Wednesday Night Dawg Bites: John Isner, "The 12 Pack," and Your Chance to be a Guest Poster

For the second straight day, I’ve been away from my computer throughout the course of the business day, so, while I hope to get back to regular posting tomorrow, I have a couple or three notes to share in the interim. These are they:

• John Isner will take on Nicolas Almagro in the second round at Wimbledon tomorrow. This will be the first meeting between the two players, and, while Almagro is the higher-ranked of the two, Isner should benefit from the grass court, which is why observers are projecting an Isner victory on Thursday.
• My family’s and my annual vacation is upcoming, which means there will be a week in early July in which my posting will be sporadic (assuming, of course, that our athletic director doesn’t get arrested for drunk driving while in the company of a woman other than his wife with her panties in his lap). If anyone is interested in participating as a guest poster in my absence, please leave a comment below to that effect, and I will contact as many of you as are needed.
• The SB Nation Conference Re-Draft proceeds apace, and the conference featuring the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, and UCLA Bruins has been christened "The 12 Pack." The league’s logo reflects the strength of the conference:

Go ‘Dawgs!
