In case you weren't aware, FTRS is having our annual tournament pick 'em, and we'd love it if you joined. Our group ID is 75689, the password is "thwg." You can win money, or Chas and I's infinite respect for making Joey look silly.

Look at Joshua Nesbitt. Look at him. You know how much money he's going to save Marvel studios on CG for the next "Avengers" movie? All they have to do is paint him green and they've got their Hulk scenes.

A smart reader over at ESPN's ACC blog had a good question: who wins in the Aaron Murray-Tahj Boyd matchup? The numbers say good things about Tech's biggest rivals' head to head matchup.
