The Las Vegas Blow, err Bowl, looked pretty miserable. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!

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” »

It is our pleasure to present this trophy to Texas Christian University, the 2009 Jesus Cup winner. /round of applause

Iron Bowl (ALA 39-33-1) Alabama 23 @ Auburn 17 – In traditional with Black Friday the main course will be served before all the appetizers today. Auburn will be able to move the ball, but the Tide defense will prove too tough and Mark Ingram too consistent.

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.

The guys from the Mountain West Connection (who are the Mack 10, WC, Ice Cube and then some of the MWC) dropped this bomb via San Diego radio host Lee “Hacksaw” Hamilton.

These rumors are everywhere out of the nations capital. There are negotiations between the people for the BCS as well as the Mountain West Conference. If the Mountain West wants to get a guaranteed spot in the BCS they must expand. The expansion would include Boise State, Nevada-Reno and Fresno State. Make it a power twelve team conference.

It’s a rumor at best, but where there’s smoke there’s fire. I don’t know anything about any non Jim Duggan Hacksaw, but I can’t see him gaining much by just blatantly making this up.

Initial Reactions

• Why not go after Houston instead of Nevada?
• If it goes down like that the WAC is fucked. Perfect timing to return to the mainland by June Jones.
• It wouldn’t be a power conference, but it would be a BCS credible one. Having one quarter of your conference as perennial teams in the top 25 guarantees that. And Fresno State and Air Force aren’t pushovers.
• The MWC will get a better television contract.
• It’ll be a bitch for the remaining non-BCS schools to automatically qualify now.
• To make the BCSCG a team will still need to go undefeated and have at least one marquee win over one of the original six BCS schools.

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.
