Picks: Vanderbilt
Oct. 11, 2012The alligatorSports crew will pile into the car today for a road trip to Nashville, Tenn., to watch Florida take on Vanderbilt. While we're on the road to the "Music City," what better way is there to pay homage to the county seat of Davidson County than by putting together a killer playlist for the ride? We could always crank up a little Elvis as we make detour to Graceland. Perhaps we'll all sit in stony silence as "Party in the U.S.A." plays on the radio while secretly freaking out in our minds. Nashville native Miley Cyrus is still hip, right? And then, who knows? We've been on the road at all hours of the night covering this beat like a bunch of "Ramblin' Men" and "Midnight Rider(s)," just like the Nashville-based Allman Brothers Band. There will be music, and there will be football. Nashville seems like a nice place.

Big Bird should not be an issue in election
Oct. 9, 2012The lovable figure from the children’s program “Sesame Street” entered the political fray amid presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s statements “I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS,” and “I like PBS. I love Big Bird ... I’m not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it.”

The oil industry is brainwashing you
Oct. 5, 2012During the pre-debate analysis, every single commercial break included at least one 30-second spot of propaganda from the fossil fuel industry and its brazenly vile lobbies. In fact, the event itself was partially sponsored — “brought to you by” — these dirty interest groups.
