-If you haven't figured it out by now, my favorite college football team is Clemson and one of Clemson's greatest quarterbacks is a guy by the name of Charlie Whitehurst.  Not only was a pretty good QB (he used to own all of Clemson's passing records until Tajh Boyd showed up), but he played when I attended Clemson, therefore, I have a certain affection towards the guy (plus he was a high school friend with one of my roommates).  If you didn't know, Charlie was drafted by the Chargers in 2006 and has been Philip Rivers's backup for pretty much his entire career.  The other day, I saw him playing in a preseason game (which is the only time he ever plays) and I noticed that he looks like a retarded Barry Gibb.  Over the years, Charlie's hair has just gotten longer and longer and so I decided to put together a nice little collage for you guys of the Evolution of Charlie Whitehurst's Hair.  Enjoy:

-I wanted to comment on something I talked about last week.  That something was about ESPN and their obvious agendas when it comes to reporting sports.  Well, to re-enforce my point from last week, yesterday Yahoo! posted a story with strong evidence about five SEC players taking cash from a sports agent's middle man.  However, because this story was about ESPN's precious SEC, they have yet to say a word about it as of right now (5 hours after the story broke) but at the same time they don't seem to have a problem to continue to report about Oklahoma State's infractions.  Such bullshit, ESPN.

-Another week of college football, another winning week of picks for yours truly.  The funny thing is that my pick of South Carolina covering couldn't have made me happier.  Well, let's see if we can make three weeks in a row or your money back.

The Funniest Sign From Last Week's College GameDay

(If you can't read that, it says "Rudy Was Offsides".  Classic.  Also, I met the guy who Rudy sacked in real-life, he was my college roommate's (same guy from above) little league baseball coach.)

-Alright, enjoy the third week of college football.
