College Football Returns -
September 2nd, 2010
Sayonara baseball, so long golf, and don't let the door hit you on the ass, tennis. You bored us to tears all summer, and now we bid you a fond adieu. The first college football games of the 2010-2011 season kick off tonight, and let us be the first to say thank you, dear Lord, for holding off on the apocalypse. Anything you can do until the end of January is greatly appreciated.
Will Boise State finally win a National Championship? Will Rich Rodriguez get fired at halftime of Michigan's second game? Will Oregon continue to exceed the boundaries of good taste with multiple variations of their uniform? We will all find out over the next five glorious months.

Of the 120 Division I teams have never played in a bowl game. They are Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana-Lafayette, Florida International, and Western Kentucky. Sure their football teams blow, but how about the lofty academic weight of their respective diplomas? |
A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.

What? You thought we were going to quote that douchebag Rudy?

noun. This hallowed acreage on the campus of The University of Mississippi rests beneath the illuminated green canopy of magnolia, elm, and oak trees.
Hosting 25,000 Rebel fans prior to Ole Miss football games, you are sure to find plenty of Southern belles showing off their incredible spreads. The food is amazing too…Hotty Toddy!
Michigan beat Stanford's ass so bad (49-0) in the first Rose Bowl in 1902 that Stanford waved the white flag with eight minutes left in the game. The fallout from the game was so severe that the Rose Bowl was not played annually until 1916.
The "bowl" in the name came from the shape of the stadium. Other post-season contests adopted the bowl name in the following years.
Saturday Must-Do's
| ESPN College Game Day | The college football experience is not complete unless it starts off with ESPN's College Game Day. The outrageous hot air and hyperbole blown between Fowler, Herbstreit, and Corso is unmatched by any other network. Watching a possible coked out Corso don the hat of his pick for the week's featured game is classic. |
| Make a Wager | Whether it's a friendly bet for lunch, peeling off an innocent 10 spot for the office pool, or taking the money line on a five team parlay with an offshore casino, bets make the game far more interesting. "C'mon, Bethune-Cookman!" |
| Tailgate | As a student this is your weekend obligation for all home games and a gift from the gods. No longer a student? Tailgating for at least one college football game a season is mandatory for any self respecting college football fan. Check out TTP's list for what to expect in the parking lot. |
| Represent | No matter if you are running errands, re-caulking the shower, or yelling your ass off in the stadium, be sure you are wearing at least one piece of your favorite team's officially licensed apparel. Actually it can be boot-legged too. Just wear it, brother. |
| Home Set Up | Having folks over to watch the game or enjoying it in solitude? Be sure you have enough beer on hand to keep everyone hammered until Monday. Salty snacks are a nice touch. |
 |
Sports bars are cool, but sometimes you don't want to wear pants or get off the couch. Call your local cable company and sign up for ESPN's GamePlan today and get all the games at home. |
