WE DON’T KNOW WHO THIS IS. BUT WE LOVE THEM.
Someone’s written a song about the Orgeron. It’s brilliant. We love it. Please tell us who did it so we can name our first child after them…shortly before presenting the child as a ritual sacrifice to the Orgeron for our insolence. (Grande HT: Rajin’ Cajun Rebel.)
Again, here it is. Listen to it now.

Yoeeooeeohohoooohooo, hoooaaahhh, hooaah…football.

I know it’ll never happen, but how amazing would it be to be watching the Egg Bowl or whatever, and hear the Ole Miss student section repeating the chorus over and over? Like soccer fans singing “Vindaloo.”
Rebels fans: do this. please. it needs to happen. no one’s bigger than the game. do it for the kids. and the troops.

For your consideration.
> Hired as an SEC head coach despite having minimal experience even as a coordinator of some kind: Check.
> Sounds kinda dumb every time he opens his mouth: Check.
> Big dumb meatheaded vending-machine-damaging “motivational tactics”: Check.
> Hailed as a terrific recruiter, yet somehow manages to do nothing with that talent: Check.
> Humiliating losses to Sylvester Croom’s Bulldogs: Check.
Congratulations, Ole Miss, Ed Orgeron is [NAME REDACTED], only with a nice big pair of Chuck Amato tits. Good times.

Do not taunt the Orgeron. If the Orgeron starts smoking – run away, seek shelter.

Now Doug, let’s not get carried away. All of your check points are correct, except for the third one. He’s only had one recruiting class (the first one is tough to count being that he only had a month to recruit) …you can’t exactly expect immediate results. This isn’t NCAA 2007; it’s rare for freshman to be immediate impact players, and even more rare for 15 true freshman and 6 juco signees from the 2006 class to play and make a winning season. So let’s be realistic here.
That being said, there’s only 2 teams in the country that have played more freshman than ole miss at this point. Temple is number one with 19. And…you guessed it…[NAME REDACTED]’s Illnois is second with 17.
So thus far, your comparison to [NAME REDACTED] is more spot on than you may have originally thought.
i’m going back to my tears now.
orson–glad you liked the song. i laugh to keep from crying, as they say…

With Georgia coming to town this weekend, Orgeron’s got way bigger problems to worry about than little ol’ me. But if he wants to head on down U.S. 78 and rumble, me and my Wu-Tang sword will be waiting for him.

Try explaining why you are listening to this song at work to 3 women and a couple of dudes that don’t know who The Orgeron is — and then explain why you are laughing so hard that it hurts.

Any chance we can replace the Orgeron photo with the one of Cookie Monster? They almost sound alike….
That song will now ring in my head for the rest of the afternoon.

Imagine Orgeron and Bob Davie in the broadcast booth together, calling a game. If you played a drinking game and had to do a shot every time a FOOTBAW was uttered, you’d be dead of alcohol poisoning before the first quarter was up.

Day Whatever-the-hell-it-is, Oia, Santorini Island, Greece « It’s a Definite Maybe says:
[...] The fact that I am capable of reading EDSBS in Santorini, Greece and instantly recognizing a stock photo of Ole Miss head coach Ed Orgeron from his days as defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at USC, and specifically from the 2004 Salute to Troy, when Orson and gang have cleverly bleached said photo of such evidence (excepting the palm tree) is of endless cheer to me so far away from college football. I will also note that while chatting with a guy from Massachusetts on a beach in Portugal, I shocked pretty much everyone in our company by asking him, upon hearing he lived in Plainville, if he attended King Philip Regional High School and if he went to school with former USC linebacker and current Seattle star Lofa Tatupu. He had, and everyone was thoroughly disgusted with my Rainman-like (dis)ability to instantly recall such screamingly obscure factoids. Yay, me. [...]

This song explains the book ‘The Orgeron of Species’.
Some cattle scientist in Mississippi figured out that Orgeron is the missing link.
