, who was drafted by the New York Giants in the 2006 NFL Draft, verified in an ESPN.com chat that the song was created by members of the team, though he was not among them. Moss stated, "That's something that they did like two years ago. A couple of the freshmen and older guys made a rap song. It was a really cool song".[6]

Just saw it while poking around Youtube. Its short, and about the intergration. Great use of 5 minutes. I was going to make this a fan shot so I wouldn't have to waste my time to get this to 75 words, but it just did not work out for me. So I decided to keep typing until I get to 75 words. Just about random things... Like how Todd has an unreal obsession with Snow, How OTS is a like a elder that we all go sit around for information....

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama Gymnastics team leapt four places to No. 5 in the national rankings this week on the strength of its highest team score of the season, a 197.025 against Denver last Friday.

The Crimson Tide, ninth the last two weeks, boasts a season average of 196.265. Utah and UCLA are first and second again this week with Georgia at No. 3. Stanford is less than a tenth ahead of Alabama at No. 4. Auburn is sixth this week, followed by Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida and Oregon State. LSU and Nebraska round out the top-12.

Junior Ricki Lebegern is ranked 12th in the all-around after posting a season-high score of 39.425 against Denver.

Boring days at work

morri029 — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:25:48 -0000

So to break the monotony of boring days at work I thought I'd do a kinda mid-week Random 10, except you use Pandora(free internet radio) and tell the station, and go back and link the last 10 songs you heard... If the idea sucks, just tell me to go back to my hole, but for now it keeps me busy until 5....

Down with Kiffikins and ROT Lance Thompson

morri029 — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:22:56 -0000

Fans who attended Tennessee's recruiting celebration early Thursday morning didn't need coffee. New UT coach Lane Kiffin and his staff provided plenty of stimulation.
Kiffin took shots at defending national champion Florida and Alabama, recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron talked about winning a national championship, and assistant coach Lance Thompson vowed that UT would "own Memphis" in recruiting.
It was that kind of morning. And the sellout crowd of almost 1,000 fans at the Knoxville Convention Center ate it up.
Their loudest applause came when Kiffin called out Florida coach Urban Meyer on an NCAA recruiting violation in the recruitment of Nu'Keese Richardson, a wide receiver from Pahoke, Fla., who committed to Florida but signed with UT.
"I'm going to turn Florida in right now in front of you," Kiffin told the crowd. "Nu'Keese was here on campus (on his recruiting visit) and his phone kept ringing.
"One of our coaches said, 'Nu'Keese, who's that?' He said, 'Urban Meyer.'
"Just so you know, when a recruit is on another campus, you can't call him. I love the fact that Urban had to cheat and still didn't get him."
Kiffin also targeted longtime rival Alabama, which was No. 1 in the country this past season before losing to Florida in the SEC championship game.
"Nick Saban (Alabama's coach) should have started his press conference (Wednesday) by saying, 'Our great class that we signed ... I'd really like to thank Lance (Thompson) because Lance signed eight of those guys.' "
Thompson was an assistant coach and star recruiter for Saban before joining Kiffin's new staff at UT. And he's about as shy as his head coach.
"He ain't getting any more of my (recruits)," Thompson said of Saban.
Thompson also compared UT's recruiting in Memphis to Alabama's recruiting in Mobile, Ala., before he arrived.
"Everybody said, 'Auburn beats us in Mobile,' " Thompson said. "Y'all beat us anymore, Eddie (referring to former Auburn assistant coach Eddie Gran, who's now on Kiffin's staff).
"Y'all say the same thing about Memphis in Tennessee. We're going to own Memphis."
Kiffin and his assistants made it clear they don't take the recruiting services' evaluations of players as gospel. That set up Thompson for another Alabama shot.
"Just for your information, Utah had no five-stars (recruits), and they kicked the lining out of our tails," said Thompson in reference to Alabama's loss to Utah in the Sugar Bowl.
The recruiting celebration didn't end as the fans filed out of the Convention Center. In fact, it was just getting started.
Kiffin and his staff were scheduled to address UT fans in Nashville and Memphis later Thursday.

Dog Day at the Park

morri029 — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:25:24 -0000

Hey guys, on the lighter side of things, I just got a new lab pup, named after the Man, the Myth, the Legend, Chipper.... Anyways, I was thinking that we always did something like a dog day in the park during the summer each year.... Does anyone know when it may be? What are the regulations? Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks!

So to get to 75 words, I'll put my solution to Frenchy's problem.... He should just not even take a bat to the plate. Pitchers haven't thrown him a strike in 2 years anyways, he'll walk ever AB for the first two months before they figure it out.....
