BLOGTOBERFEST, SPECIAL BCS EDITION: SUBCOMMANDANTE WAYNE PICKS UP GARBAGE
There's only one carcass to feed off today, vultures. And it's got our team in it. The roundup of the reekingest bits of carrion from around the wilds of the internets.
--A judge in Columbus freed up space in the budgets of 34 people convicted of general Buckeye-themed mayhem after the Michigan game in November by sentencing them to community service on Monday, January 8th. For the calendar-impaired, that's today, meaning they'll be picking up monkey poo at the zoo instead of chugging Southpaw Lite in the parking lot at Glendale. Subcommandante Wayne says he's bummed, especially because he's going to have to take the bus thanks to Mom needing the Grand Am.

The Subcommandante: bummed about cleaning the tiger cage, missing first quarter because of the slowass bus 'n shit.
--SMQ has been on this game like Sweatervest on sweatervests. Read it all because he is a genius--Orwell with a football problem. We cannot write it any clearer: if you do not like this man's writing, you may feed yourself arm first into the garbage disposal without objection from us.
--Mike Wise waxes poetic on Tim Tebow...
Running like a fawn out of the womb, his legs and arms all agape and only green in front in him, Tebow is the golden child. He is the train in the distance, the majestic locomotive capable of transporting Florida's alumni and students to a utopian place in the sport.
...and blows the smattering of boos Chris Leak got in the Kentucky game to hyperbolic proportions, confirming the stereotype that any and all stories told by 90% of major columnists must be rendered in Manichean terms even Mel Gibson would identify as "unsubtle." All the column's missing is a few human sacrifices and a vivisected Leak in a kilt screaming "FREEDOM" at the end.
--Todd Jones (not of Rollbamaroll, but of the Columbus Dispatch) reminds Buckeye fans that they may have never enjoyed success on the scale they're enjoying now. Mr. Jones was beaten into a coma by the ghost of Woody Hayes shortly after typing this.
--The St. Pete Times's special section on the game is busting at the seams with content. Unsurprisingly for fans of the mightiest mid-major paper in the nation, it's mostly high-grade stuff, including the piece on Mr. Two Bits and their own Factor Sixish preview.

Dorks on parade? Sure. But at least they got free tickets, and you don't.
--Buckeye Commentary's posted a detailed position analysis where, shock of shocks, they point out to the masses that the Florida offense does not completely suck.

Rise up Buckeye Warriors!!! A loss tonight further validates the existence of Joakim Noah. Win at all costs…

ya’ll must be dying. I only wish that I knew what you were going through. Never had to work the day PSU played for an NC, plus, it’s getting difficult to remember the anxiety and the “I could totally barf (we said ‘totally’ and ‘barf’ a lot in the 80s) right now” excitement. Ah, but not impossible (thanks to articles like the one on ESPN.com regarding the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, DVRs and ESPN Classics – I’ll watch the Gretsky catch, just one more time…)
I went to the Eagles’ playoff game last night – that was fun – not Penn State National Championship fun – but fun.
Good luck to all – I hope that 100% of your teams go pro (even if they are not eligible) tomorrow morning.

Joakim Noah is awesome. You bucknuts wish you had the issue of Swedish beauty queens/artists and French (albeit via Cameroon) tennis players/rock stars on your team – you just wish.

On behalf of other Big Ten fans, #3, we don’t want any of our players to be of French decent. I’m sure the Subcommandante would agree. They tend to surrender too easily.

I’m a bit surprised that I’ve made it past noon. That fifth of Jack taped under my desk has really helped out.
I have a feeling that Brandon James is going to make a big impact this evening, though that may be just the whiskey trying to find an escape route.
I still can’t believe that it’s already gone from three weeks to seven hours.

If you truly are from Minnesota then you should know that the Viking blood line would negate any lilly-livered French tendencies -

Yall have a marching band? That’s cool. Who’s first chair “guy who hits play on the the Trick Daddy CD?”

Viking Blood vs. Frenchy Blood:
PSU Girl Comment No. 6: Here is one example where Frenchy blood beat Viking Blood – -> Latest Bond Babe: EVA GREEN. (Her mom is French and her father is Swedish. She looks more French than Swedish, and by the way, she is about as pretty as you can get, French looking and all.
Here are some pictures (SFW) :

Duely noted.
Ohio State’s marching band could cure cancer, but that would take away precious time from bell ringing in front of department stores across this great land of ours.

Sweet Jesus….is gameday finally here? When the hell did we play Michigan? I think we have less of a layoff from now until our Spring Game….
I still can’t decide if I can actually watch the game, or just take 4 sleeping pills when I get home, wake up at 2am and watch for the score to scrawl across the bottom of the screen on ESPN….
Maybe a compromise, I’ll take 4 Vicodin and wash it down with a fifth of anything 80 proof and just try to view the game through a detached haze…

I am sooooo much more worthless at work than normal today

Here’s hoping that my professors aren’t teaching me anything useful today…
At my malpractice suit in ten years, I’m going to cite this game “how could I have learned that rule of evidence, it was the day of the national championship game”

For the love of all that is good and holy, Florida must win tonight.
Also, PSU girl, I think you’re dating yourself with your 80’s references.
by Wooderson on Jan 8, 2007 3:19 PM EST reply actions
Oh No! Dept, or:
Beano Cook Strikes Again:
On Sporting News Radio, Cooked Beans stated that Florida would beat THEosu in the GAME.
Is that the Kiss of Death?
I hope the Gators win, but being on the same side with Beano feels a little wierd.

Hey, I am one of those French/Swedes, but I’d never “date” myself.
But yes, I remember the 80s – and, I remember the football – spent years 0-23 living in State College/University Park -

PSU Girl:
Do you look anything like Eva Green? Or, are you more of a typical blondie type? (I went to Sweden once and was amazed at the high percentage of beautiful babes there.)

Michigan = exposed
Ohio St = about to be exposed
Me = drunk

I heartily boo PSUgirl not “dating” herself…
But I cheer my imagination of this event occuring…

Was the site down for anyone else? I was afraid that SW had instructed his WoW minions via cellphone from the Columbus Zoo to shut down EDSBS.
Fortunately, there’s only 51mins left in my “work” day. Though, I suspect that I got about as much “work” done today as Jeff Bowden did.

Good luck to Orson, Stranko and all the other Gators. Sorry OSU dudes, I know you party hella crazy and all but I’ve had more than enough of you guys crushing the Illini over the years, although that should change now that we have [NAME REDACTED] doin’ his thang and pullin’ in 5 star recruits! the Juice is loose!!! HAHAHA….
whoa, sorry, got a little crazy there for a second. I hope it’s a great game tonight. Whoever wins, one’ thing’s for sure; Joakim Noah is going to be an NBA bust of Quinnesque proportions.

From a UK fan that was just glad to be in a bowl this year, GO GATORS. I hope they show that the entire rating system is flawed and that THE SEC is leaps and bounds better than other conferences including the BIG TEN. And oh yea, the Wolverines were totally overrated and had no part in the national championship conversation in any way after losing to OSU.

Some of the NFL teams have played 8 games since the tOSU-UM game. The layoff has been too long.
I had fun this weekend. I put on my OSU gear and went out and burned some Christmas trees. Those go up way better than couches. Go Bucks.
by oc phil on Jan 8, 2007 5:37 PM EST reply actions
OC Phil:
I agree that the Buckeyes have had a heck of a long break from playing. Should they be that heavily favored, 7 points? I do not think so.
I am guessing that the Gators will surprise OSU with all sorts of cool plays and win by a field goal at the end.
What is your prediction?

I’m waiting for the hate mail to come in waves from the Marching Band Union for the “Dorks on Parade” caption….
…and at that point, we’ll all laugh.
