Auburn Takes All The Tostitos Away From Columbus, Ohio

And some other thing called the BCS National Championship game. But all the Tostitos in the world now belong to Auburn! And that's the prize!



And now in 2-5 years, Auburn will be giving back all the Tostitos. But for now, you can expect Auburn's new rally cry to be "War Tostito." In 2-5 years when the NCAA investigates Auburn and a punishment is soon to be handed down, Gene Chizik will utter his soon to be famous war cry: "Give me liberty, OR GIVE ME TOSTITOS!"

Brent Musburger did have a bit of an interesting night in Glendale that included more than naming a small section of Alabama the winner of a bunch of corn chips. His over-eagerness to call a play a touchdown finally bit him in the ass.



When a guy is at the 10 and is being chased by someone on the opposing team, that is not quite the time to call touchdown. Making that whole gaffe more hilarious, Oregon would ultimately turn the ball over on downs that series. Not only did they not get a touchdown, they did not get any points on that drive.

But going back to "All The Tostitos," this is not even the first time Brent Musburger has declared them a winnable item.



"Maurice Clarett, Jim Tressel, and the Buckeyes will head to Arizona where they will play for All The Tostitos in the Fiesta Bowl." - Brent Musburger in 2002.

Ohio State beat Miami and have spent 8 years with All The Tostitos, but now it's Auburn's turn. All The Tostitos are leaving Columbus and are on their way to Auburn!

Blount Suspended For The Season

I have live blogged many memorable games and moments since starting this blog, but what happened last night with Oregon RB LaGarrette Blount may have been the most bizarre. And as a result of it, he will not play any more college football this season. And seeing as he is a senior, unless somehow he gets an extra year of elligibility, he won't play any more college football. From The LA Times.

The suspension, which was handed down by the school, will include a bowl game if Oregon qualifies. Blount, a senior, threw a punch that knocked Boise State defensive end Byron Hout to the turf.

Hout had approached Blount after Boise's 18-9 victory and struck the Oregon player on the shoulder pads. After throwing the punch, Blount had to be restrained by his coaches as he was escorted off the field.

Hout will not be suspended, Boise State announced. However, Broncos Coach Chris Peterson, during an interview on ESPN, said there "would be some internal consequences." Video footage showed Peterson trying to pull Hout away from Blount before the punch was thrown.
Good for the University of Oregon to really step in and make a statement on this behavior. And while it was seemingly not fully unprovoked as Byron Hout, the Boise player who was punched, tapped him on the shoulder pad and clearly said something, there is no excuse for sucker punching a player after a hard-fought, entertaining, albeit very sloppy, football game. While it seems that Blount is remorseful and sorry about the whole ordeal, what's done is done and Blount and his football career will pay dearly.

LaGarrette Blount Is A Disgrace

Simply a disgraceful end to the Oregon-Boise State game.



Unbelieveable. Truly a disgrace and hopefully he will pay for his immature actions. There is a difference between trash-talking and doing what Blount did and without a doubt, he crossed the line. The only good news from this whole thing is that Blount did apologize.



Apology or not, it may be a long time before LaGarette Blount plays college football again.
