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?

… 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.

I know, I know only a concussion right? Watch Best leap over a defender en route to six only to have his flight plan deviated by safety Cameron Collins.

Best crash landed. The brunt of the impact was absorbed by the back of his lower head and upper back. Gravity is a bitch. Continue Reading “Jahvid Best Only Suffers a Concussion” »
