Right now, we are all message boarders when it comes to conference expansion. The unit of "all" includes ESPN, whose rumor board is now citing "influential message boarders" when it comes to picking out clear rumors about expansion. Take note of it: for one special moment, Joe Schad, Wildcat9384eva, the New York Times, and you all occupy the same tier of information, and the only definite news besides Colorado's move to the Pac-10 is Boise's official move to the Mountain West. 

Nevertheless, let's try to sort through this together, people. it's time to--

Crazy Old Testament God: HELLO ORSON HOW ARE YOU TODAY DON'T ANSWER I ACTUALLY DON'T CARE. COWER BEFORE OLD TESTAMENT GOD. 

Orson: Define cower. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: MORE THAN THAT PISSPOOR EFFORT. 

Orson: /cowers properly

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: GOOD FORM. REMINDED ME OF A FRIGHTENED CHILD IN A TORNADO I SAW LAST WEEK. 

Orson: Did you let him go? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: HAHAHAHA DOES LANE KIFFIN COMMIT THE SIN OF ONAN IN A MIRROR? 

Orson: Yes, and yes then. When are you going to smite him, btw?

 

Holygrail049_medium 

COTG: JUNE 10TH, 2010, 7 A.M. WESTERN DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME, MORTAL. 

Orson: Done and done, then. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: I HAVE SOME PROSTATE CANCER WAITING JUST IN CASE BUT FRANKLY HE NEEDS NO HELP FROM ME. SAY DO YOU HAVE A WET/DRY VAC I CAN USE? 

Orson: No, I don't. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: /smiteystare

Orson: Sorry. Those things are huge, and my house is blogger-tiny.

Orson: /shrugs

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: /sighs 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: DIONYSUS MADE A HORRENDOUS MESS UP HERE LAST NIGHT. YOU MIGHT THINK HE'D STICK TO WINE BUT WHEN THE TEQUILA CAME OUT THINGS KIND OF GOT OUT OF HAND. 

Orson: I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: HE VOMITED ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE FOURTH MORMON SUB-HEAVEN MAY TAKE YEARS TO CLEAN UP. 

Orson:  They are busy little bees aren't they? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: WE WON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT WHAT HE TALKED THEM INTO DOING WITH THEIR BODY HOLES AFTER HE GOT THEM DRUNK. THEY ARE DILIGENT IN EVERYTHING THEY DO AND ARE LIKELY QUITE SORE IN A VERY PERSONAL WAY TODAY. 

Orson: Don't you have a challenge for me? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: WOULD SMALL TALK BE MORE TOLERABLE IF YOU WERE COVERED IN BOILS? 

Orson: [pauses] Depends, really. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: [covers Orson in boils] 

Orson: In this case, no. No this does not make it more pleasant. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: I WANT YOU TO DIVINE WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH COLLEGE FOOTBALL EXPANSION SO I MAY DISCUSS THIS WITH MY OFFICE MATES. 

Orson: I...I don't know. Wait, aren't you supposed to know? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: YES AHAHAHA AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO YOU WILL GET THIS WRONG BECAUSE I WILL SIMPLY CHANGE IT AND THEN SMITE YOU ANYWAY. 

Orson: I'm sensing a pattern here. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: NO SHIT SHERLOCK PERHAPS NEXT YOU WILL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING LIKE HOW I HATE THE ENTIRE STATE OF LOUISIANA, BAYLOR FOOTBALL, AND KOALAS. 

Orson: You've been trying to kill all three off for years. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: MY ADDERALL SOURCE IS SKETCHY AND SOMETIMES RUNS DRY FOR MONTHS. I BLAME THIS FOR MY DIVIDED ATTENTION AND INABILITY TO COMPLETE LAW SCHOOL. SATAN DID IT SO EASILY. 

Orson: You'd think that would be like an automatic for you. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: WELL, MY SKETCHY SOURCE IS THE REASON I'M TRYING TO BUM A WET/DRY VAC OFF A RAINN WILSON CLONE HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL? 

Orson: Very well. These...these burn. Could you do something about them? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: CALL ME PURDUE BECAUSE IM MAKING BOILS. [doubles number of boils]

Orson: Good christ, that smarts. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: HE HEARD THAT BUT HE FORGIVES YOU. NEVER LIKED HIS STYLE. 

Orson: They're the "Boilermakers," by the way. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: AH. PERHAPS THAT'S WHY MY CURSES HAVE ONLY BEEN HALF-EFFECTIVE AGAINST THEM. OH WELL LIVING IN WEST LAFAYETTE INDIANA WILL HAVE TO BE ENOUGH. THERE'S A LOT ON MY PLATE. 

Orson: So...I think the Pac-16 plan is a go, but with Baylor going in place of A&M, who joins the SEC along with Virginia Tech, forcing a renegotiation of the SEC's TV deal since in principle they won't be the same entity that made the initial arrangement. The lawyers will be nice-y nice-y about it, I'm sure. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT GENGHIS KHAN, PIKES AND BABIES. 

Orson: That worked out well for Genghis, at least. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: HE'S GOT A SWEET SPREAD IN HELL. 

Orson: Flatscreens? 

COTG: PLASMA. PLUSH COUCHES. MORE ASS THAN A TENNESSEE MULE DRIVE, TOO. 

Orson: I think the Big Ten misses on any hopes of ND, and will until NBC totally runs out of money. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: THAT'S IN 2016 BTW. PRO TIP FROM YOURS TRULY BECAUSE I'M GOING TO HAVE THEM PURCHASE THE RIGHTS TO THE LAST LAW AND ORDER FRANCHISES IN DEVELOPMENT. 

Orson: Wait, those are really successful, right? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: YES BUT I DOUBT "LAW AND HOARDERS" WILL DO WELL ESPECIALLY AFTER SAM WATERSTON IS KILLED BY A FALLING STACK OF FULL ADULT DIAPERS IN THE FIRST EPISODE. 

Orson: Right. Well, then the ACC loses a team, and then guts the Big East, and the Mountain West moves up in the ranks while the Big East continues its decline into zombiehood. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: THIS IS SOUNDING SURPRISINGLY LIKELY. DOES THE PAC-16 FORM ITS OWN TV NETWORK? 

Orson: Here's where I think I differ: i think if the money's right, Fox is sitting right there waiting to give the Pac-16 its own local media rights for each team while giving them the big guaranteed money too. Like the SEC's deal, but bigger. I think that's what Texas would demand, since their local deal would be huge, and they don't want to give that up. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: UMM...LET ME CHECK ON THAT. HEY! YEAH, YOU! ARE YOU GOING TO BID FOR THE RIGHTS TO THE NEW PAC-16'S TV RIGHTS. 

Darkness_medium

SATAN/FOX: Man, you hear everything!

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: I HAVE UNLIMITED MINUTES ON MY PLAN AND USE THEM BRAH. 

 

Darkness_medium

SATAN/FOX: Damn right we are. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: THANKS MAN. YOUR PECS LOOK HUGE. YOU BEEN WORKING OUT? 

Darkness_medium

SATAN/FOX: Just clean living, baby! 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: LOL KEEP IT UP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING AND SAY HELLO TO LISA AND THE KIDS FOR ME. 

[They fist bump with hand explosion.]

Orson: I'd always suspected as much. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: YOUR SCENARIO IS SPECIOUS AND HALF-CORRECT, MORTAL. 

Orson: Well, we'll see, won't we. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: WELL MAYBE NOT "WE," EXACTLY. 

Orson: Is this the part where you blind me? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: NO I HAVEN'T BEEN INTO THAT SINCE THE 1700s. PEOPLE GOT ALONG TOO WELL AFTER A WHILE ESPECIALLY ONCE I RAN OUT OF WOLVES BEARS AND OTHER FUN THINGS TO THROW AT THEM. 

Orson: Passe, then? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: GOT TOUGHER, TOO. TRIED TO KILL STEVIE WONDER SIX DIFFERENT WAYS NOW AND HE JUST KEEPS GOING. 

Orson: Innervisions really is a great album, though. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: TALKING BOOK IS MY PREFERRED JAM FROM HIS CLASSIC PERIOD. FINAL CHALLENGE FOR YOU, MORTAL! NAME THE FINEST TRACK OFF OF THAT CLASSIC ALBUM! 

Orson: Um, "Sunshine of My Life?" 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: INCORRECT THE ANSWER IS "SUPERSTITION." 

Orson: Because you shouldn't believe in things you don't understand? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: NO BECAUSE YOU SHOULD ORSON. BECAUSE YOU SHOULD. 

Orson: Like what? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: I "S-MIGHT" TELL YOU. 

Orson: Just get it over with. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: IT'S A S-MIGHTY GOOD QUESTION HAHAHAHA GET IT? 

Orson: Kill me. This is worse than death. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: YOU KNOW WHO MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO IS? 

Orson: S-mighty Mouse? 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: YOU'RE NO FUN BUT I WILL SING ANYWAY TO SATISFY MY CRAVING FOR HORRIBLE PUNS. 

Orson: I can't stop you. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: IN THAT SENSE I AM LIKE JIM DELANY. ALSO, NEITHER OF US WEARS UNDERWEAR.

Orson: I had him figured for a briefs man. White. Ironed. With his name in them. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: INCORRECT. HE IS FREE AS THE BREEZE AND BETWEEN US HANGS TO MID-THIGH WHEN LIMP. 

Orson: And now I'm begging you for it. 

Holygrail049_medium

COTG: LUCKY YOU THEN HERE HE COMES TO SAVE THE DAAAAAYYYYY! SMITE-Y MOUSE IS ON HIS WAAYYYYYYYY

[Smites boil-covered Orson]
