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.

Cincinnati 30 @ South Florida 21 – I’m taking Cinci because of Tony Pike, Tony Pike and Tony Pike. He’s been a machine and the Bearcats have won on the road in a tougher venue (Corvallis, Oregon [St]). I’ll be focused on the play of B.J. Daniels and how he responds playing in his first major home game. The boys in green over at Sparty like Cinci too.

Oklahoma 38 versus Texas 31 – I haven’t been impressed with Texas lallygagging against Wyoming, Texas Tech and Colorado. I have a man-crush on Sam Bradford; respect the golf skills. On the outside (and I stress outside) chance VT runs the table we’ll need helping getting to the MNC and a Sooner win would be just that. So my pick is based 25% with my head and 100%heart, because I’M ALL HEART BABY. And for shits and grins: know your rivalry.

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.

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” »

We’re going to be away from the computer tomorrow and unless Maggs posts something this is our only offering. We’re hoping when you guys stop by you’ll see this and either talk some trash, say something intelligent or strike up a conversation among each other. We’re trying to get everyone acquainted around here.

September 2000: Hoping to illustrate its diverse enrollment, the University of Wisconsin at Madison doctored a photograph on a brochure cover by digitally inserting a black student in a crowd of white football fans. The original photograph of white fans was taken in 1993. The additional black student, senior Diallo Shabazz, was taken in 1994. University officials said that they spent the summer looking for pictures that would show the school’s diversity — but had no luck.

We’ve been saving that one. Oh and there’s this from the fanciful land of super-conferences, which is complete bullshit.

John Clay is hurdling bitches too.
