Well if the internets are to be believed ESPN has laid out $500 million for the entire BCS collection plate. That includes Rose, Orange, Sugar and Mythic. Yes, that horrible BCS, sans playoffs as GameDay is so ought to mention, is apparently worth the agenda setters in Bristol double what Fox paid for it last time. Apparently despite all the "flaws" College Football interest is rising and possibly at all time highs. This of course would mean a few things. One is that for the first time a championship game (however wacky it is) for a major sport could only be viewed on cable. The other of course is that abc/espn thats been leading the playoff charge will have paid gobs of money for the rights to not to show the playoffs. I'm not sure what Mark May will pick on to prove that his testicles are still descended. Nonetheless its certainly noteworthy

Anyway other things to Cheer or Jeer

Cheers: to the Illibuck. The Illibuck. You know the wooden turtle given to the winner of this week's Illinois v. OSU game. On my list of Big 10 trophies its 4th behind the Little Brown Bug, Paul Bunyan's axe, and the Thai Brothel (Michigan State v. Penn State)

Jeers: To Sarah Palin. Why are you still in the news? Can't you have the decency to follow John Edwards and make your illicit affair public and then disappear from all human records?

Jeers: To the 3 ring circus known as the Cleveland Browns. Honestly I didn't think it was possible to make the Bengals look competent and low key but Crennel and Savage have managed to look even worse. Well done guys

Jeers To the possible threat of Killer Cats. Don't I have enough to worry about?

Cheers: To the potential to history repeating itself. Remember the last place team in the NFC South always wins the division the next year. I knew I should've picked Atlanta!

Cheers: Something Something Bond Rules Something Something
