civil war 2009 Civil War For the Roses Open Thread (Now Live Blog)...

… and drinking game. The drink of choice being a lukewarm blend of duck and beaver liver fats.

Before playing pick a side North (Oregon State) or South (Oregon).

  1. Whenever your side gives up points it’s 1 drink for 3 or less and 2 drinks for 4 or more.
  2. 1 drink if the LeGarrette Blount punch is mentioned, 3 drinks if they show the video. Then promptly fist pump.
  3. If your side is the North it’s 1 drink for every dumbass Jesse Palmer comment, if you’re the South do the same for Craig James. (honor system in play here for what constitutes a ‘dumbass comment’)
  4. Any time an announcer mentions the last time Oregon State was in the Rose Bowl was 1965, take a drink.
  5. Any time an announcer laments the fact that somebody who isn’t USC is going to win the Pac 10, finish your drink.
  6. If Erin Andrews says something along the lines of, “it’s getting loud in here”, that’s 3 drinks.
  7. Any time the game is compared to the actual Civil War, finish your drink.
  8. Any time Phil Knight is mentioned, 2 drinks. If they show him, that’s 5 drinks.
  9. If an announcer segues from Chip Kelly to talking about Brian Kelly to ND by saying “speaking of Kelly”, finish your drink.
  10. If there’s a reference to Appomattox Court House, finish your drink.
  11. Anytime, anything, about Oregon’s uniforms are mentioned that’s 2 drinks.
  12. Anytime you see some sexual innuendo ie ’save trees, eat beavers’, that’s 2 drinks.

If you have more rules then leave them in the comments.

Also joining us will be Gobbler Country, Black Heart Gold Pants and Eleven Warriors.

divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

Jesus Cup Standings
Team Wins Losses
TCU 11 0
BYU 9 2
Boston College 7 4
Notre Dame 6 5
SMU 6 5

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.

It’s The Big 12! Open Threadage.

Take this game in real gentle, slow and smooth like the final drag of exquisite cheeba, because this might be the last time, for a long while, that you see the Hawk storming around the sidelines of a prime time football game. My prediction is for a rocky mountain high debacle. Feel free to stop by and enjoy the carnage.

USF-Rutgers Open Threadage

If you’re behind on your man choirs, haven’t made love to your wife or significant other, need to write that paper due yesterday, have to cram for Professor Hardass’ multivariable calculus exam, exercise or have any one of a thousand things to cross off your to-do list, tonight might be the night to start them.

South Florida at Rutgers isn’t a sexy matchup, but just think about how deprived you are in May. Get that pussy now, regardless of how rank it may be.

We’ll be here doing our thing, talking about the game. Please join us. Whatever you do, don’t bitch out and watch Grey’s Anatomy.

divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

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.

Group Think with Y’All, Me and Jesus

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 is joining the open thread tonight, mostly because real life interfered and I couldn’t get two separate posts together. Maybe this will become a trend.

If Lord Jesus made a better college football entrance he’s saving it for himself.

Thursday Open Thread

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.

uwmadison12 Thursday Open Thread

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.
