GET MONNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY



For the LFOF that aren't huge Pitt fans like the Floss is, that would be Ced Money. Ced Money was created for Pitt WR Cedric McGee. He is a 5th year senior, a program guy, who scored his first EVER touchdown this past week on a 29 yard WR reverse. He also had a HUGE 2 Point Conversion catch against Uconn to tie the game at 21 in the 4th quarter. Ced Money has been showing up all year and FOF and PnR decided to honor him by creating Ced Money. He is a nephew of Michael Irvin. Career Numbers: 49 catches, 428 yards. 3 carries for 51 yards rushing. 1 TD. Now he has a Floss post in his NAME!!

HIPPIES TERRIBLE MOVES OF THE WEEK

Hippies are constantly being bashed on the Floss and for good reason. Lately they have been protesting to free Islam. They also love to stand outside the front door of classrooms and other establishments smoking cigarettes right as you walk past them. It's so damn annoying. It makes me want to spit chew in their eyes. They also play ultimate frisbee and hack-e-sack. They might as well tongue eachothers balls instead. I hate hippies.

DRINKING GAMES

The Floss loves lists. So here comes a list of his favorite drinking games. Most will be of the outdoor variety because it's still tailgate season plus outside drinking is way better than inside drinking (cave men knew this). So here goes it:

5. Frisbee--For the non hippies out there, frisbee is a fun game with beer drinking involved. It should be played without running or much movement. I don't know if many of you have seen the game Kan Jam. I saw it in Buffalo when tailgating there. It involves trying to hit a small garbage can like thing. It also has a slot to get extra points. I hope that this game takes off. Frisbee or any drinking game for that matter should never be played while running. Kan Jam

4. Flip Cup--While girly, it can be a fun game if girls are involved. It can be played outside. It can also sneakily get you pretty messed up. Don't hate on flip cup like I know many of you will.

3. Beer Pong--Anyone who calls it Beirut isn't American. Possibly the lamest name for a game ever you hippie. Beer Pong would be higher, but outside it's nearly impossible with the wind factored in. Pong also brings out the competition amongst all men. Being good at beer pong earns so much street cred.

2. Ladder Golf/Horse Balls--I'm sure all of you have seen this game. The only problem with this game is that not everyone has it. It's actually rare to see. The rules can vary from player to player, but it's still a very exciting game. Playing this game is really a treat for the Floss. This may be a little too high, but well it sits at #2 for a reason.

1. Corn Hole--The ultimate tailgating/grilling game. It is only played outdoors mainly which makes it pretty boss. The whole set up rules. It involves some awesome creativity with the decorating of the bags and the boards. Pitt or Steeler boards are fantastic looking. It also involves a ton of standing which is great for beer drinking.

NOTRE LAME AT PITT

As Paul Zeise pointed out in the PG today, the biggest game for Pitt this weekend is Friday's showdown at Nippert Stadium between WVU and Cinci. The one game BE championship on Dec. 5th is all that really matters in the grand scheme of things. If Pitt beats ND and fails to land in a BCS game, it really won't make the sting of not playing a BCS game any better. A win over ND would however provide a strong case for the BE as a conference (although with half of your conference in the top 25) you don't need much else. Where Uncle Dave has the Pitt program right now versus where Fat Charlie has his program is much different. Uncle Dave built his program from the beginning for the long term. He rebuilt the lines, changed Pitt's identity, and learned how to compete in the conference. He is 18-5 since the '07 Backyard Brawl. Fat Charlie went to two BCS games early in his tenure, but he has lost all grasps of coaching. He has lost to Navy twice in 3 years and the worst Syracuse team in their entire history ALL at Notre Dame Stadium. Weis said when he got to ND that he would no longer lose to the Pitt's and Purdue's of the College Football World. I hope his players quit on him and Pitt drops a half a hundred on them Saturday. The Flossin' prediction for this game is:

PITT 45
ND 27

PITT/PSU SERIES

I hate to comment much on this series cause it's probably not happening for a long long time. This season could be a small wake up call for the Nitters. A 10-2 season with their best win currently over #58(Sagarin Ranking) Minnesota. Although they do play #51 Michigan St. in their rivalry game to end the year! The scary thing is that they still may get a BCS game. If they finish in the top 14 of the BCS they have a great chance to go. It is because they have a VERY large and passionate fan base and will draw revenue for the game, bowl city, tv, etc. So really, if Penn St. wants a BCS bowl game every year (they do) then WHY would they schedule Pitt? This just gets into the problem with college football seeing as they can still get a BCS game when they clearly aren't deserving. I'm pretty sure any team in the country could lose to their top 2 opponents at HOME if they wanted to. They won't beat anyone this year, but they still will be rewarded. It's not Penn State's fault the schools don't play as much as it's college footballs. There are other great rivalries that aren't made by the conference (Georgia-GT, ND-USC, Florida-Florida St., Clemson-South Carolina, etc.). It would be a dogfight every year, one that would dominate the local and national market. Everyone considers PA a top 5 state as far as high school football, so ESPN would eat up the "these kids played each other in high school now in college" angle. It would help keep top WPIAL and state talent in state. Maybe not in the interim, but if the game played for a long series, kids would be forced to pick sides. They would then have more of an affiliation with whichever school they picked (PSU or Pitt). Another issue is PSU needing 7 home games. They can easily fill 7 home games every year even with playing at Pitt every other year. If this was such a huge issue then maybe arrange a series where it is 4-4 over 10 or 11 years with off years to fill the extra home games. The reason the series must be more than a 1-1 is due strictly to what would happen after a 1-1. Hypothetically, if PSU goes 2-0 against Pitt in those 2 games, they would never play us again because they got what they wanted. All they want from it is some bragging rights. If it goes 1-1, the fans will clamor for more leading to the need for a series extension. If Pitt went 2-0 in the series, Penn St. would never play us again because they wouldn't be able to handle the smack talk coming from Pitt fans. They would want it to be forgotten and stick to playing the cupcakes they currently are playing. But in a year when Penn St. will have no solid win to latch onto, wouldn't they love to have a win over Pitt to at least take something from the 2009 season?

Great Floss....makes up for the absence.

Beer Pong is #1. Even if it's indoors, it's #1.

That game needs to happen. All the $ aside, it needs to happen. PSU needs a rival. No fun being a fan of a team with no rival.

Whoop ND's ass Saturday.

Great return blog...

Personally, I think Dizzy-bat should be somewhere on the list. At least consider it 6 or 7.


Don't think I didn't forget your promise about DDing for the bars next time you're home-- The bartender at Pirmanti's in GBG had a thing for you.
