SEC territory paper (Tennessean) reporting that satellite camps are *GASP* a good thing (or at least not bad)
Article by Joe Rexrode (formerly of the freep, now with the Tenesessean) put out an article after attending Harbaugh's camp in Oakland yeasterday and had nothing but good things to say about the camp experience. He of course had to get in a few obligatory slights on Harbaugh but comes to the overall conclusion that these camps are good for everyone. Also gets a good dig in on Saban

All my exes live in Texas...and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee!!!
All my exes live in Texas like I'm George Strait
...or, they go to Georgia State.
where tuition is handled by some random...SEC Bagman.
HYFR
I have a such massive gripe with this song. Despite it being one of Strait's most famous, it is easily one of his worst. Why is this a popular song? I probably have 40 George Strait songs in my iTunes and don't keep this one. Really overcooks my grits.
How do you like your grits? I like mine with cheese.
Cheese and hot sauce if for breakfast.
Cream, shrimp, and green onions if for dinner.
Throw some andouille into your dinner recipe. You can thank me later.
I already do, glad we are singing the same hymn. Little bit of bacon as well, chopped. Cook the shrimp, andouille, and onions in the bacon grease.
It's fuckin lit.
Grits can only be saved by adding copious amounts of butter and sugar, to make them more like Cream of Wheat. Adding milk is good, too - but only whole milk. That candy-ass 2% can ruin what is already a bad product, you know...
are the bee's knees.
But even home style w/fried eggs and bacon/sausage, simple and delicious!

Anyone that puts sugar in their grits deserves a Bruce Lee kick in the mouth.
in any form. Seriously, they're made of the part of the corn that you're supposed to throw away or feed to pigs.
I get it, a long time ago people had to eat that slop or starve to death. Well things are better now so you can stop.
That said, I do love most southern food, especially the 25 different types of BBQ available.
I could make you some grits that make you do a 180

It was actually a really well-written article. And if you were truly educated, you would know that the South is actually known for its literary qualities.
Like literacy tests for voting?
The American South has long been seen as the focus of the country’s Civil Rights Movement, carrying with it the stigma of poverty, racism, and anti-intellectualism. Yet the region has also produced a disproportionate number of intellectuals, poets, and writers, possibly because of the complicated and layered identities each Southerner holds within him- or herself. The South has begotten some of our nation’s most important authors, including prize winners like William Styron, Eudora Welty, Flannery O’Connor, Ralph Ellison, Harper Lee, and that titan of American letters, William Faulkner. These 50 novels are a reminder that the South cannot be defined solely by its failings; it is also responsible for shaping the minds of countless thinkers who offered to American literature essential insights about not only their region but the world at large

And I think Tennessee Williams should somehow be mentioned in this thread.
Now that is a thoughtful understanding of the South. Thank you.
Fixed it
The shot at Saban was icing on the cake
The Seinfeld analogy was inaccurate - Newman lived on the same floor as Jerry, not upstairs; and he was never just annoying, he was "pure evil".
No. No, there's definitely less.

“I don’t know how much it benefits anybody,” Saban said May 31 of the camps. “All the people that say this is creating opportunities for kids … this is all about recruiting. That’s what it’s about. All right?”
I wish he would just be honest with everyone. A presser where Nick Saban would just say, "Look, I just don't want people up in my shit because it's quality shit" would be one of the better pressers ever held in terms of quotable content, I would think.
"College football prospects and players can be, and are, paid in a variety of undetected ways. The helpers of the associates of the runners of the boosters and agents make sure of it. You and I know this, and so does Saban."
Wow, someone from Tennessee just saying it like it is, as if mocking anyone who'd disagree. It's just so ridiculous how this is the worst-kept secret ever, yet the SEC, NCAA, ESPN, and anyone with $$$ at stake in the SEC's success doesn't ever mention this, much less give a crap.
I suppose 99% of us would believe UM boosters don't do this. If we don't...why not? Srsly. THEY all are.
The dig at Saban was non-existant! Rexrode dug the hole nicely, but then decided not to push Saban in by calling out the hypocrisy. And with that, Rexrode legitimized Saban's complaint. Along with the other obligatory, and untrue, slams on Harbaugh, I thought this story sucked donkey balls. Yes, it expressed some of the good things, but that grudging acceptance came at a price - the lack of follow through on Saban's comments and the unfounded digs at JMFH.
All in all, I guess, that's probably all we could hope for from an unabashed Spartan commando...
He called him a whiner and basically said anyone who pays attention knows he is full of shit. Seems like a couple digs to me
Harbaugh!
Wow, in my life I never thought I'd see a Joe Rexrode article here that wasn't immediately downvoted 100+ times. He wasn't as bad as Valenti but still, he is part of the enemy.
He was at the Lansing State Journal for a good long while. I think he had a MSU beat for a while. His name was on many Izzo and Dantonio articles over the past decade.
This guy is a professional journalist? My 10 year old daughter could write a more coherent article.
