Handicapping Texas AM's SEC Success
Just about everything that needed to be said about Texas A&M’s departure for the SEC was laid out beautifully in two posts by Taylor T Room. Those posts remind me why I’m glad the Aggies are leaving and have optimism they’re en route to another pratfall. I am so happy the Aggies are going you’d...
jones Top Ten 2011 Season in Review
Welcome to the first annual Jones Top Ten season in review. What follows replaces the annual bowl preview, largely because the bowl season sucks. Outside of a handful of games, any given Saturday during the conference season is more compelling than the almost endless exhibition of 7-5 versus 6-6...
BCS Week 4 -- Kicking Off a New Season
Bad economy got you sad? Market meltdown freaking you out? Rumors of rogue traders at European banks rattling your confidence? Starting to see a few more foreclosures and short sales pop up on your block? Wait a minute, let me think about this some more. Oklahoma is number 1 early, Florida is...
jones Top Ten - Week Two - 2011
Whatever happened to Gnarls Barkley? Zach the Eldest and I are listening to the song Crazy on the way to a morning run. It reminded me that I had actually seen Gnarls Barkley at ACL Fest years ago. I figured they had the one hit and sort of faded into oblivion. Music to me seems very disposable in...
The Week That Will Be - 09.10.2011
Last Week: 4-2 ATS 4-2 SU What we learned last week: We learned that Notre Dame just believes that a win over a double digit underdog at home is way too easy, as they have lost four games in four years to such teams. …that Georgia might belong to the SEC (SEC! SEC!) but Boise State just goes on,...
jones Top Ten - Week One 2011 - Labor Day Edition
Any man who ponders a small plastic toy from McDonald’s while children chase each other through enormous plastic tubes resides in the full throes of adulthood. So I hold Greedy Smurf. He smiles. But this doesn’t strike me as the mean-spirited smile of avarice. Greedy Smurf doesn’t look sinister....

Take a packet of salt. From a fast food restaurant I mean. Ever look at the ingredients? You would think "salt" right? Not quite. Well, salt and dextrose. And calcium sulfate, maybe even throw in a little yellow prussiate. Or some sodium silicoaluminate or potassium iodide, like mother used to...
CWS primer - Bracket 2
For all the balance of Bracket 1, this half of the tournament looks more like me on a see-saw with Rosanne Barr. Bracket 2 features arguably the top two and the bottom two teams in Omaha. Looking ahead, I don’t see how this doesn’t come down to a UVA vs South Carolina battle and that would be worth...
jones Top Ten 2010 Bowl Preview Spectacular
My fellow Texas fans: Please set aside your animosity and neurosis for a brief moment and revel in all that is good about the holiday spirit and the bowl season to come. For there is still football to be played. If that is not enough, Andy Williams will join us for a song later, plus Shields and...
Open Games Thread: Civil War and SEC Championship
Ducks. Beaver. Ball Coach. Fib Newton. Hopefully at least one of these will be a good game. Quick question, why won't Auburn let Cam talk?
