  1. Just to be clear, the game did actually get its name from the juice flavor... "The word Pog originates from a schoolyard game labeled “Milk Caps,” played with flat circular cardboard tops. Players make a stack of these caps, and take turns to drop a heavier “slammer” object onto it, causing the caps to scatter. Each player keeps any face-up caps and re-stacks the face-down ones, repeating the process until none land face-down, at which point the player who collected the most caps wins the game. The game was soon trademarked as Poggers, under which it was sold commercially in the 1990s. The name originates from Pog, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange, and guava; the use of the juice’s caps to play the game preceded the game’s commercialization."

  3. Uh, it's spelled C-L-I-F-F...from the Old English word clif of essentially the same meaning, cognate with Dutch, Low German, and Old Norse klif. These may in turn all be from a Romance loanword into Primitive Germanic that has its origins in the Latin forms clivus and clevus meaning "slope" or "hillside".
  4. Originally, UT was referred to as "Varsity," while A&M was referred to as "College."

  7. I assume it's in reference to Sark not having his scheduled post-practice press conference.
  8. Well, it's good to know Georgia is going to be terrible this season.
  9. The Judy's used the apostrophe in homage of The B-52's use of the apostrophe in their name. Why The B-52's originally used an apostrophe is unknown, but they did remove it in 2008...probably because of a sternly worded email from TrashMaster G.
  10. Make it a PSA reminder for others: @DontDrinkAndPost
