Y'all put together a pretty good football team from time to time.

We'll be opening up the college season on national TV against Boise State at FedEx (Redskins) Field. My wife, youngest son and I have tickets. Preseason rankings are Boise State -4 and Virginia Tech - 10. Could be interesting.

PS: I take it Virginia Tech ain't the home of the pointy haids???

Nope. In Virginia, that distinction belongs to UVa. Less than three hours away, but worlds apart from VT. At UVa, it's dockers, Topsiders, button-down shirts and skinny ties. At VT, it's old, ripped up jeans, hiking boots, and flannel shirts. That, and VT graduates get jobs nowadays (the engineers anyway).

Here's a lament from a former Dubya speechwriter about the dishonesty and sleaziness of Faux/Limbaugh et al.

This whole Shirley Sherrod affair has been ugly proof of how shameless and obscene things have become. Granted, Obama/Vilseck overreacted to the fabricated indictment of racism by Sherrod, but isn't the fabrication and Faux News propagation of it the bigger story?

Beck was on tonight trying to claim that he, Fox and the right wing media tried to defend Sherrod. He has gotten so bad the mere sight of him fills me with the urge to puke.

I know a guy whose daughter goes to UVa. He recently had to go bail her out, because she (And others) had been arrested for "Civil disobedience, disorderly conduct and damaging private property." It seems a local bookstore had a big to do over the release of Glenn Becks latest book. So she and a few of her left-wing radical friends from school stopped by to harrass the teabaggers, and a scuffle ensued in which a bookcase was knocked over. No one was injured, but she, her friends and one of the wingnuts were arrested and hauled downtown. Shockingly, none of this made the news. I would have thought the local Fox affiliate would have been all over it.

Crazy kids.

Looks like this one has Boise picked as No. 1. http://collegefootball.about.com/od/...-preseason.htm Sooners are ranked 16, and VT at 11. One ranking that is sure to fall is no. 13 Nebraska. They will be playing with targets on their backs after bolting the league after this season. I can't imagine a team that won't be motivated to beat them.

I like starting the season in the middle of the pack. It's much more fun to watch a team climb up the rankings than watch them try to hold on to the top spot.

More fool them for believing a Republican.

Somehow, I think the judge will have a different take on the matter.

Where's Sandy lately? My posting about UVa was an open invitation for him to come in with both barrels blazing. I believe he went to the University of Richmond and that he has a real soft spot for the quasi-Ivy Leaguers at UVa.

Yeah, Obama was founding chairman and president of the Chicago Annenburg Challenge, Ayer's baby, Obama might, just might have innuendoed into him, just enough to say excuse me, I didn't mean to meet you, I might have to run for national office someday...
