KABOOM! WHEELS OF THE DAY (8/23/12): MCLAREN X-1 CONCEPT
Created by McLaren Special Operations for an anonymous client — one who already owned a a McLaren F1, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and a 12C. The X-1 is structurally based on a carbon MonoCell but features a totally unique body that recalls the classic, swooping lines of cars gone by. Otherwise, it’s much like the 12C, right down to the twin-turbo 625PS engine which gives it “astonishing” acceleration and top speed.

Class is now in session and Kaboom! is the teacher ready to give you the study guide to a great 2012 season. Let’s get started shall we…..
Hey! Don’t forget about us:
Teams that people may not be talking about now, but they have the experience, star power, and determination to get to the BCS National Championship Game.
Oregon: Oregon still might be college football most dangerous team. The machine won’t stop just because QB Darron Thomas and RB LaMichael James are gone with more speed to burn in the offensive backfield and the Chip Kelly offense certain to be as strong as ever. The defense will be good enough to get by with Michael Clay one of the Pac-12 best linebackers and John Boyett at safety. The Ducks might have alittle bit of trouble against the SEC’s Arkansas week 1, but after that their schedule will be a walk in the park until November when they face USC. The offense will not lose a step and will blow most teams out of the stadium by halftime, but can the defense bend and not break against teams that can keep up with Oregon in late game situations?
Arkansas: The talent level might be in place to come up with a big year, but does new coach John L. Smith have what it takes to win in the brutal SEC? QB Tyler Wilson is poised and ready to become a first-round NFL draft pick, and even with some turnover he’ll have a good receiving corps to work with. Knile Davis will be healthy and ready to go, but even if he’s not the running game should still work behind a solid line. The defense will be good enough to get by, but will not be as good as Auburn, Bama, South Carolina, LSU, or even Georgia. Alabama and LSU are home games, but Alabama and LSU are going to be Alabama and LSU again. Auburn and Mississippi State are both better and both games are on the road, as is a date with, possibly, the East’s best team, South Carolina.
South Carolina: Even with LSU and Alabama in their conference, The Gamecocks come into the season with best defense in the SEC. Devin Taylor and Jadeveon Clowney are the best pass rushers in college football, throw in the great set of linebackers and a secondary that should be fine without CB Stephon Gilmore, and the Gamecock defense should be pitching shutouts. The offense will be devasting as the best running back in college football Marcus Lattimore returns from a torn ACL to carry the load and punish wimpy tacklers. South Carolina is great, but the 2012 schedule…not so great. Not only is there a midseason stretch of three road games in four weeks, but the last two games are on the road at LSU and Florida after hosting Georgia. Throw in the home dates against Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee along with the end-of-the-year road trip to Clemson.
Georgia: The Bulldogs are loaded. The lines are going to be terrific, the skill players are fantastic, and Aaron Murray could be the best quarterback in the SEC if a few breaks go his way. There are superior playmakers on a strong defense led by LB Jarvis Jones and safety Baracci Rambo. Mark Richt has traditionally been able to get his teams up for road games he’ll have some concerns this year. Georgia is better than Missouri, but it’ll be the first SEC game in Columbia and the Faurot Field crowd will be jacked up. Going to South Carolina is bad enough, but it’ll be followed up by a game against Florida. The Auburn trip will also be nasty meaning it wouldn’t be a shocker if Georgia lost three of their five games away from home.
Wisconsin: With Ohio State out of contention, this should be yet another terrific run to the Big Ten championship game for the Badgers. The offseason addition of QB Danny O’Brien will fill the giant hole left by Russell Wilson, and Montee Ball will still be a front-runner for the Heisman working behind a line that has two possible first-round 2013 NFL draft picks in Ricky Wagner and Travis Frederick. The defense needs some retooling, but the linebacking combination of Mike Taylor and Chris Borland should be among the best in college football.

2012 KABOOM! MAGAZINE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW: BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDERS!
2012 Kaboom! Magazine! College Football Preview:
Freshmen’s lost on campus, long line at the financial aid office, terrible commons food, and back to school dances these annoying events can only mean one thing….COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK! With everything that has gone on in college football since the last game in January, it’s about time that we see Lee Corso mascot face entertaining us on Saturday morning. Kaboom! Magazine.com helps you get ready for Saturday morning by previewing the 2012 season in our annual Kaboom! College Football Preview. We will go in-depth into the college season and let you know Who the favorite to win the National Championship?, Who gonna win the Heisman?, What teams and players will make an impact this year?, and What are the must-see games of 2012? Class is now in session and Kaboom! is the teacher ready to give you the study guide to a great 2012 season. Let’s get started shall we…..
BCS National Championship Contenders:
Barkley and USC are back in the thick of things, but can the Trojans break the strangle hold that SEC has on the BCS National Championship?
Southern Cal: After years of treading water, what will happen under Lane Kiffin when it becomes Pac-12 title or bust? USC will be the hottest team going into the season because it’s eligible to play for a BCS National Championship again. There might not be a better starting 22 in college football than the Trojans led by Heisman hopefuls Matt Barkley and Robert Woods. The D line needs some reworking and it’s never a positive to lose a left tackle as good as Matt Kalil, but there’s talent all across the board…so it only a matter of time before a star is found in Southern California. The offense is expected to score on every possession and the defense hits so hard, you’ll think that Ronnie Lott is back there. The Trojans have that swagger back that made so good in the early 00’s, but don’t take that cockiness for weakness because being out of chase for the past two seasons has made this squad very focus and ready to win a national championship.
Michigan: Denard Robinson & Co. have the “Big Blue” thinking BCS National Championship, but it won’t be easy as they face the defending national champions day one against Alabama. Denard Robinson and the offense will put up huge numbers week in and week out, while the defense should be fantastic in the secondary and terrific at linebacker. The line will have to retool in a hurry, but it’ll eventually be fine. If Brady Hoke’s club pulls off a win against Alabama, then it’s “Game On” for the national title chase even with road games at Notre Dame, Purdue, and Nebraska as part of a run of four away games in six weeks. The Wolverines should be able to get through a tough road schedule without any problems but their true test will be in the last game of the year, when a nothing to lose Ohio State welcomes them to Buckeye Stadium to try and play spoiler of Michigan national title hopes. An explosive offense and now a legit defense Michigan betting big and expecting to win big.
Alabama: THE 2011 CHAMPS ARE HERE! Alabama will be loaded again and it should be even stronger in the passing game, but can the running game continue to shine without Trent Richardson? Can the defense be as good as it was throughout last year without seven major starters? Will the kicking game come through when it has to in the big games? The answer to all of the above is probably a resounding yes as head coach Nick Saban has dealt with these concerns before and has always been able to reload and not miss a step. Eventhough Bama is the defending champs, this is not like in 2010 when they had Juilo Jones, Mark Ingram, Marcus Darius, and Greg McIroy returning with the opportunity to win back to back national championships. A.J. McCarron had a stellar national championship game as a freshmen, but now he gonna be the focus week in and week out for opposing defensives. The defense is going to be good as always, but this is going to be a very young and untested defensive out there every Saturday playing in a very tough SEC. If Bama wants to repeat, it will have to prove it week one when they face Denard Robinson and national title contender Michigan. This team will be good…national championship good, but getting past Michigan and a very tough SEC schedule might be too much for this team to handle.
LSU: The 2011 Tiger were great but lack firepower on offense against top teams when it counted the most….expect this year to be very different. An offensive line paving the way for what should be the nation’s most dominant running game, the Bayou Bengals are ready to run the ball down everyone throat. LSU front line is loaded with NFL talent and all the running backs return to bring waves after waves of big, strong pounders to wear down a defense. The Tigers national title hopes took a really big hit when Heisman hopeful and All-American playmaker Tyrann Mathieu was dismissed from the team in early august. Even with the loss of Mathieu, the defense should still be great with the defensive tackle combination of Anthony “Freak” Johnson and Bennie Logan leading the way. The 2012 Tigers will be great, but they might not be quite as good across the board as they were last year. the schedule will be far easier with Alabama coming to Death Valley and with no brutal Oregon-like non-conference games. Going to Arkansas could screw up the dream year in the regular-season finale.

WOMEN YOU HAVE SEX WITH IN COLLEGE!
College is an experience. It truly is what you make of it, and your experience can be as enjoyable or miserable as allow it to be. If it is your ambition to become dependent on Adderall and be a bookworm for four years, you can do so. If it is your ambition to pound beers back with the frat bros and gain the “college 40” after surpassing the “freshman 15”, you can do so as well. And if you ensure that you have the best four years of your life and party as if it’s the 70s again, you can absolutely do that too. College is just as much of an institution of learning as a raving lifestyle. Our parents think we’re learning, but we’re really attending university to party, do drugs, lose our virginities, and have sex–massive amounts of sex. Between the ages of 18 to 22— our most sexually active period–we become consumed by our hormones. Throughout your college experience, between all the sex you are having and substances you’re consuming, are going to be a vast number of women that you decide to temporally visit, for a night, an hour, 1 month or even 2 minutes if you are one of the faster fellas. Here are the different types of girls you will bang in college.
The Party Girl:
You won’t have to put forth much effort for this one because she’s just as down for the deed as you are. She’ll probably be one of the first girls you bang on campus, as you can close the deal by simply buying her a warm beer and a lemon drop. She’s most likely from a small town and has always been controlled her whole life. College is her coming out party where she shows off her free spirit and the ability to just let loose. The sex will most likely be extremely sloppy, unfortunately. After the first instance, you probably should not come back for more unless you’re obliterated and on plan Z. Ease of access is a sure thing until she gets a boyfriend mid junior year and says “I don’t do that anymore”. But trust us; she won’t be changing her ways any time soon. Rating: 47%, the sloppiness and chances of a clinic visit are quite high.
The Freshmen:
There is nothing more exciting than acquiring a nice freshman girl in college. Not only is she naïve and unaware of what’s about to happen the next four years, but she will love you just based on the fact that you are older. By senior year you’ve probably been with your entire year, so it is time to trend lower. The fruit only ripens once. What she lacks in experience she will make up in blowjobs. Rating: 80%, there is nothing like getting them early.
The Jewish Girl:
The Jewish girl is like a double edged sword. In the beginning it is all blissful, but the relationship rapidly turns terrible ends when you’re watching her eat hummus and gossip about how much she “hates” all her friends—Sarah Kloppenkleinberg, Mary Moskowitzstein, and Sue Silversteinbergman. She is probably a member of the SDT of AEPhi… you know, the Jewish sororities. But there is one major problem with these girls–they will fall in love with you, cause drama and try to introduce you to their parents, the Klotz. Rating: 53%, the sex is great; the aftermath is terrible. As the old saying goes: Don’t get a STD from SDT.
The Crackhead:
The hopeless drug addict is a girl we all at one point or another find ourselves lying next to. Smoking weed happens more than 3 times a day, cocaine is a Thursday and Friday night routine, Molly and ecstasy are a necessary any time Avicii or Aoki are performing at her university. You will most likely find yourself doing these drugs with her. YOLO, right? The best is waking up and seeing she still never went to sleep because of the amount of yay she snorted. The sex does get sloppy, as sometimes the drugs make her think she can do things she absolutely can’t. The thought of going on a ecstasy and orange juice binge for a week straight seems like it wasn’t a good idea in the first place. Rating: 69%, it will feel great for her, but mediocre for you.
Your College Girlfriend:
At some point in college you will feel the desire to settle down. Easy there, Casablanca. You will have a girlfriend at some point. It may last a week, a month, 6 months or maybe even a year. (Tip: It should never surpass a year.) You have your whole life to have girlfriends; why have one and miss out on the party going on next door? But I guess the one benefit is the sex will be great and consistent. Rating: 81%, you must really like her to be dating her so the sex must be great. It will get repetitive after the third week though.
The Girl with a Boyfriend:
The girl who has a boyfriend is a challenge you must take on. As men, we love a good challenge. We all come across this girl in college. You try your hardest day in and day out, and every time you think you’ve clinched it, she says, “I can’t, you know I have a boyfriend”. Sweetheart, this isn’t a Disney movie where your long distance relationship will last. But keep faith; with enough perseverance you will close the deal. Just catch her on a night she is fighting with her boyfriend. Rating: 68%, her phone might not stop ringing due to her boyfriend stressing over where she is, and this could be quite a distraction. Relish in the aftermath because it might only happen once.
Southern Girls:
On any campus you’re almost certain to come across those insanely hot, blonde haired, blue eyed southern girls. As a New Yorker, they may not be in your circle of friends, but they are a welcome change from the typical nightlife junkie you’ll meet up here. She will have an amazing accent and say “ya’ll” instead of you all. There is nothing like getting Becky from a good old fashioned Becky. Rating: 76%, these girls may be smoking hot, but apparently in the south they don’t teach rhythm as well as they do in the north. Must be the water they’re drinking.
The chick you wish you didn’t hit:
It could be the teacher, the TA, your friend’s girlfriend or the big girl from Australia, but nonetheless throughout your sexual experiences in college there will certainly be a few bumps in the road. It could be the girl that left you with herpes or the girl that you may have gotten pregnant. Yes, we all make mistakes, and no one ever comes away clean after college. Rating: 30%, it will feel great at the moment, but terrible the next day. Not your brightest hours, that’s for sure.
Yes, college is a sexual roller coaster that allows you to experience women from across the country at the height of their promiscuity. College is the last point in your life where popularity triumphs, as after women are looking for financial stability and maturity, not your stupid Frat t-shirt. Enjoy it while you can and make the best out of every girl you bang in college.

VANESSA BRYANT SAYS SHE A CHAMPIONS WIFE!
Vanessa Bryant knows how to pick em. In an upcoming interview with New York Magazine, Vanessa says she only wants to be a Champion’s wife. “I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships,” she said. “If you’re sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year.” We know Vanessa likes hardware, but it always comes with a price.
