jones Top Ten - Week Seven - 2010
Your life takes on a certain settled quality when you come to understand and appreciate the rhythms of your neighborhood grocery store. I like mine, the HEB just off of Far West Boulevard. It’s not so huge as to require a Sherpa to negotiate the produce section, but big enough to stock everything I...
jones Top Ten - Week Six - 2010
I am now a member of the New Orleans Bourbon Society. Highly coveted, my admittance required an extensive vetting process: providing both my name and e-mail address. Typically in Louisiana, you pretty much just have to be tall enough to reach the bar, no e-mail address required. I joined the...
jones Top Ten - Week Two - 2010
Being crushed by a 30-foot tall inflatable elephant did cross my mind, but it did not instill so much fear as to make me leave the very hospitable tent keeping me dry. As the wind and rain picked up, Jumbo (actually the faithful call him Big Al) was tilting backwards on his heels: one stiff gust...
Sticky Notes
As May marches on, the NCAA baseball picture continues to come into focus. Even from last week to this week, fans can now flex a bit more certainty when looking toward Omaha. And by the way…that Garrett Wittels guy (the one with the hitting streak) that was mentioned last week? He’s...

Had enough rumor mongering about conference realignment? If so, there is some quality discussion to be had regarding the upcoming College World Series. The regular season is winding down and there are a boatload of possibilities for postseason positioning. In addition to the traditional seeding,...
Some Thoughts on the Kentucky Loss

Tebow's dad helps Florida recruit?
Last week GamecockCentral.com, Rivals' South Carolina site, put up an article on their blog saying that Urban Meyer used religion to gain the commitment of defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd. Coaches talk about their religion all the time with players and recruits, but this was different. Much...
GameWatch Week 10
One of the coolest things about living in California, aside from paying taxes that makes Belgians wince, is the fact that college football is in full swing as I breakfast: usually a fiber-rich muesli bought fair trade from Andean Indiginos. After my exfoliating regimen, making a lease payment on...
Barking Bets: Week Six, Enter Huck's Supercomputer
Well week 5 was certainly one to remember and could have been even better had CSU not crapped the second half bed. A double digit first half lead on dominating line play was erased in the second half by horrible effort and inexplicable play calling. Ah well, 6-1 while pocketing a gluttonous 8...

Vegas Kyle's write up on the Hawkeyes putting a licking on the Cocks. Iowa -4 over south carolina This is the story of two teams with opposite perception from not just the betting public but the college football public in general. Iowa is an under the radar covering machine that I have been backing...
