SPITE AGAINST BLIGHT! CHARITY BOWL UPDATE
SPITE AGAINST BLIGHT! That’s today’s variation on the EDSBS/Fanblogs Charity Bowl, or as it’s know at Fanblogs, the “Fanblogs/EDSBS Charity Bowl.” Bitches, we will diva-fight someone for top billing no matter how many tops we have to rip off. (SFW, as all boobs are bleeped out. Sad.)
Make a donation to one of our three fine charities today and you may specify whether the total goes for your team’s total or more entertainingly against another team’s number. Meaning: we expect stingy Georgia fans to actually show up and donate today to reduce Florida’s impressive total. (”Ahm savin’ for new trim!” Whatever, Early.) Tornadoes just ripped up Oklahoma and Georgia, half of the Irrawaddy river delta’s underwater, and Sichuan province just got rocked by a 7.9 earthquake. Pony up and make some primo deposits in the karma bank today.
If you learn anything from the totals, it’s this: don’t mess with Michigan in a fundraising war.
Team Donation Standings:
1. Michigan – $2,985.00
2. Ohio State – $2,305.00
3. Florida – $1,570.00
4. Texas – $480.00
5. Auburn – $355.00
6. Florida State – $350.00
7t. Case Western Reserve – $300.00
7t. Virginia – $300.00
8. Alabama – $230.00
9t. South Carolina – $200.00
9t. Georgia Tech – $200.00
9t. SMU – $200.00
10. Oklahoma – $185.00
Lurking: Tennessee, Nebraska, Va Tech, LSU, Notre Dame
At the moment it looks like this blog will be sporting Maize and Blue on Thursday, but that’s not a done deal. Because you are ready to donate and support your school of course, here are the particulars:
1) Make a donation online to the American Red Cross, CARE, or the International Rescue Committee.
2) Email the donation confirmation to kevin@fanblogs.com and state your team affiliation by 8pm EDT on Wednesday, May 14th. BE SURE TO STATE WHETHER YOUR DONATION GOES FOR YOUR TEAM OR AGAINST ANOTHER. Either way it counts, but we want you to have some fun with it, too.
3) Results will be displayed at Every Day Should Be Saturday and Fanblogs throughout the week, with the final results shown by Thursday, May 15th.
4) The winning school will have its colors displayed at EDSBS and logo/mascot shown on every page at Fanblogs.
Mondo important reminder: ALL DONATIONS MUST BE IN TO FANBLOGS BY 8PM EDT (5PM PDT) TONIGHT.
Donate early, donate often, and remember to specify your team donation. We’re at around $11K right now and expected to get a few thousand; getting to $20K would be beyond all but the wildest expectations.

Make OSU negative today folk. We know everyone wants it. Just keep in mind how they are going to be a preseason top three team and play themselves into the MNC for the third year in a row.

Buckeye-love and Buckeye-hate – both in service to mankind. Makes me proud.
Can I make a donation contingent on the number of games Petrino coaches before he realizes what life is like in Fayetteville and just sort of wanders away in boredom?

I see the big boys are at the top of the college football world, in their rightful place. I mean really, it is the greatest rivalry in all of sports, did anyone really think that Ohio State and Michigan wouldn’t be at the top of this list…
I guess we found something that Michigan can finally beat us at.
See in November bitches…
Oh and thanks for the video, Orson.

I can’t wait to see how Alabama finds a way to claim a championship out of this…
Pony up you cheap motherf—ers!
Never mind, I forgot, there’s nothing left in the kitty after Saban’s 32 Million Dollar contract and the 100 Million Dollar renovation project at that shit hole you call a stadium, that sits next to a graveyard and a bunch of overpriced high-rise condos that were subsidized by the Katrina Relief Fund or whatever loop hole it was that enabled the developers to get huge tax breaks to build the shitty, over-priced condos…but hey, you can spit on Phil Fulmer from the balcony so I guess it’s worth it.
F-Alabama

This Michigan fan really loves it because his first degree comes from Case.
