A couple of notes

1) Can't believe he didn't give me appropriate credit for the John Kruk thing.

2) I wonder if he'll **** punch Holly Anderson for me? #bigboned

I lost all respect for Grantland when I realized Bill was a complete jackass. Not only does he not know 1/2 of what he claims to be an expert on, his bias is so annoying.

His writers seem to have the same douche-baggery. If you're a fan of atmosphere, you'll be a fan of his Gamecocks. If you're a fan of high school cheerleading, you'll like MSU. Got it.

You're right every journalist is out to get us. He named 5 college teams in the country worth following and referred to us a team that likes to have fun and compared us to the 2004 Red Sox. We should sue for libel.

It was an odd nod of the cap. Happy to be mentioned but our atmosphere is what deserves respect.
You can go back to dogging esplanade's opinion now.

Not upset he mentioned us, and we're certainly going to be fun to watch.

Simmons didn't write this article, so I obviously wasn't referring to him having a bias against us. All I'm saying is Grantland is garbage and is one step above BR.

Sorry, I should have separated the two thoughts to prevent your pannies from getting in a wad.

It was a weird *** nod comparing us to a high school marching band with him interjecting his alma mater as a must-see.

Grant land is about 50 steps above bleacher report. They're not trying to be CNN, folks.
