If Paterno passes Robinson, that’ll justify Auburn’s picking Chizik over Gill.

consider this: If Joe Paterno averages 9 wins per season over the next three seasons he’ll have 410 wins (not counting the victory pending in this year’s Rose Bowl) at the end of this current extension. Eddie Robinson retired with 408. Paterno > Robinson? Nahhh, can’t happen! Can it? Well, Paterno’s averaged 10 wins per season over the last four seasons.

They just started airing “The Danny Bonaduce Show” as a morning radio show here in Philly- it is absolutely terrible. I listen for how long it takes him to refer to his previous drug and/or alcohol addiction or his deviant sex life, then i turn the station. I swear if it was a drinking game I would be dead in an hour. He won’t shut up. We get it, Danny- you used to get high and masturbate on your dog. get the fuck over it.

Vegas baby, Vegas.

My buddy had a memorable trifecta there last year, meeting Tiffany, Danny Bonaduce, and the Hoff in the space of an hour.

He said Bonaduce has done some hard livin’, brotha.

I’ve lived in Vegas for 18 years and never had a desire to see the mediocrity that is UNLV football (sheee–oooottt, that isn’t even really mediocrity) or the Las Vegas Bowl Sponsored by a different highest bidder every year.

But, The Hoff? Shit, O. You just made me rearrange my weekend plans, just so I can get a group together and sing Cheeseburger in Paradise with my LOLCats I can has Cheeseburger shirts on.

I’ll prolly end up doing what I do every year, which is bet on the game and pass out drunk before halftime.

Viva, baby.

What a coincidence! All the best photos of 2008 were taken by L.A. Times photographers.

Evidently Iowa St.’s AD went to the Bob Dole school of speaking of oneself in the third person…

Castro wishes he had the stamina of Joe Pa. What’s that Fidel, 49 years in charge and you just can’t take the pressure anymore and had to resign? Wimp.

Raspberry flavored St Ides? Was doing a job at a c-store back in the late 90s when a guy came in and bought a 40 ouncer, a pickled pig’s foot, 2 packs of saltines and four Kools (not packs, 4 ciggies).

1) I strongly suspect that “Mike’s Cranberry Hard Lemonade” is going to become a running joke around here.

2) My sister-in-law is a DST (AKA “Damn, She’s Thick”), as was a newscaster in Las Vegas who did some wonderfully dirty things to me (That’s neither here nor there, but I like saying it.) I feel confident in saying neither of them would share a Mike’s with Jacobs, though they might give him a 40oz. of St. Ides as a cruel joke.

Crapapple — it’s Big 11 football. They won’t be having any of your newfangled excitement during their football games, mister.

Al Groh at almost $2MM? I think the UVa AD must have been drinking plenty of Mike’s Cranberry Hard Lemonade too when he made that decision.

With a new hip, he thinks he can go another 43 years. The odds of him dying during a game are approximately 28-1. May be lower if you consider stress, excitement, etc…
