WHAT WE LEARNED TODAY: FOOTBALL W/O QB = GOOD(NOT)

Thanks. I think. Just nice to see Penn State win against a top 25 team this season, and always nice to see Phil Fulmer lose.

The Michigan Band is playing “Stairway to Heaven” during the Halftime Show.

RIP, Gerry.

You stay classy, Wolverines.

Here’s what else we learned today…I went to the Cotton Bowl today (mom’s an AU alumnus, fiancee’s family is all Nebraska, and I’m a Gator) and I discovered that Nebraska might be the whitest place in the country and they seem to think it’s funny. The Nebraska band’s two songs? One by the Average White Band and the other by Wild Cherry, “Play that Funky Music (White Boy).” They basically flaunted their overbearing whiteness and as far as I could tell the only persons of color in the band was one Asian dude playing the xylophone.

On the other hand, we went to the stadium without tickets and some nice Nebraska guy gave us three for free.

And Callahan’s fake punt call was as boneheaded a call as I’ve seen all year. It’s one thing to do that if you are behind and can’t get anything going, but when you are tied? Just stupid.

Holy Schmitt!!!

JoePa went and made a sandwich with their cheese. Also, does he get an honorary degree from Florida for defeating Florida State and Tennessee the last two years?

I’m pretty sure that’s the same lame-o mascot costume they’ve had since at least the late ’60s.

Rose Bowl = The only time I’ll ever be rooting for USC. Ever.

Go Gators.

The Cardinals gassed Denny Green. Think Mal Moore has the stones to offer him $2 million a year when Nick Saban tells Bama to stick it?

Are we still counting these games as “wins” for JoePa and Bowden? Shouldn’t there be some minimum amount of plays/defenses called or actual attention paid to the game?

Well, at least we won’t have to hear that UM deserved the “title” shot anymore.

Sure, the Nittany Lion costume is simple, just like Penn State’s uniforms. But trust me — in person, the Lion is the one of the most entertaining mascots in the land. And by comparison, other mascots are frightening (Ohio State) or nonexistent (Michigan).

Good luck to the Gators in the big game next week.

Nick Saban should open up franchise rights and head coach the Phins, the Arizona Cardinals, the Falcons, Alabama, and Michigan next year.

Kirk and Brent want you bloggers to knock it off bein’ so hard on poor old Lloyd Carr. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not losing that’s making people hate him, it’s you blogging bastards. Damn kids and your computers….

is it just me or was today one of the most boring days of college football in a long time. I fell asleep in three different games.

I’m really glad the Fiesta Bowl gave all the Ohio State players tickets to this game.

Don’t let anyone sneak up on you.

Hey Michigan:

I have two words for you- SHUT THE FUCK UP!

The good news: There’s no question Florida rightly deserves to be in the national championship.

The bad news: Florida is still going to get smoked by Troy Smith and Co. Enjoy the buildup fellas, the game will be over by halftime.

Okalhoma is continuing the theme of “FOOTBALL W/O QB = GOOD”. Paul Thompson is fucking horrible.

I think Paul Thompson went out to the desert and took a dump on an old Indian burial ground; that’s the only way to explain his play tonight.

Today, I learned that Charles Davis is a solid bet to replace Spencer Tillman as the whitest black man in America.

If the Fiesta Bowl ever opens up a room in its Hall of Fame for Worst Fucking Passes In Fiesta Bowl History, Paul Thompson’s gonna be in there twice. The pick-six he threw was ugly, but the across-the-body, off-the-wrong-foot INT before that was worthy of a Chuck-Heston-in-Soylent-Green “NOOOOOOO!!!” even before it left his hand.

I think I just got a chubby watching Boise State hit a hook and ladder for a TD on 4th-and-18.

the hook and lateral only topped by the statue of liberty play to win the game. What a fun game to watch! Not quite as good as last year’s Rose Bowl, but what drama at the end!
