The finest haul of internet linkage you'll ever see. On this website. Today. Yarr.
--USC's Rudy gets into the game! And meanwhile, Notre Dame's Rudy speaks to the Paramus, New Jersey Realtors' convention at 11:00 before a 1:00 unscheduled call in to WFAN, where he will announce himself as "Rudy of Rudy fame."
Rudy of Rudy fame would be Rudy happy to Rudy speak at your event or Rudy party.
--Your latest unsubstantiated Alabama coaching rumor: Frank Beamer. Are Alabama fans ready for the power of Jenkins? We think not.
--Mike Leach is our favorite speciously rumored replacement for Larry Coker at Miami.
The notion of Miami players swinging helmets in an on-field brawl with a fifty point lead while their head coach thumbs through the pages of Pirate Monthly just tickles us in that special way.
--2006 will feature just as many plays as 2005 in college football, according to the Wiz and his cohort in rule 3-2-5-e monitoring, CFBstats. How? An additional 12th game, which combined with the clock rules has added up to something like a net 1% loss in total football play for the '06 season compared to '05. The upside: Florida and Texas got one hundred percent more Western Carolina and Sam Houston State. WOOO!!! Cupcakes.
--Minnesota made a bowl. So did 6-6 Iowa. Like the last days of a noble bulldog, you may suffer bloat and boredom in the last days of your 2006 season before the offseason puts you down.
--John Lopez explains why no one cares about Houston football. Dude, with an M.F.A. program like that, you know football's always going to be the second banana to the live poetry reading series, man. Seamus Heaney's reading on Saturday? Fuck the game.
Apologies: that hair is more interesting than Kevin Kolb will ever be.
--81Dog has his own cocktail for dismayed Georgia Tech alums. It's not called the High-Ball, so don't get any ideas.
--Florida's scheduling doesn't appear to be getting much stronger in the long run, according to Orange and Blue Hue. What they haven't taken into account is the improvement of up-and-coming programs; that Florida International program's on the way up, dammit.
--Clay Travis continues his brilliant tour of the Southland with a stop in the Egg Bowl. This is him with his wife, apropos of nothing:
Bloggers get babes. It's scientific fact now. Hot blogger groupies to follow.
--Michael Ventre (tastefully monikered with a surname meaning "belly" in French) thinks the Irish don't deserve a slot in a BCS bowl. This may be true, but Ventre misses the larger point: given the success of Saw, Hostel, and the upcoming Turistas, isn't the yen for a BCS bowl for Notre Dame more proof of America's manifest voyeuristic bloodlust? Wagging moral finger while wondering what happened to good old fashioned entertainment like Our House and Hart to Hart!!!
--Jim Donnan on the usually unbearable 680 the Fan here in Atlanta, commenting on the upcoming Wake Forest/Georgia Tech ACC Championship Game in Jacksonville: "It's the world's smallest cocktail party."
Erlenmeyer flasks full of O'Doul's for all!
Shots for everyone! Just make sure to wash them out first.
