TBL’s 1st In/Out List
In/Out January 1st. 2008, 2:46pm
Yes, we are aware – the Washington Post does this, has been doing it for years, and theirs is fantastic. We grew up in the DC area reading the paper, and even though we’re now in NYC, we still actively seek this list out on Jan. 1. Now, for no reason other than we needed something to post on New Year’s Day, we have compiled our own In/Out list for 2008. It’s sort of sports heavy, with some culture, movies and our usual hodgepodge of silly and inane.

I agree, 2008 is the year of the Sunt. The Chinese need to add that symbol to their calendar.
No way that any of those girls from High School Musical are going to beat Whitney from The Hills. Hot, dumb, not as jaded and cockworn as the other girls on that show… That’s one sweet sunt.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I think Bush’s dick is in.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:16 pm
HTML is our friend
January 1st, 2008 at 3:17 pm
And Lauren Thompson looks like Mister Ed.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Sarge – Wish i knew how to post a chart in wordpress.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Already looking forward to the 2009 list, TBL.
Your Midwest (at least Michigan) friends agree….Tigers and coaching at UM are IN.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Not sure who’s IN, but Dick Clark has got to be OUT. That was spooky last night.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I’m convinced now TBL = Dan Shanoff.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:29 pm
In – Colt Brennan
Out – Colt McCoy
January 1st, 2008 at 4:02 pm
This Michigan-Floria game just got interesting. Mike Hart is keeping the Gators in this thing.
Shanoff?
January 1st, 2008 at 4:13 pm
@TBL: I wish I could help…did you try just using the Post’s source code? I’m not familiar with WP’s template
January 1st, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Didn’t check the source code, still a bit hungover for that. You just know TeBow is not going to lose this game. Dude’s a stud.
January 1st, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Arrington is a stud wide receiver.
January 1st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Mike Patrick leaves me little choice but to mute.
January 1st, 2008 at 4:49 pm
if florida loses the announcers should be forced to call him “the only player to win the heisman as a sophomore, then lose to a team that was a punchline to start the season”
January 1st, 2008 at 4:58 pm
eat shit tebow, florida, dan shanoff
January 1st, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Looks like Florida is a fraud as well. App St. > Florida.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:00 pm
carr should take the associate AD spot, then get promoted and in four years fire rodriguez. plausible.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Fantastic late defensive pressure by the Wolverines (10 point dogs!) helps pull off the win. You have to wonder why Urban Meyer didn’t keep a RB in to help blog against that rush. No time for Tebow … no shot.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Carr should walk away for good, just like we all thought he should before this win. Tebow is not god, Meyer got out coached by Ron English. Chad Henne’s bowl performance will get him drafted just like Brian Griese and he will go on to a mediocre NFL career.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:05 pm
watch rose bowl .. or play assassins creed .. tough call
January 1st, 2008 at 5:09 pm
what the fuck is emeril doing there?
assassins creed it is
January 1st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Unbelivable game by Michigan!!! I fully expected them to give up > 40 points and score in the 20’s. The offense was outstanding and the defense was very good even though they gave up 35 points. The pressure on Tebow was the key to the whole game.
I thought all SEC teams were supposed to be so much faster than all Big Ten teams? What happened? How come they could never catch or cover Manningham or Arrington?
January 1st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
@Moleman: I don’t care what anyone says, Assassins Creed is the shit. I played at my friends and I never played Story Mode, I just went around killing innocent bystanders and starting a riot.
Why no, I don’t have issues, why do you ask?
January 1st, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Also, I hate rooting for Michigan, but I’m officially rooting against the SEC for the foreseeable future just to end this superior conference crap.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:18 pm
yeah i enjoy it, the missions are a tad repetitive but the gameplay is great, i like getting all the viewpoints. best looking game ive seen on ps3 thus far, playing it on a 46inch 1080p my mom walked by and asked what movie i was watching
January 1st, 2008 at 5:20 pm
that Michigan game was tough. I hate hearing about how good the SEC is, but I picked Florida (with a 25 confidence) in my pick ‘em.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I played on the XBOX, but the graphics are gorgeous and the environment is great. AI is dumb as a rock, but I’m able to look past that.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Damn, we’re 0-4 in picks today so far! Also, we got hit hard last night in gambling (dogs were hot early in the bowl season, but they have been hammered in the last 48 hours, except for Michigan), so that’s depressing. Based on the first drive each, Illinois has its work cut out defensively. Booty had all day on that drive.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Is Juice Williams fucking blind?
January 1st, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I think that pass was deflected. Great call on the WR pass for TD … embarrassing to Illinois to hear Brent and Kirk say that went down at an open practice.
If USC goes up 21-0, this could be a bloodbath.
January 1st, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Florida- fraud. While we’re at it, might as well label Clemson, Virginia, Texas, Boise St., and any team ever to lose to a team ranked lower than than them a fraud as well. Frauds frauds frauds.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Credit card debt makes this country’s economy run. Without it, we’d just be Darfur.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:03 pm
The fraud is Ohio State. They lost a game to Juice Williams who Ron Zook doesn’t even dare to have throw the ball vs USC.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Narrator – Joke, or do you really believe that?
And come on, we all know Florida’s no fraud. But with Arkansas getting its ass beat by Missouri … yes, this puts pressure on LSU to beat OSU
January 1st, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Is Juice Williams even a quarterback? He hasn’t thrown a ball more than 2 yards down the field.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:21 pm
It was. But if you really think about it, it isn’t all that unreal. People without huge amounts of disposable income use what to buy things? Credit cards. They either pay the balance off or the CC companies hire collection services to get your stuff. That stuff is then resold [at a reduced price] to companies who then in turn resell that item to another willing participant with credit to spare. The vicious cycle counts but at the end the economy generates money because the monetary value of the items never change.
It’s all in ‘Maxxed Out.’ Netflix that shit sometime.
Back to the game . . . Juice is definitely no Vincanity Young and this USC defense actually knows when not to collapse on the read option.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:23 pm
I know Florida’s not a “fraud”, TBL, I’m just commenting on your all-too-frequent application of that label to any high ranked team that loses a single game regardless of the circumstances or margin. It’s annoying. I’ve complained about it here before. I’m a complainer, like my father, and his father before him.
Also, I love how quickly Booty crumples as soon as a pass rusher gets within a couple yards of him. It’s happened flagrantly on Illinois’s last two sacks. The guy is clearly terrified of getting hit, today at least.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:39 pm
TS – Actually, we try to reserve fraud for teams that get hype for accomplishing nothing … and then get beat by an inferior team just at the moment that the media has everyone believing. I still maintain ASU was a fraud this season. Not sure who else i called a fraud. Tennessee Titans? Still think they are … even if they beat SD in the playoffs.
Also, Juice has shit for accuracy.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:06 pm
The Titans are not fraudulent at all. The QB is, but the team as a whole is pretty good and if they beat red-hot San Diego, I don’t see how you could possibly maintain that label.
Just ran a site search for “fraud” and browsed around. Just in the past 2 months, West Virginia, the NY Giants, and Kansas have also been frauds as well. Are any of those team great? Definitely not. But I don’t think any of them were drastically overhyped, either. Every high ranked team gets hype. Shouldn’t LSU have been “frauded” as well, after falling at home to an unranked team? I didn’t look back into October, but I sure hope USC was also called out for shitting the bed against Stanford. How about my favorite NFL team, the Broncos? They were picked to win the AFC west by some people, and picked to at least grab a wild card by many. Maybe they’re frauds as well. I could go on and on. The point isn’t that I disagree with you about certain teams getting too much hype; I just really feel like you overuse the label as soon as a team like ASU or WVU drops a single game. And in a case like Tennessee’s, I really don’t think you can label a 10-6 playoff team as such. I dunno. I’m rambling. I’ll stop now. You just throw “fraud” around too much in my complainer’s opinion.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:09 pm
How could i forget WVU? Of course that team was a big fat fraud! 28 point faves at home? I will try to be more discriminating, though.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:24 pm
ASU has been . . . how do we put this . . . heavily overrated the entire year. Their bowl game showed they definitely weren’t ready for primetime players. WVU, on the other hand, thought they could walk all over Wannstache and his fighting Panthers by just showing up seeing as how everyone thought that game was a gimme. Makes you wonder why more games aren’t just played on paper seeing it always makes things easier.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Just so he makes this clear, Brent Mussturder wants you to know that [Insert highly touted in college but so-so in NFL USC WR from the past] will not be walking through that door to make a catch today.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Juice Williams needs to be moved to cornerback.
The Suckeyes should be ashamed that they lost to this joker.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:14 pm
This in/out list was the biggest piece of crap TBL has ever produced. WTF. What a complete waste of time. Saying “Wii” is out may be the single dumbest thing ever put on this site…and there have been some dumb things said on here.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:17 pm
I’m also guessing ASU has a hotter cheerleader than the horse face that the link was posted for.
Jesus, I don’t know who has worse eye sight, Juice or TBL.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Wii is for fags.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Big Ten vs. Pac 10 tradition or an irrelevant 4th quarter spent talking about how awesome living in Los Angeles is?
Thank god the Rose Bowl committee gave us this awesome matchup instead of USC/Georgia or USC/Anybody else.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:47 pm
And I still maintain that Florida is a fraud. Well not really, but they should have beaten Michigan.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Reggie Bush – The New Rick Solomon . . . . . Reggie Bush – Football Player
I’m not gay for reading OK! Magazine. Well. Probably a little.
January 1st, 2008 at 9:26 pm
i still think quinn will be the starting QB in cleveland next season
and as a dolphins fan i do NOT look forward to derek anderson in miami
January 1st, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Am I the only person that just hasn’t given a shit about this fraudulent bowl season? When a 2 loss team is in the National Championship game, it sure as hell makes the San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia bowl seem worthless.
Of course, this has nothing to do with that fact that my teams (Pitt and UMD) suck balls.
January 1st, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Dirty – Nope.
BUT, i would just watch the Georgia game with a passing interest and watch the 2008 Heisman winner – Knowshown Moreno. He has 2 TDS and we’re still in the first quarter. This kid is a MONSTER. He’s busting through all kinds of tackles. He’ll probably for 150 and 3-4 TDs. Only a freshman.
January 1st, 2008 at 9:36 pm
TBL, sorry to hear about your losses. I thought this bowl season was easy pickings. I have a boatload waiting for me in Vegas – PSU and USC were LOCKS! Who’d you pick?
Hillary in? Put down the crack pipe. I have to 2nd Jay V – stick to your core competencies…
January 1st, 2008 at 9:39 pm
For anyone who thought Hawaii deserved to be in the title game:
You’re an idiot!
January 1st, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Hawaii is embarrassing themselves right now. Time to go back to the cupcake schedule so they can continue to fool everyone.
January 1st, 2008 at 9:46 pm
A&M would have been there if not for a bad call on 4th and one from the 3rd. USC … ugh.
January 1st, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Dornoch: Yes, as an OSU fan, I am ashamed we lost to Illinois. However, barring a LSU blowout of OSU (please, let’s allow me to keep my hope alive), it’s time to end the “SEC is the best conference 4EVER!!!” comments. Florida lost to a Michigan team that committed four turnovers and a team in the SEC championship game was lucky to beat Wisconsin. The Big Ten isn’t looking too bad against these teams.
January 1st, 2008 at 10:39 pm
I am ashamed at the play calling of Urban Meyer in this game. I knew when Florida had that field goal blocked after the penalty cost them a TD that Michigan was going to either win or make it very close! Urban Meyer has a major problem in games and making SECOND HALF adjustments. Just look at the games Florida have lost this year!
I just want to know why no one is talking about the choke job Virgina did in the Gator Bowl!
January 1st, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Probably because UVA isn’t that good to begin with. I go there for grad school and I cannot believe how built up that team got, despite being not good at all. (Chris Long is pretty good though)
January 1st, 2008 at 10:46 pm
No, Brave. Wrong. Everyone with a brain knows that the super athletic children born in the deep south who end up on SEC teams just grow up to be faster (and tougher, and more awesome at football) than super athletic children born in the midwest who end up on Big 10 teams. It’s just a fact- babies from LA, MS, AR, AL, GA, FL, TN, SC, and KY are born with more athletic ability than babies born anywhere else. If you think otherwise, you’re an idiot who knows nothing about college football.
(Sarcastic rant does not account for national recruiting. Although I imagine pretty much every power school regardless of conference does a roughly equal amount of it, making local kids the difference between Florida/LSU/Georgia and Michigan/OSU/PSU.)
January 1st, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Well just remember this! Florida will have a running game next year! One of USC 9 All world running backs transferred to Florida. You add that to a team that has mostly (82% of the starters and 78% of the team) underclassmen. The Gators will be back. I just hope Meyer learns how to make adjustments in the game!
January 1st, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Holy hell, Colt Brennen looks *awful*. Hawaii is in way over their heads.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Just remember that Florida would’ve lost by 20+ points if MU hadn’t turned the ball over like they did
January 1st, 2008 at 11:31 pm
TBL brings the Chris(t) Wright love. I like it. The man is simply amazing.
It’s too bad the A-10 exists in TV hell due to the CSTV contract and poor play the last few years. While there are better freshmen out there, there are few that are as exciting as CW. You all should have seen his block in the High Point game. He literally came from nowhere and swatted a 10 foot jump shot at the height of its arc. Had to have been 12-13 feet in the air, and he sent it straight down…hard.
TBL, if you want to see CW play, go to daytonflyers.com, look to the right of the screen, and click on the “dayton all-access” banner. Sign up and watch all the home games for free. Have to use IE though, but it works with the IE-extension on firefox.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I am glad we settled this…
SEC = FRAUD.
Fuck Florida and their little bitch, Shanoff.
Oh, thank God, Almighty Auburn snuck away.
SEC is garbage.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:38 pm
“Well just remember this! Florida will have a running game next year! One of USC 9 All world running backs transferred to Florida.

Going against every inet rule I gotta say …. GHEY. Your team got beat. Go back to skinn’n possums. Backwater fuck.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:52 pm
KC Resident…I live in KANSAS CITY! I Admitted they got beat dumbass! Just pray that Your JAYHAWKS dont get there ass handled to them! I repeat…I am ashamed at the play calling of Urban Meyer in this game. I knew when Florida had that field goal blocked after the penalty cost them a TD that Michigan was going to either win or make it very close! What more do you want man!
January 1st, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Is there a mercy rule in bowl games? Because I don’t think I could sit through another quarter of this quote&unquote “best undefeated team in the country” stinking up the joint.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:59 pm
@Narrator: What’re you talking about? Colt Brennan throws 70 times a game and thus is awesome. You just hate rainbows.
and Lollipops
and gum drop smiles
and Dog the Bounty Hunter
January 2nd, 2008 at 12:00 am
I agree! This games stinks! plus what the hell are they challenging plays for!
oh yeah KC resident..I will take the women at any SEC school over K-State, Kansas and Mizzou any day of the week!
January 2nd, 2008 at 12:04 am
@gatorman 23
You’re talking about Emmanuel Moody.
Did anyone hear Brennamen go off about the time this challenge took? Definitely missing happy hour tonight.
January 2nd, 2008 at 1:05 am
Illinois beat OSU b/c Juice had the game of his life. Go back and watch the throws he made in that game, with guys in his face. Illinois certainly wasn’t one-dimensional in that game. Also – they did gain almost 500 yards against the supposed best defense in college football (Heard that quite a bit about USC lately).
And someone tell Scott Van Pelt to stop talking about how nobody wants to play Georgia or USC right now. While that might be true (last time I checked, you could use that argument with every team that wins a bowl game decisively…would YOU want to play Missouri right now…baaaaaaa), but last time I checked, the national title rewards the BEST seasons, not who’s hot at the end. Does the team with the best overall season win the basketball tourney ever year?
January 2nd, 2008 at 1:14 am
Actually..Illinois had about 450 yards. Who knows what would have happened if they don’t fumble the ball and they cut the lead to 4 halfway through the third!
January 2nd, 2008 at 1:31 am
Yeah and what if Pam Ward had nuts then she would be Pat Ward….wait does Pam Ward have nuts?
