-What would happen if a freshmen or sophomore college football player decided to transfer because of a program/major he wanted to study at another school and not because football?  Sure, he would still play football, but he's not changing schools because of football, he's doing it to further his education.  Would the NCAA still make him sit out a year?  I know that if a player has already graduated there is a loophole in the rules that allows you to pull this off, but what about younger players?  What about kids who choose a school, got there, and found out that they are not offering the education he was looking for?  Would the NCAA still punish them?  The is answer is probably yes, but that's because the NCAA is stupid and couldn't govern a kindergarten class with a handful of candy.

-Why does the University of Colorado use this symbol?

Daniel Tosh brought this up on his show a couple of weeks ago and I thought he made a valid point.  It is the University of Colorado and yet they use a logo and chant "CU" for their football team.  Who is the genius who came up with that?  I just felt like this should be brought to everyone's attention so that ridicule may ensue.

-Finally, I'm back on the winning side!  The funniest part is that while watching the Mich v. Mich St game, I was pulling for Mich St and was pretty happy when they covered.  But when I went to mark a "W" on my pick sheet, I found out that I had picked Michigan.  Oh well, I still had a winning week and I feel sane again.  So, this week I guarantee a winning week (again) or your money back.

The Funniest Sign From Last Week's College GameDay

(My favorite sign said "Snape Killed Dumbledore", but I couldn't find a picture of it.)
