This weekend’s college football action was pretty uninspiring, but mainly because I barely watched any games, since I was in a drunken stupor on Bourbon Street for roughly 50 or so hours. But in between 3-for-1 beers and drinking shots out of the mouths of chubby waitresses, I remembered watching the USF-Pittsburgh game and wondering aloud, “Did that USF fan just pick his nose and eat it?” Because, you know, I’m fascinated by this sort of intellectual conversation.
