Well ladies and gentlemen, as I write this, it’s about two hours until the opening kickoff of Southern Mississippi and my Carolina Gamecocks, the start of College Football and the beginning of my favorite time of the year. Yes, folks, once again it’s football season. And I don’t know where all my readers are from, but down here in the dirty dirty…football is life.

Actually, I never played a game of football in my life, but somehow my closest friends in life ended up playing Division-I and professional football, so the old pigskin just kinda sorta became my favorite sport through them. Well, basketball is still my favorite sport, but football is just my favorite sports season. Going to a school like the University of South Carolina, where their really isn’t much else to get excited about. I mean, our baseball team is usually pretty damn good each and every year, but I lack the attention span to sit through a whole game. Our track team is pretty fuxing awesome too and I love the way the track girls are literally built like horses, but I’ve never been to a Carolina track meet. And our basketball team…well they just suck.

And that leaves our football…now granted, we’ve never had a national championship caliber football team, but win or lose, I’m proud to be a Gamecock. And I don’t wanna hear sh!t about how the Gamecocks football program ain’t this and ain’t that, you know what, at least we have a football program. And not only that, we play in the greatest football conference collegiate athletics has ever seen…the SEC. In a conference like the SEC where you play Georgia, Florida and Tennessee on a yearly basis, and Alabama and Auburn every other year, as long as we walk away with a winning record and beat the ish outta Clemson, that adds up to a good year in Gamecock country.

As mediocre as those expectations might be, it’s not about who wins or loses, it’s about the season. Hell, a nucca can only watch but so many reruns of True Blood and Entourage during the week. We need football, and it’s finally back. Finally. That sports period between the end of basketball season and the beginning of football season is the fuxing worst. Ain’t really ish else for a nucca to do but turn on the Trey Songz and smash some hoes promiscuous girls. I’m not saying that’s what I do when baseball is the only sport on TV, I’m just saying…I’m glad football is back.

It’s the season of tailgates, beer, chicken wings and hot chicks that ask questions during the game cause they don’t know what the fux is going on. But I love this time of the year. Welcome back football fans. Salute to my Gamecocks brethren. One time for my fantasy football advocates. This is our year. It’s our season. It’s game time.

Well, everyone else is talking about it, so I guess we should get the conversation going on The Block too. We won’t know where Lebron James is headed until tonight at 9 pm on ESPN (like he really had to have an hour special to make a decision, right?), but we can throw out some predictions and start up a discuss now. So what do ya’ll think? Will Lebron James return home to his Cleveland Cavaliers? Leave to team up with D. Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami? Join Roc Nation in New Jersey? Sip Ciroc with Diddy in Madison Square Garden? Try to fill MJ’s shoes in Chicago? Come down to the Carolinas and sign with the Charlotte Bobcats? (Hey, stranger things have happened). Lets discuss.

Congratulations to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team, the 2010 NCAA World Series Champions. Which is our first men’s national championship, in any sport, EVER!!! I don’t think I’ve ever been this proud to be a Gamecock. SC all day.  (Sportscenter Recap).

My alma mater’s baseball team is headed to the College World Series Finals, after winning their 4th straight elimination game, in a 4-3 victory over the Clemsux Tigers. Yes, my Gamecocks don’t have a powerhouse football program, and they aren’t worth a sh!t in basketball either. But ya’ll ain’t fuxing with the Cocks on the baseball field (pause…no homo…just in case), or the track field, for that matter. Nice beating up on Clemsux again. The Gamecoks and UCLA Bruins kick off a 3-game series on Monday.

TheState.com: Deja vu: USC beats Clemson again, on to CWS finals

Sidenote: I didn’t want to use that punk ass picture, but it’s the only one I could find.

Update: That’s a better pic.

The Washington Wizards select…John Wall from the University of Kentucky… But I’m sure ya’ll already knew that. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, last night was the night a handful of teenagers and twenty-somethings made millions based off their skills with the b-ball, and future “Basketball Wives” got to choosin’.  Since basketball is my favorite sport (for the record, football is my favorite sports season, and I just can’t get into soccer. *shrugs at the World Cup*), I’ve been watching the NBA Draft since I was a teenager. But for people that could really careless or that would just rather find out what happened after the fact, I posted a 2010 NBA Draft recap video, and a pick by pick analyst via NBA.com here. I’m ready for the 2010-2011 season already…*John Wallin’*. But lets get this pigskin sport poppin’ first.

I told ya’ll back in July when the Lakers got Ron Artest (just after the 2009-2010 season ended I might add) that L.A. would repeat as champions. This series was epic, but in the end, that’s five rings for Kobe (and Derek Fisher), 11 NBA titles for Phil Jackson as a head coach, and the 16th title for the Los Angeles Lakers organization. This was a great season. Congrats to the Lakers.

R.E. Predictions: Lakers win in Game 7.

June 14th, 2010

The Celts are up 3-2 on the Lakers after their 92-86 win in Boston last night. I picked the Lakers in six games, so, ok, I was wrong. I’m still sticking with the Lakers though. LA in 7. Game 6 is Tuesday night.

June 11th, 2010

The 2010 NBA Finals is all tied up at two games apiece, and I think they’re still trying to clean up Glen “Big Baby” Davis’ slob off the court. I still got the Lakers 4-2, though. Bet that.
