Ahhh, I see now: the secret to making a blackout work is having no more than 599 fans present.

Um, as the article points out, UK is not injury free. One of their starting LBs is out.

i believe it was p.j. o’rourke who first noted that whatever a man looks like, he will be precisely half as attractive with a mustache.

sad mustache wednesday for any of us who might appreciate the only funny conservative.

Why is it that every week has been Alabama’s “Biggest Test”? Everyone was talking about how UGA’s lines were going to dominate Bama’s before the game, but now they get a pass.

And Kentucky, KENTUCKY, is going to give us the biggest test of the yea?!

Need I remind you we have shut down arguably the three best running backs in the nation and succeeded in running all over everyone we have played?

I have an iBack Nano for you. His name is Dri Archer (5-7, 160) and he runs a 4.4, but has been clocked (inaccurately) at 4.27. He plays at Venice (Fla.) High School behind Florida’s future quarterback Trey Burton.

UF has a gaggle of bite-sized running backs that rarely see the backside of the LOS. What gives?

You know, connecting The Wizard of Oz and Freaks never occurred to me until now. But it's totally creepy. As for P.J. O'Rourke, I'm quite glad to hear he's got a 95% chance of making it. His chapter on Miami in All the Trouble in the World remains one of my favorite things ever.

It appears the Great Beyond has, at least temporarily, restored P.J.’s slider. We’ll see if he’s regained control of his fastball after the VP debate.

Best wishes to fellow Miami alum, P.J. O’Rourke. I’ve been a big fan of his sense of humor ever since Rolling Stone sent him to cover the America’s Cup in Australia and he reported back that Fremantle should be renamed “Dayton-by-the-Sea.”

#3: Yeah, MTSU completed a Hail Mary on the last play but the guy got tackled at the 1.

I have to admit, I am beside myself with giddiness that I get to make this comment:

*Perhaps Bellotti should give Luke Campbell a call?*

…or was it just too obvious? or too early?

Also, Orson, thank you for excusing the Dawgs wretched first half performance. That’s quite gentlemanly of you given your – ahem – affiliations.

As a throat and neck cancer survivor for 5 years, I know one thing for certain. Nobody will notice P.J.’s scar. Good luck to him in treatment.

Illinois – UM is a classic bad offense vs. bad defense, good offense vs. good defense matchup. Who the hell does a degenerate gambler take?

Figures lie and liars figure. UK stats should be evaluated again after 3-4 conference games, since their OOC schedule wasn’t exactly a murderers row.

Didn’t UK beat MTSU in the last minute too?
