WE'RE NO MIAMI WHEN IT COMES TO RAP

by Orson on Jun 26, 2006 11:30 AM EDT

Give Miami their due. When they decide to cut rap tracks to back their football team, at least they're noteworthy and feature actual members of the team talking abou the things they love and feel passionate about: group sex, hitting people, and doing both in groups.

Unreadable MySpace page owner and Florida fan Ol' Boi--who like Slimm Thug, appears to be neither part of his nickname--has an attempt at making a Florida-themed rap song.

We'll give him a wide berth for the attempt, but state that for the record playing Gordon Lightfoot's "Carefree Highway" would be more intimidating as an intro song.

Would like to tell you about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. At great length.

Footnote to this: we were watching last year's SC-UGA game on CSS this weekend (they know we're desperate) and was reminded of the best use of pregame music ever, UGA's use of "Baba O'Riley" by the Who. The only disappointing thing was watching the UGA fanbase just sit there as it was playing, since we were pogoing up and down in the living room just watching it.

Those stands should be having their structural integrity tested at that point.

Is that Gordon Lightfoot or Dr. Tim Whatley (aka Bryan Cranston)?

okay, so, what’s with the rap culture co-opting the “boi” thing from gay culture. aren’t they suppose to be working the whole homophobia angle. at this rate, the next big rapper will be boi fabulous, who shows off his blinged out anal beads.

Orson, you should check out the Dandy Warhols’ cover of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most.

What you call Lake Superior, I call “Gitche Gumee.”

I love the Who, but I thought they looked incredibly gay in that clip.

Let’s see – UGa, Baba O’Reilly…Florida, thug rap. I’m shocked, shocked, mind you! btw…how’s the Avery Atkins situation?

Mysterious. Still under investigation. And definitely, definitely not cool.

How big of a loss would Atkins be?

by ohiodawg on Jun 26, 2006 4:14 PM EDT reply actions

Middling big. He was going to see starter time at cornerback, and the secondary is thin, thin, thin.

Reggie Nelson can’t play two positions, much as we’d like him to do.

hopefully UF is really getting that dude from Utah. It seems like he is pretty good, and could play right away since he got his degree. he was a freshman all-american, too, so he’s probably at least decent.

Adam, it’s funny—every time we’ve seen that story about the Utah transfer, he’s referred to as “that guy from Utah.” Is that his god-given name?

You’d think that maybe Roger could take over tambourine duties. Does Pete have to do everything?

Considering the people of Utah have the least amount of teeth missing, “TGFU” should springboard us up even further in the SEC. (yes, I’m a dork. I checked out the full rankings of the dental demographics of the U.S.)
