Around the Interwebs

Cocktail Chronicle. By the end of the first quarter Saturday, outside the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville, a drunken mass of humanity sprawls in baking parking lots and beneath cool shade trees, the largest collection of people in America who cannot walk in straight lines. By now, the ratio of men to women has shifted, perhaps for the only time all day, to something approaching equal numbers. Women wearing bikini tops and tight dresses warble on flip flops or bare feet, men, Florida fans mostly, have discarded their shirts and stand bare-chested in the bright sunshine propositioning women as they pass. Required reading continues here.
No one wants to play the Broncos, well except for Virginia Tech. And can you blame them? The Broncos are an unknown quantity, there’s no blueprint on how to beat them and a win against them by a BCS power is worthless and not worth the ante. “Yeah… well you should beat Boise.” “You guys lost to Boise!?”
Darren Evans is healing up faster than anyone could have anticipated and hasn’t been ruled out of the bowl game. We hope he’s feeling 100% by January and he’s able to travel with the team, but if he’s suited up for that game we will lose our fucking shit. It’s not worth pushing it only to re-injure yourself.
Failure and Excellence. Virginia Tech is FoxSports.com second most disappointing team. Shouldn’t that read our second biggest fuck up? No Hokie fan with sensibility and a half functioning brain pegged us to win the National Championship this year and as far as the ACC race goes there’s still more than a month of football to be played. And it’s the best Tim Tebow costume because the guy found a midget to ride his face snug to his junk for an entire evening.
The South will rise again? No good sir the South rose long ago (Shepard Smith’s words not mine). Ole Miss wants students to cut that shit out. If you’re not going to listen to the man then listen to Bunkie.
Football Fan Art, one of my favorite, but not regular enough, Block-C features is back. And, no, this guy has never been to y’all’s site.

If Oregon beat Boise St. they are ranked what #?
In my poll they would be 1 but I’m guessing even after the USC destruction the normal pollsters would still slot them below Texas, Bama and Florida.

I would have them ranked 4th, because the Boise win would then seem less impressive.

True… but wouldn’t the Cal, Utah, Boise, USC quad look as good if not better than Okie St., TT, Okie- sans Bradford, or perhaps even VT, Ole Miss, Auburn UGA?

But not everything has to be resume based. For example I think Alabama, Florida and Texas have more talent and more experienced coaches who have all won a national championship. I think you need to base rankings on a bunch of things especially before the season is completed.
