Notes From The Old Guard: The Bluff City Rules
By Jay Busbee | January 20, 2008
Breading, flouring and frying up what the (mostly) Southern mainstream media’s reporting these days:
-The University of Memphis is now No. 1 in college hoops (presumably). Expect to read more about this here. [Memphis Commercial Appeal]
-LSU celebrates its national championship win on a cold day, and one dignitary mentions how he went from “a soul brother to a cold brother to a fudgesicle.” With a line like that, we sure hope he’s black. [Baton Rouge Advocate]
-West Virginia’s problem–a coach with a wandering eye–could one day befall Michigan. How far are we from installing those collars on coaches that blow their heads off if they stray too far from campus? [Charlotte.com]
-File under “Numbingly Obvious”: Chris Chambers is happy he’s playing in the AFC championship for San Diego, and not still stuck on 1-15 Miami. [Miami Herald]
And in the world beyond sports–really, there apparently is one:
The monster in Cloverfield? Bin Laden. Betcha didn’t see that one coming…Giuliani’s curious “you guys go on ahead, I’ll catch up” strategy is starting to spring leaks…Looking for that big tax rebate this year? Maybe yes, maybe no…Sam the Butcher has sliced his last meat.
