Things I think I think

1. Do you ever think Tim Tebow's older siblings just get sick and tired of him? I mean, they've got to right? It's just natural. Especially when they see signs like this ...



2. Speaking of Tebow, if everybody in the stadium and watching at home knows he's going to run a shotgun sneak to the right side of the line, then Houston Nutt can probably cipher it out as well. Urban Meyer = fail on that play call.

3. While Ole Miss fans are probably still celebrating, they fail to realize this is Classic Nutt. His teams always manage to beat a team it shouldn't, but also lose to a team it shouldn't. We've seen this with OM already. Lost to Vandy, but beat Florida. (And you can point to Vandy's record all you want, but it's still Vandy.)

4. Forget the AP, USA Today or any other poll you see. The best CFB poll comes to us via SportsJournalists.com ... click here . If nothing else, it's the funniest to read each week.

5. Georgia's shellacking at the hands of Alabama should put an end to all the ridiculous (Insert random color here)outs. If you have to schedule a whiteout, blackout or redout to get your team and fans excited, something is fundamentally wrong with both. This rule would not apply to something truly original, like if Cal-Berkeley scheduled a tiedyeout or a rural school had a camouflageout. Those would be awesome.

Magic 8 Ball Prediction
Will Arkansas cover the spread (currently 24.5) against Florida this Saturday?

(Views expressed by the Magic 8 Ball do not necessarily reflect the views of this blog, the blog owner nor this post's author. Advice from the Magic 8 Ball is for entertainment purposes only and not for actual wagering.)

Bonus Drink of the Week — With an 11:30 a.m. kick in Fayetteville following two skullcrushings, I'm sure some Arkansas fans are worried the "atmosphere" for this Saturday. As we all know, "atmosphere" is code for "number of rowdy drunks in the stands." Not to worry, we're here to help. Get a red plastic cup, fill it with ice. Pour DeKuyper Peach Tree Schnapps over the ice until the cup is half full. Top with Sunny D. Drink. Repeat until you feel atmospheric.

I should visit that Sports Journalists site more often. That's entertainment.

If only Tebow were Catholic, he would be the perfect fit at Notre Dame and we could start a prayer chain for him.

Totally agree on the blackout/whiteout thing, and love the magic eight ball as always.

But my favorite part of this week's "things I think I think" is the advice on atmosphere. Mom, more Sunny D, please!
