Fudge Dragons
Football: It's never too early for recruiting and I love the WWI reference by Scipio in his thoughts on the 2011 class. You can't throw more bodies at a problem, but you can always through throw (it was late) more UT taught history metaphors at it and feel smugly justified in your useless liberal...
Aston Villa as Shakespearean characters
On Friday night I was lucky enough to be given tickets to go see the Shakespeare Theatre Company's production of Shakespeare's Cymbeline here in DC. I love Shakespeare, but I had neither seen nor read this play. Turns out, I had really been missing out, as it is one of the Bard's more enjoyable...
The World's Largest Outdoor College Football Poetry Contest: A Fan Poll Before the Georgia-Florida Game
I feel guilty for failing to give credit to each example of artistic expression to have appeared here this week; although I linked to the first few such poems in this week’s Too Much Information, additional fanposts were posted here between the time Too Much Information was scheduled and the time...

Sunday Morning Rockpile: A Trip to the DL
You know, maybe this is one amazingly brilliant plan the guys cooked up during the offseason. Maybe someone read Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part I and thought it would be a good idea to set the bar really low during the start of the season, just as Prince Hal set the bar low for himself before...
