- Might be off the grid for a bit, since Friday I'll be in transit to the family compound in Flowood. By the way, if you're Drew Snyder and you're reading this, please email me my MT user and pass. I have forgotten them totally and will be reduced to blogging from my parents sexy Gateway 2000 desktop.
- So, Nick Saban: You're either a man of your word and view the NFL as the last stop of your lauded coaching career, or you're trying to outdo your would-be in-state nemesis in the category of personell cloak and dagger.
No means no means $6 million annual plus endorsement. And no Houndstooth.
- So, Jim Mora Jr.: Too little, too late, but it's always fun to watch 'em squirm. FRY LIKE BACON, piggie!
- And for all of you that thought my lazy ass wouldn't make it a single two-game span.... bet on three. In the meantime, let's ring in the tradition of corporate greed, high-corruption and the total insanity that is......
"Yet Another Blogger's Bowl Preview: 2006."
So, Who's Playing? BYU and Oregon in the Pioneer Pure Vision Las Vegas Bowl
Did You Have To Look That Up? Actually, no. Scary.
What to watch for: I'm not gonna purport to be some well rounded college football fan that could say anything past, "Fuck, it's 10 pm and the SEC games are over, we've been sitting here for 11 hours. Let's go get booze and pussy!" when it comes to the Pac-10 and Mountain West games (Powder River, Bitches!). But Rod Gilmore - who apparently isn't dead, just working Wednesday night MAC games - says the Duck and Cougar coaches are all too familiar with one another's style, and this game could prove to be an early must-see for pure gamesmanship. Given that it's Vegas, anyone wanna take an over/under on Jim MacMahon showing up? We can only pray.
What this game means: Nothing, except that BYU is expected to travel strong. So? So, Mormons crowded in Vegas? Talk about short lines for a lap dance, a seat at blackjack and a drink at the bar. That's gonna be like the time I used a handicap pass to ride the log flume over and over at Six Flags.
Will Godfrey Be Watching? Not if Martin Scorcese has anything to do with it. In a last ditch effort to see the best movie of 2006 that won't involve flying dragons, I've penciled in a date with a 9 p.m. showing of "The Departed" at a dollar theatre across town.
And for those of you quick to finger me a pansy (that didn't sound right), honestly what's gayer? Leo starring in a Oscar-buzzed film, or these helmets?
Your move, NASCAR.
Winner: BYU. The only thing less sensical than being a Mormon is taking your fashion cues from Nike.
