<li>Florida State (11-0) Beat Idaho 80-14. The Vandals are a great mascot, but the Visigoths would have been better. Also, the good team's QB might be going to jail.</li>
<li>Alabama (11-0) Beat Chattanooga 49-0. Oh Bumpers! People with toddlers should get that reference. </li>
<li>Wisconsin (<strike>10-1</strike> 9-2) Beat Minnesota 20-7. Seizure free.</li>
<li>Michigan State (10-1) Beat Northwestern 30-6. Northwestern is like Batman. Awesome at night, but during the day, they're just a wacko in pajamas wishing they were as cool as the Batkid.</li>
<li>Auburn (10-1) Did not play. Glad to see that someone is playing quality football in Alabama.</li>
<li>Missouri (10-1) Did not play and still beat Mississippi 24-10.</li>
<li>Oklahoma State (10-1) Defeated the unstoppable juggernaut that is Baylor 49-17.</li>

<li>Ohio State (10-0) Beat Illinois 60-35. I was going to drop them to 4th, and then I watched the late games.</li>
<li>Florida State (10-0) Whipped Syracuse 59-3. That sounds impressive until you realize that Syracuse only had 5 guys out there for their vaunted 2-3 zone. Also Miami lost. Again!</li>
<li>Alabama (9-0) Struggled against Mississippi State 20-7. That sound you hear is another Miss St dropped pass.
</li>
<li>Baylor (9-0) Beat Texas Tech 63-34. Next week they play DeVry.</li>
<li>Wisconsin (9<strike>-1</strike> 8-2) Beat Indiana 51-3. Sadly, it was not the Bo Ryan/Tom Crean duel to the death that we were all hoping for.</li>
<li>Michigan State (9-1) Beat Nebraska 41-28. A Jim Bollman offense hung up 41 points and they were not playing Kent State?</li>
<li>Auburn (10-1) Beat Georgia 43-38. Glad to see that someone is playing quality football in Alabama.</li>
<li>Missouri (9-1) Did not play.</li>
</ol>
<div>
In the land of also Ran, Clemson Beat Georgia Tech, who cares. Texas A&M went to an autograph show. South Carolina beat Florida 19-14 and it was Urban Meyer's fault. Oregon beat Utah 44-21. Stanford Lost to USC, but it doesn't count because they didn't play Stanford football this week.</div>

<li>Ohio State (9-0) Did not play, dramatically improving their strength of schedule.</li>
<li>Alabama (9-0) Beat LSU 38-17. Nothing like beating a bunch of ex-cons coached by a mental patient.</li>
<li>Florida State (9-0) Beat Not a-Wake Forest 59-3. Also, Miami lost to Va Tech invalidating all quality wins in the ACC.</li>
<li>Baylor (8-0) Beat Oklahoma! 41-12. Great to see those rival high school teams get together.</li>
<li>Stanford (8-1) Beat Oregon 26-20. Who says that you need a play book bigger than a post-it-note.</li>
<li>Wisconsin (<strike>8-1</strike> 7-2) Beat BYU 27-17. You can't bring a group of clean cut kids with an honor code to Madison Wisconsin and expect positive results.</li>
<li>Michigan State (8-1) Did not play, dramatically improving their strength of Schedule.</li>
<li>Missouri (9-1) Beat Kentucky 48-17. Allegedly</li>
<li>Clemson (8-1) Did not play. Isn't it great that we can go back to not giving two shits about Clemson?</li>

<li>Oregon (8-0) Did not play. OK</li>

<li>Florida State (8-0) Whipped up on the U 41-14.</li>
<li>Ohio State (9-0) Beat Purdue 56-0. I like a school whose nickname is a shot and a beer.</li>

10(a,b,c). Texas A&M beat UTEP 57-6 which is the equivalent of not playing, Stanford did not play. LSU did not play. <br />
<br />
Also: Kid N Play did not play. Marcy's Playground did not play. Aerosmith just pushed play. Thankfully, no white boys played funky music. The Offspring came out an played. We couldn't find Coldplay. </div>

This is a whole different beast from the 17 and 18. Jefferson's whiskey is all sourced. This one is sourced from a rye influenced mash bill instead of wheat.

This product was received for review. My favorite thing to read on a label is For Research Only.<br />
<br />
Stretching my wings a bit here for a spiced rum review. Fortunately, I have a Manhattan mixed up to cleanse my palate.<br />
<br />
Compared to the regular Morgan, this Rum is both more and less. It is more, because it does taste better neat. The sherry finish is quite nice and I enjoy sipping it. It is less because I have to wonder why anyone would bother to finish a SPICED rum since it mutes the spices. If you like this sort of thing, and are curious. Go for it. It's only $20 and you are going to mix it with coke anyway.</div>

<br />
In an age of too much imperial everything in craft beers, I think it best to say what this beer is not.<br />
<br />
It is not too bitter.<br />
It is not too smoky.<br />
It is not too high in alcohol. (a relatively modest 6.9% abv)<br />
It doesn't taste like bourbon.<br />
<br />
For me, the first three are a good thing. The fourth is an issue. This stout has been aged in Wild Turkey barrels for 3 months and if it didn't say so on the label, you would never know. Disappointing.<br />
<br />
That doesn't mean that it tastes bad. I enjoyed it, it just wasn't special. </div>

Knappogue is well known among the so called whiskey intelligentsia. Which is a euphemism for wino. The 14 "twin wood" just showed up at my local shop. The 12 retails in the $40 range, the 14 is around $60.<br />
<br />
Knappogue 12: Viscous, and everyone on the internets states that it has vanilla and toasted marshmallow. I don't disagree. Thank you bourbon barrels.<br />
<br />
Grade: B+<br />
<br />
Knappogue 14: This blends whiskey aged in bourbon barrels with whiskey aged in sherry casks. It is also 92 proof as opposed to the 12, which is 80 proof. Tasting it neat, it is good, but the wood dominates. A little water opens it up revealing apple, pear and citrus notes. Grade: B++<br />
<br />
My cousin David (wife's dad's mom's sister's son) introduced me to Knappogue. Needless to say, I had to buy two bottles of the 14.</div>

There are not many things that I blog about more infrequently than vodka. This is my third and by far my favorite vodka review because I didn't pay for it. I did have to drive out to the Fed Ex facility by the airport Saturday morning to pick it up. It was fun making the GPS re-calibrate. Head east on Weber, no. Head east on Hudson, hell no.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Good news Columbus Business Travelers, I drove past a place named Centerfold's and they have a free shuttle service. So we have that going for us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div>
Here's the review. It is vodka, so it tastes like alcohol, which I assume is the goal. I actually think that it tastes a little sweet. The great thing that it has going for it is the finish. There isn't one. I'm doing a side by side with another vodka, rhyme's with Tito's handmade vodka. Definitely cleaner. The internet tells me that it retails in the $20-25 range, which is a good thing. Only a dumb ass would drop big money on vodka.</div>

<br />
This is an older version of the standard Bulleit, which the internet tells me is aged for 4-6 years and is actually made by Four Roses. The standard Bulleit is one of my favorite $20ish bourbons. It has a high rye mash bill, which gives it some bite. Side by side, the standard is quite tame. The 10 year has it's bite in the fore, with a really pleasant finish. The standard is sort of the opposite. Nice sweet flavor at first with a kick in the teeth finish. The 10 year retails for around $45.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Is it better? Yes. I like it a lot.</li>
<li>It costs twice as much, is it twice as good? No, but it is in the ballpark.</li>
<li>Is it worth $45? The times they are a changing. I've paid more for much worse, and the craft distillery revolution has certainly muddled things when it comes to determining what something should cost. I am officially waffling on this question. I didn't pay for it.</li>
</ul>

<b>Web site hype: </b> <i>I hope you enjoy my very special whisky,</i><br />
<i>which took me many years to perfect.</i><br />
<i>BASTILLE is hand-crafted in the South-West of France, </i><br />
<i>the region where I was born and live.</i><br />
<i>I use a combination of traditional and cutting edge techniques</i><br />
<i>to bring out the natural characteristics of the different varieties</i><br />
<i>of wood cask, water and "terroir".</i><br />
<i>Here are a few highlights of my unique method</i><br />
<i>for hand-crafting whisky</i><br />
<i>(leaving out some of the secrets)</i><br />
<i>After the initial maturation, BASTILLE is finished </i><br />
<i>in different styles of wooden cask which provide my whisky </i><br />
<i>its delicate, harmonious and unique flavors.</i><br />
<i>BASTILLE uses pure Gensac spring water, filtered naturally</i><br />
<i>for centuries through Grande Champagne limestone.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Wow, that's a lot of hype: </b>I do have to say that at first taste, I came away very impressed. It has a lot of dried fruit and I know that cherry and Limousin oak are two of the woods used for aging. They both come across in the finish.<br />
<br />
Sadly, familiarity breeds contempt. After a few sips, it becomes sickeningly sweet; the wood finish just becomes an aftertaste that won't go away. For $30, I still recommend it. It is different, which you don't see much of these days.</div>

It is pretty good, but a tad too sweet. It is sourced from LDI for those who care. I liked it when I first tasted it and my opinion has gone downhill since and I won't be buying it again. It costs around $30 and I'm too tired to say much else about it. </div>

<ol>
<li>Ohio State (12-0) Defeated Michigan Our Bitch'again (26-21) I'll tell you everything that you need to know about the Big 10(12(14)) Title Game. OSU Over Nebraska 63-38. OSU Over Wisconsin 21-14.</li>
<li>Our Lady de Gonna be Rusty in January (12-0) defeated USC 22-13. The ratings are in, and everybody watched it, except me.</li>
<li>Alabama (11-1) Defeated Auburn 49-0. After the close call with Cam Newton, Auburn has been shopping at the bargain bin.</li>
<li>Georgia (11-1) Defeated Georgia Tech 41-10. The Dusty Rhodes vs. Harley Race of football.</li>
<li>Oregon (11-1) Defeated Oregon 48-14. For those who didn't know, the Oregon civil war was started when someone puffed puffed, and didn't pass.</li>
<li>Kansas State (10-1) Did not play. They prefer to spend Thanksgiving weekend in Oz.</li>
<li>Florida (11-1) defeated Florida State 27-26. Once again Del Boca Vista Phase II beats Del Boca Vista Phase I.</li>
<li>Texas A&M (10-2) Did not play. By did not play, I mean that they defeated Missouri 59-29. Not only does Johnny Fever have the Heisman trophy locked up, he has earned his PhD in his freshman year.</li>
<li>LSU (10-2) Defeated Arkansas 20-13. And Les Miles gets a raise again. For somebody that everyone thinks is an idiot, he sure does rake in the cash.</li>
<li>Kent State (10-1) Defeated Ohio 28-6. Enjoy your head coach, because he'll be packing his bags for greener pastures come January.</li>

<ol>
<li>Ohio State (11-0) Defeated Wisconsin 21-14. The Buckeyes delivered another clinic on how to win when you get totally outplayed.</li>
<li>Our Lady de Don't Choke and You Are In (11-0) defeated Wake Forest 38-0. An exciting preview of future Notre Dame vs ACC action. Chip Kelly will have them ready to play against USC.</li>
<li>Alabama (10-1) Defeated Western Carolina 49-0. Hey dumb-asses There is a North Carolina, and there is a South Carolina.</li>
<li>Georgia (10-1) Defeated Georgia Southern 45-14. I have to do more research, but I think that the Republic of Georgia Southern used to be part of the Soviet Union. We may have an Air Force base there.</li>
<li>Oregon (10-1) Lost To Stanford 17-14. Way to prepare for a rainy night Brian Kelly, because it never rains in the Pacific Northwest. I also think that Andrew Luck kid is going to be good.</li>
<li>Kansas State (10-1) Lost to Baylor 52-24. That RG III kid is going to go places.</li>
<li>Florida (10-1) Jacksonville State 23-0. And people wonder why the Jaguars can't sell out on Sundays.</li>
<li>Florida State (10-1) Defeated Maryland 41-14. The Big 10's (14!?) reputation takes another hit.</li>
<li>Texas A&M (9-2) Defeated Sam Houston State 47-28. You want to leave the Big 12(10) for the SEC, then fine. But to attack a great man like Sam Houston because he wouldn't let Texas join the Confederacy; that's just wrong. </li>
<li>Kent State (9-1) Defeated Bowling Green 31-24. The Golden Flashes converted a 7-10 split for the victory.</li>

<li>Oregon (10-0) Defeated Cal 59-17. The Pac-12 needs to consider a mercy rule.</li>
<li>Kansas State (10-0) Defeated TCU 23-10. While it was not his greatest game, we need to stop pretending that anyone other than Calvin Klein is going to win the Heismen this year.</li>
<li>Ohio State (10-0) Did not play and moved up. How Tressellian of you Urban.</li>
<li>Our Lady de Ho-Hum (10-0) defeated Boston College 21-6. Ho-Hum.</li>
<li>Alabama (9-1) Lost to Texas A&M. The SEC is still tops, but the gap is closing rapidly.</li>
<li>Georgia (9-1) Defeated Auburn 38-0. That's it? Poor showing by Georgia.</li>
<li>Florida (9-1) Defeated La Lafayette 27-20. Really?</li>
<li>Florida State (9-1) Defeated Va Tech 28-22. The weekly prize for further exposing the Va Tech sham goes to the Seminoles.</li>
<li>Texas A&M Defeated Alabama 29-27. Johnny Football is a hell of a player. Throws the most accurate wounded duck in the nation.</li>
<li>Kent State (9-1) Defeated Miami 48-32. Why not?</li>
</ol>
<div>
Having said all that. Don't be shocked if Alabama sneaks back into the title game.</div>
