Shakira … Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fell off a stage last night in South Dakota … a baseball bat to the jaw is one way to stop a burglar … carjacker foiled - because he couldn’t drive stick … 76-year-old man hit with a taser … Murdoch: People will pay for online content! … well, uh, this story needs no introduction … letters you don’t want to hear in the same sentence with Erik Bedard: MRI … that might be how we’d react to Jessica Alba’s backside, too … allegedly, Troy O’Leary’s ex-wife is an escort … there’s a rattlesnake under her hood … Surprise! Keith Olbermann’s girlfriend at MSNBC is becoming a star … this is bound to be made into a movie …

TBL, just saw this ridiculous article in the New York Post talking about the potential for BC and Maryland to leave the ACC for the Big East.
Really, is that was passes for journalism these days? Throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks?
August 6th, 2009 at 8:18 am
Imagine what he would do if someone asked him why hes still a fat shit after being a vegetarian for a year and a half. Thats embarassing.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Seriously…the same could be said for anything lifted from Page Six. Frankly, I’m surprised Jason still goes to that well to get links for the roundup.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:21 am
wow, TG, that is preposterous. and it’ll probably get pickup on ESPN and then become a ‘legit’ story.
Why would UMD and BC leave the ACC for the Big East?
Isn’t that like a movie star downshifting to a network TV show?
August 6th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Yikes, not one of Shakira’s finer moments.
Anyone ever had a blueberry ale? I saw some last weekend but didn’t purchase for fear it would suck. Last night when looking in the fridge I was wishing I had one.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:25 am
Prince Fielder really made himself look like a jackass.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:25 am
TBL, why would you put up that junky pic of Shakira, and then bury the lovely Jessica Alba in a link? Kudos to her for getting her figure back so quickly.
I think BC would be going back to the Big East, if they went. Not that that ridiculous piece of speculation is worth anything.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:27 am
My wife kicks ass, she called to set up a service appointment with Comcast. Long story short, we now have HBO and the sports cancel package for less money than we were paying before.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:31 am
I mean, I could understand the speculation about BC, because it is up there by itself…but they really, really like the MONEY the ACC has brought in, and I don’t see a Big East TV deal that would bring in as much or more than BC gets with the ACC. Maryland’s not leaving, period.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:36 am
Comcast can be a pushover. If/when you’re yearly package deal expires, just threaten to leave for DirecTV of Fios and the prices drop dramatically.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Funny, I don’t remember Russell Martin being so diplomatic towards the Phillies pitchers after he got hit in the NLCS last year.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:48 am
how is that a junky pic of Shakira?
And you know we don’t do bikini pics to lead the AM roundup during the week.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:52 am
maybe because she resembles the fat, junk food crazy brittany spears?
August 6th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Wow that article in the New York Post is dumb. Like I said on here the other day, the ACC TV contract is up after next year, and the conference will likely bundle basketball and football, and they’re gonna get paid. Not SEC money, but a ton more than the Big East will ever get.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:55 am
roeth, did you decide who your +1 is for the OSU-PSU game?
August 6th, 2009 at 8:57 am
In ohio people jump into shit for football tickets.
In Michigan people, you know, actually attend the school and buy them.
The Michigan Difference.
August 6th, 2009 at 8:58 am
And it’s not even 9am. Well done.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Just don’t do it man. They are awful and I am not just saying that. I had one with a weird picture of a crazy dog that mildly resembled a character from Rocco’s Modern Life on the bottle. Needless to say it was one of the worst moments in my tongues life and I chew tobacco.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:01 am
The new Shakira video is fiyah. First music video I’ve seen all the way through since the Trapped In The Closet series.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:06 am
It’s a little early to determine this since the game isn’t until Nov., but I’ll definitely keep in the mind the option of a TBL PSU road trip report
Hell, you can probably give me big $ for the ticket and write it off as a business expense.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:06 am
I’ve lived many of my 32 years around hippies, and let me tell you, this is a picture of a 40 year old male hippy in (rocking) glam boots.
We hold this truth to be self-evident, TBL.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:07 am
I hope that’s a joke, clown.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:11 am
I agree with this. Page 6 is a total joke.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:12 am
TBL -
You have never heard of noodling? Typical yankee. Anyhow, check out Okie Noodling and Okie Noodling II one evening if you get bored. I guarantee you will never want to visit the state of Oklahoma after that. Those movies are documentaries which means the characters are not actors. Very scary.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:14 am
how is that a junky pic of Shakira?
Is she a fat girl? Because she looks like she’s hiding Kim K’s ass underneath that blousy black skirt.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:15 am
TBL - following up on my previous comment, I have 4 tickets. My brother-in-law and I will definitely be using two. Our wives will go to the game provided the weather is decent (they’re fans, but won’t sit out in the cold/rain for 4 hours). If they pass, then I have 2 tickets that become available for friends/family/bloggers.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:16 am
This is the most damn riduculous thing I’ve seen so far today… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBJzZts4qZo
However, she looks far from fat. Methinks just a bad angle in the roundup pic.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:16 am
saw the lead singer for Hinder fall of the stage once. worst.band.ever. not sure what that has to do with Aerosmith, just like sharing my hate of the worst band in the world.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:17 am
see, mags, this is what happens when your fanbase actually gives a shit about football. tickets are in such demand, people would be willing to do anything for them.
then again, i don’t expect passion and fervor to be understood by a michigan man.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:17 am
KC, I look at noodling as one of the ways to determine if a person is worthy to procreate…quite simply, if you’re willing to risk a finger getting bit off by a snapping turtle to get a muddy catfish, you are sterilized on the spot.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Anyone ever had a blueberry ale? I saw some last weekend but didn’t purchase for fear it would suck. Last night when looking in the fridge I was wishing I had one.
Bar Harbor makes a pretty good one, it’s not overpowering and is relatively cheap.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:20 am
why wouldnt bc or maryland leave? there are much better markets in the northeast. they would get more money. and they would compete for national titles every yr in football being avg teams
August 6th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Roeth - Kindly keep me posted via email. Really. I’m interested. If both teams are unbeaten, it’ll be quite an atmosphere in happy valley.
i have already purchased the hand warmer things for toes and feet, just in case you invite me.
first 3 rounds of beers on me!
August 6th, 2009 at 9:21 am

Good Point, the only state that it’s legal in is Oklahoma
August 6th, 2009 at 9:21 am
We were smart enough to build a stadium big enough to accommodate everyone.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:24 am
That just got real.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Love the Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale. Also Thunder Ale from the Bar Harbor Brewing Company (the Bar Harbor Blueberry is from the inferior Atlantic Brewing Company) will take you to the moon.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:24 am
I know you guys like to look at Shakira, but I swear my cat screaming when I accidentally step on her tail sounds better than her singing.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:25 am
In the event you make it (with or without our tickets), let me know. We have a pretty kick-ass tailgate set up right by the stadium. You’d be more than welcome to stop by and drink a few.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:25 am
that was nice.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:25 am
+1…that was good.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:25 am
not true, most of the delta states allow it, 11 states in all. It’s still fucking stupid though.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:26 am
How do you figure?
August 6th, 2009 at 9:27 am
Noodling is for people who aren’t all there.
Under water in the dark, sticking your hands in holes. If you get a snapping turtle instead of a catfish and the turtle is big enough, you can lose your hand. Snakes are also common to be in the holes. I just can’t see whats fun about it….Its a common thing in the south.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:27 am

Not to mention water moccasins or gar. Just bizarre. I guess I also need to throw Missouri in the mix since a lot of the contestants in that noodling contest came from Missouri and are pissed it is illegal there.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:28 am
Remarkably when given the choice between diving into a kiddy pool full of cow shit or getting a world class education and buying season tickets for $20 a piece, I chose option 2. Fervor and passion not withstanding.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:28 am
na…too early for bullshit. need coffee before yell-time.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Not sure what part of the country you are in, but if you can get your hands on some Sweetwater Blue, it is worth it. It has a slight hint of blueberry but is not overpowering. Good stuff.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:29 am
i think when Michigan plays OSU we’re just going to shut down the internet for that saturday and walk away from the computer. i really dont even want to see how vile the comments get.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:30 am
This is just a tOSU fans way of getting ready for the bowl game they are going to stink up.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:30 am
can you teach me how to tie an ascot and the best ways to demean the help?
August 6th, 2009 at 9:31 am
was it tyduffy or mags that was traveling the day of that game last year?
August 6th, 2009 at 9:31 am
I don’t understand all this fuss over two second rate programs that have as much chance at being relevant in college football at Duke does
/relevant meaning winning the BCS
//SEC Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed>*
August 6th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Let me grab my pipe.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:32 am
TBL, you know there’s this new fangled interweb thingy that allows you to purchase items (like tickets) from people in exchange for money. I believe I paid about 60 bucks a ticket for OSU/PSU night game 2 years ago.
Finding a ticket is easy, a hotel room in State College is a whole other story.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:33 am
it won’t really…michigan doesn’t stand a chance on the field. their fans can chirp all they want, but facts are facts, and the fact is they have not one single shred of a chance against the buckeyes as long as the vest is on the sidelines and pryor is under center.
and they know it too.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:36 am
So said Wisconsin.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Noodling is not common in the South. People who do it in the South are made fun of by the rest of the South. I do know that Oklahoma and Arkansas is where most of it is done.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:38 am
You mean to say you didn’t dive headfirst into a pool of shit?
August 6th, 2009 at 9:39 am
For as large as that stadium is, the way it is built is awful in terms of keeping the noise in that place. I went in 2002 (Iowa 34 - Mich 7.. YES!) and was incredibly surprised at how poorly the noise is kept in due to the bowl shape.
Big, yes. Very. Loud… not so much.
Truth.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:39 am
yea, but they’re coached by bret bielema…that’s a huge handicap.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Ah, the college football wheels are turning. Less than 30 days away. My god, it can’t get here fast enough.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:45 am
TBL: What time will today’s college football preview go up? I don’t want to miss it so I plan on working around it.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Agreed 100%, and this is coming from someone that goes to Duke games.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Noodling is not common in the South. People who do it in the South are made fun of by the rest of the South. I do know that Oklahoma and Arkansas is where most of it is done.
You are right about it being common in OK and AR. I believe its pretty common in MO, and MS as well. When was the last time you heard about someone north of MO noodling??? I am from AR and can tell you the majority of northerners don’t really know what it is ( have a ton of family in IL and MI ). Not to mention in the hot summer months in the south its a good excuse for “noodlers” to get out and go noodling.
Might be one of the dumbest things I can think of doing. Just go buy some catfish fillets at the store and be done with it…
August 6th, 2009 at 9:48 am
what the fuck is noodling?
August 6th, 2009 at 9:49 am
TBL, no offense, but if I am on your site the day of OSU v. UM, ill be pissed. that is a no internet day.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:50 am
hey man, we are pumping out college football posts daily at S&Fs.
/whore’d
August 6th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Spencer, go to a swamp, barefoot if possible. Find an underwater hole that you can’t see into. Stick your hand in there and wave one of your fingers around like it’s a wiggling worm. Hope that a catfish bites your finger, and grab the fish and catch it. Hope to hell that a snapping turtle or snake isn’t in there to destroy your hand.
Yes, some people are that stupid.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:51 am
2005, ND 17 - Michigan 10, I’m sorry, but the crowd for Michigan is either jaded about having a big time football program or they just suck at cheering. It was a close game, lots of big defensive plays, but Michigan’;s student section could give less of a fuck.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Hunter Cantwell, QB at Louisville last year was big into noodling. not real smart for a QB
August 6th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Page 6 is the shit, how else would we know if Jeter waved, mouthed goodbye or gave a thumbs up to ARod as he left the restraunt?
August 6th, 2009 at 9:54 am
Haha
August 6th, 2009 at 9:54 am
@sparty
hell year! went to your site for the first time today and loved the ultimate 11 or whatever it was

That is an apt description. Seriously, watch Okie Noodling and just be amazed that those people are still in the gene pool.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:59 am
My hat is off to you guys for including Roddy Jones in your best 11 offensive players. I’m sure GotG still has nightmares about him.
August 6th, 2009 at 9:59 am
it can get loud there. it can. FUCK YOU BRAYLON EDWARDS!

I wish I never learned what noodling was. I’ll stick with the Grateful Dead version of noodling.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:06 am
Not him. I have nightmares thinking of Reshand Jones making a mockery of the art of the tackle.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Noodling.

Include Dannell Ellerbe too. Bounced off Dwyer like a tennis ball off a brick wall.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Yeah, I wanted something shorter to type honestly.
Missed tackles happen when you don’t hit in practice!! They (UGA coaches) say that this year they will get after it, but once someone goes down that will change.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:28 am
Dwyer blows.

August 6th, 2009 at 10:40 am

August 6th, 2009 at 10:46 am
With Comcast? Yeah right …good luck with that and enjoy it until they hike your rates or fuck up something …and if you have a signficant billing discrepancy, good luck getting it fixed no matter how you contact customer service. Locally they even had to put in bullet-resistant glass in the SUBURBS in quiet Ivyland PA in Metro Philly.
I just moved and cancelled my cable subscription for the last time, after still no correct bill despite one long call and one letter to get it fixed. Now the can SUCK it as I am done paying them any money no matter what their lame asses throw at me.
August 6th, 2009 at 10:51 am
+1 Jersey. I never went to the Big House, but I will say the Michigan fans did add well to the scene at the pre-expansion Notre Dame stadium of 1995 or 1996 as I watched a win in 1990 and a tie in 1992.

relevant and BCS don’t even belong in the same sentence. The BCS was a joke when it first started, and is an even bigger joke now.
