    In the first couple of minutes of the video, I wondered who this a--hole Tosh.o is. By the end, I had done a 180 and thought it was very funny and well done.

    Tosh is a bit of a douchebag... but that was pretty funny.

    :lol:

    Here's a tidbit I didn't know and quite frankly I am surprised at the stat.

    The Auburn/Georgia rivalry is older than that Alabama/Auburn rivalry. Not only that Georgia and Auburn have played each other a lot more than Alabama and Auburn

    Georgia/Auburn Feb 20, 1892 120 games UGA leads 57-55-8

    Alabama/Auburn Feb 22, 1893 81 games Alabama leads 45-35-1

    Sid, Miss St. is the cowbell school.

    Terry, Alabama and Auburn started playing each back in the late 1800's but I think that ended in 1906. Politics and the fact that games got too violent both on the field and off played in a decision t not to continue the games until the late 1940's. A lot of people don't realize that.

    Daniel Tosh is a graduate of UCF, was born in Germany, but grew up in Florida... for those who were wondering.

    Corey, Tosh is funny by being a contrarian. His shtick is to say outrageous things and make outlandish jokes. He's fun to watch because he is different.

    Ara Parseghian called games in the 80's...

    <t>I totally didn't remember that.<br/>
    <br/>
    Was going through some old games that are on YouTube, and decided to relive the 86 Cotton Bowl when the Aggies played Auburn and Bo Jackson.<br/>
    <br/>
    I was punished by having to listen to the little weasel: Brent Mushmouth, but was rewarded with Ara as the analyst. <br/>
    I guess I didn't realize how things have changed.<br/>
    It was so different to hear a guy tell you what he saw going on rather than blather on and on just to fill space.<br/>
    <br/>
    Thought you ND guys might want to know that there are probably more games out there you'd be interested in. Ara was working for CBS back then.</t>

    Mich State is a 17 point underdog to the Buckeyes this weekend. Not surprising that the Buckeyes are favored and it is a home game. But MSU has done fairly well at the Shoe and they have been playing well, beating Michigan and Penn State and barely losing to Northwestern. So I'm a little surprised that they are that big of an underdog.

    Good article Stu. Interesting points on 1) Urban evolving into a CEO coach and 2) not running the football with a great young TB on the field.

    I will be shocked into Atrial Fibrillation if the Vols win.

    Well the first shoe of the weekend is about to drop in Palo Alto where Stanford is up on Washington 30-14 late in the 4th qtr. That effectively eliminates the Pac 12 from the playoffs.

    With Stanford upsetting Washington, today's games might be very disappointing for several teams. Should be a great day to watch some really good football games.

    Think the Sparty fans who drove down to Columbus are getting ready to get back into their cars for the long ride home. Buckeyes are a buzzsaw today.

    Also hope AJ's TV screen in unbreakable.

    I guess the Buckeyes got tired of hearing how Dantonio and Sparty had their number. 16 points wasn't near enough.

    Georgia looks like they could lose, Auburn right now seems to really be pumped up and playing well.
