Vandy offensive line coach Herb Hand is a great guy and a fun Twitter follow. You can follow him on Twitter here. But yesterday Hand came face to face with the newest Twitter foil, someone who chose to Tweet obscene insults about his family.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the continued devolution of Twitter discourse. After all, Facebook is rapidly losing its popularity with the idiots out there, and those idiots have to go somewhere on the Internet. Of late they've picked Twitter. And I'm now to the point where I think you should have to pass a basic intelligence test to be allowed to Tweet. 

Recently, the number of people on Twitter who go after wives and kids is downright scary. 

Hell, even the mob leaves families alone.

But some on Twitter have a moral code that would even make mob bosses blush.  

Yesterday @julianbucio, a University of Tennessee fan who happens to be one of 100 or so people I have ever blocked on Twitter because he sent me similar messages attacking my family, Tweeted this to Coach Hand, "dude I think your wife is f---ing someone while you coach your pathetic football team. #slut"

Johnny Manziel continues to prove that his life is better than yours and mine.

Right now he's on spring break in Cabo.

Which is probably a lot better than what you're doing right now, pretending to work while reading Outkick the Coverage on a random Tuesday in March.

Yeah, Johnny wins.

Derek Dooley did not win very many football games in Knoxville.

But he did have one hell of a nice house that can you be yours for just $2.9 million.

The 8,818 square foot house on 17 acres features five bedrooms and eight bathrooms -- meaning Dooley's mansion had four more bathrooms than he did SEC wins in his Tennessee tenure. Dooley, who I'm already missing at Tennessee, is also a fan of boobs, as evidenced by the tasteful nude drawing hanging on the wall of the master bathroom.

I like to think that Dooley, much like George W. Bush, is also an artist.  

In the event you are in the market for a $3 million dollar Knoxville mansion you can check out all the photos here. 

I felt obligated to write this once I saw the Bull Pen was looking for stories about Celebrity Encounters.

While attending the University of Arkansas as an undergrad, my brother, two years my elder, has the idea to go to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. My birthday falls on a Friday so as he saw it, "It only makes sense to go." For many reasons, this was a very bad decision.

Since launching the Bull Pen in August 2012, we've received hundreds of your submissions on topics as diverse as skydiving, the English Premier League, Game of Thrones and of course, the SEC football experience from every angle. (View the original announcement here.) OKTC receives 600,000 unique visitors a month, so writing for us is an excellent way to get your stuff read. Below is a brief list of what we're looking for in a Bull Pen piece. 

It's mailbag time.

And y'all continue to deluge me with spectacular questions.

So much so that it's actually getting hard to pick the best ones.

As you can see, Katherine Webb is now posing for Vanity Fair in her underwear. When will people stop punishing her for being beautiful? My gosh, the world is such a horrible place. I don't know how she sleeps at night with how cruel and unkind everyone has been to her since Brent Musburger called her beautiful during the BCS title game. First Inside Edition at the Super Bowl, then the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, next a reality television show that's advertised during the Oscars, and now a Vanity Fair interview? 

It's just so unfair to her.

You can read her Vanity Fair interview here.

Our beaver pelt trader of the week is AJ McCarron. 

Why?

Because of his two new tattoos.  

Yesterday news broke that Time Warner was spinning off all of its magazines into an independent company. That includes the four most valuable brands in the Time Warner magazine empire, Time, Fortune, Money and Sports Illustrated. Why did Time Warner executives suddenly reverse course and jettison all the magazines instead of keeping the four biggest as they had previously intended? Because those executives had lost faith in the future of the magazine businesses. Now, Time Warner executives are far from infallible -- remember that AOL merger at the peak of the market? -- but for those of us paying attention to the sports media market, it's still an alarming move, SI has gone from the most valuable non-network brand in sports media a generation ago to a precarious position where its future as a major media brand is far from assured.

The decision to spin off SI isn't that much of a surprise since Turner recently bought Bleacher Report, an online venture founded in 2007, for around $200 million. If Turner was going to spend $200 million for Bleacher Report and end the CNN affiliation with Sports Illustrated in favor of Bleacher Report, it was hard to argue that SI made much sense under the same corporate structure. Why did Time Warner need two different sports entities? 

Put simply, it didn't.  

But for those interested in sports media the rapid decline of SI's newstand sales -- down 56% since 2007, the year Bleacher Report was founded -- and the loss of Turner/CNN as a major backer raises an interesting question, how long will the SI magazine exist in print form and can SI survive as a major force in today's market?

Just because a statistic doesn’t come from the Elias Sports Bureau doesn’t mean it’s not a statistic. That said, three out of every five American high schools have a Coach Mac. My Coach Mac is the head football coach.

Bama fans are dumb.

This is an irrefutable fact of life. Like saying gravity exists or Dana from "Homeland" should be written off the show via terrorist attack.

But even I'm sometimes shocked by how dumb they can be when it comes to tattoo decisions.

Enter the latest full back tattoo which was sent to me via this Twitter message last night..

Yes, that's really a skeleton and the word choice really does say: "Sons of Saban Alabama."

The Sons of Saban, as best I recall, began calling into Paul Finebaum's show about six or seven years ago. Now they have a new tattoo.

Immediately y'all began clamoring for me to feature this in the awkward fan photo deconstruction. Who am I to resist an opportunity to ridicule Bama fans? 

So without further ado, here we go, my 12 favorite things about this photo.

We're 12 days from the biggest cluser of the entire college basketball season, officially referred to as selection Sunday.  Like physics, each action in college basketball is part of a causal relationship that comes with an equal and opposite reaction. Our field of 68 doesn't rank teams based solely on their wins but rather by power potential derived from a blend of math metrics, overall performance, and relative strength of opponent.  You'll see with our updated rankings the team now being called America's #1 actually DROPPED in our poll this week because their resume doesn't appear nearly as strong now as it did in Vegas Bracketology 2.0.

It's officially March and madness has arrived in the SEC.

That's what happens when you have one good team and a whole heap of mediocrity.

In Friday's mailbag I attempted to forecast who would receive the top four seeds in next week's SEC basketball tournament here in Nashville.

Then chaos happened on Saturday.
