The story that won’t die? The Saban Rule. In today’s South Florida Sun-Sentinel, there is a story and quotes from college and Florida high school coaches about the ban on head coaches making visits during the spring evaluation period. This time Saban and Urban Meyer are quoted complaining about the rule, and (a dinosaur) Howard Schnellenberger supports it.
What the experts are saying about LSU
Want to know the real impact of the LSU quaterback situation? Just see what the gambling gurus say.
…fans must understand that college football isn’t the same as the NFL. You can get away with having a decent quarterback like Matt Flynn who led these LSU Tigers to a National Championship last year.

Imagine this! Phillip Marshall writes a piece about Tommy Tuberville. And everything is just super swell!
I know. I know. It isn’t a shock. After all, Leni Riefensthahl was more balanced.

“We’re not going to offer a scholarship unless we’ve looked at them and know we want them, know they can fit in, handle the academics and be a team player in addition to the athletic part. We feel good about all these guys.”
The real news from Marshall was the good news on grades. That’s always good news for any SEC school.
Robert Horry is a leach
Many fans love talking about Robert Horry. But not one blog. One blog finds everything said about Horry’s NBA career a waste of time:
But, it’s all overhyped. All blown out of proportion because when you get right down to it. When you really look at Robert Horry’s career you see Big Shot Rob was nothing more than an average player on some very good teams. In my mind, I see him as a leach.
The Blog Creep Factor
Here’s a chance to look at Erin Andrews. I think she’s saying something about blogs. Oh well. Enjoy. (H/T The Big Lead).
