Thirsty Thursday Week 1

(Pumpin’ for Thursday has been replaced this year by “Thirsty Thursday”. The best drinking times most people had in college took place on Thursday, the night before the day only freshman and MBA students scheduled classes. While it’s not the best chance for a “social encounter” the stay at home drinking game is always an economical way to get plastered and if there’s college football on what better setting for a drinking game. Mr. Prime Rib of Pageantry will help you each week by setting some rules for your “Thirsty Thursday” drinking game)


NC State at South Carolina (-11.5), Over/Under (47.5)





Take a sip…

Every time you hear the words “Ole Ball Coach”.

Every time you hear the words “Tom O’Brien” and “rebuilding job” in the same sentence.

Every time a school besides NC State or South Carolina is mentioned



Take two sips…

Whenever Chris Folwer stops rambling about the other 117 teams in Division I and starts calling the game again.

Every time you hear the words “Boston College”.



Chug if…

If the “Gamecocks” are ever referred to as “undersized” (after giggling of course)

If you flip over to Barack Obama’s speech and he doesn’t say “Hope”, “Change”, or “tax breaks for the rich” before you have to flip back.



Do a Keg Stand if…

If someone mentions that the football scenes for “The Program” was filmed at Williams-Brice Stadium

If Steve Spurrier does that thing with his lips that he used to do when he coached the Redskins.




Buy a Round if…

NC State covers the 11.5 and the Under. Wait until South Carolina’s offense covers an 11.5 point spread before putting money on it.

Pumpin' for Thursday: Week 6

Kentucky at South Carolina (-3.5), Over/Under 57.5

Vegas Algebra says: South Carolina 30.5, Kentucky 27

Thoughts: By far the most intriguing Thursday game so far. South Carolina and Kentucky are both atop the SEC East and both have one impressive win (Georgia and Louisville respectively). Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson is getting Heisman consideration but Steve Spurrier is 14-0 against Kentucky.

Suggestions: For the past five weeks this site has been crunching numbers and paying attention to facts like Spurrier's record against Kentucky and South Carolina's Top 25 Defense. And PFT is slipping, therefore I am gonna pick this game solely on feel. Kentucky FEELS like a team of destiny and its rare you get a chance to pick a Top Ten team AND get 3.5 points. It's Thursday and Steve Spurrier's involved so the OVER sounds like a good bet here too.
