Dear Peter Pan Complex Staff (hello, squarre!),

I wanted to wish you all a happy new year! Although the blogging has ceased (except for you, squarre!) and, let's face it, the enthusiasm has all but died (except for you, squarre!), nevertheless, in the spirit of renewal and forgiveness, I pardon you all for the death of the blog (except for you, squarre! you need no pardon!) and for the death of my dream to become a professional blogger. Happy New Year!!

Love,
cam

P.S. I was going to write a rant about a friend who told me he would leave the country if Hillary Clinton became president and the facebook group by a similar name and how ludicrous that was considering how fucked the current administration is and I don't see any of them leaving the country now but whoa if a democratic, liberal woman becomes president they claim they'll leave the fucking country and become ex-pats. BUT MITT ROMNEY!?!?! I did a little facebook search for both and the number of anti-hillary groups was by far greater than the number of anti-mitt romney groups and seriously? And if I have to see one more thing about how Hillary should have left Bill over a stupid blow-job but nevermind that GeorgeW was a druggie and really? BJ or drugs? BJ or drugs? One has potentially harmful effects on the brain and body, while the other, unless a coldsore is involved, DOES NOTHING. And there I go making Hillary about Bill...

Some more new golf clubs for 2008 from Golfwrx. This time they bring us the new Bridgestone J36 series of irons and hybrids and the West Coast Liquid Copper wedges. The irons include the J36 blades, cavity, and pocket cavity irons. They are some pretty good looking irons and there are choices for various skill levels. Golfwrx says the new hybrids are an "extension of last year's Gravity Chamber hybrid." The new wedges have a fully milled face, raw oil can finish, and variable bounce technology.

2008 MacGregor Irons and Wedge

MacGregor is a classic name in golf equipment, but in recent years it hasn't had the popularity of other OEMs. Here are some more pictures from Golfwrx. The new irons and wedges could bring them back into the equipment wars. The Pro C and Pro M irons are both very classic looking. The thread also reports there will be a combo set with long irons in the Pro C and short irons in the Pro M. The new MT Pro wedge by Don White also looks very good (as you can see available in 2 different finishes). There will also be 3 sets in the MT iron series that will be more forgiving and cater to a wider range of players. The picture below is of the MT. There will also be an MT-Mid (midsize) and MT-OS (oversize).






David Greene Update


After this post in October David Greene was cut from the Patriots practice squad to make room for another tight end. On December 6, he was signed to the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs. There were rumors that he would be activated for last week's game but that never came into being. This article reports that he has had tryouts with Buffalo, Dallas, and Tennessee this year.

New 2008 Callaway Irons

We have had some of the new 2008 Titleist equipment in previous posts. Here are a few of the new 2008 offerings from Callaway. The pictures are again from Golfwrx. The new offerings include the FT irons, BB06, and the FT i-brid. Golfwrx indicates the release date will be January 15, 2008 for all of the sets. As you can see the FT irons look like an update of the Fusion. The BB06 is obviously the new version of the super game improvement Big Bertha series. Finally, FT i-brid is a extra super game improvement iron. Click the pictures for bigger images.

Adios Bobby Petrino


Well the Bobby Petrino experiment is officially over in Atlanta. For those of that haven't heard he resigned yesterday afternoon and in an 11:30 pm et press conference was announced as the new coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks. The announcement came on the heels of Arthur Blank's comments on Monday night that Petrino would be the coach for a long time and that the team's struggles this year were not his fault. Understandably Blank feels betrayed by his former head coach.

The thing that really gets me about the resignation is the fact that Petrino wrote a letter to the team to resign. I mean why can't you have a team meeting? Understandably many members of the team are quite upset today. Check out the picture of what Lawyer Milloy did to his letter. Falcons players - from Milloy to DeAngelo Hall to last year's first round pick out of Arkansas Jamaal Anderson all bashed Petrino today. Not that your players liked you before, but now everyone hates you. Way to quit Bobby.

Jack Nicklaus '86 Masters Video

So I was only 6 years old in 1986 when Jack won his 18th professional major at age 46, but I remember coming home from grandparent's house in Augusta and watching the end of the final round with my dad. Here is a great 10 minute video with highlights from the final round.

More New Titleist Irons - AP2 and ZB

Some more new Titleist irons for 2008 from Golfwrx. This time they bring us pictures of the new AP2 and ZB combo set. Click pictures for bigger images. These are a couple of the other news irons mentioned in the previous blog post on the ZM Forged Blades.





GT Coaching Rumors


So I was going to make a post about candidates for the Georgia Tech Football job, but now I am just sick of all the rumors. A couple of days ago Will Muschamp was the favorite to take the job and message board rumors put the probability of him being the next coach at 80%. Then he was apparently rejected by the the Board due to his ties with the University of Georgia. If that is the real reason I don't know what to think. Last week we had the rumors that Rick Neuheisel was going to get the job - thankfully this hasn't happened. Charlie Strong, Chris Hatcher, and Randy Edsall are reported to have interviewed. Oh yeah - Jimbo Fisher and Bobby Petrino were mentioned as well. Yesterday I even saw a rumor mentioning Kentucky offensive coordinator Joker Phillips as a candidate.

Today, Paul Johnson is on campus interviewing according to Tony Barnhart at the AJC. However, some rumors are floating around that he is out and is going to take the SMU job (he also interviewed at Duke). Barnhart also says that Johnson may not take the job if offered and that if he does not Jon Tenuta is the leading candidate. But then another rumor says that Hatcher will again be considered.

I know I missed some of the "candidates" but this is all I can remember. Unfortunately Paul Johnson's agent isn't in the office today so I can't ask him what is going on. Maybe I should just wait until the official announcement so I don't drive myself crazy.
