BLOGTOBERFEST: COB-ULAR EDITION

by Orson on Sep 25, 2008 3:52 PM EDT

Blogtoberfest! Because Marky M needs a breather and a Hambrosia fitness shake, available only at select Midwestern GNCs.

TREV! Trev with his Illinois/Penn State preview. You know you want us to do a charity drive where, if you donate enough cash, you get a video of Trev and ourselves singing "What a Wonderful World" with Santa hats on for the holidays.

Corn Nation handed out their cobs of the week. Mike Sherman should probably work on his "competent/not lost" look on the sidelines. Bill Callahan had a good one, and he wasn't even competent, so anyone can do it, really.

Bears Necessity has the Dwarves, yo. A correlative, yes, but a good one, and additionally, a reminder that Tom Hansen took a three week vacation during football season, something an SEC commissioner would be drawn and quartered for doing. (Considered: the trip was scheduled long before he actually knew when he would be retiring, etc, yes...but still.)

Absurdity is the norm. Yawn, another physically improbable act caught on camera gone viral.

Jermaine Cunningham, operational. Will start against Ole Miss, barring relapse. Also in there: DT Brandon Antwine is un-banged up, and looking to play around what sounds like midseason.

We get misty. Purdue Pete tugs the heartstrings at BGS.

We're sure that taught them. Ron Prince really did have his players run sprints at the stadium at 3 in the morning after the loss to Louisville. We're sure additionally taxing players after they had their asses handed to them on very little sleep taught them...um...that sometimes, for no reason, their coach will have them do something wasteful, stupid, and melodramatic.

The rise of the shitty spread: Noted at the always sage Smart Football: the rise of the shitty spread.

I am afraid I do not get the humor in the Alberts clip. Please explain

Vegemite has finally made it to the U.S. mainstream?

Trev – What happened to Hot-Lanta in the background?

If I was gonna do a city background, it’d be Charleston, SC…as if to say: “Yea thats right fuck faces, I talk about football and chill in Charleston all year while you waste you lives in a self induced cubicle hell…peons!” That or maybe a Tropical Island theme…seems like it would be a lot funnier. the city background makes sense for CNBC, with all those pillars of capitalism shiny proud behind you, but not for college football. Just throw up some row houses and palmettos, bitches.

So is the shitty spread offense any good or is it not just a clever name?
