SEC COACHES CONT.

**** TODAY WE WILL LOOK AT THE SEC WEST ;

ALABAMA - NICK SABAN
  AKA NICK SATAN OR NASTY NICKIE, PUTS TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON ASST. COACHES. VERY HARD TO WORK FOR .

 GREAT JOB COACHING ON THE FIELD PARTICULARITY ON DEFENSE . HE COULD BE THE BEST COACH IN AMERICA WINNING 2 OF THE LAST 3 CHAMPIONSHIPS.

ARKANSAS   - JOHN L. SMITH
    IS ARKANSAS LUCKY TO HAVE JOHN L. OR IS JOHN L.LUCKY TO HAVE A JOB ? BOBBY P. HAD THE HOGS READY FOR A RUN AT THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE HE MIXED BLONDS &MOTORCYCLES .

SMITH IS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF THE ONE BACK SPREAD OFFENSE & WAS BOBBY'S MENTOR . WHEN UNDER PRESSURE JOHN L. HAS DONE SOME ODD THINGS , HE WILL BE UNDER GREAT PRESSURE WITH THE HOGS . NO TITLE - BLAME JOHN L.

AUBURN - GENE CHIZIK
   IS CHIZEK ONLY GOOD AS CAM NEWTON ? THAT IS A SILLY QUESTION . ALL COACHES ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THEIR PLAYERS . NO ONE CAN TAKE AVERAGE PLAYERS & WIN REALLY BIG . THAT IS WHY IT IS ALL ABOUT RECRUITING .

   CHIZIK NEEDS TO WIN 8 PLUS WITH SOMEONE OTHER THAN CAM AT QB.

LSU - LES MILES
     NO COACH IS MORE APTLY NAMED THAN LES MILES . HE GETS LESS MILES OUT OF HIS TALENT THAN ANY COACH IN THE SEC .

 LSU HAS SO MANY PLAYERS THAT OLE LES CAN'T PREVENT THEM FROM WINNING 9 OR 10 .

LES IS LIVING PROOF THAT ONE CAN GO THROUGH LIFE TOTALLY CLUELESS & STILL BE SUCCESSFUL .

MISSISSIPPI STATE - DAN MULLEN
     ONE OF THE MOST EGOISTICAL  COACHES IN THE CONFERENCE . RIGHT UP THERE WITH SPURRIER & SABAN .

   HE HAS WON TWO STRAIGHT BOWLS AT MSU . & CREATED A BUZZ AROUND THE CAMPUS . I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDN'T GET THE FLORIDA JOB & HE DOESN'T EITHER .

  BIG YEAR FOR MULLEN AS HE TRIES TO WIN WITH A QB INTENSIVE OFFENSE WITHOUT A GREAT QB . DANNY SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO THROW MORE . WILL STATE TURN BACK INTO PUMPKINS ?

OLE MISS - HUGH FREEZE

     THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A COACH THAT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF EVENTS THAN HUGH FREEZE . HIS RISE FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO THE SEC IS REMARKABLE .

 THIS MAY BE THE FIRST STOP WHERE FREEZE DOESN'T HAVE THE BETTER PLAYERS . HE IS A MASTER SALESMAN WHO NEEDS TO RECRUIT,RECRUIT,RECRUIT !!!!

 HAS HUGH TALKED HIMSELF IN TOO BIG A JOB ? WE WILL SEE .

THANK YOU FOR READING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A LOT GOING ON

**** I KNOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THE SEC WEST COACHES BUT LET'S SAVE THAT FOR LATER . THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON . THE NBA PLAYOFFS , COLLEGE WORLD SERIES , THE RETURN OF TIGER , & MLB . ALSO CONTROVERSY IN THE WORLD OF BOXING .

**** NBA PLAYOFFS  - I AM FOR THE THUNDER BUT I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE WHO HATES THE HEAT . THE HEAT HAS THE HEAVY BURDEN OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS TO OVERCOME .

 THE THUNDER WON THEIR LAST 2 SERIES BECAUSE THEY WERE YOUNGER , FATHER TIME BEAT THE LAKERS & THE SPURS . OK - CITY WILL NOT HAVE THAT CARD AGAINST MIAMI .

 IT SHOULD BE A GREAT MATCH - UP WITH FOUR OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD , JAMES, WADE, WESTBROOKS ,& DURANT. MY HEART SAYS THUNDER BUT MY HEAD SAYS HEAT .

**** TIGER WON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HIS PERSONAL LIFE FELL  APART . NO, IT WAS NOT A MAJOR BUT HE HAS A MAJOR COMING UP THIS WEEK . IS WOODS REALLY BACK ? WE WILL HAVE SOME ANSWERS AFTER THE OPEN .

 TIGER IS VERY GOOD FOR GOLF . WHENEVER HE PLAYS TV RATINGS ARE UP & SPONSORS SPEND MORE MONEY . THE TIGER MAN PUTS MONEY IN EVERYONE'S POCKET.

**** BRADLEY VS PACIQUNO   WAS WITNESSED BY A LARGE CROWD , SIX OF WHOM THOUGHT BRADLEY WON THE FIGHT . TWO OF THOSE SIX HAPPENED TO BE RINGSIDE JUDGES SO WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION.

 THERE WAS SHOCK & DISMAY WHEN THE DECISION WAS ANNOUNCED . MOST ALL THOUGHT MANNY WON THE FIGHT BY A LARGE MARGIN.
BRADLEY'S MANAGER HAD MANNY WINNING BY 4 POINTS . BUT THE DUDES THAT COUNT SAID OTHERWISE .

 BOXING HAS MORE PROBLEMS THAN THEY CAN DEAL WITH & THIS ADDS TO THE LOAD . THE TWO BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN BOXING TODAY ARE MIS-MATCHED FIGHTS & UNEXPLAINABLE DECISIONS .

 MAKING MATCHES TO FILL TV TIME IS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED .MOST BOXING MATCHES ON THE PRO LEVEL ARE NOT FIXED BUT THE OUTCOME IS MORE THAN 90 % CERTAIN .

 YOU MATCH YOUR RISING STAR AGAINST AN OPPONENT THAT HAS LITTLE CHANCE TO BEAT HIM . YOUR MAN CLIMBS THE LADDER & THE CHUMP GETS A PAYDAY .

 WHEN A JUDGE'S DECISION IS BEYOND BELIEF YOUR SPORT IS IN TROUBLE . YOU MIGHT AS WELL WATCH WRESTLING . EVEN WRESTLING HAS TO FOLLOW THIS RULE . REMEMBER WHEN KING LAWLER WAS IN HIS HEY - DAY . THE PROMOTION BROUGHT IN ALL THESE PHYSICAL MARVELS BUT LAWLER PULLED HIS STRAP DOWN & WHUPPED 'EM ALL .

 EVEN THE DIM BULBS SAID THERE IS NO WAY THE KING SHOULD BE WINNING THESE MATCHES . THE RESULT WAS THE FANS STOPPED PRETENDING WRESTLING IS REAL . AS FAR AS I KNOW MY COUSIN ALFRED IS THE ONLY LIVING PERSON IN THE U.S.A. THAT THINKS WRESTING IS ON THE LEVEL .

 HOW MANY BOXING FANS ARE STILL TRUE BELIEVERS ? 

IDEALS ABOUT SEC COACHES

***
HERE ARE SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT SEC COACHES  . YOU WON'T GET THIS ANYWHERE ELSE .

FLORIDA - WILL MUSCAMP 
  THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON WILLIE . HE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE IN CONTROL OF HIS EMOTIONS ON THE SIDELINE.
  MYER LEFT A MESS & THE GATORS WILL HAVE TO REBUILD .

GEORGIA  - MARK RICHT 
  MARK NEEDS TO RETURN TO OLD TIME BULLDOG FOOTBALL . BACK TO THE POWER RUNNING GAME & PLAY ACTION PASSING .
 GEORGIA HAS MORE PLAYMAKERS AT RUNNING BACK THAN THEY DO AT QB .
 
 KENTUCKY - JOKER PHILLIPS 
   HE IS A JOKER ALL RIGHT . JOKER HAS A HARD ROW TO HOE AT KENTUCKY MADE HARDER BY THE FACT RANDY SANDERS  IS YOUR OC .
   THE WILDCATS COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT FOOTBALL AS LONG AS CAL KEEPS THE BIG BLUE HOOPS HUMMING .

 SOUTH CAROLINA - STEVE SPURRIER 
     THE OLE BALL COACH LETS HIS MASSIVE EGO GET IN THE WAY OF WINNING . IF YOU HAVE LATTIMORE AS A BACK YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HIGHLIGHT THE RUNNING GAME . NOT STEVE 
     SPURRIER HAS NEVER BEEN HAPPY WITH HIS QBS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS HE WAS. OF COURSE NO HUMAN IS AS GOOD AS STEVE THOUGHT HE WAS .
     THE GAMECOCKS BEST MOVE WOULD BE THE I WITH 3 WIDE OUTS .

 TENNESSEE - DEREK DOOLEY 
      THE LITTLE DOOLEY BOY IS IN OVER HIS HEAD ON THE HILL . THE PLAYERS HATE HIM & THE BIG ORANGE FANS ARE LIKE  RATS ON A SINKING SHIP .
    LITTLE DOO HAS LOST CONTROL OF HIS TEAM . THEY HAVE NO LEADERSHIP FROM PLAYERS & LACK THE TALENT THAT USUALLY WEARS ORANGE . 
  THE DOO - MAN NEEDS TO WIN 8 TO KEEP HIS JOB . WITH THE SCHEDULE HE HAS THE VOLS MIGHT STRUGGLE TO GET PAST 4 .
   Y'ALL WAVE BYE TO THE DOO - MAN .

 VANDERBILT - JAMES FRANKLIN
    WHAT A FIRST RODEO FOR JAMES . A BREAK EVEN SEASON & A BOWL . CAN YOU BELIEVE IT IS VANDY ?
    JAMES IS ALSO BRINGING IN PLAYERS VANDY WOULD HAVE HAD NO CHANCE TO LAND IN THE PAST. 
   WITH THINGS SO WELL OUR MAN JAMES CAUSES A STINK . JAMES SAID COACHES WIFES NEED TO BE PRETTY BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO HANG OUT WITH UGLY WOMEN . I 'M NOT REAL CRAZY ABOUT THAT MYSELF . 
    JAMES, JUST FOCUS ON FOOTBALL & QUIT BEING A FUNNY MAN 

NEXT TIME WE WILL COVER THE SEC WEST . THERE ARE MORE EASY TARGETS OVER THERE .

THIS AND THAT

**** THIS SCHOOL MERGER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE BIGGEST DISASTER IN MEMPHIS HISTORY .

 IF THE MUNICIPALS FORM THEIR OWN SCHOOLS THE COST WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING . THE TAX BURDEN WILL BE HEAVY INDEED .

 IF YOU LIVE IN G'TOWN  & ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, YOU WILL PAY TAXES FOR TWO SCHOOL SYSTEMS YOU DO NOT USE .

IF THE MUNICIPALS HAVE THEIR OWN SYSTEMS THE ENROLLMENT OF THE NEW UNIFIED DISTRICT COULD FALL BY 33 % . THE FUNDS WOULD FALL BY THE SAME AMOUNT & SO WOULD THE NEED FOR TEACHERS .

 THE MUNICIPALS COULD CHOOSE THE TEACHERS THEY WANTED WHILE THE UNIFIED DISTRICT WOULD BE FORCED INTO MASSIVE LAY OFFS .

THE SCHOOLS NOW ARE TOO TOP HEAVY . THEY HAVE TOO MANY ADMINISTRATORS AS IT IS . AS IT STANDS NOW A LOT OF THESE FOLKS WILL BE OUT OF A JOB . THESE FOLKS ARE USUALLY DEEP INTO THEIR  CAREER .

GOING BACK TO THE CLASSROOM IS NOT A REALISTIC OPTION BECAUSE THEY CAN HIRE YOUNG TEACHERS FOR MUCH LESS MONEY . THIS COULD MEAN A BAD END FOR MANY CAREER EDUCATORS .

IT IS A BLEAK OUTLOOK INDEED .  I DON'T SEE  HOW GOOD CAN COME OF THIS MESS .

**** I AM NOT A FAN OF LABRON JAMES BUT I KNOW HIS POSITION . ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS IN SPORTS IS TO WIN WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO .

 THERE IS NO JOY IN THE CHASE JUST THE BURDEN OF EXPECTATIONS .  THERE IS ONLY THE PRESSURE OF FULL -FILLING WHAT IS EXPECTED.
THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS BREAK EVEN .

LBJ HAS TO WIN IT ALL OR HE HAS FAILED . A LOT OF PRESSURE , NO JOY , A TOUGH PLACE TO BE .

TEA CAKES & YEAST ROLLS

****
A BIG GROUP DISCUSSION BROKE OUT IN THE CHEMO ROOM LAST WEEK . THERE IS USUALLY NOT MUCH TALKING MUCH LESS  AN ACROSS THE ROOM GROUP DISCUSSION.

 A GROUP OF OLDER MEN TALKING ABOUT THE WONDERFUL THINGS TO EAT MADE BY THEIR GRANDMOTHERS . THERE WAS A LOT OF UNITY ACROSS RACIAL & ECONOMIC LINES . A LOT OF SHARING .

I DIDN'T TAKE A BACK SEAT TO ANYONE NOT WITH MY MAM-MAW. SHE LIVED RIGHT ACROSS THE GRAVEL ROAD,MICKEY MANTLE COULD HIT A BALL FROM OUR HOUSE TO HERS . I ATE ONE TO TWO MEALS A DAY WITH MAM-MAW. 

SHE HAD TWO CLAIMS  TO FAME : YEAST ROLLS & TEA CAKES WITH CHOCOLATE.  BOTH WERE WORLD CLASS TREATS IN MY BOOK .

MAM-MAW MADE THE ROLLS IN A BIG IRON SKILLET . I COULD EAT A SKILLET FULL BY MYSELF & SO COULD MY DAD . SO MAM -MAW ALWAYS FIRED UP AT LEAST THREE SKILLETS.

THE TEA CAKES WERE JUST A SIMPLE SUGAR COOKIE . WHAT MADE THEM SPECIAL WAS THE SWEET MILK CHOCOLATE MAM -MAW PUT A THICK LAYER BETWEEN TWO TEA CAKES .

I HAVE NEVER FOUND A PRODUCT TO EQUAL THE TEA CAKES . I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE EVEN MAKES THEM . WHEN I TRAVELED FOR BOXING ,MAM-MAW WOULD MAKE ME A GROCERY SACK FULL OF TEA CAKES FOR THE TRIP .

I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET A YEAST ROLL IN THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA . YOU COULD ONCE AT BUNTYN'S BUT THEY ARE LONG GONE NOW . IF YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A GOOD YEAST ROLL ,GIVE ME A HOLLER

*****

 THANK THE LORD THE LAW & ORDER BOYS CAUGHT UP WITH TWO KILLERS IN THE AREA . ADAM MAYES KILLED HALF THE BAIN FAMILY & FOREVER DAMAGED THE OTHER HALF . I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR WHY .

 MAYES HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE HE KILLED , THE ROADSIDE KILLER DID NOT . THIS SICK PUPPY JUST DROVE DOWN THE INTERSTATE & KILLED FOLKS AT RANDOM.

MOST TIMES I AM OPPOSED TO THE DEATH PENALTY  BUT I WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THESE BOZOS .  OL ADAM SAVED THE STATE THE TROUBLE BY KILLING HIMSELF WHEN CAUGHT . 

THE ROADSIDE KILLER HAS YET TO GO TO TRIAL BUT IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY I HOPE HE GOES TO THE DEATH HOUSE AT PARCHMAN .

*****
 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BIGGER MESS THAN THE SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION ? WHEN THE DOO - DOO IS OVER JOHN AITKEN 'S HEAD YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN DEEP ,VERY DEEP . BIG JOHN IS JUST A BIT SHY OF 7 FEET SO YOU KNOW ALL THE STUFF ROLLING DOWNHILL IS COMING FAST .

WELL DONE MOM

*****
        ANOTHER MOTHER'S DAY HAS PAST . I THINK I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 61 OF THE OCCASIONS .

 PRAISE JESUS , I HAVE HAD MY MOTHER THIS LONG . I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED . I KNOW MOST FOLKS THINK THEIR MOM IS GREAT BUT MINE DEFINITELY IS .


MOMMA  ALWAYS PUT HER CHILDREN FIRST. WILLING TO MAKE ANY SACRIFICE FOR THE KIDS . SHE MADE SURE THAT EVERY NEED WE HAD WAS MET . 

MOTHER ALWAYS SAYS SHE NEVER WANTED TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD BRING SHAME TO HER FAMILY . AS A  RESULT MOM DID A BANG - UP JOB OF TEACHING VALUES .

MOTHER DID A GREAT JOB OF MODELING THE SACRIFICIAL LOVE OF JESUS  & THAT IS THE MOST ANY PARENT CAN DO .

SISTER & I SAY THANK YOU MOM FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL . THANK JESUS THAT YOU ARE OUR MOTHER .

*****
        I THOUGHT THE GRIZZLIES WERE GOING TO PROVE ME WRONG . I WISH THEY HAD .

 WHEN MEMPHIS FELL BEHIND 3 GAMES TO 1 , I SAID THEY COULDN'T COME BACK . THEY ALMOST DID .

 BUT CLOSE ONLY COUNTS IN HORSESHOES , HAND GRENADES, & SLOW DANCING . WHEN A TEAM FALLS TO 1 & 3 THEY LOSE THE SERIES 95 % OF THE TIME .  SO IT IS WITH THE GRIZ.

 I DON'T KNOW WHAT MEMPHIS NEEDS TO DO . I DON'T SEE A CHRIS PAUL OR KEVIN DURANT .  THERE IS NO PLAYER THAT CAN CARRY THE TEAM .

 RUDY GAY IS A GOOD PLAYER NOT A GREAT PLAYER . SAME THING WITH MIKE CONLEY. THE TEAM HAS GOTTEN MORE OUT OF Z - BO & GASOL THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE .  

BIG DECISION TIME FOR THE FRONT OFFICE BOYS .

*****
        ARE ALL THE MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHERS FROM SHELBY COUNTY ?

 GEORGE SHERRIL FROM ECS, PAUL MAHON FROM G - TOWN , THE POMERANZ BROTHERS FROM HOUSTON / C- VILLE & THE BIG DADDY OF THEM ALL : MATT CAIN FROM HOUSTON .

 ZACK COZART IS ALSO AT 2B FOR THE REDS .  THE BASEBALL PROGRAMS ARE PRODUCING BIG TIME IN SHELBY COUNTY .

THANK YOU FOR READING !!!!!!!!!!!!

MORE PLAIN TALK

***
I WAS WATCHING THE WELLS FARGO GOLF EVENT & WAS INTERRUPTED BY A DUKES OF HAZZARD EPISODE.

A DUDE IN ORANGE FROM HIS NECK TO HIS ANKLES IS ON THE COURSE SWINGING A CLUB . HE WAS DISSECTED  BY A WHITE BELT . IF HE HAD A GIANT T ON HIS CAP I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD . WITH A CAP PULLED DOWN OVER SHAGGY HAIR HE HAD TO BE BO & LUKE'S LOST BROTHER.

TURNS OUT HE IS RICKY FOWLER WHO GOES ON TO WIN THE EVENT . NOW I AM ONLY A CASUAL FOLLOWER OF GOLF BUT I HAD NOT HEARD OF FIVE OF THE SIX GUYS ON TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD .

ONE THING ABOUT OLE RICKEY , HE BRINGS A LOT OF COLOR TO THE TOUR. THE TIGER MAN FAILED TO MAKE THE CUT . WOODS IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET HIS GAME TOGETHER . THE CLOCK IS RUNNING ON THE RECORD CHASE.

 ***
THE GRIZZLIES ARE DOWN 2 - 1 IN THE CLIPPER SERIES . BOTH GAMES WERE LOST BY A SINGLE POINT.

I REALLY THINK THE GRIZZLIES ARE THE BETTER TEAM BUT IT IS HARD TO OVERCOME LOSING TWO GAMES YOU SHOULD HAVE WON .

EVEN IF MEMPHIS WINS TONIGHT TO EVEN THE SERIES I DON'T THINK THEY CAN RALLY BACK TO ADVANCE.

TWO THINGS THAT DON'T LAST
   1 DOGS THAT CHASE CARS
   2 BASKETBALL TEAMS THAT PLAY POORLY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER .

***
IT IS TIME TO PULL THE PLUG ON BOXING . FAILURE TO TAKE PROPER CARE OF THE FIGHTERS  SHOULD PUT AN END TO THE SPORT .

MATCH MAKERS ARE PUTTING FIGHTERS IN THE RING THAT WILL LEAD TO TRAGEDY AFTER TRAGEDY . I WATCHED A BOUT WHERE AN UP & COMING UNDEFEATED PROSPECT WAS MATCHED AGAINST A MAN WHO HAD NOT FOUGHT FOR 27 MONTHS & NOT WON A FIGHT IN OVER 3 YEARS . ANY DOUBT WHO LEFT ON A STRETCHER ?

TRUTH IS MOST MATCHES ARE NOT COMPETITIVE . ONE FIGHTER IS ON THE WAY UP ,THE OTHER ON THE WAY DOWN . THE YOUNG GUYS BUILT THEIR RECORD & LEARN THEIR TRADE . THE OLD DUDES ARE LOOKING FOR A LAST PAYDAY.

MOST FIGHTERS WON'T HAVE MORE THAN 5 OR 6 COMPETITIVE FIGHTS IN A CAREER . MOST GREAT FIGHTERS STAY TOO LONG & WIND UP WITH NOTHING . WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE ONES WHO ARE HUMAN PUNCHING BAGS ?

 TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN . AND WE NEED TO START  THINKING ABOUT
 FOOTBALL .  THE PLAYERS ARE TOO BIG & FAST . THE BODY CAN'T ABSORB THAT MUCH IMPACT .

HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
