Dinich Disrespecting Boston College and Annoying Virginia Tech
ACC blogosphere’s favorite “blogger” Heather Dinich released her pre-spring power rankings on Monday.
Our only Heather Dinich photo on file
Brian and Jeff at BC Interruption have taken exception to being ranked 11th.
Jeff:Â Here is essentially what Heather Dinich said in her power rankings so that none of you have to click the link:
…
11. Boston College – Had a small recruiting class. Despite the fact that I’m a football blogger, I fail to realize that very few true freshman play, let alone have an impact, so I am going to assume BC will fail, not only to make their 3rd straight ACC Championship Game, but finish nearly last in the league. They return a bunch of players including the ACC Defensive POY but I don’t use logic when ranking teams. I would have ranked them last but ESPN forced me to show some restraint and put perennial basement dweller Duke at the bottom where they belong.
Amen.
In the same power rankings she has Virginia Tech first. However, she has done nothing but dog the Hokies throughout the week.  She couldn’t believe Mark Schlabach had us ranked fifth in his updated preaseason top 25.
If the Hokies are going to finish the 2009 season in the top five of the final BCS standings, they’re going to have to improve marginally on the offensive line, and keep quarterback Tyrod Taylor in a protective don’t-hit-me practice jersey all season. With the lack of experience behind him, Taylor can’t even afford to trip on his way to class.
She vehemently disagrees with Schlabach, but according to her the two blemishes holding us back are Taylor’s health and “marginal” improvement by the offensive line.  I wonder if she knows Florida needs to keep Tim Tebow healthy for the Gators to be successful?  The same goes for Bradford at Oklahoma and McCoy at Texas. Are you fucking kidding me? Florida, Oklahoma and Texas would be 8-10 win teams at best without their starters.  So now I guess as long as our line hits the sled we should be good.
Except she explored the possibility of 2009 Virginia Tech to 2008 Clemson in her mailbag. I agree with furrer4heisman.
Look, the Hokies aren’t going to win the national title next year. But they aren’t going to fall on their faces like Clemson did, either. The main reason is because Clemson was coached by this guy:
When you’re right, you’re right.
Cox Hearts Berry
Georgia defensive tackle Jeff Owens interviews senior quarterback Joe Cox over at his blog.
6. Do you plan on staying in Georgia after college? Yes. I plan on going to graduate school and being a Graduate Assistant after I graduate in December.
22. If you could dream up your dream mate what would she look like? Halle Berry
27. If there is one woman you could marry, who would it be? Halle Berry
All the luck to Joe in his quest to marry Berry and if he does wed her don’t expect him to be a head coach in the SEC.

In the swamp they chant, “Gator Chomp, Gator Chomp.”  At Virginia Tech we holler “Let’s go Hokies” and stomp. But before kickoffs at Kansas they yell “Rip his fucking head off.”  In terms of awesomeness this ranks somewhere up there between the first time I saw The Program and watching Jahvid Best puking his brains out.
However, not everyone is so gung-ho about it anymore.
KU senior Matt Erickson, the editor of the University Daily Kansan, is leading a student-driven initiative to stop the chant. Last Friday, Erickson met with KU associate athletic director for external relations Jim Marchiony, KU director of university relations Todd Cohen, KU student body president Adam McGonigle and KU linebacker Mike Rivera, among others, to come up with a fresh game plan.
“Because KU is on a national stage now, that’s not the kind of image we want to put out about who the students are,” Erickson said. “The additional national exposure makes it more embarrassing for me as a student.”
So, what to do? How do you convince thousands of students — some [I hope all] of whom have been drinking alcohol — to not only wave the wheat but also go against the grain
I’m actually embarrassed for the rest of the KU student body that someone would actually try to stop this.  It might be vulgar, but it is edgy, cool and most importantly harmless.  Five seconds of synchronized cursing is the least crude thing to be experienced at a football game with all of the eye gouging, scratching and ball-sack twisting happening on the field.
Regardless of how you feel its not going stop.
“I just don’t think there’s anything they can do,” said Scanga, a Wichita native. “Just them trying to tell us not to say it, it makes kids want to say it even more.”
That sums it up beautifully. Â Curse on Kansas.

IÂ got an email from a reader Mathew tonight who attended GameDay in Auburn.
On you site for the Auburn vs. LSU GameDay signs, you cite that the Michael Phelps sign is the best ever. Well I got you one better. This is one they didn’t put on T.V.!  I would describe it, but words would ruin the artwork.
Mathew all I can say to you is touche salesman. Â We’ve heard about censored or discarded GameDay signs before but dammmmnnn yo.
Lets caption this Matisse masterpiece
- After Tea-baggin Tebow, Aubie still had some left
- Great Balls of Tiger
- They’re Greeaaaat!!
Leave more captions in the comments.
