CHUCK AMATO IS ALWAYS FUNNY

I’m a hustler, baby.
I just want you to know.
It ain’t where I’ve been ,
But where I’m bout to go.

He’s just too cool for NC State.

Agreed. Chuck Amatois officially a dead man walking.

State ran the wrong coach out of town last winter and will pay for that for at least one more fall.

Grey Blackwell deserves his own Fox TV show. As the Guinness boys would say, “Brilliant!”

Still, Chuck Amato is better than anybody who has ever coached at Auburn.

Chuck Amato out, his brother and former ACC ref Rosario Amato in?

Minor point here Orson, that would be the Raleigh News & Observer that skewers Chuck. The hometown paper…

Last year they did Chuck as Napoleon Dynamite. His bitch slapping of Herb Sendeck was inspired.

They also nailed Coach K in the same fashion.

Now for the quest. I saw Chuck’s TV commercial for a quick oil change service last night. Add that to your coach commercial library.

Yeah, that Heisman guy was a chump.

My favorite is still the Bunting one.

And just think, you could’ve maybe had Norm Chow.

Dumbasses!

That…was…awesome. Also, might have an answer to the ridiculously bad FSU offense, considering Chuck took the playbook with him- leave it to Bobby to only have one copy laying around and then tell Jeff, “Dadgummit, just make me a new one!”

Yes, such a thing would have to come from the N&O. The Observer isn’t clever enough for something like this (not that I’m here to say the N&O is great shakes either). I enjoyed the Fowler scene, but since the knives were out, I would have liked some references to the Mike O’Cain Era. At 25 I should not be nearly as nostalgic as I am, but I seem to be the reincarnation of Miniver Cheevy, except I have a bizarre affection for the late 1990s ACC instead of the Medici (OK, OK, so I have a bizarre affection for Lorenzo too).

/goes to light a votive and pray for Duke, because if any team clearly needs Jesus’s intervention…

A fake song about a pretender coach based on a fake song from a movie about a fake pimp . . . Awesome!

/goes to light a votive and pray for Duke, because if any team clearly needs Jesus’s intervention…

I’ve tried that but I think it may be time to move on to a mix of Santeria, voodoo, and Lowderesque quantities of under-the-table cash.

I’d light that candle for the Duke lax team, they may need it more.

I have less sympathy for those idiots than just about anyone you can possibly imagine. Assuming that only the undisputed facts are true and that every disputed allegation is false, they’re still too stupid to be on scholarship some place like Duke. And they’ve acted like that for years, back to my grad school days down there. Fuck ’em.

DevilGrad, man do I feel your suffering. My father and uncle both played football at Duke in happier times and I’ve followed their downward spiral very closely and with much sorrow.

Wooderson: they’re gonna walk, so what’s the big deal?

I loved the one from last year. I’ll never forget, “Do hokies have large talons?”

Every time I see Amato, I am taken back to the day before the 1996 Sugar Bowl …

A month earlier, Spurrier publicly accused the nolies of dirty play and late hits.

For the Sugar Bowl, the refs were neutral and from the Big 12, if I recall. Usually, the two teams send a position coach or something to meet with the refs and go over some arcane logistics, or something. But not this time …

Spurrier himself showed up in order to ensure a fairly called game. His opponent at the meeting was none other than Chuck Amato who didn’t look too happy to be put in such a position.

Needless to say, 7 personal fouls later, the Tallacrappy denizens went home on the wrong side of 52-20 … the worst bowl loss for a #1 ranked team in history.

Not that it is too important, but that is the Raleigh News and Observer…
