BLOGTOBERFEST: JAKE LOCKER EATS PAIN EDITION

New, 19 comments

The finest of the finest of the finest of the Blogosphere, all just waiting for your otherwise productive eyes. Your company's future=ska-roooed.

Washington qb and Tim Tebow double Jake Locker will not go out of bounds even though he suffered a hellacious hit along the sidelines that knocked him out of the game. Hey, it worked for Dave Ragone, and if that isn't a ringing endorsement of something, we don't know what is.

Deuce of Davenport makes a bit of time for the Cal band doing video game theme music. Name them all and we will get a live girl to sleep with you! Ha! Because video game guys never get laid! Get it!

Black Heart, Gold Pants has a maturity test for you. We failed miserably.

As usual, an economist points out just how stupid and irrational you are. Ohio State economist Trevon Logan studies how voters vote in the AP poll, and comes to the following conclusions in a new paper. His conclusions:

Contrary to conventional wisdom, I find that (1) it is better to lose later in the season than earlier, (2) AP voters do not pay attention to the strength of a defeated opponent, and (3) the benefit of winning by a large margin is negligible. I conclude by noting how these results inform debates about a potential playoff in college football.

Meaning the "once you're good, it's hard to convince people you're un-good" theory of AP voting is likely true. Another interesting question is what we'll call the "Kansas Question:" how long must a team win out before polls designate them as being legitimate contenders?

Chad Henne joins Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson as openly enthusiastic public Soulja Boys. Life before Flash animation was a dark, sad place.

Nebraska's rage knows no depths. This is proof.
