Clowney's Appearance on The Tonight Show

I knew Clowney would be on The Tonight Show last night, but I missed it. Luckily, Carmen Thomas brought the video link to my attention via Twitter, so hat-tip to her for that.

Happy Labor Day: News Roundup and Links

As you may have noticed, I've been on vacation the last few days. Here are some headlines from around the weekend:

Lindsey Graham to meet with Obama on Syria. Graham actually wants more of a heavy-handed intervention in Syria, so this should be an interesting meeting. My prediction is the Congressional resolution in the Congress is going to make for some strange bedfellows among the anti-war liberals and the Rand Paul libertarians. This vote is going to be close. Personally, I would vote "no". I still don't know what our compelling interest is.

The UGA Offensive Line Gets Ready for the Gamecocks and Clowney. They better do something different that what they did in Clemson. Georgia didn't look like world-beaters last week. And after all the criticism of being "winded" and "out of shape" you better believe that #7 will be motivated in Athens.

The EU wants to put "speed limiters" on all cars, holding them to 70MPH. Obviously, because Europe's biggest problem right now is cars going too fast. 

Here's some good bowties if you like dressing up for tailgates. And here's a Yeti cooler that's perfect for those of you who struggle to keep your keg of beer cold at your tailgate. Maybe drink the beer more quickly, y'all?

That's all I've got. Enjoy the last day of wearing white shoes, ladies. Tick, tock...

Spurrier Wants SEC Title

Well, yeah. Obviously.

It's still way too early to start breaking down matchups and games, but we're closing in on that territory. A blind goat could tell you that winning the UGA game is important.

In any event, if you've been looking for something to scratch that college football itch, the link has plenty of Clowney highlights - including a certain fan favorite.

Sometimes life just isn't fair.

2013 Outback Bowl - Clowney's Hit

I've seen less violent car wrecks.

It's like South Carolina found a grizzly bear and somehow managed to get football pads on him. Oh, in related news, South Carolina won the game.

Coach Lawing Working with Gamecock Defensive Line and Clowney

Here's a great video courtesy of The Big Spur that I saw on a Gamecock Message Board. The best part is that you see Coach Lawing really get onto Clowney. At one point he says "This ain't Damn South Pointe". I love coaches like him.

LA Times sportswriter has high expectations for Southern California Football in 2011

Oh, wait. They meant South Carolina?

My favorite quotes below the fold.
