- South Carolina has finally implemented a seat licensing donation program similar to our Hartman Fund. Unfortunately for them, one booster is going to court because of the initiative. He apparently bought a lifetime membership to the Gamecock Club that includes a $100,000 life insurance policy donation to the school in exchange for not having to pay this sort of fee. SC is welching on his deal. This is all part of the broader clownish management of the SC Athletic Department. When I read about the way they are run from a fiscal standpoint and compare it to what Damon is doing in Athens...it's like comparing the Boston Celtics to the Washington Generals. (ht - FanBlogs)
- Dr. Saturday looks at the merits of potentially dangerous animal mascots. The footage of Ralphie running nuts in Boulder is comedy. Two years ago, there was a great bogus rumor going around that Bama was going to bring in a live elephant for their games. I checked with someone who has some level of expertise on the subject of elephant management. He informed me that once an elephant decides to wreck your stuff, it's not going to be stopped. You just have to wait until the rampage is over....or he flies away.
- Blutarsky has a quick thought on GT's recruiting. They ended their relationship with a commited prospect after he visited Auburn. That's not overly interesting, but as the Senator points out the "Whys" behind this story are intriguing as it relates to the triple option.
