A cool WTF Moment - Vince Young

I know I make fun of or get mad at people during my WTF Moment, but VY is classic in Nashville since coming off the bench.



I feel sorry for Matt Leinart when playing against Vince Young. He is still getting gassed-face for the USC- Texas game, and then there is this from Sunday.

From Barbour to HBCUs and Women College: Screw You and Here is a Bird To Go With It.


Okay, I have heard some rants and raves in Mississippi in years, but this one tips the cake. I remember AverageBro talking about Obama does not care for our HBCUs, but I also see he is not the only one. Check this out from a “somewhat” 2012 presidential nominee Haley Barbour, Governor of Mississippi.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says the state should consider merging some of its universities to save money.

Barbour, in announcing his budget recommendations Monday, said Mississippi University for Women should merge with nearby Mississippi State University and that Alcorn State and Mississippi Valley State be merged into Jackson State.

Barbour said none of the campuses would close.

The Democratic chairman of the House Universities and Colleges Committee, Rep. Kelvin Buck, opposes the Republican governor's proposal. Buck says Mississippi would hurt its own economic future by limiting higher education.

Barbour's consolidation proposal is part of his suggested budget for the fiscal year that begins next July 1.


I mean talking about killing the HBCU and women’s college, he is planning on giving African-American and Women College the lethal injection. Oh and chopping the public school from 108 to 100. It seems like this guy do not care about Mississippi. Each College has a rich tradition and a legacy that is a combined over 300 years. Alcorn State University represents the Southwest part of Mississippi, MUW is a rich tradition for Mississippi women just like Spellman for African American women and other women's colleges, and Mississippi Valley State is the Mecca of the Delta when it comes to institutions of higher learning. It comes to a factor that Politicians from Mississippi do not care about education, nor jobs, or expanding the state. They just want to make it a rest haven for just being poor. Yes, I am talking about every Mississippi politician from the U.S. Senators, the U.S. Representatives, State Senators, and the State Representatives. Mississippi neighboring states Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee, are not even touching their public institution because that is what makes a better head for education and tradition. But for Mississippi, it is vice-versa. The rich gets rich and the poor will never have a shot at making it.

I am going to stay tuned. This is going to turn ugly in post-racial America.

Happy Veterans' Day




To all the people to served and died for this country to have what we have now.

Happy Veterans Day.

Let Me Upgrade You.




I was on good ole’ YouTube today and I was just listening to some tunes then something popped into my mind.

“As much as Beyonce is a real popular singer, how come she don’t stand out as an icons who have serious nicknames like

Aretha Franklin – Queen of Soul

Anita Baker – The Songstress

Madonna – Queen of Pop

Mary J. – Queen of Hip Hop

Koko Taylor – Queen of Blues

Tina Turner – Queen of Rock and Roll

Well let’s dissect this in the way it should been dissecting a long time ago for you kids who don’t know these people.

Anita Baker- Beyonce has some songs that are real nice, but she can not put a feeling into them like Anita Baker. Anita Baker not only sang the song, but she lullaby it to a person like a baby sleeping at night. Just to think about it, I have never heard a Beyonce song with any feeling to it. Her best duet with a little feeling into it was not even in her albums, but a soundtrack. (Note: Look for “Everything I Do” feat. Bilal from the Fighting Temptation Soundtrack) B needs to feel those songs and stop sounding like a robot, which leads me to the next icon.

Mary J. Blige – B and Mary J. are in the same era with a talent that most will die for. Mary J. got the title not because she was in the era that started the Biggies and Pacs, but for the fact she lived liked how she sang was enough. Mary J. can tell you her life literally. (Hear ever album and check the chronology of her and you can see the things I am talking about) To just a regular music lover like me and maybe a count of others, B have been living the perfect life since Destiny’s Child. As much Ne-Yo want to vouch for B, for a music lover, you just can’t. Everybody deal with weight gains and so much, but seriously if you want to be taking serious. You have to have experience serious issues. In B’s entire album, I really can’t see it, public or private which leads me to this other icon.

Madonna – You talk about upgrade, B is in the late twenties - early thirties. Madonna that era did it. She was successful female of that era only to be surpassed by another pop icon named Michael Jackson. B literally is in a league of her own, which is good and bad at the same time. The question is can she still emerge herself when she is older. Madonna did it and surpassed it. She did do some crappy movies before she won a Golden Globe Award in “Evita.” That made me thinks “When she gets older, how would she stand out to the next icon.”

Koko Taylor – In all honesty, Koko simplified it all with her genre, she knew she was blues. B is confused if she is Pop or R&B, and you can tell it on her albums. She was plain and simple which leads me to the next icon.

Tina Turner – Though she praised Tina Turner for being the Queen of Soul (which B need to get her genres right.), Tina knew how bring back her roots. B acts like she is scared to say anything about Houston or even towns in Texas. So really that is the reason she was caught with stealing songs. B forgets that the number one rule into becoming an icon is to talk about someone that you have seen or even heard. I guess she became clueless about that and also it is the reason she had so much heat on her on some of the songs that she did not write. Now that mix-up leads me to the last icon.

Aretha Franklin – Basically, it was perfect timing for Aretha, blacks (not African-American) citizen were not treated fairly, wars, rights, and even economical times were in her era and she knew how to adapt. She was a woman that could rally guys and girls to do anything. B can’t even rally herself. If she could, then this post would not be there. B level of “Irreplaceable” cannot even measure to Aretha “Think” and I know as much as “Single Ladies” and “Crazy in Love” were top hits, comparing that to “Respect” or “Rescue Me” is a joke. Those songs are still here and will be until something new (and I mean moving new) comes out.

Out of all, B has the staying power but can she really reach the stars. Stay tuned, I know I am.

Fear Those Guys with the Blue Turf.




Okay football is in rare form. Everybody knows the scenario.

The Heisman race is heating up for the best player.

There are upsets and shockers around the whole of college football.

Team will either clinch their division to go to their respective championship game to get to the BCS.

Boise State is undefeated……………….

Wait a minute. Boise State is undefeated!

You probably want to know what I am getting at. Well, for the fourth time in five years. Boise State is undefeated and still the BCS want to give the hoax for the third time. They want to play serious team. So the question is the following:

Why are the team who call themselves top dogs (Florida, Ohio State, USC, Bama, LSU) are scared of Boise State on the blue turf or even at there home?

Let me re-count the session of why they are scared to play Boise State.

2004 Boise State was undefeated and people were saying “They were not playing anybody” They ended up playing in the Liberty Bowl and lost to Louisville. Bobby Petrino life has never been the same. He when on and up and down meltdown courtesy of Louisville highs and Atlanta and Arkansas lows.

2005 brought Boise State to a somewhat pretentious season losing to BCS teams Georgia, Oregon State, BC, and at rival Fresno State. They really found something out that season. Buzz Peterson found out that he could play with the big boys, but now he needed to hit a little harder.

2006 was the start of something serious winning all their games (oh yeah, revenge was sweet against Oregon State on the blue turf) and ended up playing in the best BCS game since VY versus USC. It also showed that Big Game Bob was not so “Big Game” anymore.

2007 was their year to shine again. The only railroad was that the challenge was not the blue turf but on the road, losing to both Washington and BCS buster Hawaii. Buzz new challenge was now beat BCS teams on their own turf.

2008 was the year they took their state in taking their show on the road. They dominated BCS teams Southern Miss and No. 17 Oregon on their own turf. The only railroad was a domino effect. Losing the chance to another BCS series run to Utah, who railroaded Bama, and losing to TCU in the battle of the undefeated.

2009 was another year for Boise State to show they can run through the competition. They beat an Oregon team in which LaGarrett Blount (the WTF moment of the college series) could not even show his stuff on the Blue Turf. Also they are running their opponents into frenzy. Still, they cannot get the respect since 2006.

So why don’t the BCS big shots are scared of them, just ask any team that could have been BCS style teams. Oh and ask Oregon and Oklahoma. They will prepare for you and defeat you
