Happy Veterans’ Day to all the actual soldiers out there.

The Entire Nike Pro-Combat uniform collection, sloganized. A must have for every jersey whore. We took a look at the Hokies’ “Good Guys Wear White” inspired duds yesterday and we stated it could’ve been worse. We were right, click the link and check out LSU, FSU and Miami.

Eye-Gouging revisited. Tomahawk Nation busts out the video and still evidence of Clemson’s Andre Branch digging into David Spurlock’s facemask with what looks to be an attempt at the eye-rake. We didn’t agree with the Brandon Spikes’ suspension and we don’t agree with FSUncensored calling for Branch to be shelved. Take it away Willy Mac.

Ok, yes. It’s very obvious that Branch was being a dick and getting a little extra in after the play. That wasn’t eye gouging though. He may have tried, but it didn’t happen. He was definitely ripping at his neck, but that’s very common for a fumble scrum. Football is a mean, nasty game. And guess what? To play it at that level, you have to be a mean and nasty person to get by. Branch is a mean and nasty person. So is Spurlock. They wouldn’t be starting if they both weren’t this caliber of player.

Agree. In the words of Ron Cherry “giving him the business” is as much a part of football as the hand off or forward pass (or in Virginia Tech’s case the screen pass). If it’s called during the game, that’s fair, because it was obvious. Unless an eye popping out goes unnoticed let sleeping dogs lie.

We all have high definition televisions in our living rooms so why don’t the replay officials in the SEC? Perhaps they aren’t early adopters, or they’ve already budgeted all that $2.25 billion from ESPN…

    Rumors? Rumblings? Real of fake? Just talk or maybe happening? Let us know all knowing CGB.

    I think it’s more “thinking out loud”. I don’t really see how swapping WVU for BC would make the ACC that much better. From 2004-08 BC is 48-17 while WVU is 50-13. It definitely makes more geological sense. In order for the conference to become the powerhouse it was built to be, we need to either consistently put two teams into the BCS or have legit National Championship contenders.

    I hate the Eagles, but I don’t want the Couch Burners to replace them.

    NoleCC If that’s not a ringing endorsement then I don’t know what is. Awaiting a response from Brian.
