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.

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.

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?

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?
