alright, i am still not allowed to watch porn until we have a winning streak,

yeah, but when we rattle off like 5 in a row,
it will be well worth the sacrifice
The rain concerns me.
The last thing we need is a rain out or a suspended game.

Where are the college football fans?
Biggest games of the weekend:
Friday night primetime:
- Kansas @ #19 USF
Saturday:
- Ohio State @ #1 USC
- Wisconsin @ #21 Fresno State
And for shits-n-giggles:
Craptastic Michigan @ Craptastic Notre Dame
Who ya got?
I got Kansas in a blowout, a Beanie Wells-less OSU getting destroyed, a Badger team eking one out, and Notre Dame winning the Craptastic Bowl 2008.

It doesn't concern me.
Fresno isnt’ as good this year as they were last year. And Allen estabilished himself last game, and we have another plethora of RBs that can beat the hell outta anyone’s D-Line. And Beckum and Castillas are back – two of the VERY BEST in the country.

The Bulldogs' best player is their RB
and with Casillas back, he’s gonna pound their running game. The Bulldogs’ D-Line is good, so I think this game’s on Allen’s shoulders.
