BLOGTOBERFEST: FOOTBALLPOCALYPSE WEEK EDITION

What, my discussion of the Georgia-UAB battle royale doesn’t qualify as a “Footballpocalypse” entry? You’d really overlook that clash of the titans for some meaningless drag-ass game like Florida-Tennessee? Fuck you, man.

Stewie Mandel’s column over at SI.com addresses the postgame celebratory actions of a particular tOSU cheerleader and even goes on to discuss the couch burnin’ at WVU. (No references to EDSBS, but the story line is just as funny!) Oddly enough, he even condones nekkidness within the same discussion.

Fear the Blazers. Watson Brown’s just a bullet looking for a dome to pop, man.

A plague on Phil Knight’s house. One of the only watchable parts of “Elizabethtown” was Alec Baldwin’s thinly-veiled evisceration of the de facto King of Oregon.

“This reference to Rashomon indicates that we hold a worthless liberal arts degree awarded sometime after Derrida infested the academy in the early seventies.”

Classic. Hail, fellow liberal arts degree-holders!

“Come on, team, let’s go out there and really deconstruct them!”

Wow, I scooped Joel. Sorry Joel, I not only got one but two interviews with Urban Meyer. Very candid engaging and dynamic man. I wish Fulmer was more like him

your story about tubby reminds me of the severe taunting i saw administered to a soggy, sad old man with a 1940s-era UT trucker hat (this before trucker hats had made a comeback) and A CANE at that same ’95 game.

this was after the final gun, when the old guy was sitting dazedly in the stands wondering what the hell had just happened to peyton and the boys (about 7 straight touchdowns, as i recall), when a group of 19-year-old UF fans gathered round him and proceeded to give him the taunting of his life.

he didn’t even say anything, just looked confused and miserable. it was awesome.

ND fans who are GE emplyees, please watch out: The NBC guerilla marketers are out in force on all of the ND blogs posting away, so be careful out there checking them out at work!

If I read one more article in the national media that “Oregon can have at least 100 different color combinations regarding their uniforms on game day” I’m going to puke. I hope Oklahoma shoves those uniforms up Oregon’s collective ass. I understand no UAB/Georgia coverage. It’s better this way.

One thing I learned from the UT logo article was that Meyer grew up in Ashtabula, OH. If I grew up anywhere in the vicinity of East Cleveland, then I would also become an angry finger-pointing madman.

Seriously, Ashtabula is the lake effect snow capital of the world, getting six inches a day during the winter. And I had one engineering job up there: a battery acid plant.

i think that whole “what’s up with florida’s line” thing is a little over blown. they’ve been getting a TON of pressure, they just haven’t had many sacks. if i had a choice between 4 sacks and eight QB pressures, i’d take the pressure every time. the USM and UCF QB’s were throwing the ball away constantly, and you have to love that.

Coach Herring, you’ve given up 70 and 50 points to the Trojans the last two years…why the fuck am I asking you how to stop them?

Ah, Rashomon—Kurosawa’s best movie evah. Very nice, Orson—very very nice.

The Oregon Uniform pool must be a deep one. What the hell do they do with all of them. Surely they can’t sell 15,000 jerseys at the spring game. Their uniforms makes my small brain hurt.

Funny, I thought the Fiesta Bowl rout of Alabama in the early 90’s was going to be their program changing game"?

seven samurai is better than rashomon (although rashomon rocks)
