Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
Today In The Premiership...
• Sheffield United 1-2 Manchester United. Wayne Rooney put Manchester United on his back today and earned them a crucial 2-1 victory over Sheffield United.

The Dead Dead Schembechlers
It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last.
