There's a less than stellar lineup of games this weekend on the college side and only few good games on the pro side. Thus we begin a new weekly feature called "What to Eat/Drink/Do This Weekend" wherein someone on the staff will tell you what to eat, drink and do. Hopefully, you picked up on the subtlety.
WHAT TO EAT:
The Bacon Explosion!
Behold! The Bacon Explosion in all of its fattening and amazing glory!What is the bacon explosion you ask? According to BBQaddicts.com, it is "America's Hottest Barbecue Recipe" and it can be order from their site! Read here for the specific info as well as some breathtaking pictures. Here is a quick rundown of the operation: 2 pounds of thick cut bacon, 2 pounds of Italian sausage, 1 jar of your favorite BBQ sauce and 1 jar of your favorite BBQ rub. They weave, yes like the artform, a net of bacon 5 pieces by 5 pieces. Then add the BBQ rub. Then they spread out the raw sausage over the netting and then take the remaining bacon and cook it (either soft like at Denny's or crispy like at IHOP... it's to your liking) and sprinkle that over the sausage layer. They then add their favorite BBQ sauce and then ROLL THE THING UP!
Then they add rub, grill it, add BBQ sauce and eat it. It is massive as you may imagine. From their site, you can buy it. 1/2 of one runs you 18 bucks, 30 for a whole. They cut you a deal when buying multiple ones. If you are lucky enough to live in Kansas City, you can buy it at the KC BBQ Store.
I highly recommend this to anyone who either loves bacon, loves live yet doesn't fear death. A sextuple bypass is required for multiple time users. Other than going out in an avalanche of supermodels, I can't think of a better way to go out.
WHAT TO DRINK:
LABATT BLUE!
I don't know your take on Canadians. Yes, I know. They are hard to trust what with them being socialists and all. Plus they like "a hockey" and they use something called "kilograms" to measure the speed of their horseless carriages or whatever they call cars. However you feel about them, you can't get around this. Canadians know beer. Yes, Americans drink beer, but Canadians can make it. It's not like there are any "American" mass produced beers out there except Yuengling (candidate for future WHAT TO DRINK!), so you may as well buy beer from the continent that doesn't require a lime, mariachi band or beach filled with pretentious morons to be enjoyed.
You can find Labatt Blue in any legit supermarket and yes, it is slightly more expensive, but Christ it tastes good. In Michigan, it is cheaper than most regular mass produced beer. We will get to microbrews later, but right now this beer needs its spotlight.
Hmmm... Coors light (water) or Miller High Life (Bat urine)? How about Labatt Blue? A cold Labatt and a Bacon Explosion will make you love life regardless of how bad it is.
WHAT TO DO:
On Saturday, watch gameday. Duh.
Noon
You have either regional action on your local channels or the Big Ten invasion of ESPN/ESPN2 or South Florida-Florida State. Our money is on the MSU-WisCANsin game, not only because of television rights with the future Mrs. Quicksilver, but also because we don't want to listen to the announcer slob over Michigan and to hear about how "OMG THEY R SAVED!!!!1" when they demolish Indiana. We also don't want to see FSU complete the inconsistency circle by showing up during the second half in full jousting gear.
3:30
ABC has some solid regional action, particular on both seaboards and the south. However the heartland will get tortured by watching Ohio State and Illinois play in a predictably terrible game which will be both boring and over by the end of the first quarter. CBS has Alabama and Arkansas. The vote is for 'Bama-Arky but only because we need to find out if the Arkansas offense is a myth or true.
Night
Florida at Kentucky should be fun. Especially if UF actively tries to give the Wildcats swine flu by catapulting reserve tight ends on to their sidelines. ABC has Iowa-Penn State, which many seem to think will be good. Joe Paterno is disgusted that it's a night game because he wanted to be in bed by 9 to watch Matlock reruns on his local CW affiliate. Also there is notre dame-Purdue and TTech-Houston. TTech-Houston gets the nod, but because we will see more than 100 total pass attempts.
Sunday:
Though it may not matter thanks to the rigid blackout policy and retardity of the NFL Sunday Ticket exclusivity agreement thus forcing you to watch what they give you, we do recommend Atlanta @ New England (FOX) and Tennessee @ the Jets (CBS) for the early games. Follow this with Miami @ San Diego late (CBS) and then the Indy-Arizona game at night and you, friend, will have had a great weekend.
Especially if you get a Bacon Explosion and a 24 pack of Labatt.
Enjoy friends, we'll catch you on Monday.
