Tony Gerdeman's The Week that Was recapping this week's college football news is now online. Before you go read it however, we urge you to not have any coffee, cola, water, or any other beverage in your mouth when you encounter the word "barbonauting". To do so could expose you to risk of damage to your nostrils, computer display, and overall level of esteem from those who may be near you or in the room.
That having been said, check out The Week that Was (at your own risk) on Columns and Features.
