Wow… how have we gotten so far away from our roots that we no longer allow people to race cars with lions riding shotgun against motorcycles is beyond me. Quality entertainment for the whole family, I say.

Also: kudos to you, Sir Orson, for the history refresher

You didn’t previously notice the Lion? How much were you drinking before Ash Wednesday?

The lion riding shotgun is glorious. A Nittany Lion, no doubt. What keeps him from mauling Joe Pa going 80 mph is another story. He must realize you cant kill that which is not alive.
And by the looks of it, this may have happened in Louisiana, because there aint no PETA in Louisiana. Maybe a PEKA (People Electrically Killing Animals).

I always thought Bobby was the golden boy of the NCAA establishment. I guess I was wrong. The truth of the matter is that only Bobby is being hurt by the NCAA ruling. As much as I can’t stand the “dadgummit, I don’t care about my record – it’s all about the players” line that he continually spreads, I don’t think I like the precedent being set here.

Let him keep his 14 wins and get beaten the old-fashioned way by JoePa.

I can’t help but wonder what Lane Kiffykins would say about all of this.

Now I’m sure that if I look long enough – especially since it’s Lent and I gave up drinking – I’m going to see the Virgin Mary in there.

1. It’s the War Between The States, dammit.
2. My great-grandfather told Bobby not to cast his mercenary lot with the Afrikaaners in the Boer War, as he would have racked up more victories fighting for the British.
3. Again, Bobby screwed up in the Second Punic War, commanding for the Romans at Cannae. Of course, FSU’s efforts as of late against decent competition have resembled Cannae’s outcome for the Romans.

Vacating wins in this instance hurts FSU more than any other team who has had that penalty before, because all they have right now is that record. It could be moot anyway, assuming JoePa holds on long enough. It’s bogus that Bowden claims wins from Howard College anyway. Hang on Joe.
