Wes, #1. Have you had Bentons Bacon and if so, have you ever had better? #2. Could Jarnell Stokes transform into a good SEC tackle if CBJ had him for 3 years?

What do you think of James Franklin calling Saban "Nicky Satan"? Assuming Saban is not happy about it, what will be the reaction of the Mike Slive and the other coaches in the SEC? What is his motivation for doing this?

The fat girl with the Bama sticker in front of me ordered a value meal plus a 12 piece nuggets- her order was still on the screen ($9.58) How much McDonalds can you eat?

I'm not a McD's guy.

1. Best HS rivalry in Knoxville (football, basketball and baseball) 2. Team you liked to beat the most when you were in HS 3. Does TN make the SEC baseball tournament this year?

1. I'm always gonna answer Catholic-Webb. Duh.
2. Webb. Then Notre Dame, McCallie and Baylor.
3. Yes. But not by a lot. JMO.

1. Yes. It's one of the best I've had.
2. Probably. But Stokes would be hell on wheels as a D-end.

Ian Darke should call every game in every sport. And narrate my life.

1. No clue.
2. 2nd to the Nats but with a WC spot.
3. One of the QBs will have a good day and build momentum going into the summer.
4. 10-8 or 11-7, IMO.

Wes,
One of the bars here in Anchorage is going to have a "Wheel of Bacon" for Super Bowl Sunday. Is this something you'd be interested in??

That's one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

Since bacon is just gateway pork, have you ever tried scrapple?
Thin sliced and deep fried to a crisp is best, just flick off those pesky tails.

1) First Cubs game you ever went to, if you've been?
2) Ever done the bleachers across the street for a Cubs game?
3) HOME football game you're most looking forward to covering this year?
4) This might be for Ryan, but the absolute BEST spot we finish in the recruiting rankings if everything goes our way?
Go Cubs, and by God when does The United State of Bacon start on TV?

No.
One of my best friends is from just outside Philly, and he and his family have tried on several occasions to get me to east scrapple. I can't do it.
