STEWART MANDEL, MAN OF HIS WORD
Stewart Mandel claims Chan Gailey sux. Stewart Mandel gets screwed by the broken clock rule stating that even a mediocre coach can succeed by not firing his defensive coordinator, recruiting decently, and installing an irritable wee man at quarterback. Stewart writes:
“(he’s) still not convinced (Gailey) won’t find a way to screw it up, but if Tech wins its division, he’s off the list and a round of hot dogs are on me.”
On Saturday, Stewart’s buying hot dogs at the Varsity. He really could just wait and double down, going for the onion ring and frosted orange combo for everyone in ‘07 that Gailey will go 3-9 next year. Everyone knows that over time, Chan Gailey Equilibrium will win out.
Nonetheless, kudos and plaudits on being a man of your word, Stewart, in more than one way.
First you nut up to your bet, which we’ll make sure you do by being there on Saturday Friday ourselves. (HT: The 5.0 Guy)
Second, you identify yourself as being 30 on MySpace. This could mean two things:
1. You’re actually thirty, or…
2. Using MySpace mathematics, you’re really 90 years old cruising for ladies in their seventies who haven’t drained the 401-Ks yet and gotten into the catfood-eating stage of retirement. Either way, bravo on the integrity scale.
Mandel: has integrity, and potentially a thing for Bea Arthur types, too. This, btw, is not the Mustache of the Day.

Chan has to go 5-7 next year to restore equalibrium, avg. 7-5 over the two seasons.

I’m still shocked that Steak Shapiro still has a job in broadcasting. Does that guy have big-time blackmail or something?

elwoodGT says:
Or, alternately, this could be evidence that the CGE is not actually the law of nature we all thought it was. Perhaps it’s one of those mathematical sequences where the first four seasons have seven wins, followed by 9 (10? 11?), , then the equilibrium is established by averaging the previous two seasons and rounding up, so next year Tech would go 8-4, then 9-3 again, then 10-2, or something… I’d be okay with that.

That’s awfully optimistic there, elwood. Maybe if the recruiting keeps up like this year (and Tenuta stays), then I’ll be comfortable with ignoring the CGE.

I highly recommend the clip entitled “Rich Eisen Tells the Bea Arthur Story,” rumored to be the reason ESPN started turning off the mics during the commercial breaks of the old Tony Kornheiser radio show. (They used to leave them on for the internet feed, and it was even funnier than the regular show.)

Actually, I’ve got a theory that the Georgia State Legislature passed a “Coach Exchange Policy” law, and that Richt and Gailey have switched teams this year (using those Mission Impossible masks to fool everybody).

Hey Orson, are you gonna to do a similar gimmick to what I drew up during thanksgiving? I thought maybe a good article would be match a character from Comics to a particular player. I could totally see Sean Taylor at Miami as Deadpool, just waiting to kill you in the secondary.
Just sayin’.
