Whew. Four days of driving, back safe and not a single hiccup. And here I am, in my own room in my own house in my hometown and less than three hours to kickoff. Could not be blissier. What you missed from me this week:
Holly, your pick of Nevada doesn't indicate you're a bigot, just that you're a woman trying to make it in a man's world writing about a man's sport, and as such have to try to make shock picks rather than just discuss football. Or maybe you really do think Nevada is going to beat Notre Dame. In which case you're doing a real disservice to all the women out there who actually are smart about sports.This, by the way, from our commenter who said EA's career of choice "naturally led to" the video incident and she should be grateful for the publicity. In other news, I am picking against Notre Dame every week for the rest of the year, just to see if this guy tries to put a bomb under my car.
I'm with you on the Domers and I think Nevada might just be for reals. And if Nevada takes it to the Domers it will kill all this nonsense about how they could back into the title game by playing nobody (save USC) and beating the shit out of them.
I'm as partial to hot blondes as and red blooded american male but what happened to EA was fucked up and anyone who says otherwise is an asshole who needs to grow up. That's someone's daughter there. She makes the decision to bare all on her own hey more power to her, but if someone bares her out against her will it's called assault. End of story, just becuase she's a celebrity doesn't make it acceptable. To say otherwise is bullshit.

Posted by: SpartanDan at September 4, 2009 12:20 AMWell hell, I also think Nevada will beat nd. Its a pretty decent upset pick, they aren't too bad of a team. Of course I lived there as a kid and the Wolf Pack was my very first college football game attended in person....
