DMQ is busy with, like, a job and a baby and stuff. So you get me this week. Poor you.
Not a 6-er. Keith over at NBC has the 12-pack for this week. It’s sort of like the round-up, but with less snark and from a real journalist. I was hoping he meant suds, but Keith is way too ‘professional’ for his 12-pack to be beer. We’ll share our own shortly.
Feck This. In his 12-er, Keith mentions an article on Team Reckless. Much better name than Team Feckless, which is made up of Kiffin’s favorites at USC. Anyway, you can learn more about Reckless and Gray’s attempts to join, here.
Puppets Sell Out. Over at THRB, the puppets continue their irreverent run, this time as shills for Adidas’ new jerseys. I absolutely love the production value here.
No, I’m not linking to a jersey story other than that one. I am over TechFit already.
ND Announcer Wants USC to Play NorCal Schools. Haden’s not so sure about the new divisions in the Pac-12, and he really wants to be sure to play Cal and Stanford. You know, to keep the USC kids grounded and stuff.
Sadly, They Won’t Get Jobs if They Don’t. We Never Graduate hosts the IBG this week. We posted our answers quite early (no extra points for punctuality, eh?), so we thought we’d give you a reminder. Reminder.
Butch Davis is On It. Amongst losing his top players because of agent-money-shadiness, and academic fraud issues and the general disintegration of his program, UNC Coach Butch Davis is taking the right steps to right the ship. Yep, by banning Twitter. Good job, Butch. Way to focus on the important stuff.
The beer this week is an ale, because that’s what I drink. I drink freaking Ales. Given the slightly earlier start time this week, it got me thinking about morning beers. Because soon enough kickoff times will shift back even further, which means the drinking here on the Left Coast will be likely to start around 9:30AM. And there is no better Breakfast Beer than Boddington’s. Smooth, creamy, and British, somehow it feels like I’m actually getting some good calories out of this joy of an AM Brew.
Enjoy the weekend, Her Loyal Readers. We’ll see you next week, after an Irish W. And we will miss you deeply while we part ways. /shedssingletear /cracksBoddingtons at 9:14am on a Friday /forgetsallaboutyoubitches
Don't take me, yourself, or life so seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
Biscuit co-founded HerLoyalSons in partnership with his ND roommate (Dillon Hall baby!), MQ, in 2006 and has been ranting about ND Football and everything Notre Dame since. He strongly believes in the mission of ND and its football program. Biscuit expects logic and data in arguments and will absolutely crush you if you come to a debate missing one or the other. He despises everything Michigan, and his favorite pastime is mocking Purdue.

Have been drinking Boddingtons for years….Good choice. Go Irish, Beat them by 40 please.
Boddingtons is a delicious ale. Stocking stuffer in my family for a long, long time.
Are we going to look like team Robocop?…..Why would Haden want to play Stanford?(maybe so he can fire Kiffin faster)……I’ll be heading out about 6pm, place I’m going(yeah, they know my name) has 52 beers on tap and I don’t know how many in bottles..What a dilemma.
Boddingtons is on the menu…..expect a review sometime in the next 24hrs.
I’ll expect a review of an otherwise unknown beer, since you’re going to such a place.
Speaking of DMQ….is there anyway you could post up a link to a list of every beer you’ve recommened? A DMQ Hall of Pain, if you will?
That way we mortal men can know what beers have been spoken of on this site. We can’t know where we’re going unless we know where we’ve been.
Heh. That wasn’t meant quite the way I think you took it. I just like encouraging people to try new beers. I figured TLNDMA already knew Bod’s quite well.
I will say, I first had Bod’s Sr. year of HS, and it was a revelation. It’s an excellent intro to “new” flavors in beer to American consumers.
So I jumped ship in Hong Kong, and made my way over to Taiwan. Actually, not true, my former company sent me there to build a chemical plant. Anyway, after about a year in living in the Taiwanese backwater known as Tainan (think Charleston SC) surrounded by nothing other than light tasting lagers (Tiger, San Miguel, Budweiser), I decide to road-trip around the country during the Chinese New Year.
I find myself in Taipei, walk into a friendly-looking eating place, and they got Boddington’s on tap. OH MY GOD.
Had to roll me out of the place. I fuzzily remember the gal behind the bar pouring me glass #3 and saying “You really like this beer!” I don’t even think I ate that night.
I feel ya, E-Man.
Food makes me sick.
Boddington’s in Taiwan. Doesn’t get much better than that.
B-man I really should’nt have one for breakfast.
Ok, guess you guys don’t need the review, there is some Boddingtons in my fridge now though. DMQ, will have a couple for ya by middle of week. please excuse me if I recommend one you already know of. BTW if you’re ever in central Mass. and you want to know where to go, I’m your man.
I would never be offended by people recc’ing beers I already know. I was just trying to encourage you to try something new at that wonderful-sounding bar. I think my favorite part of drinking beer is all the new beer I can try. It’s sort like wine without the sticker shock.
I’m on it.
Ahh, reminds me of a sign I noticed in a bar outside Boston containing what is perhaps the greatest phrase I’ve ever seen: “Beer – It’s not just for breakfast ANYMORE!”
The only problem(well not the only one) with breakfast beers, is the sun.
Yep. Brutal as the day goes. Gotta switch it up.
