Well, not quite yet. But if we know one thing, it’s that men with mustaches wield a whole lot of power, and a recent poll of the American Mustache Institute, 80% of its members declared they’d prefer the Super Bowl be moved to a Saturday, claiming that it would increase the economic gain for grocery stores, restaurants and bars, and TV networks.

Now, we’re not sure how we feel about destroying the tradition of Super Bowl Sunday, but we’ve got to admit they make some valid points. How many times have you had to drag yourself, or be dragged, into the office Monday morning cause you partied too hard with all your buddies for the Super Bowl?

Check out the full story at Asylum, including a link to sign the petition to move the Super Bowl to Saturday!

Do you have adult onset ADHD? Does sitting for extended periods of time make you nervous and uncomfortable, even if football is on TV?

This video is probably the most hilarious thing that will happen to the Super Bowl this year, unless by some miracle Drew Brees and Peyton Manning bust out a choreographed rendition of Pants on the Ground in the middle of the Sun Life Stadium. Enjoy.

Remember a few days ago, when we posted rules for throwing a great Super Bowl? And how one of them was “Nix the Decorations?” Well, we’re gonna have to go ahead and add a footnote: if you have the incredible skills of the team at Break Media- keep the decorations. Below you see the most awesome Snack Stadium of all time. Every bit of the stadium is edible, from the massive chocolate cake field to the Twinkie-cars in the parking lot, to the strategically divided chip variations in the stands. At 4 feet by 7 feet, the sheer size of this appetizer building is awe-inspiring. To the culinary and architectural geniuses at Break, we salute you!

Everyone is talking about the pro-life commercial starring Tim Tebow that CBS has agreed to air during the Super Bowl. Paid for by Focus on the Family, the commercial stars Heisman winner and Bible-passage-sporting Tim Tebow and his mother, discussing how Tim was nearly aborted. Want to know what CBS says they will not air? This 30 second commercial for gay dating site, Mancrush. Very interesting…

If you can’t tell by the second Football-themed post in three days, we at BCU are getting geared up for the most important day of the year: the Super Bowl. We’re just as disappointed as anyone that the Chargers’ penalty-flagged their way out of the game, but come on, guys! Football, beer, and hilarious commercials about beer? We’ll take it. So in the spirit of football and our love of booty, we bring you our top 5 hottest NFL cheer squads, courtesy of Coed magazine.

5. The Carolina Panthers

Two Panther cheerleaders were once kicked out of a club for getting caught having sex in a bathroom. Let that sink in for a moment.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Back before those sexy, pirate themed outfits were created, the Tampa cheerleaders danced around in an outfit that’s color was reminiscent of a regurgitated creamsicle. Luckily, someone came around and demanded a change, and now the Tampa cheerleaders rock the hottest costumes ever made.

3. Denver Broncos

The poor folks of Denver. Having to deal with high crime-rates, miserable air pressure, and a depressing end of the season. Worst of all is the fact that due to the freezing temperatures, Denver fans rarely get to see these bombshell beauties in anything less than a curve-hugging tracksuit. WHAT A WASTE!

2. San Diego Chargers

Ah yes, BCU’s home team. Beyond the great nightlife, perfect weather, and miles of beaches, here is another reason to move to San Diego. We get to watch those ladies dance almost every Sunday wearing next to nothing. Beat that, Jets, you jerks.

1. Dallas Cowboys

Don’t judge us for picking the obvious! How can you say no to a dance team in booty shorts and cowboy boots?! There is a reason they made a show about the try-outs for the Cowboy cheerleaders. They are absolutely, 100%, no-questions-asked, the hottest cheer squad in America. It’s a fact.

The Super Bowl is two weeks away. It’s time to start figuring out how you’re gonna spend it. Will you go to a bar? Will you go to a friend’s house? Or will you, against better judgment, throw a party yourself? If you do, there are some ways to make it awesome while also making it less of a headache.

1. Do NOT try and be fancy.

This is a football party, not a gala. Stow the fancy cocktails and gourmet dishes for another time because not only will it get expensive, but your friends will look down upon you in shame. There should be three essential factors for Super Bowl consumption: fatty, spicy, and alcoholic. Chips, dips, pizza, wings, hot dogs, and chili should be the main dishes for this event. Not only will these foods be delicious, but they’re cheap, and they’ll soak up the massive quantity of booze you’ll consume. Which brings us to beer:

2. There is no shame in BYOB.

Mind you, there should be some beer in your fridge, lest you be considered a pansy. However, if you are providing a plethora of greasy dishes, your friends can man up and bring a case of beer! Bust out your biggest cooler and fill it with ice, and as people come, have them dump their beer in, like a communal pool of drunkenness. That way you don’t have to deal with the embarrassing end-of-the-night money collection. While we’re talking about it- stick to beer. Not only will you be glad that no one is black-out drunk before half-time, but clean up will be a whole lot easier.

3. Chairs, for god’s sake! Chairs!

Are you one of those people who has one armchair in their living room and literally no other sitting surfaces? Then do NOT throw a party. We are not in kindergarten, this is not story time, people should not be forced to sit on the floor. In a dire situation, beach/lawn chairs will do. Expect to be ridiculed.

4. Nix the decorations

Assuming your team is not playing (and I will assume that, because the Chargers aren’t), there is no need for streamers or football-shaped lanterns or a multi colored “Happy Super Bowl!” sign on your door. Exception: football shaped bowls (see above photo). On the other hand, if your team is playing, feel free to get 5th grade birthday party all over that living room.

5. Be aware of your guests

And no, I don’t mean that like, “be a gracious host, blah blah blah,” I mean that like, do NOT invite some annoying person who doesn’t care about the game, talks during the commercials  (they’re the best of the year!), or walks in front of the TV during key plays. This person (and I can say this as a woman)  is usually a chick. People will be SUPER pissed if you invite her. So unless you’re trying to sleep with her, just say NO.

This is the headline on the donation page for Amy Borkowsky, AKA “The Super Bowl Single Girl.”  The New York single wins an award for most daring attempt at finding a date: Though the Super Bowl has come and gone for this year, Amy spent all of 2008 trying to get sponsors to help pay for a Personal Ad commercial to air during halftime.

She was only able to raise a little over six grand, all of which she donated to the United Way. Nice try, Amy, but why don’t you save yourself the hassle and get yourself an OnlineBootyCall instead?
