NOT A GOOD IDEA: BILLBOARD WARS CONTINUE

I recommend that guy watch this movie before he misses with our friends on the bayou: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083111/.

Oh the visual…. DAMN YOU SWINDLE!!!

“Go ahead and scream, ami…no one out here gonna hear you!”

Great stuff….hopefully the local stations put one of those permanent cameras on the respective bulletin boards to imminent destruction.

Over/Under on each billboard before being defaced:

Onepeat Billboard in LA: 7 days
3-Peat Billboard in Baton Rouge: as soon as darkness falls

Seriously, this is pretty sad. The 2003 National Championship game was over 2 years ago. They both need to get over it, though as an Ole Miss fan, I know how awful and obnoxious a bunch of drunk Corndogs can be. To all you SC fans out there, be glad that you can actually drive your car right up to your house, you don’t have to jump in an aluminum boat to get from your driveway to your front door.

funny stuff. What do I have to do with this, though? I am just reporting! Must I be sodomized too?

Anyway, I wonder who would win: the 36th Street Playboys from South Central or the close relatives of Ed Orgeron?

There seems to be a lot of animus directed LSU’s way these days…

Has it been determined that the original “one-pete” billboard was initiated by a Tiger? I thought is was a Bruin…

I live down in South LA, not an LSU fan, but those Canjuns folks are certifiable. Dont mess with momma or LSU football. With all that has happened down here this past year, one of those people may take to going out to L.A. and putting this guy up on a tree.

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and pray for the poor sap who has to actually erect said billboard… and God help the “Fat Cat” if he wants to show up for the unveiling. I’m not saying that they’ll nail him to the billboard and skin him like a catfish, but then again…

You can work with Boudreaux. You can drink with Boudreaux. You can make fun of Boudreaux. But don’t f*ck with Boudreaux, it’s a zero-sum game.

Dude, Californians are the lamest fucking people.

Now, clearly these people have a lot of time on their hands. Clearly, there aren’t more pressing issues going on in Louisiana to donate their money to at this time, right?

From this quote, we can apparently ascertain two things:

1) Fatcat alumnus Robl also has a lot of time on his hands; and

2) He, too, believes his own money is better spent on a billboard than on Katrina relief.

I mean, that’s pretty much the gist of it, right? Unless he thinks “I am better than you despite doing the exact same thing as you” actually makes perfect sense?

The “Trojan Family” – What a joke. It’s one thing to have pride in your alma mater, or if not that, at least your team. It’s another to consider O.J. Simpson part of your family.

This is starting to sound more and more like “The U.” Next thing you know, Dwayne Jarrett will say that he’s a “solja” and that he doesn’t care if a Bruin gets hurt because “he’s after me…[and] trying to hurt me.” I’m waiting on the OMG END!!! of the “dynasty” for USC that Miami just experienced at the hands of LSU…40-3 + two players sent to the hospital from a beatdown in the tunnel.

My advice: Don’t mess with anyone that thinks purple and yellow overalls are appropriate attire.

just so you know- people who have been donating money to this have been doing so in very small sums. I think most of its just a bunch of bullshit and I don’t care one way or the other really but I know a billboard on Perkins ain’t gonna last long.

I’d like to state for the record that this is the stupidest fucking thing ever for both sides. Possibly the dumbest thing to gain traction in the CFB blogosphere this year… and that, my friends, is saying something.

Who’s fault is this? ESPN’s, obviously, for the monthlong schlong-worshipping on Sportscenter. Thanks, ESPN.

Well, at least “Fat Cat” Robl changed the billboard from the original design, not that this one is any better. The first just read like a whiny response and should have ended with a “so there”. This one is just an eye-sore. What the hell is going on in the lower right corner of this billboard? And finishing off with “One Pete (Carroll, that is)”? Huh?

By the way, this guy is a 1992 USC grad, according to the articles. That makes him, what, in his mid to late 30’s? Does he think he “owns” Baton Rouge? I bet he’s going bald (but a little southern California surgery takes care of that) while trying down the highway in his late series BMW convertible that has him in debt to his eyeballs.

This guy has to find a service that will actually put up that billboard in Baton Rouge. The odds that someone will sell it to him are pretty slim, if they ever want to get local business again.

Brian got it right . . . everyone involved in this silliness is an idiot. If you believe that the original “one-peat” guy is really an L.S.U. fan or that the “fat cat” U.S.C. alumnus really is a wealthy Trojan donor, I have a bridge I’d like to sell you.

Stranko got it right, as well: the last thing any of us needed was for E.D.S.B.S. to load us up with the image of Heismanpundit with no pants. It’s bad enough that Heismanpundit’s own obsession with the most overrated award in sports offers hints that he may watch the Heisman Trophy presentation ceremony with a box of Kleenex, a jar of Vaseline, and the goal of finishing at the exact instant the announcer says “Bush.”

As for Heismanpundit’s “I am just reporting!” stance, no one who has read his editorializing upon this subject (with which I generally agree, incidentally) could believe that he is any more “fair and balanced” than Fox News. Anyone who believes that Heismanpundit is “just reporting” is a big enough Southern Cal fan that he also thinks O.J. is spending his time searching for the real killers.

“They…play the accordian without irony.” Orson, that’s about the cleverest thing I’ve read since Terry Pratchett’s baboon trying to garner meaning from the rosetta stone.

Man, I’m glad that LSU and USC didn’t play a game after the bowls in January 2004. That would have just confused things…

The Great Billboard War, in the end, will have as much relevance as the Blogpoll. Only it will get a lot more press.

I’m waiting for the first blogger who realizes that using ‘OMG’ to show mock enthusiasm is getting really, really old. It’s almost as original as references to O.J. finding the real killers. Or, any reference to O.J., really.

Thank God for the South. Without it, there’d be nothing to write about.

In retrospect, my last comment was a cheap shot of the sort I often criticize Heismanpundit for taking at those with whom he disagrees.

I can’t very well point fingers at others for what I am guilty of doing, as well, and it is important that I put my own house in order before speaking ill of others.

Accordingly, I publicly apologize to Heismanpundit for my earlier remarks, which were inappropriate and out of line. I was wrong and I am sorry.

You are forgiven, my son. Go in peace and sin no more.

Nice Warrant reference.

Heismanpundit-

Post-modernism must only be for those capable of seeing their irrelevance in the world and embracing it. Poking fun at oneself or a group to which one belongs requires mental capacity far beyond that of those self-absorbed enough to think that anyone else cares that they exist. While you may indeed consider your thoughts and opinions the superior of the “rest of us,” it is only the one that realizes that nobody else gives a shit that truly has a basis in the reality of life.

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

Hey, HP, have you mailed Orson a hilariously oversized novelty check for 20 bucks yet?

Comment approved! We’re shy of hilariously oversized novelty checks around here, HP…though we would take a copy of this in exchange, since we apparently both need it.

Wow, with Heismanpundit weiging in, and with Orson & Strake really outdoing themselves on the visual imagery, it is hard to try and put in my 2 cents.

But I’ll try………..

In the prime billboard spots in L.A., probably 50-70 % of the folks seeing the onepeat.com sign will cheer, and think it is just fitting that the hype finally caught up with the Trojans. Guys, you had a good, long run. You even had Keith Jackson shilling for you. It’s over until you start back up next year.

In the prime billboard spots in Baton Rouge, 97-99.9999 % of the individuals would be calling all of their friends to arrange whatever form of torment to not only the sign, but to whomever installed the sign, the company that owned the sign, the adjacent property owners to the sign’s right-of-way, and so on. You think ‘Southern Comfort’ was a caricature, mais cherie?

As a side note, LSU football is a form of religion, but religion does hit hard there. In South Louisiana, all of the fathers want their little boys to grow up and play football for LSU. But in the not too recent past, all of the mamas wanted their little boys to grow up and play football for Notre Dame.

First of all, I am an LSU fan from New Orleans; and I was just as mad as anyone else when this whole national championship dispute came about. But, it is a little ridiculous to be still fighting about it. Secondly, I hope everyone in California dies. We are not all cajuns here in Lousiana. We don’t all live on a fucking bayou. We don’t hunt alligators. We don’t ride a boat to get to our house. What the hell is wrong with you people? Have you ever been to Louisiana? I bet not. California is full of pompous, arrogant assholes, who are ignorant and obviously pretty dumb. Oh, and as for the “plus: $10K for hurricane relief”. I think that’s a shame. What were you thinking? That was a low blow. If you really cared about that cause you would just give all the damn billboard money to New Orleanians. But no, you decided to give money only to make it seem like USC is the best damn school in the world. All I have to say to you is two things. LSU won the 2003 national championship. No questions asked. And secondly, I hope an earthquake finally takes your damn state away from this country. That is all.

why not just give the money to the katrina relief fund????

people are so stupid. In that case instead of buying USC football tickets and merchandise, why not give that money to all the homeless people in LA?. But somehow I bet thats is different..

By the way, yall have some pretty smart cheer leaders at USC! like the ones rooting for TEXAS on national TV!
