Need a Laugh?

Part I
This Tennessee fan is really funny. He does a piece on the Top 20 logos in college football. It is articles like these that suggest we shouldn't start talking football until the beginning of August. There's just not enough material to discuss. Nevertheless, this is well done, though at times, it seems he is more making fun of the logos than liking them.

Top 20: http://www.rockytoptalk.com/2008/8/6/587793/the-20-coolest-college-foo
Example:

Note the oh so subtle darkening of the "I."
Hey, your stupid tiger only has one appendage!

Extra points to FIU, though, for havings its dangerous, one-legged wild animal crawling out of its border. It's coming for you!


This one too…


If you think the chicken is intimidating, check out the Louisiana-Monroe warhawk, the only avian known to man that can actually unleash an electrical storm from its dirty sphincter.

The Western Michigan bronco is galloping like the wind, its well-toned muscles rippling with effort. The fact that the stud is working a wad of Skoal at the same time just puts it over the edge.


It is funnier in context. Don't miss the intro where he explains he likes green and birds.

Part II
Isn't Boyd the same dude who tried to Soulja Boy with Thomas and Knowshon last year? This guy is really crazy. They recently moved him to fullback.

Boyd played a handful of snaps at fullback as a freshman in high school. For a position he says is foreign to him, he seems to be learning quickly. His effort convinced coach Mark Richt to give him a scholarship Tuesday night. The next day, Boyd made an impressive block during a light scrimmage...

...Boyd's favorite meal consisted of chicken fried on a skillet, rice, and sautéed green peppers, onions and mushrooms. He'd also throw in a salad with vinaigrette or Italian dressing.

"I love to cook," he said. "My dad taught me. I can cook up a steak or bake a casserole. ... If there's any single ladies out there, give me a call."

Boyd will stop at nothing to earn playing time. He's even tried to make deals with Chapas and quarterback Matthew Stafford.

If he secures the backup spot, he told Chapas he might need to fake an injury for the first game so Boyd can start in his place.

"He said he'll think about it. I might have to slip him a little cash or something," Boyd said grinning.

His deal with Stafford is more like a pact that two childhood friends would spit and shake hands on.

"If we get down real close and we're [winning], he said he'll audible a little pass to me so that way he can get a touchdown and I can get one too," Boyd said.
