Have you ever wanted to read an in depth, and we’re talking cavity search deep, explanation of how the BCS works and why it sucks so much? If you pressed one on your touch-tone phone check out this great post by Amphibious Sports Duo.
Tommy Tuberville who has the fine distinction of going 12-0 in the SEC and not getting a chance to play for National Championship resigned fired from Auburn yesterday.
Nick Saban is a little pissed off at all the SEC firings.
I really question some of the judgment relative to how it is for our game that people who have those kind of relationships and have done that kind of job and affected so many people in a positive way - and have had a reasonable amount of success relative to their circumstances - would not be given more respect and consideration than what these guys have been. So I guess we’re 5-7 away from the same thing.
Texas still has a chance to play for the National Championship. Expect an upheaval from Jort National if this scenario unfolds.
Washington has been in contact with Mike Leech. Look U-Dub if you want to seal the deal you will change your nickname from the Huskies to the Pirates.

It will be Oklahoma, not Texas, versus Missouri this Saturday for the Big 12 Championship. Horns fans if you are pissed off just blame Mack Brown.
Brown has a vote in the Coaches’ Poll, one of two polls balanced against the BCS computer rankings to determine the overall BCS Standings. Instead of voting for his Longhorns as the nation’s No. 1 team, Brown picked someone else (we’re betting undefeated Alabama). Two voters picked Oklahoma No. 1. The result? The Sooners end up with a one vote edge in the Coaches’ Poll… and with an edge of less than two-tenths of a poll in the BCS Standings.
Dabo Swinney will be the next coach at Clemson. In just six weeks his charisma alone has impressed me. I will go on the record as saying this will turn out to be a great hire. It also lowers Hokie Nation’s blood pressure levels, because it is looking good we will retain Bud Foster for another year.
Praise the College Football + Pantomime Gods for inspiring this video and EDSBS for finding it.
Is a Boise State, Ball State undefeateds wet dream Bowl possible? I hope so, that way once they lose Whitlock will shut up.

H/T EDSBS and LSUfreek for being so damn awesome.
Is this the best sign we’ve seen all year? I think so.
Chase Daniel has a FUPA becomes a lot funnier once you know what a FUPA is.
Any reference to Lee Corso’s merkin makes me giggle like a school girl.
First Fulmer is eating signs and now Chase is taking bites out of signs.
Lou Holtz still wets the bed too.
Clemson is this year’s Michigan and Chunk Daniel likes to do the truffle shuffle.
He likes them because they a tasty NOT because he is fairy!
Great work to everyone who made signs. The Texas signs definitely place in my top 3 of the year, although no one stepped up and answered the GameDay Challenge.
I saw these on TechSideline.com this morning and had to share. Does anyone know where they originated from?
- Stick to the fundamentals early in the week when preparing for the game on Saturday. Clean the flask, study the spread, talk some early trash, but stay focused. Make any bets early…alcohol and emotion are sure ways to get your ass in a bind around kickoff. I recommend locating your game tickets now and handing them over to someone less emotionally involved. Try not to get drunk before Thursday…if you peak too early in the week, you might leave your edge in a bar and not have it when you need it come game day.
- Suspend all health related activities at least 10 days prior to kickoff. The last thing you need is a clean system going into the fairgrounds. Prepare for the onslaught of sugar, carbs and alcohol that awaits you on Saturday. Have a pizza. You want to be concerned with your teams ability to stop the runs, not your own.
- Get as absolutely hammered as you can on Friday night. I recommend meeting with some buddies early for happy hour and getting so drunk that you are late for your dinner reservations or even miss them all together. If you want to take it up a notch, don’t call your wife or girlfriend to tell her where you are or answer her calls while she is trying to find you. This will obviously piss her off something fierce, but she is going to get pissed off sometime during the weekend anyway…so set the tone early and get it over with. Look at it as helping prepare her for how it’s going to be on Saturday when you are again so shit faced you can’t see and spend the entire day completely ignoring her.
