And so, apparently, do a lot of people. If you're like us, and also hate the new clock rules, then after you contact the NCAA personally (see post from yesterday), then go here and sign the petition. A sampling of other people who hate the new clock rules... Santa Claus: "This new clock rule? What a bitch." Paris Hilton: "The new clock rule? So not hot." Andre The Giant: "Were I alive now, I'd sign the petition. And then I'd crack some NCAA skulls." ...
Things That Suck
Willingham v. French, DEATH NOT OPTION
Well the Floridian winner (Andrew Kim French) who left a racially charged phone message for former ND head coach Tyrone Willingham pleaded guilty today. The judge slapped him with a $2000 fine and placed him on probation for another year. My favorite piece of all this is his "defense": "French has said he was drunk, under peer pressure and not using good judgment when he made the 3 a.m. call and left a message for Willingham... ... His attorney, Robert Truitt, said French had matured a ...
I’m Guessing This Is Fake.
But it just seems too real. It has to be fake, right? [youtube]nI6hqtJWtOQ[/youtube] Nice Double-wide. ...
Do You Hear A Million Voices Crying Out? That’s All Because Jen Sterger has a Job.
Jen Sterger, the girl who stole America's heart last year by portraying the ditzy slut all decked out in cowgirl gear during an FSU Home Game, has a job as an advice columnist. Three things worry me here. Jen Sterger was given a job giving out advice. People are actually asking Jen Sterger for advice about things that do not involve bikinis. Jen Sterger has managed to make her advice column gig last since February. Bonus: I'm so detached from this world, I had no idea about the 3 ...

Laugh At the Old Guy (AKA the Joe Pa blooper reel)
It really is too easy to keep taking pot shots at ol' Joe Pa but I'll be damned if we don't keep finding good stuff. It's almost as this blog is writing itself. I'm now officially convinced this guy doesn't dress himself in the morning. [googlevideo]-1137447702280413132[/googlevideo] ...
Paterno, The Early Years…
So I figured I'd try and lampoon Joe Pa in my next post. The logical 1st step is to find a few good pictures of your subject because, as any good writing teacher will tell you, "Step 1, find funny pictures. Step 2, Create a title. Step 3, determine your subject." Anyway, being the dutiful writer that I am, I did a google image search for "Paterno." The usual angry, undead, fire breathing pictures popped up, but after a quick scan I discovered images from an Italian museum all titled ...
USA Loses To Greece in Basketball World Chamionships, er, World Basketball Championships. Um, I mean FIBA… Whatever.
The world stopped staring at the clock for the start of college football today for about 2.8 seconds to take notice that a bunch of NBA "talent" lost to Grease in the World Basketball Championships, or something. Most American Men age 18-35 didn't even know the NBA was still playing basketball and wonder what they will do if this current season overlaps into the start of the next season. Meanwhile, most of the populace's response to this news was a collective shrug and a request not to ...
VaTech Boosters Scramble to Fund Frank Beamer’s New “Fines for Flags” Program
Boosters of the Virginia Technical Institute Football Program are rushing to put together enough funds to mitigate the effects of a new "Fines for Flags" program put together by their Special Teams Coach/Head Coach Frank Beamer. Beamer intends to fine $100 dollars from a player's bowl-stipend for every personal foul they draw. Beamer also intends to make the players run a 100 yard sprint for every yard of penalties for which that player is penalized. The VaTech Boosters have not released any ...
Poodle Pete Says He’s Looking for a 3-Technique DT. Men Everywhere Nod Knowingly.
Poodle is looking to find himself a decent 3-Technique Defensive Tackle. Probably nothing surprising there. What's sent the world into a tizzy is that if you follow this link and read the little sidebar next to the main article, you'll see that someone outside of an actual football program has gone and explained what the hell "3-Technique" actually means. The author of this little blurb lets the masses behind the curain with: The "3-technique" describes where the defensive tackle lines up ...
