I'm a little beat from seething/texting/twittering all day yesterday (and from that 30 minutes on the Gazelle) to think in story form today.  So I'm Claying in.

Yoda posted part I of his Lexington trip over at STF.

The short-handed Volunteers basketball squad kicks off SEC play tonight at Auburn.  The Vols are a 14 point home favorite in this game.  You can expect more full court pressure from Bruce Pearl in this one that in either of the Vols last two wins (Charlotte and Kansas) but it will take another hot-shooting day to win big.  I like the Vols, but not by 15.  Next up for the War Eagles, a visit by the 17-0 Wildcats.  Yeesh.  Thank you very much Mike Slive.

Gonzaga takes on St. Mary's out west tonight on the deuce.  Let me know how that one finishes.

I had never heard of TJ Simers until last night, when he blew up Lane Kiffin's first USC presser, but I like him now.  What?  I have a soft spot for funny grumpy crumudgeons, and I hope to become one someday very soon.

From Simer's article:

I asked for clarification from The Kid because if he hadn't talked to Orgeron how did he know if the reports were inaccurate? Later, of course, we would find out they were not inaccurate. At that point it was like talking to one of my daughters, caught doing something wrong and when challenged and having nothing to say, it never stopped them from trying to double-talk their way out of it.

Ed Orgeron admitted at the least, being an unethical douchebag, and at the most, cheating.

Go here for more zingers like this: "Jeff Lebo’s team must take on Bruce Pearl and Tennessee, in Knoxville, to boot. Game is at 7 on ESPN2. Not sure if there will be much crowd there, however. Isn’t the Tennessee student body on its way to Los Angeles to lynch Lane Kiffin?"

ZING!

This is funny. "...me too"

Last thing, If you're a Vols fan, you should be following @wesrucker.  Guy's got quotes for days.
