BLOGTOBERFEST: TPS REPORTS EDITION

by Orson on Oct 17, 2006 10:30 AM EDT

We're trapped in a meeting this morning studying the management lessons of Mitch Albom's latest book, Why Everything Is Going To Be Just Fine No Matter What: Lessons I Learned From Senile People. Therefore, enjoy Blogtoberfest until our return around noon EST.

--Isiah Stanback, the entire Washington Huskies offense, is done for the year and career at Washington. Angry fist, shaking at sky at U Dub Dish.

--The referee hates your team. It's in the Bible.

--Tim Brando makes the mistake of attempting to defend ranking Cal above Tennessee, forgetting that the most attractive, credible lunacy is free-standing lunacy. If you're going to build a masterpiece as demented as Brando's ballot, attach no supports or justifications. That's just letting the bastards win.

Tim Brando fails to heed the lessons of Frank Gehry: if you're going to be crazy, be big crazy and don't explain.

--Andy Staples supports the short-yardage qb solution for Florida.

--Your status as a lesbian confirmed: The Wiz brings us his ongoing reports on OutSports' tour of campus tailgates, including the best quote of the year from a pair of lesbians at the Red River Shootout:

"I asked them what brought them to the game and if they enjoyed sports. They dramatically turned up their noses and said that they were not sports fans but since they live in Dallas they 'always!' go to the Texas-OU games because of the 'hot chicks, big beers, and even bigger boobs.' "

Huzzah, ladies. Huzzah.

--The House Rock Built has the goods on why Northwestern's Kafka lost his starting job.

Hey, thanks for the Fred and Ginger flashback. When I was living in Prague I didn’t know they were building it (too much absinthe, I guess). One day I’m walking across a bridge, look north a mile, and think “What the fuck is that Blade Runner building in the distance?”

It’s awesome, but unfortunately you can only go in the lobby.

Fuck Cal.

Nice to see you throwing out some jokes for us architects/CFB fans in the crowd. And by ‘us’ I mean probably just me.

While I’ve never “been to Prague” been to Prague, I was under the impression that there was a restaurant on top of Fred. Or Ginger. One of ’em. Or do they represent Tim Brando and that bonkers Central Micigan coach now?

MP,

I’ll fist myself after you off yourself ala “Naked Guy”.

Flop, There’s a cafe at the bottom, but I believe the building was owned by a Dutch insurance company and they had no intention of letting people tour the place. Maybe something’s changed in the last 10 years.

Brando’s defense is Richard Meieresque – a giant white mess.

We already fisted Cal and Tim Brando. Brando told us that we needed new friends. Our piece on Brando is linked

Brando is: a) making a sublime parody of the nihilist exercise that is ranking college football teams, b) stoned, or c) a moron so absolute in his idiocy that he has no shame in publicly expressing his random nerve impulses that approximate thought in higher animals, such as humans.

Wow, a photo from Prague and a link featuring (Prague native) Kafka’s literary works all in one post! Pass me a Gambrinus with a shot of Becherovka and keep the good times rolling!
