Humpday Quickies

An extra-special Humpday this week, as I sit in my office awaiting a potential phone call from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire as I am the Phone A Friend for one of my colleagues. Should Meredith Viera ask him about Ball State football I think we're covered. At any rate, here's what's happening across the interwebs for your reading pleasure on this humpiest of days...

Ball State Quickies:

• Dante Love might be leaving the rehabilitation center later this week. Phenomenal news, and a great bullet point to start this list. Get well soon, Eight-Six.
  
• Dennis Dodd from CBS Sports has a great write up on these Cardinals. Check it out if you do nothing else today.
  
• A writer from the Mt. Pleasant Morning Sun (the paper serving the area around Central Michigan) writes that he isn't quite ready to crown the Cardinals the best of the MAC. Oh really? Jealousy is a stinky cologne.
  
• The Cards are getting love from Fox Sports, and not just from Jason Whitlock. MiQuale Lewis gets a shout out on this week's Hot or Not.
• Pat Forde, whom I remember as the smarmy columnist for the Louisville Courier Journal, shouts out some BSU love in his Forde Yard Dash column this week. Highlight: Apparently, the WorldWideLeader is not the WorldWideFactCheckers because BSU's record is incorrect.
• Graham Watson, ESPN's coverer of all things mid-major and non-BCS, gives her Power Rankings and ranks the Cards 4th.

Kentucky Quickies:

• Rick Bozich was surprisingly not condescending and inflammatory in his remarks following the Alabama game. Kudos, good sir.
• KSR reports that Steve Spurrier in his weekly presser actually complimented the Cats, calling them an SEC-caliber defense. Surprising for a number of reasons since Steve always liked to dig the knife in Kentucky fans a little deeper than before.
• The Arkansas game has been confirmed for a 7pm start time. Also, injuries galore, but most are looking ok to good.
• More pub about the Carolina game, hoping this is the year that the 8 in a row streak gets snapped.
  

Everyone Else:

• When you're a Tennessee blog that starts to support Vandy instead, times are tough indeed.
• Don't Ask Don't Tell brings us evidence that even Buckeyes get the squirts.
• The Wiz of Odds brings us evidence that maybe Hate Week in Oklahoma and Texas should really be renamed.
• Following his team's loss at Notre Dame, a game in which he was quite displeased at the officiating, HouseRockBuilt brings us this letter to Pac10 officials from Jim Harbaugh.
• Brian at MGoBlog has big things happening with the BlogPoll.
