Etching Super Mario Brothers power ups into your head is the new hotness. I’m jealous.

But, not even a Power Star/Starman could help Jacory and Miami against Whiskey in the Champs Sports Bowl. However, it’s a bitching fade and shave so perfectly executed that it at least deserves the reverse angle look.

Now go find that lost swagger Jacory.

Since this is a heads-up recruiting battle between Michigan and Virgina Tech I figured it would be relelvant to let you in on a few small blurbs from Josh Furman recently via Rivals.com

Because a Snuggie won’t do when the weather outside is frightful during the Joelidays.

Delany’s Dozen. Big Ten Expansion has been the hot topic during this brief college football sabbatical. We tossed out our (reasonable) suggestions awhile ago. But we hope the Big Ten goes hard at Texas and Nebraska; let chaos reign. Dan Shanoff has an interesting take and thinks Navy as a football only member makes perfect sense. His thesis is built upon the idea that a championship game isn’t a factor for Big Ten expansion. Whether it is or isn’t, we think it is, there will be a Big Ten Championship Game if the conference expands. No money will be left on the table.

U Inspired Dynasties. Conquest Chronicles serves up some spicy food for thought. Was the Trojan’s “modern-day” dynasty on par with Miami’s? If everything else is a push we’ll take Miami solely for the Vice City nightlife. Although, one thing we’ll point out is Miami had 3 consensus and 1 split Media National Championships, while USC had only 1 and 1. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

Early this morning, a historic moment occurred on the campus of Ohio State University: The University of Michigan flag was raised outside of both Orton Hall and University Hall.

The Mirror Lake Jump: past, present and future.

Mark Mangino, the man Brent Musburger called The Big Teddy Bear, is a fat and a volatile dickhead. Jason Whitlock thinks Mangino being obese is at the heart of his problems and rage. So much for the jolly fat man stereotype. I disagree, but whatever the cause, incidents like this (via edsbs.com) have overshadowed the turnaround and miracle working he’s done on the field at Kansas.

I told him this wasn’t relevant to this ticket and he said “This job gives you power, doesn’t it? You feel real fucking powerful walking around like a big shot…He got back in his car eventually, “You just don’t like talking to me because I’m ethnic, just because I talk with my hands.” He then went on to tell me how important he was to this university and how he doesn’t have time to spend dealing with this crap.

Virginia Tech @ Maryland – If you’re looking for a preview of the game you won’t find that here. If those are things of interest to you then check out Gobbler Country’s What to Watch or Testudo Times. The only thing that matters in this fashion show game is that the Hokies win so I win a blogger bet with our friends at Girls Don’t Know Sports. The winner of said bet gets to defile the other’s banner atop their blog which will remain in place for a week. Please don’t fuck this up Hokies.

I know what you are thinking. How can Rich Rod not be the worst at everything imaginable, ever, right? Are you sure he is actually good at something? We haven’t heard about one thing he is good at besides being the losing-est loser ever, LOL. We want Jim Harbaugh and his shitty education!

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.

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.

This is a weekend of under cards, but let’s take a look at the inner beauty.

Florida State 28 @ North Carolina 26 – To date this is the least exciting Thursday night game of the season. FSU is fighting for bowl eligibility and North Carolina needs a big win at home to feed their fan base. The ‘Noles have proven they can put up points while North Carolina has struggled  to find their groove. FSU’s defense has been suspect, but is good enough to hold the Heels in check.

South Florida 13 @ Pittsburgh 20 – Don’t punch me in the balls Wanstache.

Georgia Tech 27 @ Virginia 17 – From here on out, for obvious reasons, I’ll have my eye on Georgia Tech. For those who turn a blind eye to ACC football, Virginia Tech needs our engineering brethren in the Dirty to lose so we control our own destiny in the ACC again. The Jackets haven’t won in Charlottesville since 1990, but unfortunately their offense will be too much for the Cavs to handle. They’ll grind out the clock and UVA will waste half of their precious possessions.

Boston College 27 @ Notre Dame 30 – Brian and Jeff took some time away from knitting new tights for dance class to take a look at the history between the Eagles and Irish. The Eagles are riding a six game winning streak into South Bend, but we’re picking the Irish because Boston College has been outscored 21-73 on the road this year. The winner will receive representation in the Jesus graphic above. Current Jesus Cup standings have been provided for your convenience.
