A dozen or so posts devoted to chicken tenders? Really?
Then again, it's better than all the recruiting talk.

Odd, I always heard it was the other way around. Both needed better fries, but Canes clearly had the better toast.

Laynes has been in C-stat since 1994. Canes was founded in 1996. Thanks for making me look that up lol
Chicken and CFB go hand in hand. Just look at the bowl sponsorships. Chicken is even better represented than ballistic missiles.
Irrelevant since apparently they both copied Guthries.
But such an odd thing to copy. And so specifically too. They all even have crinkle cut fries and the exact same sauce.

Well Freebirds was also founded in California, but most aggys I talk to think the original is the one in Northgate. ( College Stations bar scene )
They'll believe what they want to believe and then praise it.

God this has been the longest week ever.
I don't even know what you are looking forward to. The season has been over for 9 days now.

I remember Bellotti almost became our head coach in 2001. Him and his wife visited in January in 2001 after Cooper was fired and it was freezing cold and snowing a shit ton. His wife said no way were living here.
So we just "settled" for Tressel instead, think we won that one.

What's funny/sad:
Mike B is the nicest, best dude. His family is a shit bunch. So much verifiable awful. His wife is Cruella X Voldemort with a less-defined jawline.
Pretty sure he would be coaching against Oregon this year if not for his wife. Guy is a stalwart.
There was a 29-1 Jameis Winston 'quiet' photo that was clever but he was actually 26-1 so I jumped off. Keeping it classy because literally every FSU fan except for one probable bandwagon college-ish in my section was exceptional during the game.
Depends on who you ask. Most know it started in California, got good in College Station, then crashed one they started a rapid corporate expansion. That first time I went in and the tax was no longer included in the price, I didn't go back for about six months.
My brother owns a zaxbys and I have worked at it for around 6 years. I like it.
I had Canes once and it seemed fine.
Although on the strip in knoxville a canes just opened last semester and about a month later the longtime zaxbys that was on the same road got shut down.

Nebraska's Tim Beck is expected to replace Tom Herman at OSU.

Fork 'em, Sparky!
Well... He showed random flashes of brilliance behind a lot of middling performance, but apparently, Bo never let him run the offense he wanted to. They looked pretty good loose in the holiday bowl.
Looks like Rex Ryan will be the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
Relevant to me because we got our co-DC Mike Smith from him when he was with the Jets, and Rex actually ended up offering him double his salary to come back to the Jets as an assistant but he declined. Rex even made a trip out to Lubbock in person to tour the facilities.
I don't expect Mike to leave, but Rex clearly thinks a lot of him and I'm sure he'll try to make another run at hiring him away from us.

So you graduate a whole ~2 more football players each year? Congratulations?
Also, another walk-on got a scholarship:
We must have half the team paying their own way or some shit.

Serious coaching staff changes for UCF.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ucf-knights/os-ucf-football-charlie-taaffe-retire-post.html
Noteworthy, Charlie Taaffe retires as OC and Brent Key will take over. Also the new DC is Chuck Bresnehan (don't know what I think of this hire), USF's DC the last two years who just got canned.

The line has jumped by up a couple points, looks like it will likely close at Oregon -7
It's quite high if it's a 4-year graduation rate, which makes me think it's a 6-year rate. But even if it's a 6-year rate it'd be above the national average, which has been in the high 50's for the past few years if memory serves.
You really do seem to like posting arbitrary stats with little context.
In any event, OSU's number is impressive, since I think even the highest 6-year grad rates rarely top 90%.

If I remember correctly, OSU is a pretty difficult school to get into, so they are less likely to get the types of students who don't finish.

No one in Oregon or Ohio will be productive at work tomorrow. The world's Nike orders will be delayed, and whatever products Ohio contributes to society will also be behind schedule on Monday.

I've got a class ending basically right before kickoff and I have the distinct feeling that no one's going to be paying much attention

I'll be rooting for Oregon, I guess. Might not be able to watch the game.
I'd root for the Huskies if they were in this position
Blasphemy.

I'm going to pick my team based on what mascot I approve of most. I think this is how my sister picks her teams too.
Lets see, for about 10 consecutive years during my childhood, we would go to the feed store in the spring to pick up a few baby ducks to raise. We lived on a pond so after a couple of months they would venture out to the water and we would never see them again. They were the perfect non committal temporary pet.
I like nuts, but a buckeye is poisonous. Deadly even?
I have to pick Oregon tomorrow, but I probably won't even tune in until the second half, or whenever Monday's episode of The Bachelor concludes.

Alaska, so 4:30 here. Nice because the game will be done before 9 and I can make it to work the next day even if I party a little hard while watching the game

Emailed HR last week to see if we could get a casual dress day in honor of the game and didn't even get a response.
God, my office is so goddamned uptight. Heaven forbid we get to wear jeans for one single day.
