While the NC State athletic department attempts to disinfect several sections of the stadim and simulataneously decline the offer of R. Kelly to write “Wolfpack Mackin’”, a new theme for the team featuring a rap by MC Red Shoes…we bring you this morning’s edition of Blogtoberfest.

–Michigan hypermegamecha-tackle Alan Branch is the next Big Man Dance Challenge champion in training, according to Brian.

–Alabama players have gently suggested that Mike Shula should pass more. Or perhaps we can just say to hell with the gently bit:

“We can throw it on anybody if we want to,” receiver Keith Brown said. “Make the play call.”

At this point Joe Kines broke up the interview and alpha-rolled receiver Brown while Shula returned to a demanding game of World Of Warcraft, where his guild is both unstoppable and merciless.

–Coach Dennis Franchione and the Aggies are getting motivated for their upcoming first game against a real, live, non-quadraplegic opponent, Texas Tech. See, they do this activity to build trust where everyone lines up and falls into the outstretched arms of their co-workers. Then they visit a prison for motivation. Then they wear buttons that say “winner” or something like that. Then they all do a Polynesian dance.

Then they lose by thirty to Texas Tech.

–Gay tailgating. We bet the food and drink rock, though the continuous thumping disco does get a bit repetitive.

–Will Collier of In The Bleachers makes “ha ha funny old man look like corpse” jokes about Lou Holtz. We still laughed.

–Nestor has his predictably measured response to UCLA losing last weekend to Washington. Shockingly, his plan involves a coach getting fired.

***Late addition, but a necessary one: Peter runs down the whole dang ol’ Big 12 in every way imaginable this week. And he’s got an intern? Dude, you’ve got to hit that shit. Interns are eeeaaaaasy pickins’–it’s like, you know, he who holds the key to the supply closet gets the tail, right? Wait–it’s a dude? You hired a male intern? Well, you know, maybe you’re experimenting. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We’ve seen Kinsey; sexuality is a spectrum, after all…***
