QUOTES OF THE DAY
“He told me that I should play as many sports as possible while I still had the chance. When I told him that I planned to continue playing baseball beyond high school, he just laughed at me.” — Former Commodore Mike Minor recalling a high school teacher that attempted to persuade him to play football. (Source: MLB.com)
“I feel like that would be a good possibility. I mean, with two older guys in Jared (Funk) and Larry (Smith), wasting another year of my eligibility … it will just depend on where I am. If I’m in a position to see the field, I think (playing) would be a smart move. But I’m ready for whatever.” — Quarterback Jordan Rodgers on if he could be a redshirt candidate.

TWEET OF THE DAY
@emmyleigh: “19 days til college football kicks off, my Vandy coozie is ready and so am I!!”
RANDOM VIDEO OF THE DAY
I’m sure you have it on your schedule to watch the “world” premier of the ABC Family sitcom Melissa & Joey tonight, starring former teen stars Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. Watch the trailer here. At first glance, tt looks like a complex plot… and a ripoff of Who’s the Boss, except Joey Lawrence couldn’t hold Tony Micelli’s vacuum. That being said, sign me up!
Anyway, let’s revisit Lawrence’s smash hit from his Blossom days.

SONG OF THE DAY
“Your Hand in Mine” by Explosions in the Sky is one of my favorite songs associated with football. The track has been used in Friday Night Lights, the movie and the television show.
Just turn up the speakers and soak in the 8+ minutes of instrumental gold.
