Magglio Merkin is an ‘06 Western Michigan alumnus who enjoys swearing, Saturdays in the Big House and slaying misinformed Internet commenters. He’s currently pursing a graduate degree at Michigan. He lives by the motto, “Drinking is Fun!”

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!

divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

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.

Team Wins Losses
TCU 6 0
BYU 6 1
Boston College 5 2
Notre Dame 4 2
SMU 3 3

Around the Interwebs

We haven’t done this in a while, we think it’s like riding a bike, but tell us if we’re doing it wrong.

Jenn Brown is college football’s newest sexy blonde and FOTP has her covered from all angles.

Fried Pies–An older woman’s outer lady business. (Vadge)

The thrill of victory and agony of defeat. Purdonkulous victory by the Boilers over the Buckeyes. Man, it was great being down there, and there’s no better way to leave a field than through the field gate surrounded by thousands of smiling fellow Boilers–Boilerdowd of Boiled Sports. The warriors draped in scarlet and gray are questioning accountability, desire and competence. Georgia Tech’s win over the Hokies had Winfield and Dane partying over at President Peterson’s house where afterward they no doubt retired home, zipped themselves into adult sized onesies, and watched bootlegged anime. Good game guys. From here on out we’re siding with BCO, one game at a time, and no it’s not all Brian Stinespring’s fault. And it can always be worse. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

Quick Hits From My Couch

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.

FSU Blackout Fail Quick Hits From My Couch

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.

    divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

    Nebraska 23 at Mizzou 21 – Let’s get frisky! Corn Nation and Rock M Nation are betting taglines on the outcome. Orson has this bitch factored and it’s not not looking good for the Huskers or, well, maybe it is… I like Nebraska because I saw man-child Roy Helu Jr. conquer the souls of eleven Virginia Tech defenders almost three weeks ago.

    Auburn 38 at Arkansas 31 – It’s goin’ be a shootout in Fayetteville. I give the edge to Auburn because they can put up points, and they’ll play better defense.

    Synecdoche, East Lansing

    56042887
    Hello, I hate you.

    Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true.
    You see a team that is 4-0 against a team that is 1-3.
    You see a ranked team apparently on the verge of some great season.
    You see a team that is disappointingly staring their entire season in the eye in only week 5.

    Michigan Football: Back?

    It was a long and lonely trip through a horrible fog to Ann Arbor last Saturday. When you are driving east on I-96 you really don’t see anything, but State fans until after you pass Lansing… especially these days. I picked up my buddy Tuna a little east of Lansing just after 9AM and a funny thing happened, the fog lifted.

    Longest. Off Season. Ever.

    Go Blue

    I remember being a little kid watching the 1991 Rose Bowl in the basement with my dad. I can remember the summer sausage slices with the Club crackers that we never got to eat unless it was a special occasion. The walls were green paisley wallpaper and the carpet was orange and brown shag. Even though I didn’t know what was going on I can recall being very nervous as if the fate of the world relied on this single game. Continue Reading “Longest. Off Season. Ever.” »
