Gameday Notes: It's a trap!

I'm taking a break from my insanely busy lifestyle to give you the rare midday update. I choked down my lunch, and I'll spend the next few minutes sharing with you a few random tidbits, instead of enjoying my rare free time during the day...

First of all, let me address Gomez's comments below. We can't all be paperboys that live in our parents' basement, blogging and playing Xbox all day long, except for those few hours each morning that we spend throwing papers at old men's driveways because they haven't figured out that they can get the same information for free on the interwebs. I'm not buying this whole "private government" job scam. You're lazy, which is what makes you such a great blogger, and we love you for it. Now, on to a few notes...

In case you were wondering about Admiral Ackbar over there, I've included the picture because A.) I love Star Wars and B.) there's a grass roots effort to make Admiral Ackbar the on field/court mascot at Ole Miss home games. This because Ackbar was an integral part of the Rebel Alliance: you know, the group of heroes that lead to the eventual defeat of the evil galactic empire in The Return of the Jedi? Anyway, with his track record in rebellious efforts, he's an obvious choice to replace the racial insensitive plantation owner that used to have the gig. Of course, as any true Star Wars fan knows, Admiral Ackbar would later be charged with treason and kicked out of the alliance, so I have to warn the Ole Miss faithful... IT'S A TRAP! Okay, all overly geek chatter pushed aside, I think he would be a cool choice for the Ole Miss program. Here's hoping that George Lucas gives the green light.

Tonight, there's supposedly a big revenge game on tap, and our favorite beat writer, Austin Martin, will be in attendance. We'll be having a Live Blog during the game, so put the women and children to bed and join us for what should be a great discussion during the game. I hope Downey scores about 2 points, those as a result of technical foul shots because Boogie drop kicked a Cock for his over the top trash talk. Of course, I'm kidding... but seriously, I hope that happens because it would make for some stimulating fun on the Live Blog front.

The game will be on ESPN 2 at 8 PM CST and Dick Vitale will be there to scream his nonsense from the sideline. I for one am looking forward to that, because I love Vitale, and Vitale loves Cal and the Cats. In a season where haters have been out in full force (I'm looking at you Pat Forde and Bob Knight) to share their displeasure about all things Kentucky, its nice to hear perhaps the most well known voice in all of college basketball (repeatedly) say that Cal is the perfect fit for the job, and that John Wall is the greatest thing since Viagra. I'm not sure if Erin Andrews will be there or not, but Austin, you might want to pack some extra hair gel, just in case.

I know it breaks Austin's heart, but he'll be missing another big Kentucky game tonight, because the Lady Cats will be taking on Pat Summit and the Lady Vols in the Knox. This would be a huge upset victory for the Wildcats, and I'm sure I'll be sending constant text messages to Austin, just so he'll stay caught up on his real true love... women's basketball. Seriously though, we wish Mitchell and his gals the best of luck tonight and hope for a Thursday night sweep.

Well, that's all for now... check back later for more good stuff from the guys that are good at giving out stuff.
