Little Rock that is.
I’m still amazed at how Mississippi State played in the second half against Oregon. It was like two different teams. Well, it was two different teams.
But the one constant throughout the entire game was Charles Rhodes. Dang! He came to play and play he did. It was impressive, yet he was so humble afterwards. And let’s be honest, Sir Charles isn’t one to always be humble. And it was a sincere humbleness at that.
Now, it’s top-seeded Memphis. And everyone I talked to, including both Memphis and national writers, says that MSU presents a tough, tough matchup for the Tigers. Should be interesting.
As for today’s agenda, practices and press conferences start at 1. I think MSU goes at 3:30. When done, I’ll check back in and let you know what was said.
Now for some reading . . .
• Charles Rhodes has a monster game.
• State’s starters log the minutes.
• Memphis just wins.

Gordon may have not had his best game yesterday but check out the way his line reads: 8 pts 11 rebounds 9 assist, nearly a triple double, whether he standing out or not, this guy influences the game for the better. He did turn the ball over six times, but still he is a force to reckon with, even on an off night

Anyone else just want to slap a hell outta Paulus?
March 22, 2008 at 1:56 pm |
I”m with ya Farley. Any of those Dukies, in fact.
March 22, 2008 at 2:13 pm |
Even at the cost of my bracket being screwed up, I was hoping Belmont put them away. And GG, could you tell Rick that he doesn’t have to wear his Sunday suit every game. Does he know he can wear something else. LOL

Gregg when you go to the Flying Saucer tonight try the Chimay blue label in the bottle, best beer made. (by Belgian monks no less)
March 22, 2008 at 2:49 pm |
chimay(any label)!!! Great beer
March 22, 2008 at 2:51 pm |
I’ve drank many a beer but never heard of Chimay.
March 22, 2008 at 2:54 pm |
I’ll stick with XX’s, Miller Lite, and Red Stripe when I’m smoking a fatty, I mean, eating a steak.
March 22, 2008 at 2:56 pm |
it comes in a large fat brown glass bottle with a wire twist top and like hailstate said made by belgian monks. Memphis sells it at places but if you ever see it, its a must try if you like dark brew.
March 22, 2008 at 2:57 pm |
Got the crawfish 2th. Sure you can’t make it?
March 22, 2008 at 3:01 pm |
If I see it I’ll grab some. Give anythting a shot. Found a 24 oz Red Stripe on the way back from Tunica last weed farley. Even waited til I got home to drink it. I was driving you know.
March 22, 2008 at 3:02 pm |
They got them in draws chicken liver store in Point City. Pick one up after every football game.
March 22, 2008 at 3:02 pm |
I’m nuckle deep in diaper poo and fruit loops. Tell Draws to turn on that bathroom fan and gather up the matches. Yall are gonna need it with that crew along with crawfish, bbq, and beer
March 22, 2008 at 3:06 pm |
I’m on the way to Tupelo. Expect some pictures on Monday. You guys have a Happy Easter if I don’t get back on here again today. Going to a third world country where computers and indoor plumbing don’t exist.
March 22, 2008 at 3:14 pm |
By the way guys, i’m finally out of the old lady’s doghouse, so i guess my dream of the stripper pole in my rain room will have to be put on hold. And is anybody seeing the the display that WV is having against Duke.
March 22, 2008 at 3:16 pm |
The annual event.
Rooting against Duke.
Watching them flame out early.
Priceless.
March 22, 2008 at 3:25 pm |
Duke losing, and Fargo is on the tube. This is shaping up to be a good afternoon.
March 22, 2008 at 3:25 pm |
Bye Bye Duke, My brackt was already shot anyways ahem thanks uconn
March 22, 2008 at 3:26 pm |
ahh. What a Beautiful Day.
March 22, 2008 at 3:27 pm |
I had WV winning on my bracket. This is going to help my pool since I had Baylor going to the E8, and I lost Drake and UConn in heartbreakers.
March 22, 2008 at 4:05 pm |
Crap. I leave town and you guys have a crawfish boil.
March 22, 2008 at 9:57 pm |
UCLA is strugglin’ with Texas A&M right now as well
March 22, 2008 at 10:13 pm |
A&M will lose!
March 22, 2008 at 10:20 pm |
I just wished that Stanford would have fallen also. I’m sick of all of the PAC 10 hype so I’m pulling against UCLA since my bracket is crap already. And then there were #? left in the mighty PAC 10.
March 22, 2008 at 10:41 pm |
My bracket is crap too!
March 22, 2008 at 10:42 pm |
You guys missed a helluva time. We had a great time. Got to meet Braves and the little injuns.
March 22, 2008 at 10:43 pm |
Wow UCLA finished that one with authority, but I really think the refs let K.Love get away with some pretty blatant fouls under the basket.
March 22, 2008 at 10:46 pm |
A&M choked!
Farley, what was the beverage of choice?
March 22, 2008 at 10:49 pm |
Miller Lite. Had a bunch of it. Gonna try to get a crawfish boil together. Fun stuff it was. the Cats beat the hell out of the other other team.
March 22, 2008 at 11:00 pm |
I heard. What was the crowd like?
March 22, 2008 at 11:00 pm |
GG, I want to thank you for all that you do. If it wasn’t for you, I would have never met 2th, draws, or Braves. Thanks a ton for all you do.
March 22, 2008 at 11:01 pm |
Probably 3000-4000 people. No group had as much fun as the 6 of us. Farley’s, Underware Clan, and the Marine family. Had some fun and did the Maroon, white, fight fight fight cheer.
March 22, 2008 at 11:18 pm |
I love what I do, but I love this blog more than anything. I had a guy came up to me last night, introduced himself and said the blog makes his day. It made my day to hear that! You guys are awesome!
March 22, 2008 at 11:20 pm |
We need to get all the bloggers together at some point real soon.
March 22, 2008 at 11:26 pm |
Yep.after all the babies are born. When is your due date Farley?
March 22, 2008 at 11:26 pm |
Got the Easter Bunny loot set out yet guys?
March 22, 2008 at 11:29 pm |
This blog is great GG- seriously
March 22, 2008 at 11:30 pm |
June 20th. I ate the Bunny. I know, I’m a damn pervert!
March 22, 2008 at 11:31 pm |
I ate two Cadbury’s a few minutes ago!
March 22, 2008 at 11:33 pm |
You bastard! Fatty ate all of our Cadbury’s!
March 22, 2008 at 11:35 pm |
Pocahontas bought them for me before she left. She doesn’t like candy too much.
March 22, 2008 at 11:37 pm |
Yeah, but LARGE did let me go to the game. Wuss.
March 22, 2008 at 11:38 pm |
The Easter Bunny spilled red wine on the rug. We need to have a talk with him and Santa about keeping that stuff out of the living room.
March 22, 2008 at 11:39 pm |
The 2th fairy scares me. Heard he had a big “drill!”
March 22, 2008 at 11:40 pm |
I don’t care for babysitting detail while everyone else is having a good time.
March 22, 2008 at 11:41 pm |
Could be worse, you could have to babysit drunk draws and Farley like the wives had to tonight.
March 22, 2008 at 11:41 pm |
Thats alcohol abuse Easter Bunny!
March 22, 2008 at 11:43 pm |
See, you have to be right there with Draws. Draws and sober people don’t mix well.
March 22, 2008 at 11:44 pm |
I noticed that. We did have a little more fun than all the sober white chicks the row in front of us.
March 22, 2008 at 11:45 pm |
I pity them!
March 22, 2008 at 11:47 pm |
We were not that bad. Littledraws did get a foam finger. Panties ate about 25 pickles. The fat arse!
March 22, 2008 at 11:49 pm |
That was a theme from last week Farley.
March 22, 2008 at 11:50 pm |
I thought that sounded familiar!
March 23, 2008 at 12:01 am |
You guys have definitly had too much fun!
March 23, 2008 at 12:01 am |
No such thing GG!
