And the moral of the story: never lose your inner pirate or coach will help you find it.

Mike Leach Suspended. The Pirate Captain allegedly confined Adam James (son of Pony Craig James) in a dark electrical closet because he wouldn’t practice with a concussion. And BONUS Craig won’t be working the Alamo Bowl. When you’re on the ship and you disobey the captain you get tossed in the brig, obviously Leach improvised.

The Wesley College Amphetamines versus The Naropa University Tailors in the Wizards of the Coast Gooseberry Bowl. Can you say Magic The Gathering Cards for the bowl swag? Yes we had some fun playing around with a bowl game generator that hit our inbox this evening. And for the record we’re taking the Amphetamines, they’ve had their eyes on the prize and haven’t blinked since their last fix. We encourage you to leave your zaniest creation in the comments.

Peach Bowl. Stay tuned, as the closer we approach kickoff the more our levels of Vol hate and coverage will increase. For now Gobbler Country has a Q&A with Rocky Top Talk and Vols in the Fall makes a good argument that the Hokies are ultimately playing to beat the SEC patch.

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.

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.

1. Virginia Tech-Nebraska. The Hokies look to sweep the two-year two-game series with Nebraska. The Huskers are improved, hungry and capable of gorging themselves full of turkey. Thoughts?
2. BYU-Florida State. With a win BYU can tout an impressive out of conference resume that could be enough to send them to the MNC. Florida State is looking to prove they’re the proverbial “back”. Thoughts?
   H/T: Mike Bianchi
3. Texas-Texas Tech. How many points will the ‘Horns win by or are you going “guns up”? Thoughts?
4. Boise State-Fresno State. Any time, anywhere (except on the Smurf Turf). Well Pat Hill you got ‘em at home. Thoughts?
5. Big Ten Redemption. OSU and Toledo tangle in front of a crowd with brown bags over their heads. Sparty travels to South Bend to crash Charlie Weis’ buffet line. Thoughts?
6. Arkansas-Georgia. The only time pigs and dogs get along together is in Vietnamese cuisine. They are both relatively unknown quantities.  But more importantly, were Mark Richt and Christopher Walken separated at birth? Thoughts?
