It's a Party In the UGA

Hey, remember some of those awful videos from earlier this summer? Did you think it couldn't get any worse?

If you were designing something for an SEC school, would you make it as lame as you possibly could? Well, if you worked for Georgia admissions, you apparently would.

Holy moly. There are no words for how awful this University of Georgia orientation video is, after the jump.

Well, What Did YOU Take for P.E.?

Some of you may recall that I currently live in Texas. Certainly Big 12 country and Longhorns/Aggies territory, but since I'm in Houston, there are also lots of SEC transplants here. Because, let's face it, if you want a job, trolling for work in Tuscaloosa or Little Rock probably isn't going to turn up too much.

So I have a bunch of golf buddies who are all really good guys, with their only big-time flaws that they are SEC fans. And stereotypical, SEC fans, at that. I've heard comments on how they should have the national title and then there should be one for "everybody else." Yes, that cocky.

Anyway, I played golf with one of them on Saturday (from Georgia, big Dawgs fan), along with his Dad and his brother (currently a student at Auburn). After the round, we're having the requisite pitchers of beer, when the subject of taking golf for credit at Auburn comes up. Now, sure, you can take a number of sports for one credit at Purdue, including golf. My friend's brother says, yeah, maybe he should take golf... and then it comes out that last year, as a freshman, he took....wait for it.....water-skiing, for credit.

Water-skiing.

For credit.

We all chuckled, and then at the perfect moment of silence, I tossed out, "Well, that's an SEC education for you."

They were...let's say...less than amused by this.

"Oh, come on!," Dad challenged, "What did you take for P.E. at Purdue?"

"Well," I said, "Since it's not a high school, we weren't required to take phys ed. We went there for an education."

BOOM! Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Cletus!

Yeee-haw!!

UNLV To Join XFL, SEC Gets a Break (Finally)

Teams unveil new unis this time of year...That's normal. The University of Michigan has left Nike to have Adidas providing their unis...Cal has added a paw to the back of their helmets and gotten more stupider with their jerseys and pants and Cinci really effed up theirs...But UNLV's take the cake (of those released this summer). To me, these look like a cross between an inner-city team without any money and the XFL:

I just read that the SEC, thanks to the ole ball coach and Nick Saban has loosened some of its tight academic requirements for its "student" athletes. They will now be at the absolute minimum, according to the NCAA for whom they let on campus. I'm just thankful that they're leveling the playing field with C-USA...Maybe now Florida, 'Bama, Georgia and Auburn will be able to get OK recruiting classes.
