Wednesday saw the defending National Champion Florida Gators take center stage.  Urban “I’m not going to Notre Dame. Ever.” Meyer brought Jesus Christ Tim Tebow along for the ride.  In case you were wondering, Tim Tebow is still a virgin.  You know, kinda like Brittney Spears, Shawn Kemp, and R. Kelly.  Honestly, I agree with espn.com’s Chris Lowe here.  I think that question is out of bounds.  Let’s stick to football until Tebow starts talking about performing surgery in third-world countries.  Then open fire.

Anyway, Meyer also invited Brandon Spikes along to the circus.  Spikes got a case of the Ricky Williams, though, and decided it wasn’t for him. 

Matthew Hayes with The Sporting News has a nice wrap-up of Day Two, including some typical Houston Dale speak.

In our rush to get Blog Hawgs up and running, we barely scratched the surface on Hog football.  Of course Bobby Petrino led off SEC Media Days with his typical, monotone style.  It is amazing how pleasing that is to the ears after a decade of revival-tent preaching from Houston D. Nutt.  (After seeing him at Oxford last year, I am now convinced the “D” stands for Donut and not Dale.)

Here are a few links that give you a taste for the day.  Even when I was actually covering (and I use that term loosely) sports 10 years ago, I found Media Days to be completely anti-climactic.  There certainly seems to be more attention now, and I think the rock star status of SEC coaches makes it more interesting.  But when it is all said and done, it is still a bunch of folks saying the same things you’ll read in local papers across the Southeast. 

That said, we are blessed with a few good sportswriters here in Arkansas.  Alex Abrams is one of them.  You can typically count on Robbie Neiswanger to deliver the goods, too.  Those two combine efforts here on a piece about all that TV revenue and where the money goes. 

I have long been a fan of Terry Wood, who talks about the emerging Arkansas wide receivers in this story.  Nate Allen has also been a favorite of mine for years.  Here is his story about the big to-do on Dickson Street this past Tuesday.

I just talked to Adam, and he is feverishly working on the first of our 12-team SEC preview.  Ole Miss takes center stage tomorrow with Vanderbilt to follow on Saturday and South Carolina on Sunday.  We are having a lot of fun writing these.  Hopefully that translates to a good, informative read for you.

Gainesville Sun writer Robbie Andreu appears to be buying the Hogs as a sleeper this year.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle just completed MLB’s sixteenth ever perfect game against defending American League champion Tampa Bay. 

Buehrle’s line:  9 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 6 K

CBS Sports writer Dennis Dodd continues his countdown of the most successful college football programs of the decade with 51-70 today.  These columns are always fun this time of year, and they generally spark vigorous debate.  No mention of the Hogs yet, so at least we know Dodd has us in his Top 50.

Here are links to the rest of the rankings so far:  71-90, 91-110, and 111-120.

THIS is the super secret video of Lebron James getting “posterized”?  Much ado about nothing, in my opinion.  Own it, Lebron, own it.

THAT’S IT?
