Let's See That Again

Can't get enough of Travis Leslie's rock the cradle jam? Neither can I. Here's a video of how Travis and Jeremy Price's dunks led to a UT timeout early in the game on Saturday.

Top Ten Plays

As expected, Travis Leslie's latest highlight reel dunk was on Sportscenter's top ten plays. Unfortunately, John Isner was on the other end of a top ten play.

Watch Isner Tonight

Thus far I've only tweeted on Isner's run at the Australian Open. It's been tough to say when he'd play so I haven't been telling many people to watch. However, tonight sets up perfectly. Isner plays Andy Murray in the first slate of matches for the day. What does that mean for us? It means his match will be on live tv at 7pm est. You can catch the match on the Tennis Channel if you have it. You can also tune in to channel 701 on DirecTV. If you don't have either, you can stream the match live on tennischannel.com.

In case you haven't been watching, John's been getting plenty of pub on ESPN as he's one of only two Americans remaining (Andy Roddick). Here's a nice piece from ESPN featuring the University of Georgia.

Can't Get Enough Yata

I just can't watch this enough times. It never gets old.



We sure could have used a guard of Sundiata's caliber at Mississippi State yesterday. Something tells me we wouldn't have turned it over 8 million times in the last five minutes with him on the court.

Schad says Reshad and Rennie are gone

Joe Schad just tweeted that Reshad Jones told him he's leaving for the NFL. He also says Rennie Curran is expected to do the same...whatever that means. While Schad was a little premature with the Willie Martinez firing story, he was eventually proven to be right. We'll see what happens here.

Sweet Dunk

While the Dawgs fell to St. John's at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, we were treated with a nice alley-oop dunk from Vincent Williams to Travis Leslie.



Don't forget to come out and see the Dawgs play Illinois at Gwinnett Arena next Saturday. It's an easy game to make it to for the Atlanta crowd.

My Heisman Ballot

I was asked to do a Heisman ballot for The Blue Workhorse, so I figured I'd post it here. It's funny. When I started thinking it through, my ballot didn't turn out how I thought it would. So here goes...

1. Toby Gerhart - The stats just don't lie. He leads the nation in carries, yards, and touchdowns. He's also fourth in yards per game. Where would Stanford be without him? Probably not in a tie for 2nd in the Pac-10 and ranked 19th in the country.

2. Ndamukong Suh - Nebraska played for, and nearly won, the Big 12 title. Have you seen their offense? Enough said.

3. CJ Spiller - I initially wanted to put Spiller at the top. If I were a defensive coordinator, I don't think there is any single player I'd be more afraid of facing than Spiller. I dropped him because his stats were nowhere near that of Gerhart's, and because he plays in the Almost Considered a Conference.

I have to give an honorable mention to Mark Ingram. He hasn't had a Heisman season in my opinion, but I have a lot of friends that went to Alabama and they'd kill me if I left him off altogether.
