Get your repenting on non-worthy mortals because Jesus is back.

Feel free to sleep in, or get an extra day of worship in, because there isn’t one game before 3:30 worth getting up for.

Wake Forest 24 @ Georgia Tech 42 – Wake is usually good for one big ACC road win a year, and so for they are oh-for. But there’s no way in hell (pun intended) they’re coming away with a win from Bobby Dodd.

Bradford doll, love it.

FAIL, but seriously that mustache was awesomesauce.

This is our new Thursday night thread. We hope YOU our readers and friends in the blogosphere pop your heads in and engage in a little conversation.

Cincinnati 30 @ South Florida 21 – I’m taking Cinci because of Tony Pike, Tony Pike and Tony Pike. He’s been a machine and the Bearcats have won on the road in a tougher venue (Corvallis, Oregon [St]). I’ll be focused on the play of B.J. Daniels and how he responds playing in his first major home game. The boys in green over at Sparty like Cinci too.

Oklahoma 38 versus Texas 31 – I haven’t been impressed with Texas lallygagging against Wyoming, Texas Tech and Colorado. I have a man-crush on Sam Bradford; respect the golf skills. On the outside (and I stress outside) chance VT runs the table we’ll need helping getting to the MNC and a Sooner win would be just that. So my pick is based 25% with my head and 100%heart, because I’M ALL HEART BABY. And for shits and grins: know your rivalry.

This week the fabulous (Tim Gunn voice) Texas Longhorns blog Barking Carnival is hosting the BlogPoll Roundtable. We’re not worthy.

1. Mack Brown has won three out of the last four games in Dallas against OU. Meanwhile, Bob Stoops continues to pile up Big 12 trophies like NCAA inquiries. With the presumption that Mack will hang up his concho belt in the next two years in deference to the undeniable coaching force that is Will Muschamp, how does this year’s Texas/OU game define Mack Brown’s legacy? Texas wins and it’s likely Pasadena bound. A loss would likely cement this depressing statistic: a 7th conference championships for OU vs one in 12 years under Mack Brown, which was delivered by some guy named Vince Young.

If you had asked me this before the 13-0 Vince Young championship season I would have defined Mack Brown’s legacy as whiny underachiever. However, since 2004 he has put Texas’ surplus of talent to work. The Horns are 56-8 (second only to USC 59-6) with a BCS Championship and three wins over Oklahoma. A win against the Sooners this year would most likely yield a second Big 12 Championship and BCS Championship Game appearance. If Texas can accomplish all of that this year then I believe he’ll be remembered as a slow starter that turned Texas back into an elite program. Otherwise he may go down as a one-hit-wonder.

Example One-Hit-Wonder

2. Flipping the lens, does another OU loss — 4/5 to Texas, 0/5 in the last five BCS bowls — permanently establish Big Game Bob as an overrated, overpaid coach disguised as an asshole? At least sweater vest is an all around nice guy. I just feel sorry for Tressel when he comes up short in big games. When Stoops does it I cackle in a spasmatic fit of primeval laughter. So the natives are getting restless in Norman, and by natives I mean the people that stole the land from the natives that actually lived there. Who neeeds to win a big game more: Bob Stoops, Jim Tressel, or Mark Richt?

I disagree on the Sweater Vest. He gets so deep under my skin no ointment or balm can quell how irritated and aggravated I get. No one is that perfect and it’s as if he’s over compensating for something. I’ll digress, the answer to your question is Mark Richt and it’s not even close. Both Stoops and Tressel have get out out jail free cards crystal balls. Furthermore, Oklahoma and Ohio State are the premier teams in their conferences, routinely winning their respective championships and more often than not getting back to the BCS Championship Game. Meanwhile in Athens Richt and Georgia haven’t been to the SEC Championship Game since 2005 and they’ve taken a backseat to rivals Florida and Georgia Tech. After losses to LSU and Tennessee Georgia is hemorrhaging blood and Richt needs that big win Band-Aid.

My thoughts on Saturday that you will probably disagree with.

Nighttime in Death Valley was a letdown. Tebow, for the most part, was kept out of the shit and did just enough. LSU’s offense was lousy and because of that the Tigers were never a threat to win the game.

Blackout Fail. Doak was a sea of Garnet and Gold and three coeds fought a movement backed by thousands of no-show forum warriors.

The commissioner’s office has notified Vanderbilt that Commodores’ fans have lost the right to chant, “ESS EEE CEE (repeat ad nauseam)” after their 13-16 loss to Army.

Hokies, we can have offense too? Who the hell is Jim Drunkenmiller anyways?

So far, Texas has been sleepwalking through their schedule. The alarm goes off for Oklahoma this week.

Rich Rod was looking Einsteinian after he pulled Forcier in the fourth quarter and replaced him with Denard Robinson. He promptly lead Michigan to score. Then on Michigan’s final possession Robinson sealed Iowa’s win after he was picked.

I’m convinced I could lead Texas Tech on a scoring drive. Red Raiders’ backup QB Steven Sheffield threw for 7 TDs.

Alabama is the most complete team. Ole Miss is the most disappointing team.

Houston is 3-0 (Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Mississippi State) against the BCS and 0-1 against Conference USA.

A Sooner fan held this up during the Oklahoma rout of Missouri. This is just a huge fuck you from Oklahoma to Texas.
