People write great shit all the time on other blogs. We encourage you to read them, most especially after the always huge week three of the season.

Aw!

Superb semantic analysis of the USC/Nebraska game, provided to you by AJThoughts. Pete Carroll would club a baby seal, sure–but it would instantly split into three baby seals, each instantly cuter than the other. Oh, and puppies. There’d be puppies, too.

SMQ’s militantly awesome as always. How much so? He called New Mexico’s upset of Arizona and it justifiably proud of doing so. Deny the fact that you had no idea they even played, much less that it was an upset for the Lobos, and you are the father of lies.

The HogBlogger says that Houston Nutt’s teams have followed up an opening SEC loss with a second loss every year in the Nutt era, just as they did against Alabama. McFadden’s rumored concussion had much to do with it, but why let Casey Dick throw and not run out a bit more of the clock–in a game where Bama eventually won with 8 seconds left–may be the inescapable noose/query of Nutt’s 2007 season. Screw may–is the inescapable noose.

Private jets. Sometimes they land at Auburn. It’s never too early to put the brands to a rival, done with great subtlety by Todd here.

Not good looking, but certainly well-ventilated.

Clay Travis takes his beating like a man. We still owe him ten dollars for Florida not blocking a punt, something we can live with, we suppose. He also mentions that we had our shirt halfway down to the navel. Totally true: when you’ve got a plush landing strip for ladyjets as we do, you’ve got to ventilate that shit with diligence.

Did Boise State pump in crowd noise? Joe Glenn, Wyoming’s coach, certainly thinks so, per the Wizard of Odds.

Tony thinks Florida could be scary good. Which is always nice.

Note this about Oregon: Even Oregon fans think they’re superb this year, notwithstanding the fact they played a punch-drunk Michigan team. We hop no Duck bandwagon due to past burns with Belotti teams that didn’t pay out and await further evidence–though their mascot certainly seems to have the right spirit.

We would, too, if we’d lost to ISU.

Black Heart Gold Pants can’t possibly blame Texas lineman Lance Tillison for DWI after the Hawkeyes’ loss to Iowa State–especially since he was caught with the DJ Screw Starter kit of weed, alcohol, and cough syrup in his car. Purple drank is sometimes the only sanctuary in this cruel world, be you Hawkeye or strug-guh-ling Texas defense.

BlockU, in celebrating their complete and crushing victory against UCLA, works up some caption magic the Economist would be proud of, sirs.

Duke’s losing streak: A touching retrospective from Nathan at AOL.

Bill’s life as the ur-BC blogger is about to become totally greatz0rz and he knows it: not only can he hand out stellar grades to the Eagles following the requisite Chan Gailey letdown game on Saturday night, his Eagles face the worst Notre Dame team ever later this year with an offense piloted by rising LARGE AWARD NOT TO BE NAMED FOR FEAR OF COPYRIGHT VIOLATION BUT FUCK IT WE’LL SAY IT ANYWAY THE HEISMAN SUCK IT DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB candidate Matt Ryan. You were there from the jumpoff, sir.
