KICKING OFF EARLY: WEEKEND NOTES.
We’re kicking off early because it’s rainy and just that kind of day here in Atlanta. If you care to join us, we will be watching the Cocktail Party from the safe distance of Taco Mac in Decatur, where we will NOT spend fifty dollars on vodka tonics as we did during the LSU game. Feel free to stop by and say hello to the man in the flaming couch shirt.
The video below may cause severe brain damage for Georgia fans who watch it. In fact, remove the ‘may,’ because brain damage is a given–it may cause death, which we wouldn’t wish on anyone. Yet.
Fine work by ChrisLeakFan4Life, the Gator video surgeon who pieced this together. We may usually disagree on what music should go behind shots of Florida opponents getting trucked by our beloved team, but this time one thing is accepted as a universal truth: Kool Keith saying “Smack My Bitch Up” to a thumping techno beat never, ever gets old. (Hint: Something unbelievably awesome happens at the 4:16 mark: one of those front-side, soul-swallowing, kodiak bear attacking a fluffy bunny sacks. We leapt from our chair when watching it.)
Enjoy your weekend, sirs and ma’ams.

Strange, I thought I heard that same song being played last night in Blacksburg during the Clemson game.

With Orson leaving early for the weekend, does that mean we can cue Stranko to fill the void with ‘cake?

Is this a pro-Gator video? Based on the play beginning at the 4:48 mark, I’m not so sure.

OMG. Notice the Evil Genius looking at the Hutt? He’s been thinking of how to get Syvelle Newton some more of those nifty shotgun scrambles he’s so good at. I mean — shit, if Auburn’s D laid down to Newton in the fourth quarter, Tennessee doesn’t have a chance if Spurrier starts out the game with that.
Well, that, and he owns Fulmer’s sorry ass.

yeah, remember just recently you had Tebow storming in on Jordan-Haire. If the inthinkable happens today, Orson, no more videos/pics of Gator domination the day before the game and to top it off: no soup for you!

Spurrier pisses excellence but not at SC. That group may pull off a few upsets but they’ll never be consistent. They are the Cubs of college football.

You know, I was going to go to GameDay — then my friend and I got hammered and didn’t get in until 5 a.m. These things happen in Columbia — when we left Five Points at 4:30, the place was still packed. I love this town.

14 offensive points vs. Georgia? TN put up 50. Vanderbilt doubled your output. Hell, Colorado put up 13.

Hey John, unless you backing OSU you can’t say shit to us about our “O”, similarily you can’t talk smack about our “D” unless your backing Michigan.
That said, our offense was a bit off, bu perhaps that’s because Leak was concuussed and Meyer for some reason hates the deep ball.

History_Ant says:
Anyone see the large-ish article on the front sports page of the NY Times today? To sum up, since registration is required to view the online article: discussing the moves Congress is contemplating against the NCAA and the shift from a ‘non-profit’ to ‘for-profit’. In itself, nothing new. However, the use of the Florida Gators’ trip to Jacksonville, and stay at the Sawgrass Resort Complex, was a new addition to the motif. The article also mentioned how much UF pays its current basketball and football coaches, in addition to the severance salary for [NAME REDACTED]. Finally, it draws attention to the pivotal role Florida Bull Gators – ‘the grand poobahs’ (actual quote, no shit) – play in supporting the football program.
The NYT also piles onto a couple other southern schools, notably Texas and Georgia, and completely misses the vital role athletics in the south play in funding academics and overall campus improvements. Normally I’d pass this off as simple Yankee arrogance and being ill-informed about things, but perchance they are onto something. Though using UF as a technes is bothersome and somewhat embarassing.

Newspaper Hack says:
Something they always fail to mention in those diatribes against Southern football is how the teams support women’s athletics — eg. would the highly-competitive softball and gymnastics programs at Alabama exist if it weren’t for the shitloads of money that football brings in? I imagine the same goes for most schools with big football programs.
October 29th, 2006 at 8:16 pm

History_Ant says:
I would imagine the same, Hack, and wonder if these are the sorts of examples the NCAA – and the large football schools that will be targeted – will trot out in front of the investigations.

Hack,
Title IX has destroyed men’s sports at a lot of schools.
At Iowa State, they cut men’s baseball and swimming/diving in my freshman year. There are now only 6 men’s sports left (basketball, football, cross country, golf, track, and wrestling), compared with 10 women’s sports.
Football and basketball don’t bring in as much money at schools that don’t have great programs, but they eat up a large percentage of the budget. The minor men’s sports are the ones that get screwed.
Title IX is a good thing, and it’s helped women’s sports in an incredible way, but it needs to be revised to allow a greater diversity of men’s sports.
Bama may bring in shitloads of money from football, but most of that goes to stadium and facility improvements, travel, exorbitant coaching salaries, etc. Ideally we’d bring in the same shitloads of money, but cut the ‘arms race’ spending on football and use more of it to support minor sports, clubs, and academics.

History_Ant says:
I think that’s more a Title IX issue (can you imagine the bad-ass men’s soccer team UF could field if allowed by law?) than a NCAA/big football program expenditures issue. Though I recognize the point and problem, double j.

j.j. says:
I shouldn’t have brought up Title IX…that’s another issue entirely. But I like the characterization of football budgets as an arms race. When Kirk Ferentz got his huge raise recently Iowa State gave McCarney a raise/extension for no reason other than to keep up with Iowa.
ISU’s got relatively poor facilities compared to the other Big XII programs, and the conference is pressuring them into throwing money into new facilities. They’re horseshoeing the stadium when we can’t even fill it as is.
Hilton Coliseum is getting millions of dollars in renovations, too…it’s already a great place to watch a college basketball game, and I don’t understand why they have to do that.
