Guess this means Spurrier's ready for the season.
Or a trip to the beach.

Where I am, I am surround by Bama fans, Auburn fans and the occasional Florida/Georgia/LSU fan, back in 2004-2006 everyone was a Texas/USC fan around here, and everyone here still hates Mike Shula, so this is my daily report of happenings here.
Also fun fact, if the place where Manziel is the place I am thinking of (T-Town something or another, it is in the mall near campus) the owner of the store was an old UA donor and would donate millions and give the players free suits and stuff for autographed merch, super nice guy by the way. He had to back off at UA though because the NCAA was "threatening" an investigation, but he has pictures and autographed stuff all over his store, and he even has the 2009 and 2011 National Championship rings, because he let me try them on because I was freaking out over it. So fun fact is over, but I thought this was an interesting tidbit of information.

You can tell just by looking at him that he's more of a Myrtle Beach guy and not a Charleston guy. I'm sure he has a time share in the Dirty Myrtle.
Do you think Spurrier attends bike week?

Looks like Kliff is sticking with the cutoff capris he wore during the Spring Game. If he learned nothing else from his time under Belichick he at least got some fashion tips.Yes, I'm aware it's at least the second time I've made that joke.
In related news, Mike Gundy was recently spotted buying 4 pairs of sweatpants and a sturdy set of scissors.
LOL
You buried the real story though...
Kliff's new UnderArmor sunglasses.
He was still wearing the Oakleys in the new Grantland documentary (Gundy is on the phone with Grantland trying to schedule his interview, I'm sure,) but in this week's practice interviews he's clearly wearing a new set from UA.
This is the biggest shakeup in college football since the introduction if the forward pass.
The sunglasses in question aren't available on UA's web site, so these are likely some prototypes made especially for Kingsbury. I need a pair of these ASAP so recently-divorced West Texas coogar floozies will want to fuck me too.
Hey now, I like both of them. For different reasons. He's definitely a Coors Light guy though, from past pictures.

Ugh, we went to Myrtle this year. Only thing good there is golf anymore, place is a shithole outside of that.
Well, yeah. What were you expecting?

The good thing about Myrtle is there's a lot of things to do. We have a kid so she has a lot more fun at a place like than Outer Banks or Hilton Head. I want to go to Savannah/Tybee Island next year, but we'll see. Will be totally different than Myrtle Beach, but my wife and in laws are from Ohio and they don't think of going on vacation anywhere other than tourist traps.
I could tell you some good restaurants. Parson's Table up in Little River is really nice. It's in an old church, really nice atmosphere for a date. Great food too. Mr Fish has great seafood, the best I had there.

Actually did go to Parson's table, was really good. Also went to a place called the Boundary house north of Myrtle that was really great, one of the few places i have been able to get a steak Pittsburgh style.
I haven't been to the Boundary House yet, will have to check that out next time I'm there.
Well gentlemen, I'm on my first step in being forced to renounce my Gator fandom(at least until graduate school). Just got my hotel here in Greenville and going to tour the East Carolina campus tomorrow. Today is apartment shopping and neighborhood exploring.

I guess I'm going to be a Pirate.

You trying to take on mre at his own game?
We're playing the game at different levels, so there's really no comparison.

You could do worse. Ruffin McNeil is a good guy, and they play a pretty exciting brand of football.

Mark Emmert just said that they're gonna stop selling team-related merch at ShopNCAASports.com, where you used to be able to type in specific player's names and bring up their jerseys.
Don't worry though, you'll still be able to buy all the NCAA-branded stuff you want.
Wonder if they'll have this one?
Ed O'Bannon gonna get that money.

His case is a class action, right?
They have a decent baseball team. And at least you guys play VT at home this year.

Wasn't Kingsbury supposed to be attending red carpet events in Hollywood by now, according to that Tech booster's foolproof plan to catapult him into superstardom?
Still a Jags fan! FOR LYFE!
Greenville seems to be an alright town, going to do apartment hunting tomorrow, since it's too late to get keys right now. I can definitely tell where the divide between college/professional and poorer sides is though.
Step up from goddamn Hickory North Carolina at least. Swung by the school real quick and the baseball stadium looks pretty great.
Fuck that, we're hiring Kliff Kingsbury himself.
That's what I thought. Then Ed O'Banion ain't getting jack, most likely.
Just for the :jnc all around, I would love to see Manziel join the suit if/after the NCAA rules him ineligible.
"You took money from others and can't play, so here's some money we took from you."
Also, do we have to give ESPN a pass for Bilas' actual "investigating", or can we chalk this up to a master plan to destroy the current NCAA and get the BBall tourney coverage from CBS?
Did little Johnny scribble his name on the wall as a kid?
Also, looks like I need to learn things about North Carolina myself. Older Sister will soon be moving to Ft. Bragg cause of her Husband. Who joins back in the military??? Well, guess as a Doctor/Captain...
The Carolina's were always that "we don't go there" portion of the South. That and Mississippi. I know of Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh. Don't think I've ever been in the state, unless I was a baby. Do they have running water?
Eventually, I'll visit over there. Better prep my vaccinations.

North Carolina's alright.
There're some backwoods places and the GOP here is trying to turn us into South Carolina, but there are some real nice pockets of civilization. Ft Bragg shouldn't be an issue, since it's a big military base, so those towns are usually built up. Good mountains, going to check out the beaches soon, only really know Myrtle Beach and it.....'s a beach.

Should the NCAA give themselves self imposed sanctions while the NCAA investigates the NCAA?

I hear Asheville has turned into hipsterdom, which is really weird.
My great grandmother was from the area, and every time we visited her, it was always old people that had been there since World War I, and a few "mountain" folk.

The NCAA is running out of businesses to get out of.

Congrats on this most useless award.
As long as they have that CBS/Turner Tournament contract, I don't think they have to care too much.
