Mother Nature, you coy little thing. You’re working with Fate today, aren’t you? Casting that blue-gray sky over my head as I find myself needing hot coffee while I peruse the morning’s college football news. Making sure it smells like football. Real football. Not South Carolina two-a-days football, but crisp-air, orange leaf, bratwurst cookin’ in the morning light football. Reminding me that the season is oh so close and summer is fleeting.
The Roundup:
- Why don’t I think Kiffykins will be a success at Tennessee? You mean aside from the doughy, boyish exterior? Maybe his total lack of sense will suffice as an explanation.
- Okay. Sit down. Sitting? Good. Because this is a link to a MGoBlog post. Yes. I know. I know! But look! Stevie Brown is going to play the strong-side LB position! STEVIE. BROWN. Yes! THAT STEVIE! AT SAM! I KNOW! Someone go ask if Weis is currently working on running plays where they just hand the ball to Golden Tate and have him run in Stevie’s direction while everyone else stands around. “Death Backer?” More like “Dead Backer.” Snap!
- Bet this kid is glad he doesn’t play for George O’Leary.
- Weis always made it awkward for Boston fans. He was a big part of their success back in the day, but he’s also a Yankees fan. I’m sure the hatred Cubs fans will feel will be less conflicted.
- Darius Fleming spent the summer doing the Prowler. (HT: Rakes)
- The more he talks, the more we’re convinced that Jack Swarbrick hates the 7-4-1 model.
- SoCal must be beating the crap out of each other in practice. They keep breaking things.
- He’s like Rudy, but for Clemson. So he probably didn’t have to apply very many times to get in.
- Mike Brey had a chat with a blog.
- Louisianna-Lafayette laissez les bons temps rouler! (HT: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Headlinin-Did-an-NFL-player-accidentally-put-B?urn=ncaaf,184362#remaining-content)
- With the season nearly here, perhaps you need 21 New Ways to serve hamburger in your repertoire.
- …or perhaps you’d like 100 ways to use a strip of bacon.
- “Ducks are the college football version of Paris Hilton…they’re famous for no reason, they look pretty and they got a rich daddy.â€
- Holy Cow! ND is telling students to arrive on campus with paper masks!
- This is a pretty good list of 5 things I, too, would not want to see, but I could make such a worse list with the simple addition of “dysentery.”
Scheduling Note: We don’t really expect a Friday Roundup next week. We’ll be a bit busy. The plan, for now, is to create an “open links post” where you, the readers, can throw some links of interest up. Remember, we’re all counting on you.

Bad Kermit
I don’t know which thought is more repulsive: Weis sitting in Pujols’ suite or Weis sitting on a beach. How many times did the other beach-goers try to roll him back into the sea?

“the readers, can throw some links of interest up. Remember, we’re all counting on you.”
That is a big, BIG mistake. 😉
