I’d love to get JoePa pass-out-drunk (I’m bettin’ 3 beers would do the trick), just so I could snatch his coke-bottle glasses and see how the world looks with those bad boys on.

Hey, thanks. These months, I blog a lot about the Boys, but I must warn you that there are some intermingled nonsense posts about silly life as a twenty-something woman. Probably not the biggest concern of your readers. But I’ll take that compliment, and feel free to check in at my Double Denim (a subtle nod to our jean shorts) any time. My last post vented about the single-sleeved jerseys.

Shameless plugs aside, I thought of another coach. Frank Beamer. Routine Nole matchups, his worst seasons end in Gator Bowls, Coach of the Decade, lunches with Clinton and Thatcher. Oh, and he’s Frank Beamer. The best thing about being a Gator living in Tallahassee is wearing a Tech shirt with my Gator hat.

Gatorjess–a lady gator blogger? Whoa. That alone might get you linked.

I second Stranko on Spurrier. Sober = visor tantrums. Drunk = … guaranteed slurred rival coach impressons.

After this week’s Halloween prank at USC, I also say Pete Carroll. Three reasons: 1) just to see the shit he’s try to pull, 2) to see if he’d “I’m Keith Hernandez” and get away with all of it, and 3) out on the field, tousled and yelling, he kind of resembles Gary Busey’s employed, socially-acceptable brother. Get him drunk and I bet we could have our very own one-night “I’m With Carroll”. Probably get higher ratings than Busey.

The last two comments are proof that this blog attracts readers smarter and wittier than either of its editors. Nice work.

How about Lou Holtz? A couple of his intravenous cocktails would increase your neck size by 5 inches and allow you to bench press a Yugo.

One guy I’d never drink with is Ron Zook. That guy turns wine into water.

Sure The Orgeron doesn’t drink anymore … unless you count downing quart of motor oil and chasing it with the bottled tears of his players as “drinking”.

I’m going with the Old Ballcoach himself. Both because of my hero worship problems and because after a few whiskeys the fat jokes about fulmer and the short jokes about Bowden would be flying. Good times guaranteed.

Me: “Mike, you can be my wingman anytime.”
Shula: “Shit — you can be mine.”
Cue sentimental theme music.

Greatest of all time: Erk.

Red-faced drunken Irishmen who tell tall tales are tough to top for pub fun, so I’d enjoy a few carbombs with UCF’s coach.

I’d also like to buy one for Frank Solich. That dude got the hose.

And LD, don’t think I missed the Coenen reference.

You need him in this bar

Something to bring a tear to any Ole Miss fan�s eye: Orson Swindle says Coach O would be the #1 college football coach to go drinking with. I can�t disagree, even if the man does frighten me. Don�t believe Coach O is a scary man? Watch the Ole Mi…

“Remember the movie The Opposite of Sex? Back when Christina Ricci had tits?”

Remember it? I own the DVD. Great flick (and a painful reminder that Lisa Kudrow should have ditched the rest of the cast of Friends then–if she had, she might still have a career).

I’m not man enough to drink with The Oregron. I know my limitations.

And Mike Leach is a Mormon – no drinkin’ there.

I have to think a night drinking and culminating at a strip club with Gary Barnett would be fun. The man knows the mind of the 18 year old. And that’s the mind I want to have after drinking copious, extensive amounts of alcohol.
