THE HERBIES ARE OUT
Much as we pick on the WWL, we count ourselves as fans of Herbstreit… if for no other reason than what a freaking life he’s leading. Talk about dream jobs. Anyway, he has come out with his sixth annual Herbie awards, which consist of a variety of his picks as best players and favorite things about college football. Aside from not including the Ole Ballcoach on his list of favorite playcallers, one thing really stood out to us about this list… the “All Uniform Team”. Is Kirk a fan of the Boi from Troy… not that there is anything wrong with that.
Life is good for Kirk Herbstreit.

He loves our Pat White, loves Coach Rod, thinks Dan Mozes looks great in a blue and old gold uni, and then picks Louisville to take the conference??? Fuck THAT guy.
I am disgusted. In fact – if propositioned – I might even think twice before saying yes to a night of hot, steamy, meaningless sex.
Eh, probably not.

Anybody who picks the University of Arizona that high in that many catergories obviously needs their head removed from their anus…or other body parts removed from Mike Stoops’ mouth. Imbecile. Like I really needed another reason to HATE Ohio State.

Like most of what you see on ESPN, it’s an “All-ABC-Televised-Teams” list. Only 6 SEC players, total, in old Herbie’s entire lineup. If you caught their awful “preview” show on Saturday, you saw–or rather didn’t see–the same thing. If you aren’t televised by ABC (or called Notre Dame), you don’t get much notice from ESPN these days.

Kirk told me once that he would rather “the boys”(his words, not mine)play naked, much like the Greeks did in the first Olympics . He thinks it would be a great equalizer since those pads are so ,so cumbersome and only come in that off-white color.

I guess since he’s been dumped by more than one Ole Miss girl in the past few years, Patrick Willis gets no love (number 6 ILB), and no restaurants in Oxford get any love. Dooey’s BBQ is spectacular though. I’ll give him that.

Flibby, I think ESPN gives far more love to the small schools than you think. How else would they fill their programming lineup after baseball season on a slow tuesday night if it weren’t for the ball states and La Techs of the world?

Pretty sure Kirk is blasting Herbies all over his wife these days… he’s got a brood of kids too. Not that he couldn’t cut a wide swath through the sororities of his choosing though. I bet he doesn’t – even worse than the guy who can get all the chicks is the guy who can get all the chicks but chooses not too.

Bradley says:
One big question I have is how does Mack Brown go from the coach that ‘can’t win the big one’ to the 2nd best gameday coach in the country after one game? As far as I could tell the gameday coaching was ‘run Vince run’.

JohnWA says:
Gotta agree with Bradley on that one. Mack Brown’s game plan sessions last year:
MB: “Ok, Vince. Both of the WR’s are going to go out on fly patterns…”
(Vince with a puzzled look)
MB: “The two guys who line up towards the sidelines, Vince. We’ve been over this.”
VY: “Oh yeah, Coach. That’s right.”
MB: “You know what, Vince. Just run the damn ball.”

Beergut says:
He doesn’t list Justin Warren as a top MLB, but lists some schlub from Nebraska, even though Warren led all linebakcers in the Big 12 with 95 tackles.
Also, he lists Kevin Steele as an up-and-coming coach? WTF?!?!? Did he miss his head coaching swing at Baylor? That guy SUCKS as a head coach; I know people who played for him, and they said he made you hate the game of football.

BillytheSkid says:
Hey, now. Mack Brown is undefeated against the #1 game day coach and the #3 game day coach.
I think his planning sessions went more like this:
MB: “Vince, why don’t you throw for 3000 yards while you’re running over everybody.”
VY: “Can do, coach!”

Nah, don’t think so, but with the University buying The Booth and everything…I heard UA was trying to buy out the whole Strip, including Gallette’s. I think they’re trying to make it like Georgia, aka terrible.

I heard that they offered Phillip Weaver 6 mil for the Gallette’s property and he turned them down cold.
He doesn’t run or own the bar anymore, but I am pretty sure he still owns the building.
Is this true?

they bought the booth, is the booth closed?
although I went to school there, I haven’t been to Tuscaloosa for almost a year and a half now
Gallettes and The Booth are literally my two favorite bars in the world…great, shitty, college bars / cocaine dens…this is fucking tragic

Stand Strong Gallette's says:
Booth hasn’t closed yet…but yeah great shitty college bars…I think that’s why the University wants them away from campus. I heard that about Weaver, and he does still own the building. They’ll have to offer way more than that…Gallette’s profits that in 2 years easy.

Pants McPants says:
So, the coach who left the Heisman winner on the sideline on 4th and 2 in the championship game is the best gameday coach?
And the brand new coach whose six weeks of planning and halftime adjustments held Ohio State to a measly 600 yards of offense is on there too?
And the coach who finally won an NC with the gameday strategy of “Win the game Vince” is excellent too, huh?
Herbie’s biases are just too transparent…I like the guy, but he goes through phases of puppy love, it was Stoops a few years ago, Carroll lately, and Weis appears to be the next object of his pretty faced adoration…

oc phil says:
I don’t think Carroll’s call on that infamous 4th and 2 was that bad. For 3 years White had been making most of the short yardage runs (and doing very very well at them). There’s nothing wrong with going with the one that brung ya.
They didn’t need Reggie as a decoy either, they had plenty on that offensive team. I’ll take Carroll as a game day coach any day. 2 losses over 3 years isn’t an easy mark to achieve.

Pants McPants says:
Carroll is the the #1 recruiter in the country hands down, in my opinion…His overwhelming talent, and Norm Chow’s offenses, have fueled USC’s dominance…
I don’t really think he’s the best gameday coach in the country, however…

You’d lose some serious green then, Hokie Andrew. Fact.
Herbie is a douche and gave Patrick Willis #6 Inside Linebacker…Not even #6 straight up linebacker…Willis would give Pusleusky of Penn St a mushroom shaped bruise on his forehead.
