Were we the only ones who got seriously freakin’ annoyed with ESPN for periodically interrupting their round-the-clock coverage of the Nick Saban Going to Alabama story with footage and commentary from some sort of college football bowl game or some such nonsense last night? What’s wrong with these people? Don’t they know we’d much rather hear the same speculation about the amount of Bama’s supposedly forthcoming offer, over and over again? Keep reading →

Damn skippy: Geaux Huskers. Conference loyalty be damned: we’ll always hope for Auburn to lose, even if they’re playing in a title game against USC.

UPDATE: Meh. Auburn 17, Nebraska 14. Seriously effed up play calling on Nebraska’s last drive.

That’ll teach us to turn off a 21-3 game at halftime. Alas, the football gods didn’t want us to miss this one, so they awakened us at 4:30-ish this a.m. by inserting Dolly Parton and all her agedness into a dream that had been going really, really well, if you know what we’re sayin’. No, seriously– that really happened, we’re not making it up. Buhhh!!! So anyway, we were up just in time to catch the 2nd half of the replay.

You might expect us to come out with some crude but clever wordplay involving Georgia OC Mike Bobo and Frank Beamer’s facial bobo, and admittedly it did cross our mind, but we have a standing policy here against making fun of that thing ever since we got the background on it. Anyway, we’re glad VT got their asses handed to them. They’ve been on our shiz list for a while after they weaseled out of that game they owed us. We can’t wait to get them in Tiger Stadium next year, assuming they actually have the nads to come this time.
