The Big Ten and Pac Ten suck. There should be a play-off.

Some South Park episodes make me chuckle a bit and others I find mildly amusing. However, once in a while, one comes along that makes me laugh my ass off. Last week's salute to Heavy Metal was one of those episodes.

Last year's episode that really made me laugh was "Make Love Not Warcraft". I have never seen the Imaginationland Episodes...so I can't comment on those. I downloaded them but I have never watched them.

I am so sick of winter. We are under about a foot and a half of snow.

I hear on the news that it is supposed to be in the 50s by Wednesday or Thursday. It is also supposed to rain that day. I have started building an Ark. We are going to need it.

I can't say that I am surprised that OSU lost. I predicted LSU to win, but I just thought the game would be a little closer.

LSU DBs were great. They were one of the biggest factors in the game. OSU receivers couldn't get an separation. The fact that the receivers only seemed to run go routes or fly patterns made them somewhat predictable.

All that said, you change three plays and the game might have been different. (1) Rehring's false start on 2 and 4 inside the 5 (I think) -- OSU is forced to settle for a field goal and goes up 10-0 instead of almost assured 14-0. (2) Robiskie's drop in the endzone that would have been a TD -- next play FG blocked; (3) Austin Spliter roughs the punter after the defense stops LSU on the first drive in the second half. Then again if the Queen had balls.....

OSU losses over the last few years:

2005 Texas (Vince Young)
2005 Penn State (Michael Robinson)
2006 Florida (Tim Tebow -- parts of the game)
2007 Illinois (Juice Williams)

Common factor: mobile QB running a spread or zone-read option.

Rodriguez's specialty: spread or zone-read option. Ouch.

Tyrelle Prior will probably go to Michigan now. This sucks.

How do you replace and old Carr? By getting one with Les Miles.

Ugly. They made Syracuse's uniforms look pretty.

I think you get the same effect if you get stoned and look at a Michigan uniform. Yuck.

Edit: Looks like Keith Olbermann agrees with me.

One thing is certain. Buckeye fans are taking way too much joy in Michigan's historical loss to a FCS/I-AA school. And karma payback is coming in November....Michigan is a lead-pipe lock to beat the Buckeyes this year. If they don't, I do not see how Carr can hold onto his job no matter what Michigan's AD says. Never fear Lloyd. If Hart is healthy, Michigan will win this year.

I watched ASU destroy YSU last year and I figured that ASU's QB and spread offense would give Michigan fits for 2 maybe 3 quarters. After that, I thought Michigan's size and depth would start to grind ASU down. Nope. Why the hell was Hart on the bench for 2 quarters? He clearly wasn't hurt because he ripped off a big TD run when he finally made it back into the game. Michigan won't win many games with that guy sitting on the bench.

I wonder if this is what Jim Delaney had in mind when he started the Big Ten Network?

His initials are ASP or Asp which is an archaic name for a venomous snake. I wonder if that tells us what House he will end up in? The little guy better hope his grandmother's eye/soul thingy wins out.

Hmmm, this movie looks very very familiar. I can't put my finger on it. For some reason, I keep thinking of plants or pods....but that can't be it. ;)
