After addressing the crowd and walking to the edge of the stage, he turned around and said, “Oh and by the way, one more thing, let’s do it again. I’m coming back!”

Remember. It’s not gay if it’s with Tebow, who will be back for his senior season. Also: Tebow has to go back to Baton Rouge this season. We wouldn’t miss that for the birth of our first legitimate child, much less anything else.

Be shocked and awed at your own awesomeness, people: EDSBS readers gave over $3,000 to RRISA’s Youth Programs yesterday alone, a superb accomplishment exceeding our wildest expectations. Warm fuzzies all around. Pete Carroll reminds you that you get what you give, angels.

We’ll be going for another two days, and the theme today–if you haven’t donated yet–is to donate your score. The theme came from this conversation we had yesterday with Paedia Mixon, the head of the youth program at RRISA:

Paedia: Is there any significance to the number $31.20?

Paedia: I KNEW IT!!!

You clever, clever people, you. Alabama fans, give $36.00! Auburn fans, you…well, we suggest you add some zeros to the 3-2 Mississippi State score, or if you like you can rub our noses in it and donate $20.17. ACC fans, you may give the default donation of $24.17, since that is the final score for 60% of all conference scores! Big 12 fans, you may downshift a bit and give a retro score, since $62,51, while generous, may be out of some of your budgets, and we understand that.

Learn more about RRISA’s youth programs here; click here to donate. Be sure that under the “Please indicate the donation type & details” tab you select “Special Events” and then list “EDSBS” in the space immediately following it. Personally, we’re sending in a donation for $49.10 ASAP.

Thank you all. We will keep you posted on the results. Hugs hugs kisses kisses thanks.

You may have noticed an omission in the list of things we were thankful for in the Naked Sushi picks for the week. That blank: you, left out intentionally so we can devote this post to thank you, the cantankerous but lovable reader, for wasting your school/work time supporting this website and its assorted endeavors. Hugs all around, especially to those we’ve wronged, like one former Florida quarterback we swore would never win an important game at Florida. We were wrong, and thank you for proving us so.

We were wrong, Chris. Hugs.

We’re off to remember friends and family’s names until Saturday. We suggest you do the same. Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks to Florida for giving us the best present we’ll get all year long, which you may see after the jump.

Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!

We rarely pre-empt the Curious Index. Today, there is a reason. Read on, because Holly found something majestic.

Raise ya glasses, shake ya asses, Vol Nation: For unto us is given this day that greatest of football blogosphere treasures—a Catlab masterpiece of our very own. It’s like staring into the sun, but it’ll get you drunk. Behold:

Have you ever seen anything ring so true? I’m about 85% sure the guy holding the pennant is my cousin Maxie. Had this wondrous creation hatched just a scant few days earlier, we would’ve been hard-pressed not to scrap the Tennessee list entirely—because this is, perfectly encapsulated, what Orange And White People Like.

Begin.

We crossed the 5 million mark in visitors today. Much thanks to all. In honor of the event, of course: shitty photoshop.

Thanks to all for stopping by. We love every last single one of you.
