Fire Mark May really is an amazing site. Not only do they get ESPN personalities like “Jim Rome” and “Trev Alberts” to post for them, but in picking what car would fit Florida best he opts for:
It seems like a great idea on paper, but it will probably take a few year’s to sort out in production.
Hovertank. Bad. Ass. They also have that Penn State dancing kid, who has likely already killed himself from shame.
Hovertank = Awesome.
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.

Thanks for the link, Orson. I’m sure the Gator offense will be fine once Urban fixes the Fire Control and Super Elevator Board.

Do you think that Optimus Prime could take the hover tank? But what if the hover tank was a transformer as well?

The fact that you used a Robotech hovertank wins so many points it’s not even funny. God bless EDSBS.

Hey, Mark, any tribute we can make to Dana Sterling is totally worth it. She was hott.

irishoutsider says:
save them your inside jokes, Andrew.
Even if the hovertank was a transformer, it would be that one you could never find in stores, like the stegasaurus Dinobot or the backhoe Destructicon. This would postpone any battles indefinitely.

Dana Sterling was not hot at all compared to her mom Miriya. Zentraedi poon is the bomb.
Odell and irish, the Robotech hovertank does tranform.

Jeff,
Thanks for the education on Robotech. I wasn’t that cool growing up. The question still remains. Who would win in a fight?

irishoutsider says:
Regardless, Jeff, the hovercraft would be still be hard to find. Every store I knew had the same two robots and that guy with blue hair.
The world of Robotech has been known to cause fits of comfortable rage. (Quicktime)

Jeff says:
Well, now that it’s firmly established I’m an absolute GT dork (which I honestly didn’t even consider when commenting before), I’ll try to determine who would win in a fight, using info from various websites.
Prime is between 24 and 30 feet tall, whereas the hovertank in battloid mode is just over 20. Advantage prime. The Hovertank is propelled by 4 Pratt & Whitney HJ-800 hover jets, two Turbo-Union ATF-480 miniaturized fusion plasma-air/reaction mass intermix ramjets, and two Turbo-Union RP-2S Rocket Pods, powered by two RRL-2 Miniaturized protoculture-cell energizers…
Fuck it. Prime would kick the hovertank’s ass. He’s got the Matrix inside him.

You have to give Nova Satori her props. The GMP uniform adds a “Stripes” component to the whole thing. Spatula treatment indeed…
by the way:
Perhaps the funniest thing I have ever read on this site. How college football and Robotech could ever be mentioned in the same sentence boggles the mind…

Not really… we were all raised by the same television… the same one that betrayed me that cold September afternoon when I came in from school to watch Transformers just like I always had, and instead found… OPRAH!

Mark says:
RedTide — I seriously think I cried that day. Well okay, I don’t remember if I did for real, but I know for sure I was rocked.
And honestly, I thought I was the only one who loved Robotech as a kid, none of my friends were into it so I thought I was wandering alone in the wilderness here. Good to know the rest of you freaks are probably mentally replaying the theme song along with me while you read this thread.

No, no Mark–when Captain Roy Fokker died on the show we wandered around dazed for a week.
That said, we would have taken eight good swings at his girl in a night. She was fine.

Mike says:
Loved Robotech. Great storyline, excellent characters. And, yeah, Roy going down was a hit to the gut. Now that I think about it, I believe Robotech was the first cartoon I ever saw that actually KILLED characters; none of this parachute-out-at-the-last-second crap, a move those Cobra fighter pilots seemed to have mastered. Seriously, I wonder what percentage of Cobra’s obviously massive military budget was made up of airframe manufacturing alone? Probably had some textile sweatshop running night and day just to stitch all those parachutes…

Stacey Keibler Luvs Me says:
I thought the espn dude’s list was pretty cool. Here is his list of colleges-cars (with my two cents included in parenthesis):
1. Ole Miss – Hummer (painted a confederate flag motif, like Austin Powers’ Mini Cooper)
2. Ohio State-Escalade (Only if it has 23″+ “spinners” or “floaters”.)
3. Oregon-Honda Civic (Replace with Toyota Prius. Smug smog conscious owners (South Park reference stolen here.) Can also apply to Stanford U.)
4. Michigan-Toyota Camry (Replace this car with the Navigator, a consistent #2 to tOSU’s Escalade, the SUV of preference of talented high school recruits picking among both schools.)
5. Miami-Chevy Camaro (IROC version, with the soundtrack of “Grease” playing in the stereo)
6. Tennessee- The General Lee
7. West Virginia- Double-wide Trailer (full of kids with bad teeth and dirty t-shirts)
8. USC-BMW 750Li (with the obligatory orange-skin-colored-blonde with perky ones, sitting on the passenger side)
9. Florida-Hovertank (with bones and Spurriers mug drawn on the driver’s side door with blood – think skull and crossbones)
10. Louisville-Vespa Scooter (Louisville has a football team?)
11. Notre Dame-Optimus Prime, Transformers (I would replace the Transformer with Chrysler’s PT Cruiser – A car that had a lot of excitement during its first year, but petered out almost right away.)

Up with the White and Gold says:
As a Georgia Tech student, I can say I’ve never seen an episode of Transformers in my life. But based on some of my experiences here, Georgia Tech would probably be whatever car nerds usually drive. I just can’t think of one right now.
Also, the Dodge Stratus mention at the bottom is the funniest part of the whole piece. That is just how I imagine Trev Alberts when he got home. Perhaps UVA’s car should be a Dodge Stratus.

Southern Papa says:
Wow. We can sure have fun with this one.
Tulane – Jaguar. But up on blocks with all 4 wheels gone, and the interior stripped.
LSU – a pirogue, with built-in kegerator, grill, and freezer
Texas – McLaren F1; million-dollar car, and worth every penny
Houston – a DeLorean; once was great, but can’t go over a speed bump without losing a transmission
Texas A&M – Ford F350 King Ranch edition Crew Cab Power Stroke Diesel pulling an empty cattle trailer; lots of stroke, but pulling nothing
Michigan State – Hyundai SOnata; just as good as a Camry, but never gets the love
Colorado – Lexus LS 350; chicks dig the car, and the tint hides what you do with them

Robotech was great but, if you want the BEST cartoon series ever, you need to look old school. STAR BLAZERS rocked. Who can forget the Comet Empire? The Black Tiger squadron? Nova? Wildstar? The list goes on.
The Argo would kick anyone’s @ss day in and day out. jus tpower up that wave motion gun and your whole planet is destroyed.

Wooderson says:
Wow, I deicde to actually do work for ONE day and I miss what is possibly the best threead to ever grace this site. Robotech was ok I guess, but it was 3 different series form Japan (Macross, Southern Cross, Genesis Climber Mospeada) dubbed over a strung together to create one show. Yeah I guess I’m the biggest nerd back here. But I agree, Starblazers (nee Space Battleship Yamato) was the bomb, and having recently watched it, I have to say it’s eerie how much of it George Lucas lifted to make the star wars films. Anyways, Anime discussions on this topic begin and end with the original Macross series and Neon Genesis Evengelion. I will now go light myself on fire.
and SKLM is still bigger dork than me.
(and Lisa Hunter was by FAR the hottest woman in the Robotech series)

KILL-EM-ALL YOU ARE SO RIGHT ON!!!!
I couldn’t remember what that show was called and nobody else knew what the hell I was talking about. I had convinced myself I had dreamt it as a child. I feel like I’m a UFO abductee who finally met someone from the same ship.

Wooderson says:
RedTide, I do’nt think anything can beat the battle between the EDF fleet and the Gamilon/Comet Empire Ships at the Rings Of Saturn. Makes the end of Return of the Jedi kind of weak, it’s that good.

Maize n Brew Dave says:
Wooderson – Lisa Hayes. And yes, the hottest on the show. Rook from series 3 a close second.
Orson – I’ll second that. Two shows later they killed off Rick’s wingman Ben and leveled Toronto. A lot to process as a kid.
June 30th, 2006 at 12:35 pm

Wooderson says:
Maize n Brew – Rick Hunter married Lisa Hayes in Robotech 2. Which I got arrested for shoplifting the VHS of at the mall. And there go any chances of hookign up with a girl for a while. seriously I’ve screwed up my karma so bad that I won’t get a single girl to talk to me tonight at the bar.

Jesus. I thought I was a total nerd for asking the question of who would win in a fight. Now I feel like a mix between Camillionaire and Thunder Lips “The Ultimate Male.”

Wooderson: I think I was pretty well out-dorked on this thread by quite a few people, including you!
Psuedosilentobserver:
How about GT = Volvo?
In my area, Geeks also drive old boxy model Volvos – not the latest and greatest.
So, a GT engineering type would probably be like a Volvo – not pleasant on the eyes or much to look at on the outside, but very solid on the inside?
June 30th, 2006 at 5:48 pm

wooderson says:
SKLM, I do believe the GT type would drive saturns. Economical, practical, good gas mileage, made in the USA (since no one south of the Mason-Dixon can afford and import) and as repellant to a prospective female as a big brown stain running down the back of a D&D fan’s pants
