Bloodless Coup

The Coal Bowl

Baltar thinks it sucks, but it's looking like the suckage is coming home to roost. How so?

It's only appropriate that we bring you this news on a Thursday, as that strikes us as the appropriate time for a a game between West Virginia and Marshall. The sentiment is a little bit different in the Mountain State where the Coal Bowl actually matters. Representatives for the schools and Big East conference are trying to find a television slot for the game, to no avail. Seems ESPN has decided there are other games on September 2nd that might draw a ton touch more interest.

Alas, this will not help us with the traffic situation.

Or the Thursday night games which prompt the university to ask that the instructors be accomodating on the following Fridays, by not offering things like tests to the poor tired darlings who were busy supporting the home team the night before.

Yeah, back in my day, games at the Swamp were on Saturdays, the way they were meant to be. And the stadium was open, so you could leave at half time and tune up. Not that I got to do that, because I was doing this. But hangovers took place on Sunday, as they were meant to be.
