Been Awhile...

Bosco, clean those cobwebs. Stiny, remove this tumbleweed... and get me a danish!

And a belated Merry Highlightmas to all!:

No Playoff In Division I Sucks!

I'm freaking bored w/o college football!! Specifically SEC ball! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

UNBELIEVABLE

Holy crap... LSU has done it. We've snuck into the BCS Title Game.

Thank you, Pitt. Thank you, Oklahoma. Thank you, Parity.

FEAR THE HAT, suckas:




Thanks, Les:

Tasty Nuggets, Week 14

Listening to sports talk radio I was going to do some diatribe about how success has made the majority of LSU 's fan base spoiled at not even caring about going to Atlanta for a shot to be SEC Champs but I've decided against it b/c A. Nobody gives a $hit & 2. see pt. A. So, let's just all take a step back, catch our breath, vote Democrat next year & pat ourselves on the back & convince ourselves "we've made a difference," and then look on in confusion when the gas prices still don't drop below $2.50 & your take home pay decreases. "Uhhhhh we didn't tax you, Good Citizen, we um, uh, yes, we just um, increased your withholdings. Withholdings are not taxes, hmph hmph."

Then top that krap off with the rumors that Nick Saban may be re-hired at LSU & you've got one Angry Wolf. Ooooooh let's sell our integrity & dignity for 30 pieces of silver for another glimpse of that crystal foozball! Some story about a guy in a robe on a mountainside being tempted with all the kingdoms of the world by some evil dude comes to mind here. Zing! Pow! 2 Biblical references in 1 paragraph! Yippeee!

And now an Alexander reference- (Aristotle to a young Alexander): Be careful what you dream of. The gods have a way of punishing such pride.

Welcome to a short & legitimately angry Week 14 serving of the Tasty Nuggets.

Arizona St. -7 vs. Arizona- The last state to ratify MLK Day as a state holiday offers up it's rivalry game. But who really cares since Arizona is about a decade away from being re-annexed by Mexico? Gee funny how nobody saw this coming. Arizona St. & Arizona will subsequently be re-named North Sonora St. & North Sonora. Will student athletes at these universities be then referred to as "undocumented" immigrants? Arizona St. 31, Arizona 21, Rule of Law 0, Mexico 2 more states.

Washington +14 at Hawaii- "Weird things happen when you go to the island." Yeah but not 14 pts. kind of weird. They mean weird as in catch an STD from the pool waitress kind of weird. Cue the as of yet unmade National Lampoon's Vacation: Hawaiian Paradise. Clark Griswold & the fam get into trouble when Clark visits a volcano & angers the locals by breaking an anicent Island taboo. Hijinx & hilarity ensue. Straight to DVD on March 4. Be the 1st to own Naitonal Lampoon's Vacation: Hawaiian Paradise. Cameos by Don Ho, June Jones, Colt Brennan & several Hawaii Independence & Seperatists groups. Hawaii 42, Washington 34

Tennessee +7.5 vs. LSU (Atlanta)- Who freaking cares, right? Bust out that rubber hose & tap that vein, Sabanites, b/c Saban's comin' back to town & he got that fix for ya. Well, call me stupid but I got a bad habit of always getting up when I get knocked down. Damn the Fulmer torpedos, full speed ahead. I don't give a flying Hat if I get shot down in a Blaze of Glory. LSU 37, Tennessee 35

Virginia Tech -4.5 vs. Boston College- Now that the Red Sawx have won 2 World Series it seems everybody's a freaking Red Sawx fan. Shove it ya Chowdah Heads, it still don't mean squat in terms of trying to offset the evil unleashed on the world in the guise of Ben Affleck. He has adversely Affleckted movies for the worse. Get it? I made a pun. Which sounds like gun which Virginia Tech doesn't like. Cho'nuff. Another pun. A heartless one. Ahhhhhh go sell ya SECCG tix on eBay & save your righteous indignation for somebody who cares. Virginia Tech 26, Boston College 21

Pittsburgh +28 at West Virginia- Say hello to the soon-to-be National Champs, the Mountaineers. Who even knew Mountains had ears. Why did I just capitalize mountains? Why doesn't "capitalize" mean "to create capitols." Stuff it, Alexander Ovechkin! Nobody cares about the Capitols! Everybody loves Sidney Crosby, aka Cindy Crosby, Princess of Wails. See how I made a roundabout way to get to a Pittsburgh reference? West Virginia 41, Pittsburgh 24
