"GRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! WHERE IS THIS LEBEAVER? I'LL PULL HIM OUT OF HIS HELMET THROUGH THE EARHOLE, TIE HIM AROUND MY WAIST AND USE HIM AS A BELT! YOU HEAR ME SON? YOU CAN'T TAME THE BEARRRRRR!!!"
A white linebacker with dreads, Ultimate Warrior-style facepaint and a first name of Bear. This guy could bring pro wrestling swagger everywhere he goes. Might be my new favorite player.
Well, I didn't think the GMAC bowl would be such a thriller, and apparently neither did ESPN until halfway through the fourth quarter when they FINALLY stopped talking about Alabama and Texas. Yes, I get it, all SEC defenses are impenetrable, most Heisman winners lose the championship game, Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley's intense bromance might be too much for the intolerant, closed-minded Alabama defense, but I WANT TO SEE THE GAME HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! Did ESPN forget that they were broadcasting a bowl game during their championship preview show? If I had just been listening I would have thought there were two games going on. When you're broadcasting sports, you're supposed to at least spend a majority of the time talking about the game you're covering. The good news is that I'll enjoy tomorrow night's game much more now that I've had a 3-hour refresher on all of the angles that have been covered since the matchup was announced a month ago.
Also, the ref's mic quit at some point during the game. I didn't understand what he said for a late hit, so I'll pretend he dropped "givin' him the business!" on the overzealous Troy DB. Every time I see a late hit, I root for that line to come up. It's like rooting for Illinois football; all the losses just make each win that much more special.
Also, Kansas stays undefeated in men's basketball. Hey Bill Self: Go Kill Self. You Brian Kelly'd the Illini. You'll have yours just as he'll have his.
