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.

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.

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.

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” »

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.

Jesus in the house. What? What?

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.

Make it rain. Saturday’s forecast calls for 1-2 inches of rain and agony. Inclement weather always makes for more interesting contests and in most cases turns a game into a defensive struggle, advantage Hokies. furrer4heisman has posted his spectacular game guide, What to Watch. Obviously we’re going to be keeping our eye on Bro Montana.

Orson + Paint explain why tOSU takes more shit than Oklahoma for their recent #fail. It’s a logical explanation that will make graphic artists everywhere cringe. However, we do think general disdain for the Sweater Vest is part of the formula. Oh wait, that is also explained by Orson’s model. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

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?
   

Ricky Speaks. I think by now everyone has seen Alabama Ricky’s Rant after a personal foul call during the VT-Alabama game, but if you haven’t watch it below.

Warning: NSFW (yes we curse here, but Ricky drops N-Bombs)

Bunkie from FOTP tracked down Ricky and did a follow up interview with him and boy is it a hoot.

FOTP: Do you have a memory of your greatest rant/meltdown during a football game?

The year Brody Croyle got sacked about 11 times during the Auburn game….I started throwing things out the back  door….including my truck keys and then had to find them.

Relatively speaking, this is only a mildly funny excerpt; translation the entire thing is a must read.

Fallout in Columbus. Before the game everyone and everything was chaotic, but loyal. Orson chronicled game day in Cbus and as you would expect Columbus is like any other batshit crazy football town with a drinking problem. After the loss dissension ran down the ranks at right about the same time Chris dropped this dressing down of Jim Tressel’s offensive scheme. Chris’ article is well written and poignant. From our own experiences we can say the one positive to having a conservative offense is having a tenacious well rested defense. With that said, you still need to be able to score points and sustain drives. Eleven Warriors has posted the five things tOSU fans should take away from Saturday’s heavyweight bout. And and if you were wondering, yes, Tressel feels bad for all those angry fans out there. Continue Reading “Around the Interwebs” »

These are hands down the best signs from Columbus, Ohio.

Condoms don’t go on your nuts guys. Is that why birth rates are so high in Ohio?
