Dink & Dunk: Football Dearth Continues


Wink Dinkins and Bud Dunkowitz continue the agonizing crawl toward bowl season.


The Great Countdown
Fifteen days until meaningful college football resumes. For the time being, we'll be drinking heavily, catching up on some of the goofy midweek bowls, and partying with the '72 Dolphins. Hopefully not aboard a cruise ship on Lake Minnetonka.

Yeah, that's right. We have an Adorable Kittens calendar. You want to fight about it, tough guy? Didn't think so.


Write-ins
Well, this year's Heisman trophy was a laugher. Reggie Bush ran away with show (and rightfully so), taking the hardware by the largest margin in the history of the trophy. The contest was so uncompetitive that several Associated Press members didn't take it very seriously. Take a gander at the voting results:

Oh, and it appears that Urban Meyer is a loyal HRB reader, or at least he is a devout follower of the sage advice of Anagramaticus.

Well, that's all she wrote. Next week, we'll have some football to talk about!
