BRANDON SPIKES: MAN ABOUT TOWN

by Orson on Jan 4, 2007 9:20 AM EST

We'll be along with some more verbose football stuff in a bit...but in the meantime, let us show you Florida Gator and fashion ninja Brandon Spikes, who looks like he's been buying clothes off Steve Harvey, getting off the plane in Arizona.

That suit should come with the O'Jays playing behind it wherever you go.

Ty Willingham made that young man wear that suit. It was his damn fault.

If the NFL doesn’t work out, Gladys Knight may hire him as a Pip.

Is UF home to the Michael Irvin School of Fashion? Give that boy an A!

Reportedly, Brandon’s mom made the tie that he’s wearing with the suit. Maybe she can desing some alternate unis for UF.

And as you mention that , I flashback to Sunday and Ditka saying that he thought Irvin’s suit had been lying dead on his lawn the night before. Good lord that outfit was horrible.

Mike Irvin offered Spikes 3 hookers and an 8 ball for that suit.

2 very important things here:

a. Another Miss. State player arrested. I applaud Croom for his early efforts at the Fulmer Cup. Best part: With a fake $100 bill, “He came in and ordered a number ten, medium with a Sprite,” said Crystal Porter, who works as a Checker’s cashier at the Daphne location.

Please watch this video of Saban getting into Alabama. It’s officially a redneck orgy. First, an obviously drunk woman sexually assaults him before the cop pushes her away…and you can here some redneck in the back crooning like he was watching his brother and sister do it for the first time. Next, I swear you see a 65 year old man with a shit eating grin on his face start to unbutton his shirt and ask St. Nick to sign his titty. Words can’t describe the unintentional humor here.

I read that Brandon’s mother made the entire outfit. Well done!

Why is it that when Whitey sports the pink, purple, or yellow suit they just look gay?

by tOSU_radar on Jan 4, 2007 10:00 AM EST reply actions

There are just certain things black men can do better than white men…and wearing a pink suit is only one of them.

True. But we’ll never give up “Possession Receiver”!

first off, i pull of pink quite well. secondly, that think is horrible. i’m impressed that his mom made it, since it looks very well made, and doing a whole three piece suit would be very difficult, but the color is horrid. good lord.

Note the pilot in the background. He too is helping look for Spikes (who just looks like he’s ready to spin, kneel and spin out of it again) just before the ‘Whyyyyyyyyy oh why’ in “Have you seen her?”

LOL @ #10.

RCR

What’s even funnier is that the lady who mobbed Saban was followed by the cops and picked up for DUI…true story. Unfortunately she bonded out soon after, so the link is gone from the Tuscaloosa County website.

Only in Alabama can the rdiculous meet the sublime in such poetic form…..sigh.

I don’t think that’s the pilot in the background. I think that’s a possession receiver taking a picture to show his mom how to make a suit.

I will say that if it is the pilot it’d be pretty weird for him to be taking a picture of that scene- unless Godzilla was taking the picture of Spikes.

Do you think Brandon Spikes has any idea who the O’Jays are?

Regarding the ‘Bama video, I haven’t seen that many jowls in a crowd since I visited Tatooine.

I think he’s been shopping from the International Male catalog. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. This particular model is the “Cotton Candy Dandy.”

I can think of at least four separate stores that sell suits like that within a 20 minute radius of our house. Atlanta rules!

Adam if you’re white you don’t “pull of pink quite well,” you just don’t have any honest friends.

But maybe you were referencing another kind of pink-pulling……you jackin’ it?

Damn, I had no idea that Steve Harvey was Florida’s apparel consultant, or that the game was being played at the Apollo Theater.

I’m guessing he had to pack away his cane.

TCOAN – One would go to House of Adam or Smitty’s here in downtown Cincinnati. They have them in yellow and light green also.

Hey now, I’m white and I look terrific in pink. Orson also looks good in pink salmon.

by The Conscience of a Nation on Jan 4, 2007 11:27 AM EST reply actions

The O’ Jays? Didn’t they cover that Coors Light commercial with the train?

To be honest, I think a suit like that deserves some pre-scientology Isaac Hayes.

That was for #16.

“Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea!”

Unlike Pepto, that suit could probably cause, not cure, all five of the above.

No orangeblood, if that was from International Male the whole thing would be mesh, and sleeveless. But let’s not tell anyone else we have ever seen or heard of that catalog.
