Bill Gambini and Stanley Rothenstein are 2 friends from New York University that just received scholarships to UCLA. They decide to drive through the south. Once they arrive in Alabama, they stopped at a local convenience store to pick up a few snacks.

Vinny Gambini: It is possible that the two yutes...
Judge Chamberlain Haller: ...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?
Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what?
Vinny Gambini: What?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'?
Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two yutes.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a yute?

Vinny Gambini: Oh, excuse me, your honor...

Vinny Gambini: Two YOUTHS.

1. Talk about a "once in a lifetime" opportunity bridge-gapping.

BCS Football and a movie with a very questionable Oscar winner. Classic.

4. .

Sometimes the brass ring is right there :-)

I was surprised that I hadn't heard that joke on ESPN but then Utah (and the actual Ute people) may be sensative about that

[gratuitous]

2. O-ver-ray-ted

14-0 and we're not even halfway through the first quarter. And Alabama had designs on being in the BCS championship game. Maybe that game should have featured Utah and USC? But then we wouldn't have had another insufferable Big 12/SEC snorefest between overrated eastern media darlings.

3. Not an excuse but I don't think we can overlook the fact....

that Alabama really doesn't want to be there (and dealing with their first loss of the season)
and Utah has something to prove-being there is a coronation for their team, program, and the entire non-BCS conferences/divsions

5. Alabama's looking overmatched, outmanned and outhustled

I thought they took football seriously in the Heart of Dixie.

Oops, there's another touchdown for Utah. 4:01 to go in the first quarter, and it's 21-0.

7. It don't look good for the Tide tonight.

I was hoping for a good game tonight.

6. Keep an eye out for Ava...

She's there somewhere, although prolly not very happy at the moment...21-0 wow....

[gratuitous]

8. Alabama's settled down in the second quarter

The Fox dimwits are giving Barry Switzer some well-deserved static for saying that Utah couldn't hang with a quality SEC football program like Alabama. Come on guys, there are some pretty good teams on the other side of Rockies. Stay up a little later on Saturday night and learn about the entire nation if you're going to select a national champion.

Full disclosure: I picked Alabama to win this game in the pool I'm in. So this could cost me money.
