2 COCKS FAIL TO MAKE THE GRADE
(We never, ever tire of writing South Carolina headlines.)
Coach Steve Spurrier has suspended two South Carolina players for academic reasons: wide receiver Noah Whiteside and safety Ty Erving. Whiteside may play this year if his grades improve, according to Spurrier's comments, which were made guess where?
a. Hezbollah bunker under fire in Lebanon
b. The Corn Palace
c. From his office
d. From a golf course.
If you said anything other than (d.), then you know nothing about the Evil Brat Genius whatsoever. Review your assigned Wikipedia entry as penance.

You know where to find him.

Science Hill High School in Tennessee. Just because there is a Moon Shine Stil up there doesn’t mean you can name it Science Hill.

Whiteside and Erving sounds like either:
A) 80’s buddy cop TV show.
B) 80’s NBA backcourt.

Doesn’t seem the same without a giant chicken attacking him.

Whiteside was an all-everything reciever who has had one touchdown or so in his entire career. Has struggled non-stop since getting to USC, a big disappointment….basically us USC fans were like “suprise, suprise” when this news came out of SOS’s golf media day.
Some great quotes from the wikipedia site:
* When asked if his Florida team would beat Georgia one year, he responded with the question, “is Ray Goff still the head coach there?”
* Insulted Florida State University as “Free Shoes University” (after a shoe store gave Florida State players free shoes) .
* Questioned the abilities of Head Coach Phillip Fulmer of Tennessee (“You can’t spell Citrus without UT”) and former Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning (“I know why Peyton came back for his senior year, he wanted to be a three-time Citrus Bowl MVP”), in reference to the Citrus Bowl being the designated bowl for the second-choice team from the SEC.
* Poked fun at a fire that burned 20 books at an Auburn University football dorm, saying “But the real tragedy was that fifteen hadn’t been colored yet!”
* Often referred to Georgia Head Coach Ray Goff as “Ray Goof”.
* Imitated Texas Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers, sticking his finger into a camera and saying “How y’all like my Kenny Rogers impression?”
* Responded to a question of “Coach, how did we beat Tennessee this year?” at a South Carolina alumni meeting with “The same way Vanderbilt did.”

The Chicken Curse comes home to roost, again. What’s next? A star running back getting kicked off the team for the hippie lettuce? Bar fights? A player breaking into his ex-girfriend’s apartment and trying to choke her? A quarterback/wide receiver laying out the student body president?
What happened to the good ol’ days when all Carolina fans had to worry about was whether the kids were on ’roids?

I’ve had 2 ex-girlfriends quote that exact headline to me…..weep, sniffle, cock gun, fire.

Don’t forget about great D linemen breaking into dorm rooms and stealing TVs and other assorted shit, Hack.

He’s in the mountainous Tora Bora country club region.

Ah, the Evil Genius, always to be counted on to give Duke that critical vote in the first poll of the season, it officially feels like football season is beginning.

Um, is the headline just two obvious to be stated?
Methinks Erving’s just a red herring to prevent this even better USC headline:
Cock’s Whiteside fails to make grade.
Looking forward to Smelley’s opportunities to add adjectival (al, e?) goodness to this type of headline.

well…we play Southern Cal in basketball this year, which has great headline potential.
I am still waiting for the day when we play Oregon State in a bowl game, to hear “Cocks pound Beavers”

That cotton-picker Steve Superior is up to no good again. Here is an item from Deadspin: "Yes, Duke got 1 vote in the poll, despite going 1-10 last year, and, well, being Duke. The culprit? Steve Spurrier. Spurrier doesn’t just slant the poll in favor of his own team, he does for teams he used to work for. Here’s what he had to say about it.
“Yeah, I claim that. I’ve been voting for the boys from Duke since, oh, about 1990, whenever I started voting on that poll. I just want ‘em to know that I haven’t forgotten about ‘em and I appreciate everything they did for me. That’s why I did it.”

I was thinking the headline should be:
“Big Cocks, Small Brains”
