CAVMAN: In his Atlantic seaboard hideout sharpening his blade without a care in the world, because who needs a solid football team when you have a laser-eyed statue of Mr. Jefferson on your side?
Where you’re headed, what you’re watching, and what you’re grilling in the white spaces below, if you please. Have a clown-flu-free weekend, one and all.
A collection of un-random weather and injury information possibly relevant to football related events this weekend.
-Florida will likely play without LB Brandon Spikes, DL Brandon Marsh, and DL Jaye Howard for the Mississippi State game. Weather will be lovely, clear and sunny with a high of 65 during the day while dipping to a chilly 38 at night. The kick is at 7:30. None of this sounds ominous to any of you, right? (Ignores huge sword hung over head…)
-The track tomorrow for Georgia Tech at Virginia will be a muddy one, meaning they’ll have to put the special horseshoes on Jonathan Dwyer. Don’t mind all the whinnying he’s making; the vets assure us he has no sensation in his feet whatsoever, and that the nails cause him no pain at all.
-Boston College and Notre Dame will play with a 50% chance of precipitation. (more…)
Holly: OK. Georgia Tech at UVa, just for giggles, because I think we both know where this one is headed.
Spencer Hall: I’m going to anti-anti you here. I think Georgia Tech wins this because the last thing you would expect Al Groh to do here is win, and Al Groh does one thing better than everyone else: he hates your ass and football. And he wants you to be wrong about football. BEES.
Holly: Diabolical. And while I see your point, I also remember that Georgia Tech tried very hard to ruin football for all of us in that Miami game, and haven’t quite forgiven them despite their kind defeat of VT. The Hokies out of any possible top five contention means both of these: order is restored to the universe, and an equal and opposite universe-upsetting reaction is heading our way. TIMECUBE’D
Holly: Next: Arkansas-Ole Miss. GIGGITY BOWL. Final score: Eleventy to tangerine. (more…)
Shit happens, but it rains elephant dung sideways for Florida in Starkville, where Florida has not won since 1985. 3rd and 57 happens there, and Dan Mullen is willing to endure whatever travails he has to in order to make that happen again. Even if it means eating the savage food these people prepare for him without complaint.
He said he went on such an intense monthlong speaking tour that at one point he ate catfish, hush puppies and cole slaw four consecutive meals.
The sacrifices made in the name of Mississippi State football know no end, padawan. Brandon Spikes is about 50/50 with a groin injury to play on Saturday, effectively meaning the County Assessor stays on the sidelines for the Miss State game. Gulp.
Do not feed them after midnight, either. Boise has very strict rules during its trip to Hawaii. First: they fly charter only, because commercials is for the poor peoplez. Second: they stay in Waikiki, where it’s most ballingest. Third?
“No one is to go into the water,” said Viliami Tuivai, the director of football operations.
Cause them oceans is mad dangerous, and the last thing the equipment manager wants to put on the pregame injury list is “Kellen Moore, QB, out (SHARKBITE)” Try ’splaining that to angry Hawaiian bookies, won’t you?
At least it’s not a service academy. Notre Dame! Beefing up its schedule with Western Michigan! When are they going to nut up and play a real team? Charleston Southern is ready and waiting when you are, sirs, though this year’s Boston College team could count depending on which offense shows up, with your choices being the ACC version (actually scores) and the non-ACC version (wallows around on the field and dies.)
On further review both are equally spotty. Seriously, we’re functioning on two cylinders at best this week. Apologies.
Not good. Yeah, this? Not real promising regarding CTE and the possibility that even college players could suffer from it.
Snitch, please. Witnesses in the Jasper Howard stabbing are being threatened online.
