Friday Roundup: The “Jack-o-Lantern Jealousy” Edition

We moved recently into a much more family-oriented neighborhood than we've inhabited in the past. Since there are just a ton of young families in the area, there are also a ton of fully decorated homes for Halloween. Some of the homes are so well decorated, my Lou Holtz jack-o-lantern has pumpkin envy.

The Roundup:

• It's not that #23 South Florida is now 1-3 in the Big East. It's that South Florida was 1-2 in the freaking Big East and still #23. What. The. Hell? And if you watched the game last night, you know that it wasn't even as close as the final score would indicate.
• A freaking TE taking 2nd string QB snaps. Wow. Wait. That's vaguely familiar.
• Here's a wild idea: The SEC is o-ver-ra-ted! Clap clap clap-clap-clap!
• I suppose there are some downfalls to playing in paradise.
• I think what this is saying is that Notre Dame could lose at the last second to anybody in the ACC
• And hey! Look at that! ND could lose to anybody in the ACC in a bowl game! (My prediction, just so we're clear: ND will slaughter any ACC team they play in a bowl game)
• So weird. I keep reading pieces like this one, and never seem to read the name "Barwis" anymore.
• You know what's funny about that, Pete, is that 47.6% conversion rate is much lower than it was before they played the Irish!
• Not only was there a question, but it was one that Ron Zook couldn't answer.
• How sweet would it be to see "Puppy" go absolutely whacko on Pitt this weekend?
• Note to Husky fans: Careful what you wish for.
• "It's not his actual home," Leach said as fans surged in. "[Sherlock Holmes] wasn't real, you know."

And the Beer of the Week is Rogue's Dead Guy Ale because A) it's great and B) it was actually first produced for All Soul's Day - November 1st 2nd. Oh, and you can buy it all over the place in 64oz growlers. Awesome.
