Jeff Tedford, head coach and pro-style offensive whiz, hires away Northwestern’s OC Mike Dunbar to come to Berkeley. Weirdness? He did train up Brent Basanez, so his role will likely be as qb mentor in Tedford’s offense. Northwestern, however, would like to remind you of their excellent academics, and also mention that their band plays “Purple Haze” at games. (HT: reader Colin)
Paul found this, Paul found this, Paul found this. Go visit his site right now in a new tab and then come back. Okay, credit given, we will now post the greatest picture of a recruit on signing day ever. Ever.
Feel the funk with Charles Deas, who with a suit like that had to commit to LSU (which he did.)
Deas: The Lavender Stunner.
Auburn loses its second DC in as many years, with David Gibbs taking a job as secondary coach with the Kansas City Chiefs.
ADDENDUM: It’s Muschamp. Tommy’s got superb taste, as Muschamp is a Saban-school blitz monkey with NFL experience and a NC ring to boot.
Analysts and recruitniks alike praised the depth and star power of Urban Meyer’s 2006 recruiting class. The roster ran deep with highly touted picks like Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin, and Mon Williams, and addressed the pressing needs of the present with an eye towards tomorrow. What recruiting experts and fans alike may have missed, though, was Meyer’s final signee on Wednesday, a diamond in the rough few schools wanted to take a chance on:
Predator Glontar, Athlete
A special transfer from Medellin International to Ponte Vedra High School in Florida, Predator Glontar displayed agility and strength Meyer calls “otherworldly” on the gridiron. A double threat, Glontar’s often horrifying play at linebacker allowed the school to switch to a 4-1-6 scheme on defense, with Glontar covering the middle to the tune of 238 tackles his senior year while rushing for over 1800 yards on the ground as a halfback playing next to fellow Gator Tim Tebow.
“Glontar’s a character kid,” said Meyer in a phone call late Wednesday night. “Size. Speed. Only reason he couldn’t play quarterback were the saw blades in his hands, which pop the ball whenever he thows. And elusive? He’s practically invisible out there with the ball in his hands. We’re hopeful that he’s over his discipline problems and won’t skin anyone out there again.”
Glontar brimmed with excitement in his interview, as well.
“Glontar, hunting Predator of all, slave to none but the OverPredator, sought a fertile hunting ground at the University of Florida. He found first-class facilities, and dense foliage surrounding the campus that allows for good hunting. He also found a careless and well-armed student population, which allows Glontar to strike at will when his blood lust seethes in his cold-blooded veins, since Glontar may hunt only those who hold weapons. Glontar is also impressed with the tax law program, which he plans to attend after finishing double major in political science/history of science. ”
Recruitnik Tom Lemming had his own special take on Glontar: “Though he had offers from schools that might have been a better fit for him–like Notre Dame, for example–I guess it’ll do.”
Yeah, it’s up at ND Nation, but it’s hard not to dropjaw at something like this:
For those who haven’t been following this case, that’s Chicago-area Rev. Daniel McCormack, accused of two counts of sexual assault against two boys, exiting the courtroom in a Notre Dame sweatshirt. Chicago area alumni: buy this man a Stanford shirt, or see if you can FedEx a Michigan jersey to Saddam Hussein pronto. This is almost as bad as K-Fed wearing your team’s colors, or worse yet, name-checking you in a “rap.” Popozao!
And why do accused pedophiles–of all stripes and creeds–always appear disheveled at trials and hearings? Like they just rolled out of the dust filter of someone’s vacuum cleaner? If we haven’t learned anything from The Conscience of a Nation’s constant viewing of What Not To Wear, it’s that appearances count. Oh, and that every woman needs a pointy shoe, a boot cut pant, and a jacket tailored to accentuate the waist, all of which would have served the accused Rev. better than an old sweatshirt in front of a judge.
This could lead us to a new feature, though: SKETCHY CHARACTERS SEEN IN YOUR ALMA MATER’S GEAR. No photoshopping allowed. Florida’s contributions could get ugleeee…let’s hope screencaps from C.O.P.S.: Tampa don’t count, ’cause if they do, we’re running up out of here with this bitch before it even starts.
NB: Please don’t even attempt to post a “you’re obviously anti-Catholic” comment here. We grew up in the Church of Rome in the fundy South, which was kind of like being Jewish anywhere, so save it for the MSU fans who come running with the lollipops and caftan jokes.
Purdue’s Kyle Williams has requested a move for his trial from Tippecanoe County, Indiana to another venue, delaying hearings where Williams would formally face charges related to two attempted rapes and attacks in West Lafayette last November. The negative publicity (no doubt from notoriously anti-athlete newspapers like The Exponent,) would prevent a fair trial, say Williams lawyers, who are examining Williams’ medical records in an apparent effort to construct a defense based on brain damage.
We wouldn’t make light of rape–even though we did giggle at jokes about it in the movie Yellowbeard–but we are running the Fulmer Cup here, and should ask the question: does this count, since it happened in November? (HT: Comanda)
Today’s Word: Truthin’, this time brought to you by second-day coach Bret Bielema of Wisconsin, who dismissed miscreant and talent Booker Stanley from the team for his involvement in two nastyish off the field incidents in the past nine months. Bully to Bret for making this decision, since so many of today’s namby-pamby coaches pay mere lip service to the idea of discipline. Take us, for example: when we were indicted for selling human organs on the black market in ‘93, in the midst of our Maxwell Award-winning season at fullback for the San Diego Aztecs, did we cry? No sir we did not, and held our head high as we took the charges with aplomb. Of course, the charges were dismissed; witnesses do sometimes voluntarily flee the country and take flight following the unsolved bombings of their homes, but…isn’t THAT what freedom is all about? The freedom not only to stand and fight, but to flee? Bret, we’ve got our eye on you…and America likes what it sees. [/stephencolbert]
Bret Bielema: he just gets it.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.
