In honor of the 15th anniversary of the Atlanta Olympics, my favorite Olympic moment.

I know entirely too much about a few things in life, and Olympic gymnastics is one of those things. I won’t discuss more for fear of scaring my wife like I always do when the Olympics are discussed.

The Premiership kicks off in a matter of weeks with many teams in purdy new kits. To be fair, a few of these are simply ‘keeper kits… but still, I mean, c’mon.

Arsenal: Sure.

Aston Villa: Pawn.

Blackburn: Seriously?

Bolton: LOL.

Chelsea: Same-y.

Everton: Stop.

Fulham: Slick.

Liverpool: Slicker.

Manchester City: Truedat.

Manchester United: Nice.

Newcastle: Pfffft.

Norwich: Brazil?

Stoke: Tradition-y.

Sunderland: Yessir.

Swansea: Blah.

Tottenham: MehNawYep.

West Brom: Bodon’t.

Wolves: YES.

Two bits of USM news were released on Tuesday, in addition to ESPN predicting that Southern Miss could go 12-0.

Southern Miss Athletic Department… why… why release two cool pieces of info in one day? Because you’re the Southern Miss Athletic Department.

Got a little sentimental today when I was reminded that Monster Plantation was renamed Monster Mansion in 2009.

The other day on BigGoldNation.com (the Rivals.com site for Southern Miss) a question was posed: How “Golden Eagle” are you?

Most of the answers revolved around the shifting of wedding dates or praying that a baby wouldn’t be born on a game day.

My response is below:

“On the morning of the 2001 Southern Miss-UAB football game I split my shin open (2 1/2 inches) during an outdoor excursion. My leg was bleeding profusely, and a friend on the trip (a Registered Nurse) told me to go head to the hospital immediately; 7-8 stitches would likely be required. I opted to head to the football game, leaving a shirt sleeve tied around my upper calf acting as a sort of “Mississippi tourniquet”, bleeding into my shoe throughout the entire game… which ended in a 3-0 USM victory.

To this very day not only do I have a visible scar, but also an even more visible accompanying indention in my right shin.

Southern Miss… to the top.”

…hope you find your dad.

There is one individual making eye contact with the creator and curator of one of the most influential website of the last 10. See red arrow… that’s the only lady not glued to her MacBook keys, reporting to the twitter and blog-reading masses.

Oh… and one girl on the left who had just taken a picture of Markie Z and was, I assume, uploading it to Facebook.

This reminds me of the “we must protect this house” Under Armour ads. Only, Southern Miss might not protect this house.

EA Sports even got Austin Davis’ persistent shrug down pat (see: #13 @ 46 seconds). If it’s in the game, it’s in the game… which I’m assuming means that Southern Miss will blow a 21 point lead.

Head to the 52 second mark.

We almost moved to NYC in mid-2010. Not having a car was the only thing I was dreading. <– That’s the most typical Alabamian comment, ever.
