TWO RECRUITING LOSSES EVERY TEAM SHOULD MOURN.
As recruiting week winds down, the college football world needs--nay, MUST--mourn the two most important recruiting losses of the year. Unless you are an LSU fan and another school whose name we're trying to track down, you may not rejoice since you missed out on two of the greatest names ever to beam from the Rivals/Scout cheat sheets.
One: Evan Points At Him, OL, of Casper, Wyoming.

And two: T-Bob Hebert, OL, of Norcross, GA.
We're all poorer for not having such magnificent monikers on our team. Excuse us as we weep...

T-Bob is former Saints and Falcons QB Bobby Hebert’s son. You should rue losing him to LSU because of his name and because of his awesome accent.

There are three guest appearances on 790 the Zone we will stop heaven and earth for: Dusty Rhoads, any time Mel from Southwest Atlanta is on talking about the Falcons, and Bobby Hebert. They’re all just infectiously funny on voice alone.

I love listening to the point after on Saints radio with Bobby “The Cajun Cannon” Hebert for many reasons, two of which are: (1) Bobby refers to himself as “The Cajun Cannon” repeatedly, and (2) some guy with an accent thicker than Bobby calls in…and his name is actually “Booger Lips.” Listening to Bobby and Booger Lips have a conversation regarding Bush is about as awesome as it gets.

And in another note: T-Bob’s folks certainly afford better hair care for their son, no? That looks like a mixing bowl placed on the head and given the full go-round with a pair of hedge clippers.

Just when I thought the end of recruiting would lead to college football withdrawals, the Arkansas saga continues to pull me in. Last night on a radio show, Nutt and this columnist were trading snarky remarks. I’m starting a list of teams to replace the Hawgs in the SEC after the whole damn program blows up in eight or nine months. Its a shame Humanity Advanced will be wasted like this.

What about Maryland signee Bearthur Johnson? He’s already got his own EDSBS tag.

Julie: And Bob Herbert’s great. He’s the Daily News.
George: Yes. Yes. You know what’s interesting. The quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons is Bobby Hebert. No “r” which I find fascinating. You know it’s Herbert h-e-r-b-e-r-t, Hebert h-e-b-e-r-t. “Hebert” it’s a fun name to pronounce. Try and say it Hebert. Take a shot.

Since I’m of Cherokee decent, I believe I will name my son John Finger Fucks Big Bear. Sounds tough enough for a middle linebacker, right?

Bearthur Johnson -
I don’t know the linky dinky trick here:

I came in here to make a Bobby Hebert on 790 comment, and Orson beat me to it.
It’s really something you cant believe without hearing it.

Speaking of 790, does anyone know the URL of the blog complaining about Steak that he keeps referencing. He never calls it the same thing and I cannot seem to find it.

Soonerly or later, there will be a recruit named Q-Bert. I, for one, cannot wait for that day.

Soonerly??? wow, i need to stop drinking this early.

How about the Gophers signing Logan Uu at linebacker. Seriously, his last name is Uu.

According to this link, Bearhur Johnson is 6-7, 350.
In other words, only slightly smaller than his namesake.

Bill: I think it’s “Smirkin’ Chicken” – a Thrashers message board.

Go to the thoughts on sports (long title) page and there’s a bunch there on Steak.
Steak seems a little thin skinned about the whole thing, I think. If those dudes annoy him, he shouldn’t fuel the fire.

“Evan Points At Him College Choices”

AUAlum,
This is just my Hogs finally acting like an SEC team with “fan revolts” and columnist wars.
And Nutt apparently just let Wally Hall have it on the radio about an hour or two ago. And he took responsibility for a 9th place class. Then again, last year with all those big time Springdale boys his class wasn’t ranked too much higher.
I have little issue with that 9th place class – there are some studs on that o-line group – but the lack of a big time CB when that was the glaring need is what bugs me.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that T-Bob look like the kind of kid who sets fires, tortures small animals and then becomes a deputy sheriff?

“looks”… sheesh. I know better than to submit without proofing. I need to wake up. Is it lunch yet?

Points at Him is going to USF (that’s the University of Sioux Falls, not South Florida).
Which is a shame, because his addition would have put a “tough-with-a-capital-T” Wyoming class full of almost-great names (Kuhtz, Studnicka and my personal favorite Marcus Felker) right over the top.

Am I the only one hoping they sell a Points at Him jersey?

I thought the interwebs would fail me, but I finally found an explanation for the name “T-Bob”…apparently it’s the Cajun way of saying “Bobby Jr”. So, I guess that’s not nearly as weird as I thought, but still…T-Bob?

The Cajun Cannon must’ve watched some crappy Saturday morning cartoons back in the day.

Careful what you say about cajuns, #26. The term “T-Bob” could be considered racially offensive to those of cajun descent. Just ask Tricky Nicky Saban.

Points at Him missed his opportunity at fame. He would have been a first round draft pick in the XFL. He would have made a fine blocker for He Hate Me.
by Mormon T. Suxorz on Feb 9, 2007 1:03 PM EST reply actions
T-Bob is short for Petite Bob.
Bobby has a daily show in New Orleans. What’s funny is these cajuns will occasionally call up and speak Cajun-French and Bobby has no idea what they’re saying. I thought all cajuns spoke french, but not Bobby.
Unfortunately, T-Bob didn’t inherit his Dad’s accent.

ADAM: MSU signed a Co-Eric Riley and a Mike Hunt.
Just wait until State (Mike Hunt) plays Arkansas (Nutt, Dick, etc.).
by Travis Swenson on Feb 9, 2007 2:10 PM EST reply actions
Mississippi State signed a guy named Mike Hunt this year. Now, on the surface, that may not seem like a big deal. But if you haven’t seen Porky’s, say that name aloud repeatedly until it hits home. (If you have seen Porky’s, and I’m sure most of you have, you’re already giggling uncontrollably)
The first time the PA announcer says his name, it’s going to be high comedy, especially since MSU’s PA guy is an annoying old guy with a high-pitched voice.

This is EDSBS, right? I thought seeing Porky’s was a pre-requisite before participating here. Sitting through Porky’s 2 is worth some sort of extra credit.

Anyone else think “points at him” looks like Horatio Sans? I totally see him about to block someone, and then stopping and saying, “Noooo! Too sexy!”
by Katy on Feb 9, 2007 2:59 PM EST reply actions
Guarantee you the Mississippi State announcer ruins our fun by saying “Michael Hunt”. And is T-Bob his actual name, or just a nickname?

T-Boy is a slur for cajuns.
With that bowl cut, he looks like he’s going to burn some witches. Damned cajun quakers . . .

Wendy: Is Mike Hunt here? Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?
