We’d hand out Thighsman awards to ten to fifteen players today: Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada, Chad Henne’s one good knee, Percy Harvin, Jamaal Charles, Dennis Dixon, Beanie Wells. Yet if forced into a corner and held at gunpoint and made us pick one, we’d probably shit our pants with fright. And if you did that over football, you’d be very, very strange, or perhaps an Ohio State fan.
If one absolutely had to have our play of the day, it would be Ram Vela’s spring-loaded vault over Armando Allen and subsequent sack of Evan Sharpley in Navy’s victory over Notre Dame. For timing, it wins: a sack on fourth down to force overtime. For drama, it’s peerless, with the Midshipman uncorking every last quark of athleticism in his being to pull the Roy Williams redux on a helpless Sharpley.
The quality’s not great, but what it lacks in clarity the clip makes up for in enthusiasm. Sleep well, Middies. You get to sleep until 7 tomorrow morning in honor of your fine work.
To quote Ed Orgeron: “Gaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhd-dayyyyuuuuuum!” There’s too much going on today. Far, far too much. On our docket:
12:30: Vanderbilt at Florida, Lincoln Financial. Over to you, Dave. Thanks Dave. Fuck you, Dave!
Peeking at: Wake Forest at Virginia. Peeking, because narcolepsy is visually transmitted by watching Al Groh football.
2:30: Navy at Notre Dame! So retro we’re wearing a zoot suit and drinking some fiery hooch we bought from a man who lives in the woods behind our dormitory. He said we might go blind! Ah, the humor of the common man!
3:30: Michigan at Michigan State, ABC. Sparty’s got a ten inch foam penis under that skirt.
5:00: LSU at Alabama. Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate!
8:00 p.m.: Florida State at Boston College 8 p.m. ABC/ South Carolina at Arkansas 8 p.m. ESPN2. A quarterback throwing in a gale? Superb. The comedy should come in bushels as Florida State’s already hilariously inaccurate combo of Lee/Weatherford attempt to wing passes in the teeth of a wicked pissah of a Nor’easter. Also scan the stand for Patriots jerseys. Some dickhead will wear one.

About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Lake The Posts Northwestern football, which is purple and smarter than you and no thank you would NOT like a ten win season at the cost of academic integrity, thank you very much.
