BLOGTOBERFEST: BC LUVS THEIR UNSPELLABLE SLAVIC-NAMED NEW COACH-TO-BE.

by Orson on Dec 19, 2006 2:42 PM EST

Coaching holes getting filled furiously in the past twenty four:

--BC will likely hire Green Bay Offensive Coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski. His main virtues seem to be having NFL experience and wanting the job. Bill, for one, is excited.

--Jonathan Tu has an exclusive with Urban...who sounds like an extremely violent man.

--Stanford hires Jim Harbaugh, who Jon Wilner dubs "a huge gamble." Perhaps, but this sentence cannot/is not be true:

But this is a huge gamble for a program that cannot afford to be wrong.

Umm...Stanford could afford to outfit every incoming freshman with gold legwarmers and sapphire-encrusted codpieces and bikinis. They, more than any D-1 school, can afford Jim Harbaugh, even if he drives his car drunk into any one of the 18 Nobel Laureates wandering the grounds. (Just wait a year, they'll make more.) He can't be worse than Buddy Teevens, and that is scientific fact.

--Burnt Orange Nation is Time's Person of the Year.

--Mario Cristobal to become the head coach at Florida International University, replacing Don Strock following a miserable year culminating in the Orange Bowl fight with Miami. Cristobal, the first Cuban-American D-1 coach, announced at his press conference that A'Mod Ned could do whatever the hell he wanted to, play any position, and take whatever he liked from the locker room so long as he promised not to hurt anyone.

A'Mod Ned: broke the bonds of slavery for Europe, swung crutch of liberty for all.

--Erik found this pic, and we can't stop looking at the Orgeron glowing with joy over his poaching of transfer Jevan Snead from Texas. WARNING: you may be turned to stone by his glare. Or fall in love. Or both.

He's like a sexy basilisk, isn't he?

You had to have thought that the Orgeron would be in play when it came to Snead’s transfer. It just made sense.

Isn’t Orgeron more like Grawp?

Christ, I’m a nerd

Did you catch the reasoning behind the Time’s Cover on The Daily show?

The Ogre looks like a little kid on Christmas day. On a related note, when does Snead get his free Hummer?

Gator KK, nice double entendre. And yes, I suspect he will get both at Ole Miss.

Apparently former UMass Coach Mark Whipple turned down the BC job citing concerns about Eagles fans “squeezing the Charmin.”

Grawp? I don’t think so. Grawp, at least as read aloud to the Devil Children, has a certain underlying simple innocence that the Orgeron lacks.

I’m going to stump for fair representation of my university right now. You’ve displayed on your site the sad reality that was the MBA tailgater, some weird, stupid rap song by a guy in a Lions jersey, and now that is how people see ND tailgates. Well, the truth is something more akin to this . Like the t-shirts all around campus say, “Drink like a champion today”. Many of us live by that credo.

Awesome stuff, crazy tom! However, I was kind of let down at the end…totally expecting to see a fantastic display of intestinal pyrotechnics.

Finally some redemption for us ND fans, crazy tom. About time someone reminded the rest of the collegiate world that there is a reason why we Irish have a stereotype as hardcore drunks.

Tom, we’re going to do that lame thing where we snag something from the comments and post it. See! We’re just like Digg, without the math and reader input.

Great picture of Ned storming the beach. Now that’s what computers were made for.

More props for ND: I’ve met several ND bloggers, and to a man they were adorable. Definitely above the mean hotness-wise.

I mean, they’re no SEC guys, of course, and no one compares to Orson. I’m just saying.

I don’t know where this should go and hope it doesn’t get lost in here, but its pretty awesome. (Probably my most favorite Facebook posting of the year- -no EVER)

Reggie Nelson Christmas Carol -

You better watch out, you better not try
You better go home I’m telling you why,
Reggie Nelson’s coming to town…

He’s picking off balls, returns ‘em for six
Laying out guys and blocking all kicks
Reggie Nelson’s coming to town…

He sees you when your breaking,
He knows which route you’ll run,
He’s waiting to de-cleat your a$$
Before you know your season’s done.

You better watch out, you better not try
You better go home I’m telling you why,
Reggie Nelson’s coming to town…

“Isn’t Orgeron more like Grawp?”

No, that unholy disciple of undiscernable grumblings is definitely more of a Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday.
