EXCUSE ME
I just found this wonderful groin tingling website of the Reef Girls Competition. I don't know what Reef Girls are but I do know they will now haunt me in my dreams and I am thinking about getting a one way ticket to Chile to watch the next contest. I think I'm going to have to cancel the Vegas bachelor party, it can't measure up to something like this. Beach, babes, hot weather, thongs, booze. You know what, fuck, I'm at a lost for words right now. Here are some other pictures...




I told her to stop staring at me but she won't listen.

HUSKER NATION: FEAR THE KATY, COME FOR THE MOTOR BOATS
Our buddy MacG found this glorious video about the strange, insane, often bizarre yet some what wonderful psychotic football world in the minds of Nebraska football fans. See, MacG is an insufferable Cornhusker's fan who longs for the days of Tom Osborne roaming the sidelines while they ran the I-formation down opponent's throats and stuffed the run with the Blackshirts defense. Now a days the only thing you can call the Nebraska defense is the Black Skirts.
Most of us don't know what being a Nebraska fan is like, well now you can get a little glimpse.
Fear the Katy.
But always come back for the motor boats from the lovely Nikki...
I love you Nikki!

LLOYD CARR STEPS DOWN, LET THE DOMINOES BEGIN
This morning to no one's surprise Lloyd Carr resigned/retired/was going to get fired as Michigan's Head Football Coach after 13 seasons which included 5 Big Ten Championships and 1 National Championship. Not being a Carr fan for obvious reasons, I respect Carr for the way he went out and decided to do it now in order to help Michigan find the right coach and recruit. As we all know LSU Head Coach Les Miles is the leading candidate to replace him and thus if he decides to take the job as I expect he would it would create a domino effect in the college coaching fraternity.
When Les Miles leaves LSU to go back to his alma mater it will then open up one of the best coaching jobs in the nation at LSU. The Tigers of Baton Rouge are stacked with NFL ready talent at all positions and again will be a contender for the National Title next season with Ryan Perrilioux stepping in at QB(granted he isn't suspended or arrested during the offseason). Who will replace Miles remains a mystery. The leading candidate would be current defensive coordinator Bo Pelini but he could take the job at Nebraska once Bill Callahan is fired. Right now I think the best coach for Nebraska is current Buffalo coach Turner Gill who is a former player at Nebraska. He has managed to turn around a terrible football program in Buffalo in just his second season.
Other coaching positions likely to open up include Texas A&M(Dennis Franchione is a fraud), Georgia Tech(Chan Gailey is good for a max of 7 wins but not much more), UCLA(Sorry, Karl Dorrell is not the long term answer for the Bruins), Washington(because they are racist and don't want a shitty coach) and possibly Auburn if Tommy Tuberville gets wooed by the Aggies once they buy out Franchione.
Personally I can't wait to see how Miles handles all the Michigan questions. In a season full of upsets and surprises it will be very interesting to see how the LSU team responds the next two weeks despite all the distractions with a probable coaching switch. The LSU fans are going to be irrate when Miles says he wants to stay in LSU and focus on the season lying ahead to only fuck them in the end by bolting for Michigan shortly after their bowl game. It's inevitable.
It will also create a major clusterfuck in terms of recruiting. With as many as 5 major college football programs undergoing changes in coaching personnel, a lot of recruits are going to back out of commitments and look else where. Guys like Pete Carroll, Urban Meyer, Charlie Weis, and Jim Tressel know how to get players to switch allegiances so we could see a lot of bickering and bitching among college football fans about teams poaching recruits.
This is just another reason why college football is such a great spectator sport. All the shit that happens off the field makes it interesting year round.
Let the blood bath begin.

NEW SHIRT
We call it the "Special K" shirt because of the amazing things #24 has done on the field this year in Athens. On the front of the shirt we have the "Special K" emblem which we hope you like. We were inspired by some rugby designs because it seems when KnowMo is out there he is always spinning, juking, making people miss and giving everything he has 100% of the time. On the back of the shirt is his number 24 with the Sportscrack logo above it.
We are taking pre-orders now. Be sure to spread the word to all the fans of Special K and Georgia...

WEEKEND PICKS
OHIO STATE(-3.5) AT MICHIGAN
Henne, Hart, and Long have never beaten the Buckeyes and it was the main reason why these guys came back for their senior years. Too bad they came back to lose another one to their arch rival.
Prediction: Ohio State 35 Michigan 21
KENTUCKY AT GEORGIA(-8)
The Bulldogs have been playing like they are on a mission since Knowshon has been getting the carries. The Wildcats on the other hand have been struggling since they beat LSU. The Red Out will work in Athens.
Prediction: Georgia 38 Kentucky 24
MISSOURI(-7.5) AT KANSAS STATE
This could be a big trap game for the Tigers who could be looking ahead to their showdown next week against Kansas. But I think Chase Daniel will keep the Tigers focused on their goals and take a some what close game in the third to a blowout in the end.
Prediction: Mizzou 45 Kansas State 31
VANDERBILT(+12.5) AT TENNESSEE
Upset central!!!
Prediction: Vandy 21 Tennessee 17
DUKE AT NOTRE DAME(-7)
The Shitter Bowl matches up two 1-9 teams with nothing to play for besides pride and dignity. I would say those are two big reasons for the Fighting Irish to come out and kick some ass. Clausen has a really good game throwing for 4 TDs.
Prediction: Notre Dame 35 Duke 14
LSU(-19) AT MISSISSIPPI
Total mismatch!
Prediction: LSU 38 Ole Miss 10
WEST VIRGINIA(-6) AT CINCINNATI
The Bearcats are tough at home but the Mountaineers have way more weapons. Pat White goes off!
Prediction: West Virginia 35 Cincy 20
OKLAHOMA(-7.5) AT TEXAS TECH
Just going on a hunch here, I think the Sooners come out for blood.
Prediction: Oklahoma 31 Texas Tech 21

JUST SUE THEM FOR THE GIPPER!
Apparently family members get pissed when you dig up a deceased relative for the purpose of using it on an Entertainment Sports Programming Network. The World Wide Leader in Sports is being sued by relatives of the George Gipp for lawyer speak that I have neither the brain nor patience to look up so I will simply quote them in this here fancy Blogger quotes:
It accuses the defendants of negligence, "willful and wanton misconduct, trespass and nuisance" and says the exhumation caused "extreme shock, fright, humiliation and mortification" for other relatives. It seeks at least $25,000, although a jury would set damages if the suit prevailed.
No word on whether Charlie Weis is named in the lawsuit for personally destroying Notre Dame's football history by forcing Gipp to turn over in his grave starting with the Georgia Tech debacle leading up to the most recent inexcusable losses to the service academies.

ALABAMA BOOBIES
I found this little quick gem over at PoonoftheSEC. Not only do people in the South get to watch killer college football but since the weather is always nice the ladies love to show off the puppies. Here is a quick clip of some degenerate dingle berry* zooming in to get a little up close face time with some wonderful Bama Melons.
Great job on the quick pan to the left by the cameraman. I'm thinking this guy could do a really good job in the Van Nuys film business.

GOOD BYE OREGON AND DENNIS DIXON
Well, it was fun while it lasted for the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks got exposed by an average Arizona Wildcats last night in front of a packed house and not only suffered the curse of another #2 team to lose to an unranked opponent this year but also lost their leading Heisman contending QB in Dennis Dixon to a knee injury. With the Ducks now shot down this opens the door for Kansas or any other Big 12 team(Missouri and Oklahoma) for that matter to make it to the BCS title game if one of them wins out.
So what does it mean for the Heisman? It should have been Tim Tebow's to lose in the first place even before Dixon went down with an injury but now it becomes even more apparent. Sure Chase Daniel could make his case if he send Missouri to a Big 12 Championship game but I think Tebow is the better player and deserves it as long as he keeps putting up the numbers he has in the SEC. The fucking guy has 19 rushing touchdowns for Christ's sake! Anyways, last night was again proof that all the pundits out there, including myself, don't know shit when it comes to College Football this season. I knew the Wildcats would give them a game but I thought Oregon would be able to handle them with a strong Jonathan Stewart performance. By the way Stewart, if he comes back, would be the best back in the nation next season.
As for the BCS scenarios I'm not so sure people should be penciling in LSU into the title game. I think if Georgia can somehow make the SEC Championship game in Atlanta then they can beat the Tigers behind a strong performance from the legs of Knowshon Moreno, or Special K as I call him, and the big arm of Matthew Stafford. Of course Georgia would need to win their final SEC game against Kentucky and hope for Tennessee to slip up which I think they will against Vandy to get to the SEC Championship. So if LSU gets beat which I think is 50/50 right now, then who gets the other spot against the Big 12 Champion for the BCS Title?
WEST FUCKIN VIRGINIA!!!
Personally I hope this happens because I would love to see Pat White, Steve Slaton, and Noel "Ain't It" Devine go against one of the high scoring Big 12 Championship teams. I really don't care if it's Oklahoma, Missouri, or Kansas because all 3 teams have been highly entertaining to watch and a match up with West Virginia would be a wild shoot out reminiscent of the BCS Title game two years ago.
A playoff is what we need no doubt. Just think if every playoff game was as electric as last night in Tuscon. This is what we would get for 3-4 straight weeks....
There is no way I could have held out that long in not rushing the field with a funnel hat and whip cream covering my nipples in delight while laying a booze dripping wet one on Mike Stoops. Don't judge me people!

LOU'S PEP TALK FOR THE SHITTER BOWL
The sad part is Holtz has more emotion, passion and heart in this clip than anything the Irish have displayed this year. 1-9 Notre Dame plays 1-9 Duke this Saturday. Hide the women, children, hell even dogs don't deserve to be subjected to such cruel punishment.

HOW YOU LIKE THESE APPLES BARRY BONDS?
You have just been indicted bitch! This is now the second happiest day of my life outside of losing my virginity to that sweet Taiwan hooker with one leg. Here is a recap:
Barry Bonds was indicted today on perjury and obstruction of justice charges, culminating a four-year federal investigation into whether he lied under oath to a grand jury looking into steroid use by elite athletes.
The indictment came three months after the 43-year-old Bonds passed Hank Aaron to become baseball's career home run leader. Bonds parted ways with the San Francisco Giants after the season.
While Bonds was chasing Aaron, a grand jury was working behind closed doors to put the finishing touches on the long-rumored indictment.
You know what, they should make November 15th a new national holiday. Maybe call it the "Don't fuck with the national pasttime or government Bonds!" Day. I can already see the Hallmark cards!
It's time to go celebrate people. Good finally won. Don't hold back...

STATE PENN LIVING UP TO IT'S NAMESAKE
Just when you think the Nittany Lions football team has finally shaped up and gotten their shit together, well, this kind of crap happens...
“In the center of the group were two males yelling toward the group of people that had just finished brutally attacking one of them," the criminal complaint states.
Another man was trying to calm the person police said had been attacked. The victim's shirt, according to the complaint, was covered in blood and the victim was trying to use it to stem the flow of blood. Police saw swelling on his entire face, lips and nose and an injury to the eye. His nose was fractured and his lip was split, the complaint stated.
The victim was yelling: "It took 15 football players to attack me," according to the criminal complaint.
The two meathead jackasses who have been charged with the most serious crimes are defensive lineman Chris Baker and linebacker Navarro Bowman. They basically beat the Paterno out of a student who apparently brushed one of their shoulders. Both are being charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, stalking and disorderly conduct, and summary harassment. Don't even ask me what summary harassment is unless I guess you could call it being a borderline student/retard who doesn't know how to summarize events that just took place.
It's good to see the Penn State team has been taught great discipline by JoePA and learned to attack a defenseless student as a team of 15 in order to assure the outcome.
In related news the #1 shirt sold on Penn State's campus since the unfortunate incident with those asshole Buckeye fans who so rudely walked on the hallowed grounds of Nappy Valley has been the State Penn shirt.

It's good to know that somebody has replaced Miami as a program with more convicts than actual students/athletes.
Remember people, "this is Penn State bitch!!!!"
Big Kudos to Gerald for the link.

THE BEER OF CHOICE
I'm not going to lie to you, the only reason why I got a Costco membership was for the dog food prices for my labs and of course the great deals for beer. In fact I got a case of Sam Adams, the mixed variety kind, and am enjoying it to it's fullest right now. You know what though, I think I will grab a case of the Samuel Jackson kind next...

A-Rod needs a hug!
MAKE UP YOUR MIND A-HOLE!
Here is the latest crap from A-Rod regarding his future with the Yankees. Yes, the douche has his own blog like just like me...
After spending time with Cynthia and my family over these last few weeks, it became clear to me that I needed to make an attempt to engage the Yankees regarding my future with the organization.
Prior to entering into serious negotiations with other clubs, I wanted the opportunity to share my thoughts directly with Yankees' ownership. We know there are other opportunities for us, but Cynthia and I have a foundation with the club that has brought us comfort, stability and happiness.
As a result, I reached out to the Yankees through mutual friends and conveyed that message. I also understand that I had to respond to certain Yankees concerns, and I was receptive and understanding of that situation.
Cynthia and I have since spoken directly with the Steinbrenner family. During these healthy discussions, both sides were able to share honest feelings and hopes with one another, and we expect to continue this dialogue with the Yankees over the next few days.
Seriously, how old is Alex Rodriguez? He needs to fucking grow up and stop acting like a little whiny bitch and decide what he wants to do. I'm so sick and tired of these guys opting out of contracts when they make a shit load of money and then feel no love from anybody else so they come back crying for forgiveness and more $$$. If the Steinbrenners are smart which they clearly are not after giving Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera over"fucking"bloated contracts to re-sign they will listen to A-hole and make him bend over and kiss their puckered asses.
I hate the Yankees with a passion but I'm in their corner on this one. They need to go tell A-Job to go F himself. He needs to realize that being a Major League Baseball player is a privilege and the whole MLB world does not revolve around his pompous, pussy ass. And yes, being a New York Yankee is a privilege. Wearing the pinstripes shouldn't be about the money! But it clearly is for so many of their players and that is why the Yankees won't win championships. Until they get the players who really want to play for them and not just because they offered the most zero's on their paycheck but instead want to play in New York and wear the pinstripes because they always dreamed of it.
Anyways, I'm going to go throw up after talking all this Yankee crap.

TOP 10 COLLEGE FOOTBALL
1. OKLAHOMA SOONERS-Demarco Murray is proving to be one of the most valuable versatile backs in the nation. His kickoff return was a thing of beauty and he has that something special which will make him a Heisman favorite next year.
2. LSU TIGERS-It's amazing how quickly they have risen back to the #1 status despite losing a less than a month ago and have a lot of close games. But in my poll they are #2 because I think the Sooners are the better team right now.
3. OREGON DUCKS-Dennis Dixon will get his chance to prove to voters his Heisman candidacy this Thursday on ESPN against Arizona.
4. KANSAS JAYHAWKS-They keep rolling, one of only two undefeated teams and if they win out there is no doubt they should be in the BCS game. I think they have a good chance to by the way.
5. WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS-Pat White is a pimp. If they didn't lose to South Florida he might have been the #1 Heisman guy right now. Win out and they make a BCS game.
6. MISSOURI TIGERS-Chase Daniel is playing his best ball right now and the showdown against Kansas next Saturday will be a great match up.
7. OHIO STATE BUCKEYES-The Buckeyes shouldn't hang their heads, they still have a chance to win the Big Ten this week against the hated Wolverines.
8. GEORGIA BULLDOGS-Knowshon Moreno has been the best back in the SEC, possibly the country the second half of the season. If the Bulldogs win out against Kentucky and Georgia Tech they will make a BCS game no matter if they are in the SEC Championship or not.
9. ARIZONA STATE SUNDEVILS-Two words for you: Dennis Erickson. Isn't the Nebraska job about to open? Could get interesting.
10. FLORIDA GATORS-Tim Tebow is a man among boys. His 7 touchdown performance against South Carolina put him back to #1 in my book among Heisman candidates.

JUST WHEN YOU THINK...
The greatest running back since (fill in last great back name, who ever you prefer)comes in the NFL and takes over the game, he has to get hurt. Rookie sensation Adrian Peterson has a tear in his ligament only a week after setting the new NFL rushing record in a game. Right now the Vikings are being tight lipped about the severity but it appears this could keep AP out for the rest of the season. It has now become painfully clear to see...God hates Purple Jesus because he is a Jew! And by God I mean Larry King.

LARRY KING PISSES OFF SEINFELD
Sorry, I don't watch CNN unless some major catastrophe is going on, so excuse me for not knowing Larry King still had a show. Seriously, how old is this guy? I'm guessing he has to be at least 82 years old, the ear hair is a dead give away. Anyways, the old fucker got on the bad side of comedian Jerry Seinfeld by asking a stupid question...
http://view.break.com/393958 - Watch more free videos
It is now more clear than ever, Larry King is an anti semitic whore. Sure he claims he is Jewish himself but you know he would be the first guy to rat out Anne Frank and her family if he knew it guarenteed an extra loaf of bread for himself.

THIS IS WHAT BC GRADS DO WITH THEIR DEGREES
You know, it's bad enough you lose to Florida State and Maryland in back-to-back weeks, but now it's gotten so bad in Chestnut Hill that even their degree isn't worth shit. Don't believe me, well then watch this little clip about Boston College Safety Jamie Silva courtesy of AwfulAnnouncing. I wonder if Doug Flutie's Heisman is in there?

COLT BRENNAN FOR HEISMAN?
Not if Fresno State's Marcus Riley has something to say about it. See kids, this is why you listen in class, take notes, and get good grades because you don't want to be the guy on the receiving end of a hit like this. It's like trying to watch Helen Keller get Stephen Hawking off on a Broadway show. Just painful. Anyways, here is the clip, courtesy of MacG'sWorld...
Brennan managed to tie Ty Detmer's career touchdown passes record but had to leave the game so he catch his hot date with a cathadar.

WEEKEND PICKS
Just a hint, I like the road teams this week...
AUBURN(+1.5) AT GEORGIA
The Tigers have won 16 straight games wearing their all white uniforms. The Dawgs will be sporting an all black uniform similar to the Atlanta Falcons uniform. Yes, Matthew Stafford will remind Georgia fans of Michael Vick with a couple of costly turnovers.
Prediction: Auburn 21 Georgia 20
KANSAS(-6) AT OKLAHOMA STATE
The Jayhawks are for real! Still undefeated, I think they will blow out a bad Okie State team on the road.
Prediction: Kansas 28 Oklahoma State 14
FLORIDA STATE(+7) AT VIRGINIA TECH
I'm going on gut instinct in this game. The Seminoles are a more talented team and I think they will want this game more than the turkey necks up in Blacksburg.
Prediction: Florida State 17 Virginia Tech 13
USC(-4) AT CALThe Bears have been stumbling of late and the Trojans seemed to get their act together last week against the Beavers. John David Booty should have a good game against a rather weak Bear's secondary.
Prediction: USC 31 Cal 20
TEXAS TECH(+6.5) AT TEXAS
The Red Raiders can score like a midget in Bangkok, but can they hang with Big Brother Texas? I think so, just because the Longhorns haven't been all that impressive this season.
Prediction: Texas 38 Texas Tech 35
CONNECTICUT AT CINCINNATI(-6.5)
I like the Bearcats in this matchup. Like I said last week, the Huskies have to lose at least one Big East game.
Prediction: Cincy 28 Huskies 14
ARIZONA STATE(-7) AT UCLA
UCLA usually wins these type of games, you know the one where they have the 3rd string QB. But I think the SunDevils will bounce back just fine after losing to Oregon last week.
Prediction: ASU 35 UCLA 20
AIR FORCE(-3.5) AT NOTRE DAME
The bleeding, long death of Notre Dame football 2007 edition continues. The good thing about this season is the beer still tastes good.
Prediction: Air Force 27 Notre Dame 14
Enjoy your weekend bitches!

LOU HOLTZ WEEKLY PEP TALK

SPORTSCRACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 10
1. Ohio State Buckeyes-James Laurinaitis is proving he is the best defensive player in the country. Glenn Dorsey has gotten a ton of press, but the Little Animal is a wrecking machine and seems to be the proven leader for the Buckeyes as far back as last year when he was a sophomore. As the season progresses I really don't see anybody beating the Buckeyes. Illinois could give them a test this week but I think the Buckeyes will wear them down by the third quarter and force Juice Williams out of the game. I hate to say it but I think we can go ahead and pencil in the Buckeyes in the BCS Title game because I don't think they will lose to Michigan either next week.
2. Oklahoma Sooners-The Sooners are back to rocking and rolling after destroying Texas A&M. With two warm up games in Baylor and Texas Tech the following week ahead before the showdown against Oklahoma State at the end of the season, the Sooners should be able to rack up big time points in the minds of the voters if they continue to roll and win the Big 12 this season. Keep in mind the Big 12 has 3 teams in the top 10 right now with Texas lurking just outside. For all the shit the Big 12 has gotten from me and the national media, the league is one of the best this season.
3. LSU Tigers-I'm not sure how many times Les Miles has sold his soul to the Devil but each week he is just squeezing by. Last week's win over Alabama was their fourth straight game decided by a touchdown or less. In all four games they easily could have lost but didn't so they sit high. They are going to need to win impressively the rest of the season because the schedule is much easier with LA Tech, Ole Miss, and Arkansas remaining till the SEC Championship. And even in the SEC Championship game if they win it they could be doing so against a 3 loss team which would not be as impressive as a Big 12 Championship team. Food for thought SEC Fans.
4. Oregon Ducks-Everybody is in love with the Ducks and rightfully so. They clobbered Arizona State and now it appears they have the easy part of their schedule ahead of them. If the Ducks win out do they deserve to be in the National Championship game? Sure, why wouldn't they if both Ohio State and Kansas lose a game. Do I think the Ducks will roll the rest of the way? I don't think so because I think UCLA and Oregon State will give them games and I'm not sure how healthy or effective Dennis Dixon is going to be the rest of the season.
5. Kansas Jayhawks-This team is for real. It's been a joy to watch this team fight for everything they can get and really speaks for how well coached and prepared the Jayhawks are by Mark Mangino. They will get their chance to again prove how good they are in front of a national television prime time audience this Saturday against Okie State. Win it and we are looking at a huge match up with Missouri in two weeks to determine who goes to the Big 12 Championship game with a shot at a BCS Title at stake.
6. West Virginia Mountaineers-Pat White will have this team steam rolling over Louisville tomorrow night but I don't think it's going to be enough to get them back in the BCS Title talks unless a lot of teams in front of them start slipping up.
7. Missouri Tigers-Mizzou keeps winning and proving they are not a fluke by any means. With a resounding win over the Buffs in Boulder last week, Chase Daniel and Co. are in control of their own destiny. Win out and they will be playing a rematch game with Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship for a possible BCS Title game berth at stake.
8. Georgia Bulldogs-Knowshon Moreno is the shit. How this kid got red shirted last year still baffles me. The Dawgs are going to have a battle this week in Athens vs. Auburn. Win and they are staring at Kentucky as the only obstacle between a SEC Championship berth. Lose and they are going back to the Chick Fil-A Bowl.
9. Arizona State SunDevils-Back to reality for the SunDevils after the loss to Oregon, they can still win out the rest of the season and play in a BCS Bowl game.
10. UCONN Huskies-I can't believe how well Jim Calhoun has prepared this team. All they have to do is get in the tourney and I can see them causing some damage if they survive the Cinderella games. Damn I wish College Football had a tourney.
Just missed the cut: Boston College, Virginia Tech, Michigan, Texas, Florida, Alabama

DAVE CHAPPELLE IN LONDON
I just came upon this wonderful video on YouTube of a performance by Dave Chappelle in London at Kojo's from about a week ago. Watch and learn...
This is how you wing it on the comedy stage. I saw Chappelle in Atlanta about two months back and I must say his stand up is way better than his TV show. Anytime a little sprinkle comes out because the laughter was too hard to bear you know the guy is one funny mofo. He made the right decision in turning down the money I think. He appears very happy to be doing stand up and out of the spotlight so to speak. Whether or not it is in a basement across seas doesn't even seem to faze him.

HOLY SHIT! THEY ARE TEARING DOWN WRIGLEY!
The Lovable Losers will no longer have a home in Wrigley Field starting in 2008. With the 100th year anniversary of the last World Series Champion coming to fruition this spring, the Chicago Cubs franchise has decided their pathetic history can no longer exist in the beautiful confines of Wrigley Field. Home of the Cubbies since 1916, rumors are the Cubs will relocate to Baltimore where Peter Angelos can further run them into the ground and alienate fans with $8 beers and shitty baseball.
I know you are probably thinking this is some BS made up story but it's not. You want proof Bleacher Bums, well here is your proof...
Even the down on his luck groundskeeper has been told to keep his mouth shut or he will be named the new GM by Angelos, a punishment not worthy of anybody. I've tried to find film of Angelos spitting on Harry Carey's grave but I have had no luck so far. When contacted by phone, Mr. Cub Ernie Banks seemed excited with the move but when I reassured him they weren't moving to proven winner St. Louis and instead to Baltimore he hung up.

UGA SENIORS CALL FOR "BLACKOUT"
When I first heard of the Georgia Bulldog seniors calling for a "blackout" for this week's game against Auburn in Athens, I wondered how in the world are they going to be able to do that when, you know, 98.7% of the crowd is WHITE?
I mean I understand the whole Penn State "white out" deal because white people wear white shirts and those Quakers have milky skin already so it doesn't take much effort. But there is no way everybody in Athens attending the game is just going to wear black shirts and put on black face. It's impossible.
Next thing you know they are going to ask for a red out and will be busing in all the Mexicans from Buford Highway. Obviously this is a racial issue and I didn't want to get involved but I felt it needed to be brought up. What do you guys think? Would you guys be offended if UGA wore black face to the game against Auburn?

THIS VIDEO
pretty much sums up college football this season.
Pure fucking pandemonium full of boozed up taco wearing hat lovers filled with bloody screams of pain and pleasure all rolled up into one.

RAVENS ARE NEVERMORE
Wow, that Ravens prediction to beat the spread was a little off by me. Oh well, the Ravens are going down the shitter to the delight of everybody outside of metro Baltimore. With the injuries piling up and the "offensive genius" showing he can't formulate a scoring offense still despite roaming the sidelines for 9 years now in Charm City, there is always College Basketball for all the Marylanders out there.
Oh shit, the Terps are suppose to suck too this year. Well, how about those Colts and Orioles?
Just to rub it in a little bit, here is a nice little love tap from Mr. Hines "always grinning like he just bonked your wife" Ward on Ed Reed. Trust me and watch the clip to the very end, it's worth it not because Mike Tirico announces it like he is doing golf but the unbelievable head snap.

CONGRATULATIONS NAVY
I should have posted this yesterday but I was too drunk to type let alone put a rational thought together(I know what you are thinking..rational thought, has there ever been one on this blog?) after watching Navy finally beat Notre Dame. I've always appreciated the Naval Academy for what they provide our country and I felt really happy yesterday for all the Middies out there that they could finally celebrate a victory. I may be a Notre Dame fan but I was born in Annapolis and have spent as much time on the grounds of the Naval Academy as I have on the hallowed grounds of the Notre Dame campus.
So congrats go out to the Midshipmen.
With that being said I want to let out some frustrations from yesterday. In essense I should only type FUCK YOU CHARLIE but it doesn't do justice to what I really feel. You kick the fucking field goal to win the fucking game you stupid arrogant idiot. You recruited the kicker and instead of showing your confidence in him you decided to go for it on 4th and 8 instead of trying to kick a winning 41 yard field goal. Your fucking arrogance is laughable. Even Charlie Jr. rolled his eyes when you made the call.
Not only that but you did a fake field goal in the first half on 4th and 13, running your slow starting QB thinking he may pull a Travis Thomas and run it for a first down. You fucking idiot, did you really think Evan Sharpley was going to run for 15 yards there? Worse of all you could have gotten your starting QB injured on a horrible play call and then you would have been forced to bring in an injured Jimmy Clausen in to do handoffs.
Get your fat overbloated head out of your ass and think before you decide to again pass up a game winning field goal try for a futile pass attempt. The game was tied you dumb fuck and I don't give a shit about the wind or your excuses for not kicking it.
Everybody in the stadium had the look of what the fuck just happened when you went for it on 4th down. My patience has run thin with Charlie. This season lies squarely on his shoulders. You alone lost the game yesterday against an inferior opponent. I no longer feel confidence in Weis and his coaching abilities, or disability for that matter.
Matt Fairchild's liver says "FUCK YOU CHARLIE."

NFL PICKS
My college picks yesterday performed as well as Notre Dame this season, going 3-6 with two pushes. So take these NFL picks for what they are worth...
GREEN BAY PACKERS(+1.5) AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Brett Favre is playing some of his best football right now and I think the Pack will continue to roll with a tough victory at Arrowhead.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS(-3.5) VS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
The Saints are the better team, it's in the Superdome, and Reggie Bush doesn't have to worry about Marcus Stroud. I'm taking the Saints.
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS(-7.5) AT MINNESOTA VIKINGS
The Chargers are red hot and the Vikings aren't. I think the Chargers should blow them out.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS(+6) VS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
I like the Colts in the RCA Dome as the 6 point dog.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES(+3.5) VS DALLAS COWBOYS
Home field advantage for the Eagles will be huge and the Eagles want to win for their coach.
BALTIMORE RAVENS(+9) AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS
I'm not sure why the Ravens are such big underdogs, maybe because of the injuries but they always play the Steelers tough. I will take the Ravens as the road dog.

WEEKEND PICKS
Sorry, these picks are a little late because I've been too preoccupied staring at the girls pictured above. The wonderful picture is courtesy of BarstoolSports. Time to lose some money and get drunk at the same time while your girlfriend bitches at you while going back for your 20th beer. God I love College Football Saturdays.
WAKE FOREST(-1) AT VIRGINIA
The Wake have been playing good to great football since they lost their first two games and Virginia has been slipping by opponents till last week. I'm playing the law of averages and think Wake Forest will be able to handle Virginia easily. Take Wake with the points.
NAVY AT NOTRE DAME(-3)
Notre Dame is horrible this year but they finally had a week off to prepare themselves for something other than an ass kicking. Navy lost to Delaware last week and their defense is undersized and they lack depth at every position. The Irish will run the ball with reckless abandon. Take the Irish with the points at home.
UCLA(-1.5) AT ARIZONA
Karl Dorrell's job is on the line and the Bruins are a Jeckyl and Hyde team. This week I think they will be the good team. Take UCLA with the points on the road.
TEXAS(-3) AT OKLAHOMA STATE
Texas is a better team. Again, the Longhorns are a better team. They are men too. Take the Longhorns with the points on the road.
MARYLAND(+2.5) AT NC STATE
The Wolfpack are bad and the Terps are okay. The Terps will be bowl eligible this season thanks to a road win in Raleigh. Take the Terps as the underdog.
LSU(-7) AT ALABAMA
The Saban Bowl is a matchup of mismatches. LSU is clearly the better team and will take a close game in the third quarter and wear out the Tide by the start of the fourth quarter. Take the Tigers with the points on the road. Oh yeah, fuck Saban.
MISSOURI(-4) AT COLORADO
I've been back and forth all week with this game. I know the history, Mizzou doesn't win in Boulder. But this year is different. Mizzou is clearly the better team on the field. I will go with Chase Daniels and the points on the road.
ARIZONA STATE AT OREGON(-7.5)
I think the Ducks are going to blow them out in Eugene. Take the Ducks and the points.
RUTGERS(+1) AT UCONN
UCONN is due for their first Big East loss. Take Rutgers and Ray Rice as the road underdog.
FSU(+7) AT BOSTON COLLEGE
I hate FSU but I think they will actually decide to show up for this game. Don't ask why, it makes almost as much as sense as arguing why Matt Ryan is the Heisman leader. I think FSU will upset BC in Chest"nut" Hill.
OREGON STATE(+15) AT USC
USC hasn't blown out anybody in the PAC-10 in a while. The Beavers know they can beat them. I think USC will win the game, but I'm taking the Beavers as the more than two touchdown underdog.
NFL Picks, yes, I said the NFL, will be posted tomorrow morning or late tonight.

PITT STUDENT BEING CHARGED
The dipshit to the right who threw beer cans on video at Ohio State fans last week will apparently be charged according to the Centre Daily Times. Some of the charges include unlawful use of Bama "Brodie" Bangs, douchebaggery, being a pussy and using a crowd to back you up, improper use of the F word, and unlawful wasting of hangover inducing Natty Boh beer. Oh yeah, and probably assault charges on top of that but those are minor in comparison. I mean seriously, what did these douchebags think they would accomplish by posting this video on YouTube? I kind of feel bad for the little dude. You know he was visiting some of his dipshit friends at Penn State and got wrapped up in the whole "hey, we are in a frat so let's act like dumbasses so people think we are cool" mojo and thought he would be accepted for his douchebag behaviors from his friends if he acted tough. I've seen it before and nobody wins in this type of scenario. Now if you get laid without paying for it immediately afterwards then yes, it was so worth it. In fact if I was the kid I would make up a lie and tell everybody I got layed shortly after just so my Dad would be like "Shut up Nancy, he got layed, good enough reason to throw shit" at a Buckeye. If you haven't seen it or are just coming off an extremely long bender(happens to all of us) well then here is the video again...

AMY FISHER SEX TAPE
Wait a second, you trying to tell me Amy Fisher, the girl who "dated" Joey Buttafuoco on the side only to shoot his wife in the head, is a whore? No way! Apparently the Long Island Lolita has a new sex tape out there in order to let the world know her lips flap in the wind and can be louder than a wind chime on a slow breezy day but can be seen for a low price of $19.99.
I know this has nothing to do with sports but I felt it is my obligation to report to the Sportscrack nation when a sex tape emerges. Of course Fisher is not really a celebrity but just a felon who happens to be a whore. But then again so is Britney Spears. Here is the video clip I was sent today (wink, wink)from an anonymous person and be careful because it is 100% NOT SAFE FOR WORK. Even for you Buckeye fans out there sitting in the public library, don't even think about it.

SEPARATED AT BIRTH
Damn, I suddenly have the urge for a Baby Ruth. TheWizardofOdds has their weekly Separated at Birth blog posting and I thought it would be appropriate to show the Frank Beamer one only because I'm a dick. Anyways, I'm actually attending the Georgia Tech/Nerds vs Virginia Tech/not a real "Tech" school matchup tonight at Bobby Dodd. I will be sporting the Nerds shirt so I'm sure I will be getting a lot of high fives from all the international students who go there and don't drink. Fucking pansies. Maybe I should bring all my left over Baby Ruth Halloween candy and throw it at Beamer as he sloths onto the Grant Field. I'm sure it will be an exciting game you know since Tashard Choice isn't playing and Chan Gailey is coaching...yeah, hmmm, did I mention I will be consuming a lot of Natty Lights. By the start of the game after tailgating with my buddy Chuck I'm sure I will be screaming something like this....
Go Nerds!!!

HALLOWEEN PICTURE
I thought I would post a picture from a Halloween party I attended. I'm the
Florida fan, luckily I didn't have to do much to prep myself for my costume. Years of building up gingivitis with my already bad teeth along with a total disregard of cutting my hair in the back(this is how I party people)all I really had to do was put the UlTIMate QB shirt on. Unfortunetly you can't see my sexy hairy legs with my jorts on but I'm sure you would prefer to keep your breakfast down.

TRICK OR BIG TEN POON TREAT?
Our buddy Mac G sent us these wonderful poon pictures from none other than Badger country in Madison, WI. As I mentioned before, Halloween is the perfect holiday for all the closet sluts out there to strip down and show off their thang without feeling the wrath of judging eyes.
God bless the Big Ten Poon. Oh look, it's one of Leinart's leftovers who just happened to make it out for the festivities. If I were her I would have a fake baby popping out of my belly for shits and giggles.
I'm out till tomorrow, HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!!

FRED FLINSTONE AND BARNEY RUBBLE
This picture was taken today with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones posing as Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble. Personally I think it would have been much more humorous if McFadden was dressed as a Falcon and Felix as a Dolphin. They might as well prepare themselves to play for a shitty franchise so why not do it on Halloween. Oh wait, they play for Arkansas, they already know what it's like to play for a bad team.

LOOKS LIKE WILLINGHAM IS NEXT TO BE FIRED
Of course this can only be a case of pure racism on the part of the University of Washington president sending this letter to his fellow alums and fans of the Huskies football program...
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Mark A. Emmert, President
October 29, 2007
Dear Husky Fans,
I have received email comments from you and your fellow fans about the state of Husky Football. As a native of Washington and a UW alumnus, I know very well the competitive traditions of our university. Like many of you, I grew up with Husky Football. I share your frustration and disappointment with the team’s current position. The same is true of everyone involved with the program.
I also know that the young men on our team are giving the UW everything they have. They are working hard and hanging together during this challenging time. As they do so, I intend to give them my full support and encouragement each and every game. They deserve no less. They are our Huskies, and they should be treated as such. There are five games to be played this season, and our team needs our support.
Sincerely yours,
Mark A. Emmert
President
301 Gerberding Hall • Box 351230 • Seattle, Washington 98195-1230 • 206-543-5010 • FAX: 206-616-1784
I'm not sure why the Huskies would want to fire Willingham. All though it may be true he sucks as a coach considering his record at Washington now sits at 9 wins and 22 losses, and with a loss this Saturday he will be the first coach in Huskies history to have 3 straight losing seasons. But the guy is a tireless recruiter people.
Just look at the class he is bringing in next season which is currently ranked an impressive 45th by Rivals.com. Very impressive Ty. Or maybe it is the 36th ranked class the year before or even the 35th ranked class in 2006. Clearly he is bringing in better athletes every year to remedy the problems at Washington.
When contacted about the rumors of his eventual dismissal and the letter the president wrote to Husky fans, Willingham was again stoic yet eleqount and somewhat forceful with his response on why he is the right man to lead Washington back to gridiron success.
"FFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE"
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Willingham at a recent recruiting visit.

PENN STATE FANS ARE COMPLETE ASSHOLES
You know it's hard to make me feel sympathetic for Ohio State fans and their buckstaches, but after watching this video of Penn State fans wasting good cold beer by throwing it as poorly as Anthony Morelli I now feel a little bad for the Buckeye faithful.
I think we now have a new shirt idea: "Penitentiary State".
What a bunch of dicks! God bless them for supporting such a shitty team.

SPORTSCRACK TOP 10
We finally had a week full of non upsets so there wasn't much shakeup in regards to the new Sportscrack poll.
1. Ohio State Buckeyes-Absolutely destroyed Penn State in Happy Valley and proved they deserve the recognition as one of the top teams. Yes, the Big Ten blows but the Buckeyes have a really good defense if not the best in the nation. QB Todd Boeckman is third in the nation in QB rating while leading the Buckeyes to an undefeated record so far. Makes you wonder how valuable Troy Smith really was last year, or was he at all? The Buckeyes should be able to handle Wisconsin this week.
2. Oklahoma Sooners-The Sooners had a week off to regroup after a terrible overall performance against Iowa State the week before. This week they have Texas A&M in Norman at night. If Sam Bradford gets back to playing the way he did the first 6 weeks then the Sooners should have little trouble with the Aggies.
3. LSU Tigers-The Tigers had a week off to let Les Miles enormous balls enough time to let the swelling go down. They travel to Tuscaloosa to face Nick the Dick Saban and his new team the Crimson Tide. If they win on Saturday which I expect they will they should cruise the rest of the season into the SEC Championship game.
4. Oregon Ducks-I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Ducks beat USC while flipping in between the Georgia/Florida game. Jonathan Stewart proved again why he is the 2nd best back in the nation behind Darren McFadden and what else can you say about Dennis Dixon? Talk about coming out of hardly any expectations and proving himself as one of the best QBs in the nation this year. This weeks battle with Arizona State will determine not only who wins the PAC-10 but also could determine who is playing in the BCS Title game.
5. Boston College Eagles-Great win on Thursday night in Blacksburg. Lucky to recover an onside kick, I have to hand it to the Eagles for not giving up and scoring two late touchdowns to steal the game. They have the Criminoles
this week in Chestnut Hill and we all know how big of a mess they are still.
6. Arizona State SunDevils-Well there is no doubting Dennis Erickson and his ability to revive a program. Rudy Carpenter is a little banged up with a sprained throwing thumb and could have a tough time in Eugene this week. Actually I think he will have a real tough time with the Ducks with or without a good thumb.
7. West Fuckin Virginia Mountaineers-Rocking and rolling since the loss to South Florida, West Virginia has a week off to prepare for Louisville next Thursday night. If they destroy the Cardinals as I expect then they are in the thick of the BCS Title talk once again.
8. Kansas Jayhawks-Aqib Talib is one of the best defensive players I have seen this year. I'm serious. The guy is a shutdown corner and reminds me a lot of Champ Bailey when he was at Georgia. The Fighting Manginos continue to roll and play Nebraska this week. It could get ugly, very ugly.
9. Missouri Tigers-Colorado has ruined a lot of seasons for the Tigers and this Saturday in Boulder could be another one.
10. Georgia Bulldogs-I had no problem with the way the Georgia players reacted after scoring their first touchdown against Florida. The college game is all about passion and emotion and the Bulldogs finally let loose on the Gators and showed they are a legit contender for the SEC East.

WHAT DO THESE GUYS HAVE IN COMMON?
Question: What do Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, Todd Boeckman, Graham Harrell, Brian Brohm, Colt Brennan, Dennis Dixon, Pat White, Blake Joseph, Rudy Carpenter, Paul Smith, Ben Mauk, Cullen Harper, Taylor Tharp, Mike Teel, Chase Daniel, Andre' Woodson, Todd Reesing, Chase Holbrook, Trevor Vittatoe, Kyle Wright, Zac Robinson, Dwight Dasher, Brian Johnson, Bernard Morris, Colt McCoy, Nate Davis, Case Keenum, Alex Brink, Willie Tuitama, Dan LeFevour, Donovan Porterie,Drew Willy Buffalo, Brian Hoyer, T.J. Yates, Curtis Painter, Caleb Hanie, Kellen Lewis, Adam Tafralis, Thaddeus Lewis, Sam Keller, Erik Ainge, Tyler Donovan, Tyler Lorenzen, Patrick Pinkney, and Max Hall all have in common?
Answer: They are the 53 NCAA starting quarterbacks who have a better QB Rating than Matt Ryan this season. 
And yet this guy is now being touted as one of the leading contenders for the Heisman Trophy according to SI.com, CBSSportsline, ESPN, USA Today, and Scout.com just to name a few. It would be one thing if Ryan was a dual threat QB who was also beating teams with his runs or another thing if he was beating the top teams in the nation but he has done neither. So then why is Ryan the favorite?
The unfortunate answer is because Boston College is undefeated and they are a, and I say this with extreme ridicule because there hasn't been one in decades, a Northeast power team where most of the big media outlets are located. Don't get me wrong, Ryan is a good quarterback and could be a really good pro. But the Heisman Trophy should go to the best player in the country and clearly Ryan isn't. I've watched him play 5 times this season and he has played good in one game(the Georgia Tech game), average in the Notre Dame game, and terrible in 3 others (NC State, Virginia Tech, and Army).
So when the ESPN "experts" tell you Matt Ryan is now the leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy you can laugh it off and wonder if he is indeed the Heisman leader than what does it make the 53 other quarterbacks who are statiscally better than him this season?
I will let you decide.
When contacted about his Heisman chances, Ryan reacted unfavorably on camera...

BRAVES TRADE EDGAR RENTERIA, HOT STOVE JUST HEATING UP
Finally some other news to talk about other than the Yankees or the Red Sox, who I believe won the World Series last night but I dont' have confirmation yet from ESPN. The Atlanta Braves just traded All-star shortstop Renteria to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for righthanded pitcher Jair Jurrjens and outfielder Gorkys Hernandez.
It looks at first glance to be a steal for the Tigers because they pick up a great player in Renteria who can play shortstop and be penciled into the 2 slot. But after close examination it appears the Braves have acquired a centerfielder for the future in Hernandez(20 year old Class A MVP who led the league in stolen bases in his first professional season) and a starter for the back end of the rotation in Jurrjens.
Yunel Escobar will now be the starting shortstop for the Braves after a productive first season with Atlanta filling in for an injured Renteria. Speculation now is the Braves might try to resign Tom Glavine with some more salary room but I think that would be a mistake. Glavine is washed up and didn't want to stay in Atlanta when he signed with the New York Mets in 2003 after spending his first 16 years as a Brave so why would they want him now?
If I was the Braves GM I would look to package a couple of prospects(possibly the two guys they just picked up from the Tigers)along with a reliever and send it to the Baltimore Orioles for lefty Erik Bedard. The Braves were one starter away from being serious contenders last year and with John Smoltz and Tim Hudson on the front end of the rotation adding a guy the calibre of Bedard would make them the favorite in the National League. But then again this is the Orioles and any trade has to go through Peter Angelos. Yeah, I know, fuck that guy.
Any thoughts Sportscrack nation?

PETER GAMMONS HATES A-ROD
I have always thought of Peter Gammons as kind of a kiss up, baseball player ass smooching type of guy. He never asks a ballplayer a tough question(you know, the whole steroid we had no fucking idea type of questions he has refused to ask players) and his predictions in baseball are terrible. This guy once said Bobby Crosby was going to be MVP and Carlos Perez was going to be a perennial All-Star. But despite all his faults we all know that Gammons is a deep down good guy. Yes, he is a Red Sox fan and loves to suck them off as much as possible but shit I would too if they were my favorite team.
With that being said it must take a lot to piss off Gammons because I have never heard him say a bad thing about any player let alone report it. The guy always has a half glass full type of attitude and I can admire that. So you know it took a lot for Alex Rodriguez to piss off Gammons. Here is what Gammons said last night after hearing A-Hole was opting out of his contract...
Damn A-Job, you just got bitch slapped by the nicest reporter in the sports world. Just wait till all the dicks(John Saunders) and idiots(Jay Mariotti)get a hold of you. But what do you care right? You make a bijillion dollars and bang ugly beat up whores while your wife weeps in the corner videotaping. You are just a stand up human being you sad, sad little man.

CHEERLEADING GONE BAD
I'm loving the instant replay played over and over. To top it all off it's the homecoming queen.

NEW SHIRTS AND HOODS AVAILABLE!!
Check out our store page for the newest shirts and hoods. We basically came up with a new color for the FUSC shirt in order to satisfy all the blood thirsty UCLA fans who swore they would never wear their arch rival colors.
The other two new designs are Irish related. We have an old school flavor mixed with a new school flavor so be sure to check them out and spread the word. They come in hoods by the way so you don't have to freeze your ass off in just a t-shirt.
As always a portion of all Sportscrack merchandise sales goes to the American Cancer Society. Be sure to check out their website to see how you can help others in need.
Also be on the look out this week for even more new designs including our "Gaytors" shirt and "To Hell with Tech" shirt.
