ONE MORE TIME
A comment by Joe Lee III
Mississippi’s top two football teams would bring $211 million on the open market, according to calculations appearing in the Wall Street Journal last week.
Ole Miss would bring $111.7 million, and Mississippi State would bring $99.3 million, according to calculations by Assistant Professor of Finance Ryan Brewer at Indiana University - Purdue University Columbus. He studied revenues, expenses, cash flow trends, and other items that might be used in calculating the value of a pro-football team.
Ole Miss ranked 49th and State ranked 55th.
Leading the list is Texas with a calculated value of $761.7 million.
Alabama is 8th at $476 million, and LSU is 9th at $471.7 million.
The NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars sold in 2011 for $760 million, according to the WSJ.
How about that SEC!
Can you believe the Rebels and the Crimson Tide? Wow!
At halftime one of the television announcers asked the Notre Dame coach what could be done to see that his team started having a better game.
“Maybe if Alabama doesn’t come back in the second half,” the coach answered candidly. “It’s all about Alabama,” he added. He was right.
Even MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski got into the act.
Morning Joe viewers are accustomed to her frequent display of complete lack of understanding of the principles of individualism, freedom, and hard work upon which this country was founded, and her total ignorance of sound fiscal policy, but the day after the Alabama-Notre Dame game, she showed a new level of isolation from the real world.
Announcer drooling
She was astounded at the ESPN announcer’s “drooling over a beauty queen in the audience.”
“It was lecherous,” she complained.
She was referring to a video cutaway during the game showing the Alabama quarterback’s girlfriend.
The announcer commented on the young lady’s beauty. The Auburn student to which he was referring is Miss Alabama.
He told his fellow announcer: “You quarterbacks get all the good looking women.”
“If you’re a youngster in Alabama, start getting the football out and throw it around the back yard with pop,” he commented. Sound advice.
What is wrong with his statements?
Needs calendar
Has Mika never heard of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders?
What about majorettes and homecoming maids? Why does she think they go on the field? To mow the grass?
Count me in with the announcer. I went to a football game about 50 years ago, saw a Rebelette, and she is still twirling me around her fingers.
(Note to Mika: ‘Rebelette’ is Mississippi for ‘majorette.’)
Somebody needs to send Ms. Brzezinski a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader calendar.
