BLOGTOBERFEST! SPURRIER TO SECRETARY OF DEFENSE EDITION

That rumor would be the first time anyone in Washington ever associated Spurrier and “defense.”

the longer this thing goes without any public vote of confidence for Shula, the better things begin to look

spurrier wouldn’t be the replacement…but just about any coach out there, i dare say even {NAME REDACTED} will be an improvement over the unimaginative, gold chain-wearing shithead now roaming the sidelines

Yea another thing these Ivy League tom fools seem to forget is that pro sports, pro football especially, wasn’t jack back in the day when they were winning. You didn’t go to see the Jets play the Dolphins, you drove up to New Haven to see Yale eat Dartmouth’s face. This is sortof similiar to Georgia Tech. Before pro sports came to ATL, they were the hottest ticket in town.

With all their money, the Ivy League should take their stadiums and add a shit load of luxury boxes, and then some more people would go.

Shula got the dreaded “vote of confidence” after the LSU game. No way Spurrier leaves, he didn’t want the high expectations of Miami; T-Town is no better brother!

BTW, when you see that pic you gotta say “Hoot Hoot Hoot..”

1. Good point. The fact that the NFL left SoCal has helped make USC the biggest ticket in town.

Heck, back in the day, pro football was another source of revenue for the Ivies. The Patriots started off playing at Harvard Stadium, and the Giants spent at least one year at the Yale Bowl in the 1970s (when Yankee Stadium was being redone and before the Meadowlands opened, IIRC).

I like Ivy football, but I suspect that’s a minority view around here.

Just out of curiosity. If Spurrier came to Bama, how would you feel? I’m not buying into it, but who knows…

It looks like that Meat Judging team is full of adult film stars so it’s no surprise that they won.

Spurrier will not go to Bama because #1, he hates Bama, and #2 – the Bama AD is in debt from the BDS expansion and they’d have to come up with 10 mill just to start talking to Spurrier – 4 mil for Shula and about 6 mil for Spurrier.

Anyone remember what happened to the last SEC team that fired a coach 1 year after a 10 win season?

Bama is a young team, and they lost a lot of close games. Seems like Arkansas was in the same situation last year…

You forgot scorpion’s teleport behind the guy and smack him in the back of the head move. Forget about the hook, imagine the safety blitzes. He’d be in the backfield a tenth of a second after the ball was hiked

While I appreciate the rational / uplifting words from Tiger fans above, I just hope it’s not because you don’t want to see Spurrier once a year.

I didn’t see Darth say a definitive “no”.

Three observations from the clip…

1. Where can I sign up for the dance class that pairs you up with a hot chinese broad in a bra as a dance partner.

2. Why did I walk away feelling that the clip was missing him showing off his bo skills.

3. That guy is totally cheating in the weight room. I bet his spotters are really strong.

Alright maybe I’m jealous of that cocky sonofabitch. Whatever.

After staring at the Catherine Bell pick while the audio from the Vayner video played, I have decided you should all refer to her as “the future Ms. RedRoot”.

Impossible you say?

Ivy League Football Dept:

As Joe Paterno, Brown grad eons ago said:

 “The Ivy League is not the real world.”

The games are ok with a lot of history. But they should never be mentioned in the same paragraph or story as top-tier college football.

After seeing quite a few Ivy League football games, I must admit that the level of football is around the junior college level and even the Academies would have their way with them. The games have more an intramural feel with the nerds wearing helmets and stuff, instead of Division 1 football.

I bet most high schools get more attendance than your standard Ivy League game (Harvard-yale excluded, of course).

Aleksey says go for it, RedRoot.

The Ivies appear to be able to compete with the BCS conferences in at least one aspect of the modern game — thuggery!

ah, morrissey. the original “wtf did he just say?” 80’s artist

Need a Favor Dept:

Can someone paste on this site what BofTroy wrote about the SC-Cal game?

Going to his site may not be “safe for work”, if you know what I mean!

Hey, the Ivies might not be the real world, but I can see the real world from my building…outside of the gates that keep the riff-raff out.

Why does Alabama think everyone wants to coach there?. When in reality nobody wants that job. If I remember correctly they even floated a rumor that Bill Parcells wanted the job after Fran.Then they said he was to old and wanted a younger coach like Shula. Who was actually about fifth on there list. After The Oregon St coach and the S. FLorida coach.

Gee, SKLM, I’m surprised you didn’t make a crack about ND adding the Ivies to their schedule. Damn, shouldn’t have given you that ammunition…

NewAZ,

So transparent—we know you just want Shula in T-town for a long as possible.

BTW, if it wasn’t mentioned, that kid’s clip got passed around wall street I banks like a scores girl with whip cream bikini. He’s never working there…ever.

perhaps i am missing the joke, why must the polynesian linemen be gay? or is that an esara toaolu reference?

or am i totally focusing on the wrong thing?

Mike Coster and Harold Diggs with Coach Spurrier from Columbia S.C. In a nutshell. Coach Spurrier just told Mike and Harold he has no interest in the Hurricanes whatsoever. When ask if he would consider a school like Alabama Coach Spurrier said “As far as I know Coach Shula is still coaching there”. Again Mike Coster ask Coach Spurrier if the job were open would you take it? Coach Spurrier said “I am currently getting my team ready for Clemson and need to focus on the Bowl game.”

That Yale guy might be a douche, but he is kind of a bad ass douche

MikeHoncho,

You may remember that Alabama had just been hit with crippling sanctions and was trying to hire a coach in May at the time Shula was brought in. Can you say “changed circumstances?”

AllWhoYonder:

Actually, in a previous post I did write something about ND scheduling Brown and/or other weaker Ivy League teams.

But, scheduling San Diego State in a few years is really a no-win situation for ND. Even if ND wins big, they lose.

Try to act like men and schedule real competition.

News Alert: The Po-Po busts out the taser on a Purdue DE after F’nWP (Fightin’ With the Police). Forced to miss trip to Hawaii. Poor bastard.

NewAZtiger,
 The Bama AD is not in dept due to the expansion, between the crimson tradition fund and the revenue from the extra ticket sells, it will be paid for in 2 years, we are actually ahead of schedule according to the people in charge.
However, anyone who thinks Bama has a shot at Spurrier, or even Saban for that matter, is a complete dumbass.
Right now everyone is looking for a suitable replacement for Shula, and after we get turned down they will cheerfully announce that they have full confidence in Shula, not dissimilar to your experience with Tubbs.
If a suitable replacement does decide to listen, though, money will not be much a deterrent, the school has more money now than it ever has.

debt, not dept.

Oliver will sign up if Darth does.

We’d be in Atlanta next year.

The #1 thing that the Ivy League needs to do is allow its teams to compete in the I-AA playoffs. Students want it, players want it, the teams deserve a shot. #2 would be to start scheduling Stanford, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, and other bottom-feeding I-A schools with good academic reputations.

But yeah, the quality of football just isn’t there. I went to the Princeton-Yale game in 2004, Yale won 7-3 and it was the ugliest shit I’d ever seen.

Poodle-pete’s is the worst football website since Chris Rix’s. Is there a compendium of these terrible sites in existence? What else compares with these two?

Ivy League football may not be all that, but I know of no other football power house that has managed to get Keggy as a semi-official mascot.

I am pretty sure that chick Aleksey is dancing with his porn start Stephanie Swift. Is this some new kind of Ivy League Porn?

Is this some new kind of Ivy League Porn?

If it doesn’t involve getting aroused by your own resume, probably not.

Apparently there’s not a lot of overlap between the Gawker and EDSBS constituencies. Aleksey Vayner is not badass, nor should one be jealous of him in any way, shape or form.

PeteJayHawk: thanks, I think, for showing me how to waste even more time over the course of the day.
