RECRUITING CHEAT SHEET #1
The dirty business of lobbying 18 year olds has begun, and like most people dealing with 18 year olds, we expect only the worst and most efffective tactics to be employed: fear, cash, and sex, most notably.
You’ll need a steady hand to pass through the recruiting season, and the right tools to guide you through the dank jungle of rubber chicken dinners, strip clubs, illicit late-night drinking sessions, and surreptitious “rental car” usage you’ll find are all common downfalls of the recruiting season.
Our first cheat sheet follows, letting you know what to expect at each school. Enjoy.

THIS IS “GOLD”!!! If this is today’s recruting sheet what would SMU’s be in the late “70’s” early “80’s”.

What about Arkansas’s pitch? “Come here, and play with two Dicks but only one Nutt.”

Oh there just needs to be more of this…
Alabama? Oklahoma? Tennessee? Ohio State? Boise State (I mean REALLY; how do they get football players to go there)?
This would be both informative and amusing.

The next edition needs to include Mike Leach’s pirate pitch and sordid details of a typical bullet-riddled recruiting excursion to New Mexico.

Although animal meat is a staple among Ole Miss players and recruits alike, I’m quite certain it hasn’t yet replaced Soylent Green as Coach O’s delicacy of choice.

Sorority Sirens? Basilisks? Dragons?
Is Ole Miss a school, or a Ray Harryhausen movie?

No, Ole Miss isn’t a Ray Harryhausen movie, but the Orgeron’s house is.

I’d like to release another prepared statement from Mr. Orgeron:
“NERDS!”

Jesus — is it weird that I actually know where Hawthorne is? Or is it worse to know that the bison and the kid would end up as dinner for the local yokels?

Memo to Mr. Stranko and Swindle:
Great Cheat Sheet, But, the last column (the listing the SWAG, gets blocked off from viewing after a millisecond.)
If you could get the computer genius to fix that, it would be great.
I think Florida’s Swag is Tebow’s latest arm candy.

The Bison would probably end up at the Burger Barn in Hawthorne, which serves the best burgers and fries in Alachua County. Not sure if that little bar/liquor store still stands just south on 301, but the BBQ shack out front on Friday and Saturday nights produces the best ribs in Alachua County (but you better order them to go!).

In Firefox, right-click and “view image” does the trick.

Blowjobs under the Golden Dome? Yeah, right. ND will win a NC before some undergrad gets some oral pleasure.
As the student t-shirts proclaimed 20 years ago (and probably still do today for all I know), “Sex kills. So come to Notre Dame and live forever.”
