COUNTDOWN: ZERO

All men are equal not in respect of their gifts but in that everyone has a will capable of choice. Man is a tempted being, living with what he does, and suffers in time, the medium in which he realizes his potential character. The indeterminacy of time means that events never happen once and for all. The good may fall, the bad may repent, and suffering can be, not a simple retribution, but a triumph.
And here...we....go.

Of course not.

I can't link to it (stupid work filter), but...
I’m going to assume it’s Andrew W. K. getting a party started.
Well regardless,
The guitar riff from “Let’s Get a Party Started” has been playing on loop in my head since I woke up this morning and realized that Football-mas was here. Hail Black Santa!
god bless us all, every one.
The reason I was most happy to get off weekend graveyard and move to weekday graveyard?
Saturdays are mine again to wake up at 7 am and drink all day with college football on the TV, and I just made my Costco trip today to take care of that unsightly beer shortage.
WOO FOOTBAW.

I keep picturing a version of a movie's opening montage
Cuts from scene to scene of all of you people getting ready for whatever the hell it is you do when you’re not here but with football on your minds, hearts, and lips. You know, kind of like in The Big Chill, but without Kevin Costner’s corpse. Come to think of it, I might thrown Costner’s corpse into the scene just because the idea of it gives me a warm feeling.
Kevin Costner as the Big Chill corpse
was one of his better portrayals.

I think Michigan was playing Michigan St. on TV in a scene in the Big Chill,
does anyone one know what year that was and who won the game?
I don't know
But they’re playing a hockey game in the Big House this December, and calling it The Big Chill. Will probably break the world record (which they already hold, from the game at Spartan Stadium ~10 years ago) for attendance at a hockey game by almost 50%.
Outdoor hockey games are awesome,
as far as the game, I found it, (Oct. 11, 1980) and UM beat MSU 27-23. Revenge I guess—hockey style.
And now that's running through my head....
of course, it’s better than the questions my stupid, STUPID college freshmen are asking today. “How do I take the square root of 9” DIE, BITCHES! IT’S FOOTBAW TIME!
"I think so, Brain, but how are we going to get the bacon flavoring into the pencils?"
Kudos to all of you (even the UGA fans)
for surviving yet another off-season. Thankfully, we had an ever-entertaining Fulmer Cup to keep our minds off of the misery of there being no college football to justify our existance in this otherwise fickle mortal coil. We give thanks to Lord Swindle and Lady Anderson for keeping us from sinking into the off-season depression.
Having said that, now let’s get ready for some gut-stomping, eye-gouging, poor time-managing(STILL not old), FOOTBAW!
GIGGITY!!!!!
AIEEEE!
The new(ish) provost sent out a letter telling profs to stop cancelling class today at USCe. Saturday the season starts for realz up in da Gawgia Dome but I’ll take what I can get tonight! Geaux Cocks!
Yeah, what she said ^^^^ And I've got three games to watch
I’ll be pulling for the Gamecocks (adopted home state). I’ll also be pulling for little brother, Marshall, against dOSU (TNX, Big Rev) and for the Utah Utes, because my second favorite team is anybody playing Pitt.

Also, tOSU is very likely to win.

It took a 55 yard FG for tOSU to win in '04...
I b’lee the spread is 28.5. No way Tressel wins any game by 30 points.
It doesn’t matter how many football games the SEC wins. We will always look down on you.
