Pickem Dash Football

So I think most people that follow any media source has seen this linked, Texas A&M is now a 3x National Champion, and likewise raised their Big 12 title ring count by 200% to 3 .  How does this happen? The photo tells it all (before up, after below). I won't rehash the semantics of the two National Titles (read the above article, Harvard has some claims to one of them).  I'm sure Alabama wholeheartedly endorses these, as Pre-Hitler titles now total six for the two schools (hey, that's more than Texas, that's cool).  The SEC will probably adjust their total (for current schools) to further their world domination argument. The conference title grab is laughable (also in the above article, but worth repeating).  The 1997 Big XII title includes the "Conference Title Game" in which Nebraska defeated them "54-15" (was 40-3 after 3 quarters).  So I guess the title game was more of a mere inconvenience as all participants get to claim titles....

I don't think you have to be a Texas fan to appreciate the damage Tech did to the college football scene last year. I'm not sure I'm ready to let it go or laugh it off yet, but this article from the Barking Carnival sure helped a little. I was going to tweet this, but I figured there was less of a chance that you would read it, therefore missing out on its hilarity. I've copied a small portion here, but follow the link below to read the whole thing. It gets much funnier. Playing Texas Tech is basically like playing basketball with your girlfriend. At first it’s all casual: you’re each holding a drink, you cover her by squeezing a tit when she tries a jump shot, giggling when she bounces the ball off of her ankles out of bounds. It’s clear that you’re better than her and the power balance is respected. You don’t call her for traveling or double dribbles because of chivalry. Good fun until she fucks it up. She scores somehow on a bullshit fadeaway while you’re pretending...

I just picked up my copy of NCAA Football 10 for the ps3, which guarantees that I'll be getting less sleep and the family will have to find something other than the "big TV" to watch... at least for the next few months. The draw of the game, besides Erin Andrews' inclusion this year, is being able prove your team reigns supreme. And if despite your best efforts, your team still doesn't have what it takes... you can just edit the player stats to "correct" your deficiencies. Or, just create yourself and insert him into your lineup. Recently the topic of NCAA 10 came up on the Sean and John show at 1560AM The Game . John Harris is a college football uber-geek. A professor. An encyclopedia of football knowledge . Check out the hilarity when John reminisces on his purchase of NFL Gameday 97 for the ps1 back in the day. The discussion gets going the 8 minute mark. Over the next few minutes the conversation goes off the rails he even goes off on Friday Night ...

I ripped this from The Barking Carnival, who ripped it from Texags... but it is comic gold.

I can't figure out if this clip needs commentary or not ;)

NFL Contest Bonus Question: Turkey is kind of dry and boring. What meat would you wrap around or stuff inside the turkey to improve it, and what would you call your turkey culinary invention? I'm more of a sides guy than a turkey guy, but mostly because turkey is usually dry and boring. This question was clearly inspired by John Madden, and some of you guys just couldn't get the Turducken image out of your head. Bob 's suggestion is to "stuff a hen into a duck and then stuff that into the turkey and you have Turducken. Not my invention, but it fits the bonus question very well" (+1) . Gary appologetically suggests Turducken, saying "I know I stole the idea, but it is hard to improve on greatness" (+1) . Open ended bonus points are always about creativity, so that just ain't gonna cut it. Is anyone surprised these guys are LSU grads? Kirby earned some points for referencing John Madden and still coming up with a tasty suggestion, albeit one that Hann...

NCAA Contest Bonus Question: What college mascot would be the tastiest to serve at Thanksgiving dinner? Amy and Carrie would serve Trojans (+2) to their guests. I'm not sure which kind they would be bringing to their table, but I suppose either Trojan would provide some protection. Crystal likes to keep it dirty. She suggested a Gamecock (+2) ... and you can bet there was some extra formatting and a space inserted into that rooster. Ugh, did I just type about inserting something into a rooster? My bad, but speaking of....... Kyle , fresh off an Oregon bachelor party suggests Peking Duck (+2) . You know... Chinese... Thanksgiving... get it? No? Well often Chinese restaurants are the only places open. There is that... or there is Dave's suggestion. He was feelin' some Thanksgiving Duck (+1) , only he wanted his with mango salsa (clearly a big fan of Geiko too, I'm sure he extended an invite to the cave men). Justin suggested Duck (+1) as well, he just didn't give ...

How about a little halftime action? Since marching bands are a polarizing topic for some, I'll keep my comments reserved. Baby Bambi called, he wants his footing back.

Since this week's updates have all been pictures/videos and have not included any useful insight from me, why not keep it going? You "change" freaks out there may appreciate this picture taken at the LSU game. Bring it on!

If the aggies were actually as great as aggiereport.com, then the world would have more whooops, howdies, farmers, stores selling overalls, and don't-ask-don't-tell servicemen. Until then, here is a funny from the zany folks at the aggie blog.

If anyone has watched an Okie St game, you've probably seen their... ummm... rather elementary way of calling plays in to their players. Mike Gundy may be 40 41, but the kids certainly are not. Apparently bright colors and big pictures are more on their level. And in yet another reason to put on the books of why the internet is the greatest thing to ever happen in the history of the world, check out what play the Cowboys should have been calling last Saturday night.
