Elsewhere, get to know Every Day Should Be Saturday (EDBS). Primarily a Florida Gators football blog, EDBS reaches a broad audience of sports fans from every corner with an interesting and damn funny writing style. For example.
Today, they're up with a funny Top 10 Reasons Michigan Should be Happy including such gems as:
10. Current BCS fiasco has created a previously impossible scenario: Michigan fans actively pulling for Ohio State. Coming soon: Hutus for Tutsis, matter colliding happily with antimatter, and dogs living with cats.
They touch on the fact that the last time the Gators went to the desert, Tommie Frazier and Nebraska stuck a 62-24 shoe up their asses. The first commenter hits it on the head:
Yes, Gator fans, remember, Troy Smith is what Tommie Frazier would have been if he could THROW.
Enjoy!
