NEW PAPN! LET’S GET TO HOLLERIN’.

Topics:

  • The current top 25 and the difference between best and most deserving. Basically: Would you be aghast at the thought of No. 21 LSU in the semis or no? That’s the entire argument.
  • The good old, Midwestern fun of the Big Ten title game. Great atmosphere, great, cold-ass tailgating ... great.
  • Today’s Democracy Prep teams of the week: Rice, Boise State, and USF.
  • Mike Gundy’s quarter-title, and let’s re-litigate 2011 all over again!
  • Gotta pony up and commit, USF.
  • Boise State vs. Idaho in a bowl? BOISE STATE VS. IDAHO IN A BOWL.
