Hot Link of the Day

Attorney, web site designer and all-around good guy LawVol wrote an excellent piece that’s right up my alley. It seems there’s trouble brewing between the Fan-Sided Network and their site StripeHype and the team they cover, the Cincinnati Bengals.
As LawVol made clear, most of us could give a rat’s ass about the Cincinnati Bengals, but this story deals with alleged trademark infringement. For those of you that have read my blog more than once (my three loyal readers notwithstanding), copyright and trademark law is a subject that hits home with me.
Take a moment to read this story at Gate21. It deals with an issue that is important for anyone having a web site and wants to learn something about trademarks. For further reading on this subject, you can view the article I wrote about copyright laws here.
With football season still nearly four months from the opening kickoff, some of us are getting antsy. For those of you that haven’t noticed this site in my links section, Picture Me Rollin is a great blog dedicated to the Alabama Crimson Tide. The author is a good guy, writes exceptionally well and happens to be someone I consider having very similar views to yours truly.
He wrote a review of the Tide’s schedule and as you can imagine, being a huge Vol fan, I took a particular interest on his thoughts regarding the annual Alabama-Tennessee game this season. An excerpt of what he had to say:
“It won’t matter; the tide has turned (no pun intended) on this rivalry, and for all the talk about renewed offense and improvement, this is Phillip Fulmer’s last season as the head coach. I don’t know why I believe this - it could very well be my utter loathing of the University of Tennessee - but I think they are in for a tumultuous season.”
Sigh. Now, as I said, I like this guy so please don’t visit his site and threaten him with bodily harm. But I would like you to pay him a visit and offer any counter points to his opinion. Take a moment and check out the whole article here and tell him what you think the mighty Vols are going to do to the Tide this year.
Speaking of the Vols, the NCAA announced sanctions against a host of schools for not meeting academic standards. Tennessee will lose one scholarship for the men’s basketball program as a result of these academic inefficiencies.
Not that it comes as any consolation, but the Vols aren’t alone. SEVENTY programs lost football and basketball scholarships because of their failure to meet the NCAA academic requirements; that number represents over 21% of NCAA schools participating in basketball alone.
