Quick Hits: Fighting Ducks, Free Chicken, Mayor's Race, Football

Agree with University of Oregon 100% for suspending running back LeGarrette Blount for the rest of the season. His reaction to the taunt of a low class Boise player (Byron Hout) was extreme, but taking a swing at teammates and then having to be restrained after attempting to take his bad-self to the stands was egregious. For future incidents, Oregon players only need to remember, what would Daffy, Donald, Howard or the Aflac duck do?

To Byron Hout, act like you've been there before. Hout would most likely have received some type of discipline for his bush league antics, but getting jacked on Sportscenter over and over again for his embarrassing actions is punishment enough.

Who doesn't like free stuff? Chik-fil-a is giving away free chicken sandwiches on Monday to guests wearing college logo t-shirts. Memphis-area locations are already slammed everyday, so get there early. Heck, you might want to tailgate while you are waiting in line.

The special election for the mayor of Memphis is now officially a cluster. Ten candidates would be too many, but Memphians are blessed with 28. At this rate, the winner may only get 20% of the vote. Hopefully, some of the candidates will drop out.

The first weekend of college football continues to roll today. Week 1 is known for blowouts against lesser competition, but Virginia Tech/Alabama and Georgia/Oklahoma State will be two top-notch early season match ups.

Week 1 picks
Rhodes over Westminster (MO)
Tennessee-Knoxville over Western Kentucky
Oklahoma State over Georgia
Virginia Tech over Alabama
Southern Miss over Alcorn State
Ole Miss over Memphis
