• Overheard comments (from the free-entry field):
In the words of Mystikal: f--- it, here goes nothin'!
Yeah, that's right. I said UTEP.
I should have picked Washington, OK?
I don't offer any of you clowns protection.
If your unranked choice is not ND, you have no balls.
But most the time I spend behind these county bars 'cause I drinks a bit...
If I lose, Accardo will have me clipped...
Jay still sucks, right?
I already have the Paterno collection.
