Sup, B-holes?
This might be a disaster, because I'll be on the road and working a lot of today, but WTH, let's give it a shot.

Wes I saw you talked about it on UGA's site, but what were the details of your 08 SEC Tourney experience? Thought the documentary was great. (I still hate Steven Hill)

What attracted you to journalism/reporting? Was it a lifelong dream/ambition of yours?

There's this really hot girl on twitter and just by looking at her twitter name its pretty obvious she's into me. How should I proceed? BTW, she's @redheadvoodoo_ if you want to look her up.

If you could have a professional wrestling persona, what would it be? Follow-up, what would be your finishing move?

A friend scheduled his wedding for the day of the spring football game.
He's a Mizzou grad so I don't particularly like him. I do have an embarrassing video of him that will be shown at his reception if I go to the wedding and the reception.
His soon to be wife is extremely nice and I like her more than I do him. Plus, my wife likes her.
On the other hand, it's THE SPRING GAME.
What should I do?

I had breakfast this morning with a former college football assistant who has a national championship on his résumé. He told me that he believed the two things more important than coaching were talent and accountability. He said obviously Bama has talent but he was sure all those players were accountable to each other in improving and trying to win a championship. We have discussed the talent at Tennessee ad nauseum, what is your opinion on the players accountability to each other?

Not Wes, but It's not like you would miss UT-Alabama. I think utsports.com will keep the broadcast up on the Net. Watch it later and pretend like it's live.
I do that kind of stuff all the time. It's a big reason I'm still married.

Wes would probably be a cross between Randy Savage and the Genius (RL brothers, but both had the same type of beard as Wes). As far a name, probably "Rawhide" to honor and/or annoy his father. His finishing move would be a legdrop (I doubt he has the agility to be a high flyer) called the "Saddle Up"
