I'm 30 years old, and I don't have a beard, and the Cubs are hitting .202 from the third-base position this season.
At least The Redhead's still hot.
Go ahead, nerds. Ask me anything.
I'll start answering these sometime after I get up and do some work tomorrow.

Did you play high school baseball?
What's your best/worst/funniest memory of high school baseball, is so?
Also, choose one, PBR or Natty Bo's?

How many series do you expect the 1's to play this week? My current over/under is 4 before there are wholesale substitutions.

Can you post pics of the hot redhead you speak of?

Do you think "Pig" Howard will play this week against Georgia State? And do you see him in the slot, putting Hunter back outside where he belongs?

Has Dooley commented on the new look yet?
Do you get carded more without the beard?
Did you notice the UT fans taking the NC State fans out of the game Friday night? From my section, it looked like the entire State contingent basically shut it down by the end of the 1st Quarter.

Is the new athletic facility open? If not, when will it be open?

Which SEC team has the most unethical recruiting practices? Without naming names, what is the most unethical thing that you've heard about in recruiting?

Within the W/R/K group, who's available to have a hand shook thisFriday or Saturday?
I saw an interesting idea at a Kansas blog (reading on Brandon Bourbon) where they ranked the top 10 players from the last game. Where the top player got 10 pts and the 10th got a point. Presumably score is kept throughout the season.
Can you give us your top 10 performers, in order of best to 10th best? I have mine written down. Want to see how close I am to yours. Is this a concept we could adopt here?

Yeah, I'd love this. Obviously, change names/schools, but these things intrigue me greatly.

I can't speak for Wes, but I don't know if you're going to get much of an answer on this one. Wes doesn't really cover recruiting, and I really don't think there are many teams you can point the finger at in terms of unethical recruiting practices.

MSU and Auburn are pretty easy to point at. You are kidding right?
