Olsen's very good, but not quite consistent enough to be called great yet. He should be available for one of them.

I let Kotz sleep in my bathtub for free in exchange for fashion tips.

The amazing Boise plays were fantastic, but the fact that they came on top of the 2-pt conversion tries and the pick six made them even better. And Peterson's "fuck you, I'm Adrian Peterson" run, too. It was such an absolute up-and-down cycle for both teams for the entire fourth quarter and OT.

OH COMMA SNAP

Even Byron the Bulb is rockin' the college football thread. We have arrived.

HOOK AND FUCKING LADDER CUMSHOT

Potatoes peeled. Somewhere in Norman, a man looks up and ejaculates all over himself.

Goddammit Fiesta Bowl, I need to go to bed.

I haven't seen any football robots yet. Product differentiation! You know what else sucks? The Orange Bowl commercial with the Wake and Louisville players climbing the ladder to, like, heaven or whatever. That shit might vaguely fly for the NFL playoffs, but certainly not in college football.

This is just awesome in every single way. Oklahoma has started to play absolutely retarded. Pour it on, boys.

I know I picked OU in Bored's contest, but if I could just see that first TD play happen another 3-4 times, I'd be thrilled to lose.

Fuck yeah! Walt Whitman quotes! Opera music! Fox is just absolutely fucking ridiculous.

I love Fox Sports. A story on Adrian Peterson scored to the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man," a song about buying heroin in Harlem. Considering that Peterson's much-ballyhooed and recently-released dad was in federal prison for dealing crack, someone at Fox is either really fucking funny, or totally inept.

Time for my monthly lament at how Jarrett almost went to UVA. What a badass. Shouldn't have been a late hit, though. Jarrett slowed down so the hit would happen.

Yeah. Saban appears to love money just like everybody else, but loves control and freedom to go wherever he wants even more. I also can't see him really gelling with the insane Alabama board and the boosters who think they deserve to decide the direction of the team. I say split head duties between Coughlin and Dennis Green. The state of Alabama will vaporize itself within a season's time, once its residents figure out what vaporize means.

Verne Lundquist is weirding me out by referring to all the GT/WVU players by their first names. Musberger does it too, but Verne always sounds so grandfatherly. "Patrick runs it in! What a great move for Patrick!" I feel like Leena's announcing.

I'm really interested to see what happens with Matt Schaub in the off-season, especially now that Mora is out in Atlanta. I've been following Schaub since he left UVA, and he's basically just sat there biding his time for three years, getting a handful of meaningless/Vick's hurt starts. The Falcons have too much money sunk into Vick to move away from him, but they also have too much value in Schaub to hold onto him again. I think he's ready to start, and wouldn't be surprised to see someone like the Browns or Vikings--someone with a decent (in theory in the case of the Browns) o-line already--make a very strong push to sign him rather than going rookie QB.

I loathe the "so-and-so conference is whooping up in the bowls they're the best unnnnnh" discussions. Bowl games are cool and all, but they're so far removed from the regular season both in purpose and team preparation that I have a hard time using them as arguments for conference superiority.

One of the strangest gimmick plays I've ever seen over in the Gator Bowl. Georgia Tech jumped offsides and the entire WVU o-line just...stayed in their stances, to the point that the center even kind of fell forward as the play was developing. Rock-solid, didn't block or anything. Totally confused, the secondary didn't do a thing, and Pat White just floated a big pass for a TD. Kinda surreal.

Yeah, I don't mind "Bossy" as compared to a lot of truly terrible stuff. And I occasionally bob my head to the weirdly syncopated beat, so I can't hate completely.

The Art Shell experiment, Vol. 2, could easily be ended. Buzz is increasingly heavy that Nick Saban is heading back to the SEC, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Miami gank another NFL coach with past success and a down season (like Gruden, maybe) with all the buyout money.

Georgia Tech is hammering WVU right now. Reggie Ball's replacement, Taylor Bennett, is 9/10 for 215 and 3 TDs in the first half, making me wonder if this is a total fluke or if Chan Gailey is the stupidest coach in the world for keeping Reggie Ball his starter this long. The gameplan of "actually throw the ball to the best receiver in the country" is working pretty well. And CBS announcers just flubbed, calling the Capital One bowl the Citrus Bowl, and having graphics reflecting the same. Sponsors will bring the pain!

And the NFC East puts three in, at a total record of 26-22. Go NFC!

Haha. I was wondering why you seemed so excited. Go Beavs!

Best thing about that bandwagon thing is the "Playoffs?!?" quote echoing in the background as it starts.
