I Want A Girl With Lips Like Morphine

Let me at least throw one irrelevant song quote out there to impress ZackPe that I don't always listen to 80's hair music.

So things are well in Memphis. Things are prolly gonna work out to where we might be in Memphis another 2-3 years I'm guessing. That's actually kind of a relief 'cause I've got a lot of work to do and not much time.

However, Memphis/Liberty Bowl is kinda insulting the SEC and I need to make sure Memphis gets a reality check. Guys, you're cool, but not that cool. Memphis can date the "cute" chicks but it's not ready to date the smoking hot ones.

Case in point: the Liberty Bowl has announced who it's viewing as possible SEC teams to come in January. The SEC has 8 bowl tie-ins with the 7th SEC pick coming to Memphis. The last, and by far the worst place to spend your New Year's, is the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, LA. The Liberty Bowl has it's sights set on Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, Kentucky and South Carolina.

I think I hear scissors and thumb tacks rattling around in Fayetteville as Arkansas posts this article on their locker room bulletin board. Arkanas is the only team undefeated in SEC but everyone is predicting Auburn-Florida in the SEC Championship game. And now, the lowly Liberty Bowl says they're considering Arkansas (which would mean a drop from the #1 to the #7 SEC team)? Boy, this gives the Razorbacks a reason to play. Memphis, right now Arkansas is the hot chick dating the school quarterback and speeding off in his Camaro IROC to either Dallas or New Orleans for New Year's. And you know Arkansas got a little redneck in her so she'll pop the t-tops and flash truckers.

Don't expect to see LSU in Memphis anytime soon. Oh, wait. LSU is the hot chick at your school who has borderline personality disorder and screams stuff like "I HATE YOU!!! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME !!" She'll go from pristine sweetheart to cracked out coke whore by her senior year. That's because LSU has a quarterback that's about as steady and stable as my college sophomore year girlfriend when I'd hide her lithium (sorry Jamie, but you knew that was coming). With a quarterback like JaMarcus look for LSU to be somewhere between the Cotton Bowl and, ugh, Shreveport. But LSU is an easy date. Pack a little grape Boone's Farm and she'll be good to go.
