PrintPop quiz, hotshot. Terrorist holding a police hostage, got enough dynamite strapped to his chest to blow a building in half. Now, what do you do?
There will come a time, boy, when you'll wish you'd never met Rich Rodriguez.
This here's your romper room for the afternoon. It's gettin' on to 11:30 AM. And I think it's gonna be a very pretty day.

Again, I’d like to tell ESPN to go fuck itself thanks to making the #2 team in the country’s game against OK State a regional one. I don’t think it’s healthy for me to fuel this dysfunctional relationship by giving them more money in the form of GamePlan.

I just came back from Rutgers; and yes, the winning score was a Joe Martinek WILDCAT run for 45 yards and a TD.
Confusing Play: Schiano called a timeout right before a Syracuse FG attempt in the end of first half – except the kick went off and Rutgers got a block. OK, so they re-do the attempt and right before Syracuse got another FG attempt, Schiano calls a SECOND timeout – only we learn this after the ball is kicked and missed. Amazingly, Syracuse missed the FG on the third attempt with no wind.
