Apparently some writers don’t take ther AP Poll ballot as seriously as fans would like them to. (Thanks to TheBigLead for the heads up.) First, Parrish Alford, of the NE Mississippi Daily Journal, still thinks Louisville is #13 while Kentucky is #24. (And here I could’ve sworn that I saw Kentucky score at will against [...]

Awful Announcing again provides us with this weekend’s TV schedule (Sept 20th thru 22nd): The weekend opens with Texas A&M at Miami and Erin Andrews probably in a tank top—YEAH!
