Camilla Belle … be a Mad Man for Halloween … man points a gun at skateboarder, you have to see the rest … how is Zillow on this list? Been a great tool since 2007 … good way to get a book deal: Become an ‘abortion addict‘ … when deer attack … man steals seven cases of beer, goes back for four more … Mike Miller of the Wizards looks like a “transvestite zombie” in these photos …she stole beef jerky, the police showed up, so she got naked … disturbing story we’re only linking to because the mug shot screams psycho … locals won’t soon forget this Arkansas lottery winner …
Mike Sims-Walker was inactive from the Jags’ game because he missed bed-check due to a “rendezvous with a lady friend.” (Second String Fullback)
Chris Bosh is a hero – he reclaimed his domain name from a fan who was hoarding 800 URLs, including the names of many NBA players. (Last Angry Fan)

Kansas guard Brady Morningstar’s DWI wasn’t just an isolated incident … he might have a drinking problem. (USA Today)
Minnesota Twins fans, avert your eyes. (Bob’s Blitz)
Interesting history (at the bottom) of USC QBs in their first start in South Bend: 3-5. The last two, Sanchez and Leinart, won, though. And yes, that’s two USC-ND links in the roundup. Yes, we’re excited about the game. (LA Times)
Frauds: SEC football this season. Ole Miss was vastly overrated, Auburn’s schedule has been laughable, the LSU offense is ranked in the bottom third in the nation, and Vandy lost to Army. (Covers)
Eventually, we hope to make it to the Field of Dreams, too. (Ann Arbor.com)

lost by 5 in my league. thanks jack bring a f’n ax into the locker room but don’t let a young guy dip out for some tail del rio
October 15th, 2009 at 8:10 am
*sigh*
Here we go again. The conference that has won half the BCS titles in history is a fraud. Why are they frauds? Because a team that is winless in conference lost to Army? Because the MSM, not SEC fans, overrated the shit out of Ole Miss. Ole Miss is exactly what anybody who pays attention to the SEC thought they were.
And if you’re gonna cherry-pick the bad out-of-conference losses, can I mention that Alabama beat Virginia Tech on a neutral site? Or that LSU beat Washington on the same field where Washington beat USC? LSU’s didn’t have a “bottom third” offense that night.

At least one of the teams is good at college football. On Mangirl and Meatball this morning, Mangirl actually defended Notre Dame, saying their only loss was in the waning moments to a Michigan team that turned out to be pretty good. I spat coffee everywhere when I heard that.

October 15th, 2009 at 8:39 am
I have been screaming since the get-go that Ole Miss wouldn’t be as good as advertised. When you have HDN coaching you, you will never live up to expectations. Auburn still beat a good West Virginia team, Auburn also has a new head coach this year and has still been ranked. LSU is good enough on defense to have shortcomings on offense. Vandy is only in the conference to help with GPA’s and to make the SEC look a little better.
Meanwhile, the SEC also has the #1 and #2 team in the nation and will probably win another BCS National Championship. Yawn.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:40 am
@sparty – You can give them to me.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:40 am
The notion of the SEC being fraudulent is laughable, but touting LSU’s offensive performance against a team that ranks 106th in total defense and 90th in scoring defense isn’t making a strong case for them.

October 15th, 2009 at 8:43 am
The SEC is down, no doubt about it, but so is the B12 and they are still the top conferences. The Big East has one very good team, though tonight’s game could prove that false. The ACC has 3 solid teams. One star team in VT (who Bama handled) one very good team in Miami and a pretty solid GT team, though its defense is UGA-like in its crappiness. The Pac 10 is USC, Oregon….and a big drop off to Stanford, Washington and Cal. And we all know what the Big 10 is. Ohio State and everyone else. The parity in college football has made this season not as exciting as ones in the past in my opinion, though the inevitable Bama-Fla game is going to be epic.

I just realized that. I can’t believe I wasted my time responding. Not that I don’t bet on sports, but this guy is just mad the SEC teams aren’t covering more wagers. What a fraud of a story.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:49 am
we (my family) usually ended up going through the Giants Ticket Exchange to move them when none of us go. but i thought i would take a chance at sitting next to a commenter or two. my family has 3 seats. my brother usually goes to the game and he brings his son or we find a third. he isn’t coming to the cards game on sunday night the 25th, but I still plan on going. Asked a bunch of people I normally do, and they all said they couldn’t go or didn’t want to spend the money right now.

October 15th, 2009 at 8:51 am
The article doesn’t claim that Bama/Fla are frauds, just the conference this year. When LSU and Ole Miss spent time in the top 10, thats called being fraudulently overrated. Its just like any other conference this year, two good to great teams and a bunch of meh.

October 15th, 2009 at 9:04 am
You’re right, but I’m not sure they will be in the discussion. Sure, a guy like Mike Lupica will say that they should be play in the game, but those who actually follow the game know that BSU is done in terms of a national title game. They had better hope that TCU loses a game or they will be 12-0 and playing on the GMAC bowl. Should TCU run the table they will have a higher BCS ranking for sure and they might even have a gripe for a national title. Wins against UVA, Clemson, Utah and BYU.

then, but not now. both teams are ranked representative to what they’ve earned to this point. the SEC is no longer overrated this year. it’s the best overall conference and the teams are appropriately ranked.

Maybe if you possess the arm span of Michael Phelps. I’d try to stack five and carry the other two by weaving the handles through the hands that are carrying the stack.

I think the guy stacked all 7, and told the clerk he’d be right back. I think he carried them like blocks, but a really tall stack. Then he came back in, grabbed four in a hurry, and bolted.
I’m figuring 7 cases of beer to weigh 126 pounds, so it’s not necessarily Herculean, just more dedicated and geometrical.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:19 am
fuck yea…if it grows in the dirt, take off your skirt.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:20 am
i go back to the fransico garcia exercise ball argument…126 lbs isn’t a lot, but when it’s stacked and requires the use of stabilizer muscles to balance it…it’s much heavier.
but this is in baton rouge…the guy probably wasn’t even wearing pants. crazy shit happens down there.

That sounds awesome. Going to a black college that shit was taboo.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:23 am
I carried 5 for a very short distance once back in my tending bar days. a case is about 20 elbeez, so that in itself was about 100 lbs. the problem was the stack was well over my head and somebody had to direct me which way to go. I can’t imagine adding two more cases and not dropping the whole load.
October 15th, 2009 at 9:24 am
And honestly, we are all better that these two go back to the primordial ooze.

October 15th, 2009 at 9:25 am
OK, I gotcha.
I can agree somewhat. Top to bottom the conference is a little down this year, Georgia and Tennessee are both way down. However, this may be the one year we have the clear cut two best teams in the nation. At least Bama has shown they are one of the two. Florida has won ugly, but their defense is so good they just try to score 10 pts and its over.
Bama vs. Texas would be a tv ratings and NCAA wet dream. There is a good chance that happens.

3 in the middle and 2 in each hand. Pick up the three in the middle, balance them against ur other arm or body while you take 1 arm and pick up 1 case by the handle. Extend ur fingers so you can grab another case. Now do the same for the other hand and make sure you have both arms under the 3 middle ones while you walk away.

wilhelm, I guess I meant cheap canned beer more than the cardboard. I buy expensive beer by the 6’s or 12’s, like a real microbrew snob (although not like some of the dudes on here, with their 8 dollars each mail order beer).
October 15th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Probably about $175, I’m guessing. I don’t really drink more than a few beers in a setting much anymore, though, so I’m outta the loop. Bet you could get 11 cases of Keystone for close that.

Right with you here at least a month ago …watch these bojack SEC types, now that whatever team they homer has not only lost but played like shit consistently before the next team they touted did the same including playing the almost annual Auburn card, homer Alabama as the best in the nation as well as their conference “parity” and so on.
October 15th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Thus saith our resident self-annointed “objective” college football analyst who believes both his town of Atlanta as well as its major newspaper are absolutely great too …
October 15th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
And as I wrote for weeks with high condemnation, YOUR LSU Tigers were not overrated? As usual, they suffer a loss at home to blow their season for the most part. Good luck with that sorry offense.
These are just the ramblings of a bitter LSU fan who now has to resort to homering his conference just like that bitter Georgia fan.
These two homers for the SEC seem like watching a tug-of-war between two dudes engaging in such with both their beards and jimmies, but maybe these Southern hilljack types could fill folks in on that somewhere else.
