...makes me wanna puke.

That's not even the best quote from college football this year though. That honor (along with my choice for quote of the year) goes to Dan Hawkins, Colorado head coach.

I knda feel bad for her. I mean, you know that her dad or mom just drilled the "such as" into her head as a replacement for "like". Unfortunately, the pressure of the pagent like, such as, made her forget.
