Get Your Alabama National Championship Gear, Rain, Shine, or Loss

Bama Fan? Then make sure to run over to Hibbets and Academy Sports locations across the state of Alabama immediately following the BCS National Championship Game. Don’t you worry about pesky little details like who won. It appears even with a Bama loss you will be able to pick up Crimson Tide National Championship items (like a houndstooth thong with 13 written on the front) just before they are shipped over to Nicaragua to join other collectors items like New England Patriots Undefeated 2008 Super Bowl Champions Tee Shirts…

(reads “Alabama National Championship Product will be immediately available after the game until 2:00 AM”)

Pay Attention to Your Fly Route, There is a Drop

Building a new 178 Million Dollar High School, but didn’t seem to leave yourself enough room for a Football Field? No worries. This is almost the year 2010 and that is practically the future. We have the science to build vertical and put an entire field on top of your school. Just try not to outrun the end zones whilst playing and good luck with afternoon Study Hall while Oklahoma Drills are going down just above your noggin…

Cliffside Park-based RSC Architects, in partnership with architecture firm HOK New York, designed the new 360,000-square-foot Union City High School, located between 24th and 26th streets on Kennedy Boulevard in the Hudson County city. The educational facility includes 66 classrooms, art and dance studios, photography and broadcast studios, technology labs, a media center, a gymnasium with bleacher seating for 1,800 people, a cafeteria, an outdoor courtyard, and a 900-seat performing arts auditorium, according to RSC.

A unique feature of the school is its rooftop athletic facility, which encompasses more than three acres of artificial turf for a regulation-sized high school baseball field, a soccer/football field and a grandstand area for 2,100 spectators, the firm said.

Unique? You don’t say…

Do What You Will, But Don’t Your Dare Speak Ill of…

This is what happens when you go ahead and claim XIII, rap on Julio, and peep in on Pet Smart bathrooms. Your enemy goes and pulls a fast one on you… ‘dem be fighting words Texicans. And we’ve seen men die for less…

It Is Already Over

That supposed National Championship Game against Texas in January? Eh. Just an annoying formality. It’s time for lucky #13 and there is no time to waste in celebrating it. We haven’t seen this big of a slam dunk investment since “S: The Coach” stickers were released when Mike Shula was hired.

How I Met My Favorite Vintage Auburn Shirt

Seriously Marshall Erikson (AKA Jason Segal, the completely naked dude in Forgetting Sarah Marshall) where did you track down such an awesome relic of SEC style past? I (TJ) must know. Don’t get too overzealous though Auburn fans, as a TV sitcom trying to offend no one and appeal to everyone Lily is wearing houndstooth underwear and picked up a meth addiction to prove How I Met Your Mother isn’t taking any sides in the most heated rivalry in College Football…

Bama Fans Like Turtles, Use Them For Competitive Advantage – Movie Adaptation Pending

You can add Alabama Crimson Tide fans to an elite list of people that already includes Zombie Children and Marching Band Members. I am of course referencing the types of people who really really like Turtles.

The Epic Story that follows was forwarded on to us from an anonymous source… it tells of the journey of a young man (from his perspective), his turtle Julio, and their beloved Crimson Tide.

Please enjoy and tread carefully if you have younger children, dark magic & illicit smuggling are central plot points…

A Below Average Photo Essay: Who Dat – Saints Invade FedEx & The Redskins (boosh)

Welcome to the FROZEN tundra of FedEx field.

Actually by far the least punctual stadium in the National Football league (unless you LOVE concrete spaces), yet all was well as it hosted thousands of Katrina Refugees / Bourbon Engulfers / Who Dats / Cajun bastards for an American Football match for the ages.  The Saints and their fans stomped and cursed and barely came out alive and ready for a work day Monday as we all struggled through a brutally cold early afternoon somewhere in Maryland.

But of course thanks to my fellow Beltwayers for being such fantastical hosts (i.e. not calling the cops on us, that is really all it takes), 12-0 did not come as easy as expected….

Taught in pre-school of their inherent insanity, Saints fans know they drink way too much before ten in the morning and thus they shouldn’t drive from Georgetown to Landover, Maryland without hiring a heated bus and escort. And here we find ourselves… this is true foresight.

The Program’s Picks

Every week the the degenerate gamblers who run this site attempt to pick games for the upcoming college football weekend. We are usually completely and totally wrong, blinded by team allegiance, alumni status, and probably a 5th of Makers. That being the case, we’ve enlisted help of professionals…not for the Makers problem, but for the gambling one. The Geek Sheet experts have decided to set us all straight this season. They’ll be here to give you the winners, blow your mind with high level statistical analysis, and shamelessly plug their own site…which is something we have great admiration for. Be sure to check out their site for more. Now, on to the picks…
