Seriously. WTF is a '72 Hyundai Cataleer??

Allow D-Roc and Kaine of the Ying Yang Twins to explain it to you in their episode of "Cribs". Translated especially for you!

Funny or Frightening?

Each time I look at this picture I laugh, and then I get scared for what is likely to happen if this legislation passes. He are are two interesting stories that don't seem to mean much to Obama for whatever reason. As long as his bill passes....

The planned health bill, as of right now, has increased in tax payer cost to 1.2 trillion. That's 300 billion dollars more tha lucifer satan beezlebub Nancy Pelosi claimed it would be.

The planned health bill also will create 111 new bureaucracies. That's 111 more than the thousands too many this country already has.

And the picture:

VB's 10/30/2009 Winner - The Results Show

Everybody has an off week or two. After two consecutive losing weeks, I think I just turned the corner. No more losing weeks!! Also, I do believe Lane Kiffin is changing the long-held "don't bet on Tennessee when they are favored" rule. That's nice because I always enjoy betting, and winning, on the Vols when they're favored. Here we go!

Overall Record - 14 and 16

Ranking The SEC Traditions - Round Two, the University of Arkansas

Here comes round two in my rankings. Round one saw Alabama come out with a 65, and up next on the alphabetical list is Arkansas.

Here's how I started this series, and Arky's ratings are after the jump.

I've been meaning to do my own version of this for a while now. Everytime I attend or watch a Tennessee game, I am pleased to take in the traditions of other schools as the pagentry surrounding the football game itself is one of the biggest draws for the SEC. Every school has unique traditions of their own, and many traditions are shared, just in different ways or formats.

So, I'm gonna take on the daunting task of ranking them as impartially as my Orange blood will allow. I won't be including Tennessee's since they would obviously be number one coming from me.

Here are the categories. They are worth 10 points a piece, and the rankings will be total team score with a maximum of 100. I'll rank one school at a time as my own time permits, and then do a final tally and compilation once everyone has been ranked.

Categories are:

1. Stadium - General beauty, capacity, perceived loudness, and any nicknames or traditions therein.
2. Fans - Type of fans and loyalty primarily influence this ranking.
3. Mascot - Intimidation factors heavily in this one. Live mascots get bonus points.
4. Uniforms - Are they hideous or not?
5. Tailgating - Does it exist? How much fun is it? This one may be difficult for me since I've never been to an away game.
6. Fight songs - Speaks for itself really
7. Post-game traditions after a win - What happens after the home team wins?
8. All-time greats - Who were some of the great players from the school's history?
9. Team nickname - This is based on orginality and intimidation as well as my own personal feelings.
10. All-time program success - How often do they and have they won?

So, with that out there, here the rankings, in my opinion as a Tennessee fan, and in alphabetical order:

VB's Winners - 10/30/2009

A one game improvement is still an improvement!! At least I'll keep telling myself that. I do feel good about some games this week, so my percentage should jump up some. As always, you can gamble with free money and keep what you win over at CentSports. Let's check 'em out!

Last Week - 4 and 6
Overall - 14 and 16

Ranking The SEC Traditions - Up First, the University of Alabama

Home of the best traditions in college football. Obviously.

Intermission - A Few Of My Favorite Sites

I'm working up the first installment of a series ranking the various traditions of SEC schools, but in the meantime I thought I would share just a few sites I visit for a good laugh. If you enjoy the misfortune or idiocy of others, check these out. Be warned though, you may be there a while....

1. People of Walmart - If you don't already know about this one, you might be one of the people in the pictures. This site documents the "humanity" of WalMart. Enjoy

2. There I Fixed It - This site documents great moments in duct-tape-engineering. Quite hilarious.

3. Texts From Last Night - A site I just recently discovered, but an instant classic for sure. This site documents all kinds of the weird, hilarious, and crazy text messages that are sent late at night and then submitted. The texts are then ranked for a "good night", or a "bad night". For instance:

(505): Thank you for holding my vodka while the police let me ride their horse.

I call that a good night!

Enjoy these sites while I work on my tradition rankings and get my picks ready to go up this afternoon.
