MUSTACHE OF THE DAY: VALERY GAZZAEV

by Orson on Oct 18, 2006 5:48 PM EDT

A Russian professional soccer coach sounds like a job capable of reducing grown men to tears, what with all the mafiosi breathing down your neck to toss matches and the endless stream of mascara-caked mistresses demanding money, cars, and booze. Not only does Mustache Wednesday Award Winner Valery Gazzaev manage to pull it off and still sport a Champion's League of a nose skirt, but his team CSKA Moscow defeated vaunted Arsenal 1-0 in Moscow yesterday. (HT: Kanu.)

In honor of your victory and your fine mustache, we pronounce yours as the Mustache Wednesday Mustache of the Day.

Stellar Hound-dog 'stache, tovarech.

Almost Every year for the OSU-MI game, about 50 of me and my friends donate our razors to charity and go w/ out shaving for a month, an event called the “DusterFest”, (honorary mustacher Phil Dawson has been unable to make it). We have a traveling trophy (I won best attempt last year), and beer, oh the beer.

OSU is undefeated when this event takes place. Hopefully that is one tradition that will continue.

Oh shit, now I just thought of all the Buckstache jokes to come from the UM fans

Orson, I think the world’s worst sportswriter award should go to this guy. This is actually posted on the Florida Rivals site:

He looks like he yells at his children after not having spoken to them for days.

Am I guilty of Slavic profiling?

I bet a couple glasses of Riunite on ice would loosen him up.

this dude looks like thomas magnum’s wealthy man-friend higgins.

Hey, Higgins was just the caretaker. Robin Masters was the wealthy guy you never saw. ALso, I’m in Norway now, and the guys here looking over my shoulder are laughing at your misspelling of tovarisch.
