A Family Reunion, new shows and much more...

RAW held it's "season premiere" last night with a mix of all 3 of the WWE brands and I thought it presented a very intriguing storyline with the 3 champions that will no doubt lead to a tag match at Survivor Series. I SO hope that DX buries Edge and Orton b/c I really couldn't give a damn about those two guys to begin with.

Since I am now working for an ABC affiliate I've had the chance to catch some of their standard fare. I hate to admit it because it's such a girl show, but I am now hooked on Grey's Anatomy. I will actually give credit to Meg for this one because I never would've even heard of the show had it not been for her. I have yet to catch Desperate Housewives. The jury is still out on this one, but as of right now I'm leaning towards no. The same goes for Lost. Everybody seems to think that this is the best show since sliced bread. I beg to differ, that honor goes to 24. Lost is on tomorrow night so if I'm not around to watch I'll at least DVR it and watch it later. Also, in attempt to rip off 24, ABC announced that they will air the last 15 or so episodes in a row. No matter what though, NONE of these shows hold a candle to 24. PERIOD.


Alabama plays Ole Miss this Saturday and I will be in attendance. The Tide is looking to win two in a row to head in to Tennessee week 5-2. I'm hoping the running game can get on track and hopefully put a decent amount points on the board because Lord knows we'll need the offense clicking when we head to Knoxville next week. Coach Shula announced today that Marc Guillon has left the team and that will make Jimmy Barnes the new backup quarterback.

Jack gets "Shanghaied."

Well, the 24 season finale has come and gone and was the fastest two hours of television I've ever watched. From Henderson getting plugged in the first half hour to Logan digging his own political grave it was a superb finale. I had this thought in the back of my head all season wondering why the Chinese haven't reared their heads. Had they not heard Jack was still alive? Had they forgotten? Obviously neither were the case as Jack was taken by the Chinese Ambassador and is on a freighter bound for China by the name of "Shanghai" which was doubly appropriate. So, what does season 6 have in store? We know Heller is still alive...will he arrange a rescue mission for Jack? Will Curtis lead that mission? Will Jack escape a Chinese prison and proceed to kick a billion Chinese asses? January can't get here soon enough.


I'll be back later with RAW thoughts.

24 Finale TONIGHT!!!

Yes, the season finale of 24 begins in approximately 10 min. and the anticipation is building. Who will die? Who will live?

From all the reviews I've read it seems Judgment Day turned out to be a good PPV. I was SHOCKED when I saw Rey retained the title and almost equally shocked when I read that the Undertaker was pretty much squashed. I glad to see that Benoit and Finlay got 20 min to put on a good wrestling match. All indications seem to be that was the match of the night. I could've swore Rey would lose the belt last night. But I still think he loses it in the next month or so. Apparently he has some injuries that need work and will require some time off. So, I think he drops the belt on Smackdown here in the next couple of weeks

2006 SEC CHAMPIONS!!!

Yes, I know it's been six months....


congratulations to Head Coach Jim Wells and the Alabama Baseball Team on winning their 14th SEC Championship! Tommy Hunter pitched a complete game and set a new school record for most wins by a freshman pitcher(9). Let's go on to Hoover and bring home an 8th SEC Tournament Championship! ROLL TIDE!!!

Tomorrow night is the two hour season finale of 24. If anything less than President Logan getting an ass-whipping from Jack happens tomorrow night it'll be a bitter disappointment. They already pissed me off when they killed Tony, don't ruin the finale. I have no clue what will happen tomorrow night and as far as I can tell it seems from just watching it seems as if the only characters coming back next year are Jack, Chloe, Curtis, Audrey and maybe Buchanan and Mike Novick. Looking to be a spectacular season finale.

What about RAW? It seems like they're building towards towards two things right now....A DX reunion and the return of ECW. Now, if they can manage to get out of their own way this will be best months of WWE TV in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to what they have planned for the summer months. BTW, if RVD does not beat John Cena at One Night Stand they better have the NYPD riot squad on standby because it could get ugly and fast. I would much rather see Van Dam beat JBL at ONS because Smackdown! is sorely lacking in main event face talent. Benoit will never see the top again because creative is retarded. Kurt Angle is wrestling on borrowed time. Rey Mysterio is injured and is just not believable as a top guy. The Undertaker is only there half the time and Batista is proving to be snakebit with injury. So, in my opinion, it would make sense if RVD challenges JBL after JBL beats Rey tonight for the title.

I won't see Judgment Day tonight, so I'll post my uneducated opinion based on posted results sometime tomorrow.
