!!!Finally!!! College Football is here...

Having graduated from BYU, I will always be partial to the Cougars. However, after living here in Nebraska for the last 3 years, its hard not to be swayed by the Husker Nation. The city of Omaha is very quiet on game day, as every man, woman, child, and animal is watching the game. Memorial stadium on game day is pretty insane. First game of the season is tomorrow vs Nevada, and my boss just tossed me four tickets on the 50 yard line. GO BIG RED!!

Well, neither did I when I read it, lol! I asked my husband and was mortified by his answer. I know in most cases it's being used to describe a group of guys stroking one another's egos, and I understand that, but still...the disgusting imagery. ewww.

PS - Kevin, those are your babies in your avatar, right? They're adorable!

Ah....it's quaint that you Utahites feel the need to cheer for your Mountain West teams....but do I even dare comment on my U of L Cards 73-10 stomping of Murray State? BYU BYwho?

You're exactly right, Kimberly. That's the meaning the phrase has acquired when used in respectable company. And, last year when I employed that very colorful and descriptive phrase, that was exactly my meaning and context -- and everyone concerned knew it. But, since it was so fashionable then (and remains so now) to make me an offender for a word, my use of the phrase was pounced upon immediately by certain parties willing and anxious to deride me in any way possible.

And so I just let it go. Until now. But now you, with your honest and truthful admission, have served to formally vindicate me. And for that I thank you.

Now, the bad boys in the room may resume their circle jerk unimpeded by any sense that they're engaged in something immoral.

I can't believe you said this. Is nothing sacred anymore?

HOW 'BOUT THEM DAWGS!

I am a long time Boise State season ticket holder and when you say"HOW 'BOUT THEM DAWGS!" it sends shivers down my spine. I remember a couple of years ago when the Broncos went down to Georgia to make a statement and ended up curling up in the fetal position whimpering "find a happy place".
Much props to the Bulldogs. I want a re-match on The Blue.

You're welcome, Will. I've never read the infamous circle jerk comment on MAD, but I've read commentary on it here and just this morning realized it was you who said it. I'm sure, even though I've never seen the post on MAD, that you meant it in it's more respectable form. Honestly, I'm not sure any form of it is that respectable, Will, but I completely understand your usage.

I still say you belong among the apostates during BYU games. ;)

Now, if I only knew what Silentkid meant by spunk toast...
