OWWWWWWWW.
We love defense. This is why.

CLIMER, DOOLEY: THIS MEANS SOMETHING
David Climer of The Tennessean and Pat Dooley of the Gainesville Sun each pen their “this means something” columns for UT-UF week. Advantage Dooley for mentioning the apocryphal story about a Florida fan pissing in a cup and tossing the contents at Phil Fulmer’s wife during a Gainesville matchup in the 1990s.
THE METEOR GAME
Georgia Sports, writing in the Onion mode, says Tennessee vs. Florida is a meteor game for the ages: the game where, rather than one team winning, you want a meteor to strike the stadium and see both smote from the face of the earth.
Giggleworthy quote:
Son: “So, I think I get it. But how big a meteor are we rooting for, Daddy?”
Father: “Son, we’re rooting for the kind of meteor you hire Aerosmith to write a song about.”
Son: “Geez, that’s a big one.”
If we could line up the stars just right, ours would hit Neyland Stadium three seconds prior to kickoff for FSU at UT, 2008.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS ARE THE BEST
Here’s one for Warren in case he hasn’t already posted it. Ryan Hamby, the tight end for Ohio State who dropped a potential touchdown pass, has been receiving hate e-mail. Yup, this is pretty much what amateur athletics are all about. Warms the heart.
GET YOUR HATE ON: FULMER HATEFEST COUNTDOWN, DAY 3
That shiny bird with the lights on it? Yeah, bring it down and batter-fry that bitch-NOW !
And we couldn’t forget this internet legend, either:

IT’S TIME TO GET FLAPJACK NUTS AS WE PUT OUT OUR WEEK 3 BLOGPOLL BALLOT
We are now getting a body of work to judge these teams on-and not just hype-so it is slowly coming into focus. There are still some teams out there who have yet to face a real test so we expect next week’s ballot could look alot different than this… but then again, isn’t that the point? The AP is too caught up in inertia. Once a team is high, the slide is slow even when it is apparent that they suck (yes Oklahoma, we’re looking at you) and the converse is true too (unless you’re Notre Dame). Well, we aren’t bound by those constraints so we intend to continue to call it like we see it… even if it means we go flap jack nuts every now and then and forget to add Florida to the poll. Without further ado, on to the rankings.
Urban Meyer reminding EDSBS to concentrate this time before doing the first draft of the blog poll ballot.
MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: ‘UMI ‘UMI EDITION
Bill from ATL Eagle, focused like a laser during the MSU-Hawaii game last Saturday, was nice enough to remind us of three things:
1. June Jones totally has the Applebee’s bartender mustache going on here.
Another kamikaze with your cheese sticks, ma’am?
2. The Hawaiian word for mustache is ‘umi ‘umi.

MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY IS HERE AGAIN!
In honor of Notre Dame’s big win, we offer you the Fighting Irish edition of our Mustache of the Day.
He just looks like a good offensive line coach.
ELEVEN IN A ROW FOR WANNSTEDT
News flash, Pitt fans: Dave Wannstedt has now lost 10 of his last 11 games. In more embarrassing news, ESPN has Pitt ranked in their bottom 10-nationwide. Chas from Pitt Sports Blather sums it up in a superb roundup of the debacle that has been the opening two games of the Panthers’ season:
And finally, ESPN.com’s bottom 10 puts Pitt right there at #10. We’re in no position to dispute right now.
Tang Dynasty proverb: hu hen da, yun xiao xiao de. (Big mustache, small luck in extremely poor Chinese.)
OKLAHOMA SUSPENDS PETERSON
Adrian Peterson has been suspended from practice for violating an Oklahoma policy regarding class attendance (maybe he should have been a Volunteer). Stoops says he’ll decide later in the week whether Peterson will play against UCLA this week. Given Oklahoma’s production from the 10 guys on offense not named Peterson, it seems unlikely he’ll sit.
