Best crash landed. The brunt of the impact was absorbed by the back of his lower head and upper back. Gravity is a bitch.I’m an optimist, but when that clip was shown during Alabama-LSU (or was it Georgia Tech-Wake or tOSU-Penn State, to be honest I can’t remember there was a lot of flipping and early beers) I thought the worst. Concussions are nothing to fuck with, but that type of hit, the one so catastrophic you’ve never seen before or will see it again, is the one you watch and think to yourself how is he going to get up from that?

Best was administered oxygen, had his jersey cut off him, was carted out of Memorial Stadium and taken to the emergency room.

Best had movement in all of his extremities, Cal spokesman Herb Benenson said. Benenson also said that a preliminary evaluation showed Best sustained a concussion, but more tests were being done before a final diagnosis would be announced by the school.

That’s the good news. The bad news is this is the second concussion Best suffered in the last eight days. And that could very well be the only thing that slows him down.

Here’s to a speedy recovery.

California Golden Blogs – Initial tests come back “normal” for Best

The Eye-Gouger should be a lock for the Butkus Award. And the BEST sign of the year Lee Corso Naked Man!

America, Fuck Yeah!

And he’s going to have eleven more for an appetizer today.

Feel free to sleep in, or get an extra day of worship in, because there isn’t one game before 3:30 worth getting up for.

Wake Forest 24 @ Georgia Tech 42 – Wake is usually good for one big ACC road win a year, and so for they are oh-for. But there’s no way in hell (pun intended) they’re coming away with a win from Bobby Dodd.

Ohio State 17 @ Penn State 20 – What was supposed to be the Big Ten Championship Game is now a battle for second place. Ohio State still can win the conference with wins over PSU and Iowa, but I don’t think they’re capable of pulling it off. This game will be boring Big Ten (see synonyms: Big East, ACC, sloppy) football. PSU will grind out a victory.

LSU 16 @ Alabama 24

I’m taking Alabama because they’re the underdog.

Florida State CHAOS @ Clemson INSANITY - Stupid Clemson fans versus idiotic (Florida State) fan art, who ya got?

Oklahoma 38 @ Nebraska 17  - Regardless of the circumstance, it’s a true gift from God.

Someone other than Jesus is 37-19 (66%) on the year. These picks are only here to prove my omnipotence and are not be used as the basis for any actual cash wager. Jesus doesn’t endorse gambling.

Some quality signage from VT-ECU.

I respect ECU, think Skipper Holtz is a spit off the ole block and their fans are taking this game by the balls. However, I want to see nothing but Pirate carnage after we’re done boarding Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Can we do it? I think so. This bitch is going to be close. ECU is well coached and they’re fundamentally sound. More over, they’re at home on Thursday night, and yes Hokies, that still means something. This is their Super Bowl. So, uh, yeah how are we going to pull this out? I give you two and a half words:  we’re wounded. And it’s that time of year, you know the one where we rally the troops and win games then think to ourselves we haven’t we been doing that all year long. On the field I think upfront we’ll be able to control, no, dominate the line, pound the ball with Williams and give some breathing room for the Tyrod Taylor show. And if my word isn’t good enough Furrer4Heisman has us winning by 10 and that boy is as pessimistic as they get.

Join the conversation below.

1. Alright fellas, this is your turn to apologize to the Boston College Eagles who went to Hell and back and have now arrived as the 3rd team for the ACC (and only team in the Atlantic) to be bowl eligible. You know you were snickering in the preseason. Also, give a high five to Mark Herzlich for finishing his last treatment of chemo.

I would apologize, but who’s going to hear it? Brian is out at the mall picking out his summer clothes with Mrs. Brian, because you know you need to stay two seasons ahead. Jeff is going back and forth to Bed Bath and Beyond until he finds the right drapes and rug combination for the new living room decor. Herzlich is an Animal Champion Warrior Legend.

2. An Orange Bowl victory over a Boise/ TCU or an Orange Bowl victory over a Penn State/ Cincy team – which means more for the conference? Is there even a difference?

The conference would benefit the most in the following scenarios:

1. Win against one loss Penn State
2. Win against undefeated Cincinnati
3. Win against undefeated Boise State
4. Win against undefeated TCU
5. Win against a bourboned up Furrer4Heisman
6. If 1-4 all lose then I think one loss Cincinnati is the best win.

3. Enough with the CJ Spillers, the Christian Ponders, and the Jacory Harrises. We wanna talk defense. Who is the defensive POTY thus far in the ACC?

I am, because every time I go to the bar and get into a drunken argument with some fuck-face SEC or Big 12 fan I defend the ACC. Count it.

4. Recently, Bird compared the Atlantic to the Big 12 North.Is this a fair comparison? The Coastal is currently 8-2 against the Atlantic. There are still 8 interdivision games left. Can the Atlantic redeem itself this season?

Right now it definitely is, 2-8 is 2-8 and the Atlantic doesn’t have a team ranked in any of the major polls. However, they can definitely redeem themselves. There are more than enough games left to get them over .500 and they could always pull the upset in the ACCCG.

5. Tailgating is essential to all things football. In Atlanta, the tailgating game of choice is cornhole. What is your game of choice to pass the time?

How about slamming beers to my fucking dome until I’m so drunk that the only three things my body is capable of doing is drinking more, eating and farting. If you’re talking leisure activities not, solely, intended on making your liver squeal then I have to go with beer pong.

6. Let’s cut to the chase. There are two kinds of people: sheep and sharks. Sharks are winners and they don’t look back ‘cause they don’t have necks. Necks are for sheep. Is your team full of sharks or is your team full of sheep?

Sharks. Fuck the Jets. We’ve been the ruling party of the ACC since 2004. As of right now, we’ve lost our way a little bit, but we’ll be back.

7. Create a cocktail in the spirit of your school and explain it to us. Non-edible ingredients are allowed and encouraged.

2 parts Hokie Stone – It’s the foundation of our University.
5 parts Wild Turkey – It gets us loaded.
1 part disappointment – We’ve been so close one too many times.

No one wants to play the Broncos, well except for Virginia Tech. And can you blame them? The Broncos are an unknown quantity, there’s no blueprint on how to beat them and a win against them by a BCS power is worthless and not worth the ante. “Yeah… well you should beat Boise.” “You guys lost to Boise!?”

Darren Evans is healing up faster than anyone could have anticipated and hasn’t been ruled out of the bowl game. We hope he’s feeling 100% by January and he’s able to travel with the team, but if he’s suited up for that game we will lose our fucking shit. It’s not worth pushing it only to re-injure yourself.

Failure and Excellence. Virginia Tech is FoxSports.com second most disappointing team. Shouldn’t that read our second biggest fuck up? No Hokie fan with sensibility and a half functioning brain pegged us to win the National Championship this year and as far as the ACC race goes there’s still more than a month of football to be played. And it’s the best Tim Tebow costume because the guy found a midget to ride his face snug to his junk for an entire evening.

The South will rise again? No good sir the South rose long ago (Shepard Smith’s words not mine). Ole Miss wants students to cut that shit out. If you’re not going to listen to the man then listen to Bunkie.

Football Fan Art, one of my favorite, but not regular enough, Block-C features is back. And, no, this guy has never been to y’all’s site.

Greg Boone – Played NCAA 10 dynasty mode. Promoted himself to starting quarterback. He passed for 4,000 yards, on the button, 74 touchdowns 1 interception (tip off of Tyrod Taylor’s hand) and rushed for 1,400 yards 23 touchdowns without one carry for loss. Won the Heisman Trophy. Named most valuable player in the BCS Championship Game after leading VT to a 80-0 rout of Texas. Afterwards was baffled as to why this wasn’t happening in real life.

Ed Wang – Manicure, pedicure, full facial scrub and rub, the big man’s silky smooth hair was trimmed, but not cut. His complexion has never looked better and a deep tissue massage left his muscles feeling vibrant and ready to take on whatever defensive coordinators throw his way (or so we thought).

Justin Myer – Practiced on-side kicks.

Cody Grimm – He spent some time getting his Halloween costume together, an antique sickle with the right amount of age and character is tough to come by. Spent a day at Joe’s Diner eating the entire fucking menu bookended by double-duty on the Big Joe.

David Wilson - He bought out the men’s department at Macy’s during  their One Day Sale. He likes to look a refined fresh.

Bryan Stinespring - Stinespring sits up in bed after his alarm clock sounds off at 1:00pm. His ear to ear grin would make any clown jealous. He begins singing.

♫ I woke this morning without a play book in my hand. ♫
♫ Who’s bye week, my bye week, look at that fucking sunshine. ♫

Pops out of bed and throws his curtains open

♫ Because… It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood, ♫
♫ A beautiful day for a neighbor, ♫
♫ Would you be mine? ♫
♫ Could you be mine? ♫

Free-styling on his way to the shower

♫ No you can’t and no you won’t, ♫
♫ You all hate me and I hate, you cocksuckers too. ♫
♫ You can bitch and moan and pine and groan, ♫
♫ but facts are facts and Big S ain’t going bye anytime sooooooooonn.♫

Drys off, walks back into bedroom, closes curtains, face plants back into bed wraps his 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets around himself until he’s nestled in a snug cocoon. Repeated for the next six days.

Leave more in the comments.

Two for Tuesday is back, rejoice naked in the streets people.
