BLOGTOBERFEST: YOURHIGHNESS EDITION

how the hell was Zbikowski an all american?

The Legion field of the Lone Star State. Ha! That about sums it up. It’s only a matter of time before the Texas-OU game moves to JerryWorld as well.

By the way, you forgot to mention that Gailey followed up his comments with “mmmmm…pudding.”

From a Michigan perspective, here is the weird thing with Tommy Z. He was excellent against UM in 2005. His interception on the first drive of the second half prevented a TD (although Avant was open by about 7-8 yards in the middle of the field). He also had a couple good punt returns and tipped away a bomb to Manningham that could have tied the game late. In 2006, it was like he wasn’t even on the field. But to be fair, Manningham was abusing the ND corners and I can only remember one play where great safety play might have made a difference.

For whatever reason, I expect Tommy Z to return to his much better 2005 play this year.

Zibby wasn’t all that bad. The problem was that Minter grew enamored of either the corner or safety blitz, and effectively it became a game of four on three on a lot of downs.

Or maybe it just seemed that way.

Still, I wouldn’t want to step in the ring with him.

With any luck Yourhighness will be following in the steps of the last badass linebacker to come out of South Sumter and give Gainesville another “nouseforanickname” player. Little known fact regarding South Sumter players: they tackle without helmets really really well.

Back when I was in high school, I was active in Key Club. There were three sisters from somewhere in northern OH who were active at the state level. The family name was Sweet. Sounds normal enough, until you found out that the sisters were named Always, Truly, and Forever.

Holy shit! I have never seen that clip of Massaquoi. Even if he develps into an all american WR, will he ever be viewde as anything but a puff in the SEC?

Threadjack!!!

I think DJ Gallo from ESPN (and sportspickle.com) hit the nail here -
“Rudy” was an inspirational tale that reminded us that dreams can come true, and that even a small, weak, unathletic person can play for the most prestigious college football team in the country. The film’s impact is felt even today as a majority of Notre Dame football players have been small, weak and unathletic ever since “Rudy” came out 14 years ago.

Zibowski is a product of this school of thought.

Agent’s name of Jeremy Sanshuevos…
 Thanks to the 10 hours of Spanish I took at La Universidad de la Florida I actually got that joke. Plus I can can order with confidence off the taco bell menu. Especially now since they number their combo meals. And use pictures. Good to know I didn’t waste all my parents money while I was in Gainesville.

Somebody else saw Idiocracy? Fantastic! I recommended it to my students who said it was “an unfunny stoner flick,” but, then, they’re students of a certain Florida state university, so draw your own conclusions.

Re #8: Which is a quicker way to spread information: telecommuncation or tell-Dick-Vitale?

Unrelated: Nobody wants to touch the Freddie Mercury reference up there? Yeesh.

1. - Donnovan’s right. Horford is way more skilled than Noah and has more upside. Noah’s still a great effort guy, even if he can’t steal the ball from 40 year old fat white coaches.

+1 to AUgrad.

I, for one am excited to see Zbikowski back.

Weird junk like that only happens against Florida [shivers, throws up in bucket].

In fairness, his life was worth more than the 1st down.

Just one thing to say to that clip, Stranko:

“Can somebody get me a towel?”

Crack of the Day:

The “Jeremy Sanshuevos” crack was the funniest thing I’ve read all day.

Pete Carroll is already in legendary status at USC. I bet he is even thinking out out-recruiting his competitors while he is doing the old lady.

While, down at the ranch, Charlie Weis was wasting everyone’s time with a questionable trial. (Charlie: Settle, and give the money to charity. )

Pete Carroll is already in legendary status at USC. I bet he is even thinking out out-recruiting his competitors while he is doing the old lady.

“Yeah, the old lady was having a little trouble up the middle today, she was maybe only giving a 3 star effort up from center… but there’s experience there, she finished strong with some trick plays and a quick move on the old end-around… and that’s the value you get from someone who’s been in the system for while… but we’ve got to recruit someone who’s gonna be in there for every down and take that pounding… but the old lady, she’s a competitor, man, you know, she loves to compete, so I’m thinking she’ll be ready to go for spring practice and see if she can keep that starting position — because we’re all about competition and there ain’t no guarantees here, it takes a hell of a lot of work to get to the Rose Bowl and have some fun doing it, that’s matters. Man, I’m all fired up, I’m gonna go run some laps!”

Honestly Stranko, must you rub it in…

“Zbikowski, seen here against LSU, Ohio State, USC, or Michigan.”

Honestly, this deserves some sort of prize. I’ll mail you a cookie. Bravo.

don’t forget another nolie: laveranueous (or however the hell it’s spelled) coles. who knows how to pronounce it, all i know is the dude threw his grandmother down a flight of stairs prior to joining st bobby’s school for wayward boyuz.

honorable mentions also go to:

the Brown brothers – Sir’Valiant and Sir’Lancelot. Sir’Valiant, aka Val, played at George Washington where he was affectionately (well, sometimes) known as SirShootsalot.

the Mapp brothers – Scientific and Majestic. i just remember hearing about these guys, but I don’t think they did much beyond having these names. Didn’t one of these guys go to uva? ahhhh, who the hell knows… who the hell cares! great names, though.

So, you’re saying that Zbikowski played like a man on fire… right?

TZ ’s play was down this year thanks to being cheap-shotted while on the ground (might have been UM game but not sure on that). Played hurt for the rest of the year. Opponents should see the return of the real TZ this year.

Wrong. The hit was courtesy of the Boilers.

A definite nice call with the Idiocracy reference. How long have you been waiting to break out a Beef Supreme reference on here, Orson?

Hey for all you Zibby haters………why don’t you give him a call and step in the ring with him……Wear your favorite jersey like the last guy…..That’s what I thought….bunch of punks
