These kinds of blogs aren’t fun without interaction, so I encourage responses. Agree with me. Rip me. Cheer the program. Slam the program. It doesn’t matter to me. Just keep it in good taste so we don’t have to take any comments down.
Within the next week I’d like to start getting some videos up. I’m not sure if this particular blog has that capability, but the site http://www.sec-football.com/ certainly does. Check periodically for new videos.

Any other bits of advice out there, preferably ones that would prevent me from looking like a clueless moron or someone who should be fired immediately?
