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.

But you bet your ass my eyes weren’t lying, and thanks to my good buddy Vic we have some footage of our latest booger-eating culprit. While the Bulls lost to Pitt 17-10, this lucky fan will live on infamy with some of the greatest booger eaters in sports history. So join us, won’t you, for this journey through the With Leather Booger Eater Hall of Fame (and feel free to remind me of any glaring omissions)…

On Friday, men’s college basketball programs across the nation celebrated the first practices of the 2010-11 season with their respective Midnight Madness events, and none of them matter because Pepperdine University is the toast of the town. Junior guard Keion Bell became an Internet sensation last year when a PU (tee hee!) student captured footage of his astonishing dunk over five people at the 2009 Blue & Orange Madness. But this year he wasn’t going to jump just five, he wasn’t going to even jump six. No way, broseph. Keion was jumping seven people. Sure, they were kids. But after he braised their heads with his jock, they were adults.

Life-altering video of a man, a ball and a dream after the jump.

You probably already saw this on Hot Clicks earlier today; it’s Pepperdine’s Keion Bell dunking over five of his teammates in one of those midnight madness practices, even though it doesn’t have Michael J. Fox or that chubby kid from Animal House in it. But watch what he does afterward. It’s ME ME ME. He doesn’t celebrate with any of his teammates (save for a shoulder bump), and they don’t expect anything from him, either. And then he hugs the mascot, Willy the Wave, which doesn’t make any damn sense at all. He’s not even a real wave, Keion. Who has a body of water for a mascot, anyway? No, the Lakers don’t count. There are no lakes in LA. Just piles and piles of coke. They hand that stuff out with your phones books and voter registration card.

Pepperdine basketball coach Vance Walberg has resigned, citing personal and family reasons for his departure.  Not a terribly exciting story until you factor in the controversy he'd faced since last season.

[Athletic Director John] Watson said Walberg had made "mistakes in judgment" that included derogatory remarks toward players and last season made a player suck his thumb during practice for acting like "a baby."

Well, yeah, what did you expect?  You hire a guy named "Vance" and he's going to use derogatory remarks and treat his subordinates like shit.  That's what guys named Vance do.  It goes so well with their pastel polo shirts with the popped collars while they lounge on the deck of their yacht, demanding another martini from Ector, that damn lazy Mexican.  Why, they have half a mind to deport his ass if he doesn't hurry up.
