1999 Michael Vick is impressed. The greatest college football play to ever take place against crippled AI set on the lowest possible settings. Unfairly excerpted: From the Athens Banner-Herald, and excerpted in an unfair way:
Of course he does. All Cox deserve happy endings. (HT: Josh.) "I detect strong topnotes of booze, mania, and pork fat." Your essential fragrances for the season include "LSU For Women," a name we would have assumed meant "a bottle of bourbon and a thoroughly charged cattle prod." This episode of "Life Outpacing Satire" is brought to you by EDSBS.com. You're welcome. Fluff, but important fluff. A meringuey-light blurb on Joe McKnight does contain important information, or at least what passes for important information on August 10th. First, we remember that McKnight injured his toe in the Rose Bowl, but not that he injured four of them via sprain, a sensation we just added to the ever-expanding list of "Things We Never Want to Experience." (Like breaking a few vertebra, for example, something we had to take off the list earlier this summer. "Vivisection by rodent horde" and "the cold, undead touch of Bobby Petrino" are still on there for the moment.") Second, McKnight is feeling much better, and has been positively "head-turning" in practice thus far for USC. Also he is staying away from scary things like door hinges, a good thing considering 2008's bizarre injuries resulting from encounters with them. Tweetables: Wes Rucker's Vol-arity is off the charts, even with the UT SIDs occasionally telling him what he can and can't tweet live from the practice field. Colorado State coach Steve Fairchild has a pithy 140 character or less point about the BCS. (HT: Blutarsky.) In other news, the coach at Colorado State is named Steve Fairchild, and has a Twitter account. Gator Benjamin Volin does his own practice tweeting, Tweetdeck permitting, here. Finally, Dave Matter on Mizzou is Twitteronia's finest Pinkel Studies scholar. |

I’d like to go at least one Monday without the media circus surround Steve Fairchild.

is that running back named Obama or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
also i’ve seen video of this being done with Bo Jackson on Techmo Bowl, which i found far more impressive

Back in, oh, 2000 or so, when bored I’d sometimes fire up Madden and play a game with 15 minute quarters on Rookie to see how many points I could score. I’d invariably quit with about 11:30 left in the first quarter. Ah, to be young again!

LSU for Women: Show that coonass how much you love her.

After watching his incredible work on the gridiron, Obama ought to give up this President thing and focus on football. It pays a lot better and he won’t have to deal with that rascally Kim Jong Il guy anymore.

Penn Wagers would have made 10 holding and 12 clipping calls during that run.

That run was highly unrealistic. Obama would have run so far left he would have been out of bounds before crossing the 25 (the first of umpteen times). Of course, the opposing defense was every bit as accommodating as the White House press corps.

How did you miss the LA Times “Most Viewed” box on the McKnight story?
- is “House Leaders call noisy disruption of health care forums un-American”
- is “Tough Times in the Porn Industry”

You KNOW they wanted to make the headline read “Hard Times…”

There’s a good chance ASU won’t get that many yards in an entire game this season. Go State!
It’s also somewhat fitting that Obama went to ASU but didn’t get his degree, just like most of us.

Clearly I had a similar childhood to others. Here’s a better Bo video, phenomenally done with John Facenda narrating. Chills, Orson. Chills.
