We’re running a bit behind this morning. There was a Charmed marathon on cable last night and man did we get sucked in. Just kidding. We watched the Gators win the championship just like everyone else, hence the photo of our girl on the side in UF apparel. More on that later.

Trust us on this one: Never photograph a kangaroo without his permission (via Funny Junk).

Did ESPN’s basketball announcer switcharoo blow anyone else’s fucking mind last night? Van Gundy talking college basketball? Wha-wha?

Maybe FOX will follow suit and bring the Gameday guys in for tonight’s coverage. Then we wouldn’t have to watch the national championship game on mute with The Best of Chumbawumba on in the background. Take Florida giving the points by the way.

So Ohio State lost a BCS game. Sounds familiar. Kudos to the Buckeyes for not rolling over though. College football is about moral victories anyway. And free athletic gear.

Besides, we all know what we were really supposed to take away from last night’s game. Yep, that each and every one of us would obliterate Colt McCoy’s girlfriend if given the opportunity (more pics over at BC). Man, that goofy bastard sure does have a lot going for him.

It’s 2009 and we’ve yet to see a flying car. But outside of that disappointment we’re pretty excited. We spent most of 2008 figuring out what we want NextRound to be and going forward we’re just going to concentrate on being awesome (and maybe making some money).

That means more dick jokes, more photo essays, more nut shots, more baseless celebrity bashing, more drunk athletes, and coming up with even more creative ways to incorporate “Poundtown” into just about every post. We hope you’re up for it. (Picture via Yep Yep.)
