In the name of pioneering pickstars everywhere, we're taking last
week's tack even further around the bend and consulting the stars for
the outcomes of this week's games, courtesy of Digital Isis.
We're starting at the top, plugging the birth dates of the twenty-six
head coaches in contest this weekend, and interpreting the results for

Let's get this out of the way: Our feelings on the summarily altered titles of classic rivalry games are well-documented in this space,

Guess what they call it now? The Florida-Georgia Game. Or the
Georgia-Florida Game. Sirs, you're not even trying. And we're not

without end, amen.

For football fans, the shimmering turf, catching the subtle twitch of a lineman's leg, and knowing before the replay airs if the receiver was still inbounds shines brighter than any diamond ring.
If you live in the Bay Area and have ever wanted to jump around inside a giant, hot, sweaty mascot costume... the Oakland Athletics have the gig for you!
