Schadenfreude: pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

I hate this for the Bruins.  I really do.  It might not be Morgan St., East Tenn St. and South Alabama, but a 2-4 start with losses to Cal St. Fullerton, Portland, Butler and Long Beach State and a SEVENTH PLACE finish in the 76 Classic Tournament would have UCLA fans in an uproar if they weren’t the country’s biggest fair-weather basketball fans.

per ESPN (citing sources close to the situation).  He had an OK career, I guess.

Schadenfreude: pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

I called that disappointing season, brutha, and now, others are taking notice of the career trend of the Mississippi coach (scroll down to “4 downs with the SEC).  Truth be told, Mississippi fan has to admit he has a little tummy ache–and it’s not the typical, Rebel fan Southern Comfort unduced Sunday morning rumble.  Mississippi fan had his cites on a warm weather BCS bowl.  Instead, he will head, with 26–that’s right–26–seniors to the Mississippi coach’s apex–the Cotton Bowl.

I’d also bet a paycheck the Mississippi coach flirts with another school with an opening this offseason.  Welcome to the Hootie Experience, Mississippi fan.

No suprise, here.

Alex Tejada's next clutch kick as a Hog will be his first.

I take a bit of solace in the fact that you could (as Low admitted)  put 5-10 in any order and have a valid argument.  That said, it is worth noting that Low lives in Knoxville and covered Tennessee for 10 years.

Petey and Co. celebrate a meaningless, self-indulgent TD

It wasn’t long ago that the USC-W coach was whining about Jim Harbaugh and the Stanford Cardinal trying to and ultimately succeeded in hanging half a hundy on the Trojans.  Now, he’s back to his previously scheduled unsportsmanlike conduct as he and UCLA Coach Rick Neuheisel compete for the title of biggest jerk on College Football’s left coast.

last night.  Ryan Mallett took too long to calm down, the UA special teams were anything but, and, with a late lead and 8 players dropping into coverage, the Hogs defense gave up huge chunks of yardage in the flats on easy throws for a QB who is not a great downfield passer.  You have to make him make plays in that situation.  Oh, and there was this:  RUN THE CLOCK!!!!!!!

Your team and your coach are who we said they were (an 8-4 disappointment that was formerly in the Top 5).

He wins games he shouldn’t (LSU) and, just when you think you are over the hump, loses games he should win (USC-E, Auburn MSU).

Oh, and he’s a QB killa.  So, you have that going for you…..that and his own recruits after losing 26 seniors.  History suggests it isn’t going to end well for you. Oh well, he’s your problem, now.

He brings the hammer.

with an “eye black’ out on Saturday. I have a Bible verse “eye black” for them: Lev 26:1

26:1 “‘Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.

He brings the hammer.

I remember when College Basketball was relevant before March. I’m old.

Others Receiveing votes: Minn, Cal,  Clemson

It’s unanimous.  That (a unanimous vote) has only happened 15 times in history.  And, in addition to his 3 MVPs, has has 3 2nd place finishes, a third place finish and a fourth place finish, meaning he has finished in the Top 5 in 8 of the 9 years  he has been in the league. (the fourth most MVP votes since the 1930s.) Imagine what he could do if his elbow wasn’t hanging by a ligament (inside joke).
