Basketball Schadenfreude–UCLA Style.

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.

Mississippi Football=My Schadenfreude

Posted by Adam Butler on November 30, 2009

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.

SEC Power Rankings by ESPN’s Chris Low

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.
