Love the 1:53 mark. "It was only "no name team" but....." So true. How did opening week get so lame?

And, again, how are Cali and Stanford on the Atlantic Coast, again?

Fewtbawl grewed up and became insane unfettered capitalism. Thanks NIL NCAA cave etc.

So surprised. Next we'll be seeing "Pri-ME" on those commercials every 90 seconds.... Oh, wait...

But I think the most stunned folks in the country are Bammer folks. Their entire life has been upended. Next to LSU, I guess.

Schedule a "practice game" on the first weekend, by bribing a patsy school with money and airplay. Eliminate the time out to move the chains, and then extend the other breaks to appease advertisers. Big revenue potential is seriously F'ing-up NCAA Football.

OK if we suggest changes for football rules?
1. Leave same players in game for offense-defense. Add a couple substitutions.
2. Make all players eligible to pass and receive.
3. Let any player attempt a 3 point goal kick at any time.
4. Redesign helmets and shoulder pads to be less weaponized.

Thank you, 1:21 for saying what we all want to say.

Good, not great.

In fairness, they didn’t have much to work with.

Playing lower tier teams on opening day is not new. Been happening for years.

Upset the business model based only on monetary profit and eliminating competitors screws up sports but you want to turn everything else into a business?
You notice that the NCAA intended to make the "playing field" better eliminated rivalries that had elevated the game and created fans but can't see eliminating competition happens much the same way?
And, still you claim to be capitalists and still don't "get" that "rules" are supposed to make the playing field as level and fair and accessible to the best product to the most users?
Naw..
Once upon a time, there were men who chose working because it was worthwhile and lasting and created a life that mattered. This even occurred in ancient times. This kind of work was called a profession. That they improved their profession and made their communities better mattered. Now though some still long to have this kind of work, they are forced to work in an environment that prioritized money. Indeed, even their small individual offices and charitable buildings disappeared completely. Those who remembered them and knew that worked well began to die off and their children didn't believe them. Some of the old people who remained got angry that everything seemed harder but couldn't figure out how this happened or how life got inexplicable so complicated at the most basic levels. They missed all the small rule changes that allowed the big changes and wanted someone to blame.
So, now, money and men who seek power have changed even sports once considered "amateur" or "for children". In time, rather than a "blue moon" we can see flashing billboards on the moon and maybe then, too late see money is truly the "root of all evil".

@ 6:58 AM - No one said it was new, but it is much more widespread and accepted -- maybe even expected, because it also pads the win column.

GA, AL, Ole Miss, MS State, TX A&M, TX, all played practice teams. Whereas, LSU, So Carolina, and FL, got slapped by a "wake-up" game the first week.

Is it just me, or did anyone else hear "Ride of the Valkyries" while reading @ 9:51 AM?

10:06, I had visions of Eric Stratton addressing the Faber Student Judiciary Council

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
