In case no one knew already, Akbar rescinded his commitment.That link is a quick post on Ohio.com's Varsity Letters. Dayton Daily News has the full story.

Thanks for posting this. I canceled my pre-order!

He gets feisty when the enchiladas take too long.

We're having some server issues today. No more, no less.

Why do you guys think I work for the online part?

Man, you guys are quick with your never-ending hatred. Here's some inside baseball on that. On Ohio.com, we like to push a story or two over at noon if there's not a lot of breaking news. The stories we usually push over are for the next day's paper. That was the case here and I wasn't online to immediately fix it before someone caught it. No more, not less. Don't worry Zipsnationistas, we're not trying to screw you up.

Aww, thanks guys. But to answer your question, I avoided the pickle juice.Wait...

I put that up there because I trust Rasor when he says he has multiple sources, so I don't consider him "any yahoo." We often put up blog links in that spot when it makes sense to do so.

I'll take "Swingin'" Dick Stanzi of Iowa for the win.

Thanks for that!Fun stuff, though. Maybe we'll do some more, maybe not. It all depends on traffic.

That is correct.We're up to 20! Thanks for joining people!

Last call, folks!

There are only a couple days left to sign up, but the number who has is too low! Come on, don't you want to say you're better than Mike Rasor at something? And at least with this, you'll have official numbers to back you up.

"What time Danny K?!" Time to lose to me in Yahoo college football pick'em again!Last season, I bested 30 of you and look forward to doing it again.You know the drill, one team per person and you have to make your picks 5 minutes before the first game of each week (I'm pretty sure they don't do Thursday or Friday games). Please don't join if you're going to flake the first few weeks of the season and please don't whine about it when you forget to put your picks in (Rasor). The league ID # is 7144The league password is kentsucks (that's k.entsucks without the period)Good luck and, of course, go Zips!

I'm pretty geeked for this. When I loaded the demo last week, there was a video of Reggie Corner (I think) intercepting a Julianna Edelman pass and returning it for a touchdown. It was pretty great. Even the Rubber Bowl looked good!The gameplay seems a little better this year and there are a lot of new tackling animations, which is good.If anyone has a 360, my online tag is smooth danny k. Bring it, or something!
