WE'RE TOO GOOD TO MAKE FUN...NO, NO WE'RE NOT.

PrintRemember the final scene in Saving Private Ryan, where the old Ryan looks at his wife and asks her to "tell me I've been a good man." We ask ourselves that question every single day, often over inane things like overuse of office paperclips, interactions with total strangers in traffic (was that a yield? And for me, or them?), and our treatment of animals. ("Definitely neglected the dog by walking them for only twenty minutes today.)
Most days, we're pretty sure we come out on the high side of decent. However, once we saw this on Have You Met Tony? today, the ledger for February 28th, 2007 must lean into the "nay" category for our own daily Private Ryan rating. We blame society, and are entering rehab for finding glee in the following sports-related name.
Here goes:
Yourhighness Morgan is fortunate. Others...not.

How fitting… a women’s basketball coach named Mangina.
by Tom on Feb 28, 2007 4:17 PM EST reply actions
“Mangina guided the squad to a 3-2 record, with both losses at the hands of the French National Team.”
Which proves what I’ve always known…only the French know how to tame and tickle the powerful Mangina. I am glad to see Mangina lead the pirates, though. Mike Leach would be proud. Or something. Yarrr!!!

You never knew about that? You have heard of Muffet McGraw, right? And it’s pronounced differently, of course.
Of course, she’s not to be confused with The Mangina – http://themangina.com/start.html (NSFW!!!)

No, we were blissfully ignorant of the name until today, though we’re being told it’s old hat around some parts.

I suppose it could be worse. Her first name could be Phyllida.

She’s mantastic . . .!

Is she the same woman from that Seinfeld episode?

Note the complete lack of “personal” information. No kids or family mentioned at all. Hmmm….what does that mean?

It’s a Catholic school. They don’t want to know.

I can’t believe that this is the first line of her bio:
“The most prominent name in Seton Hall women’s basketball history…”
I’d hate to hear what the not so prominent names sound like. It must read like a demon’s list.

She can pronounce it however she wants, but if the Rock Chalkers are pronouncing it Man-jee-no, I’m pronouncing this Man-jine-a.

No mention of her sister Alotta?
I dig her 80s shoulder-padded powersuit.

Less prominent names include Fanny O’Fister, Bonnie Mufster and Hillary Aidsface.

“Mangina lead the Pirates back and continue the recent resurgence of the program.”
Awesome

Pronouncing her name correctly takes a cunning linguist.

Rosy Scenario Dept:
The only “Mangina” that I know existed I thought belonged to Rosy O’Donnell.
Learn something new everyday.

It’s even funnier when you read the parts of the bio that have the words “pirates” and “mangina” in the same sentence. The possibilities are endless for bad puns and MadLibs!

There’s video of one of her recent interviews here: http://www.thepalestra.com/schoolsite.php?sid=877&id=3931&rid=129
Experience the Mangina in all its glory!

Don’t worry guys, even St. Peter enjoys Mangina jokes.

Don’t worry guys, even St. Peter enjoys name jokes. Especially if the name is MANGINA!!! In fact, you may gain points for that one.

wow. see what happens when you don’t do your normal rounds in a day? It takes until after dinner to realize you’ve been linked by the Swindle Sisters.
I’m touched.
Of course, I should give all the credit to “Tom @ thepalestra.com”, but that bitch stopped blogging, so he can bite it.
Carry on, Coach Mangina.

Any chance she can be touched up to become our Mustace Wednesday honoree?

Ah, this brings back wonderful memories. SPecifically, the time we stuck some girl from Florida with the nickname “Assface”. Mmmmmmm, college.

“Ah, this brings back wonderful memories. SPecifically, the time we stuck some girl from Florida with the nickname "Assface". Mmmmmmm, college.”
Haha, we nicknamed a girl “can opener” due to a severe lack of orthodontic work.

Touched up or douched up?

We had various girls named thusly:
“Horseface” – self explanatory
“Couch Ass” – self explanatory
“Buffet Becky” – she ate a lot
“Swamp Thing” – all imagery right there
“Mufasa” – wild, wild hair
I seem to remember an “Assface” in college, too. Rusty, did you go to UGA?

#38, well-said Tony. I’ll give you the points if you give me the assist.

Assface, can opener, tank ass, we had much the same at PC. (Go Blue Hose!) We even had:
Jumanji: Her face appeared to be five distinct animals rolled into one.

#39,
Nope, Notre Dame. And it had nothing to do with her looks. One night she got really drunk, along with other of our buddies. So she starts making out with buddy A while on the couch. Buddy B has enough of this, walks over, bends down, pulls down his pants, and slams her face into his ass. She continues to make out with his ass cheek for five seconds before realizing something’s wrong. Thus began “Assface”. Later that night, she tried to tackle Buddy B and stab him with a high heeled shoe.
Ah, college.

Not to be confused with Phyldo “Hachet-Wound” McGoo, or Muffy the Wombat Slayer.

I got you all beat. There was a girl in college we called Leather-Beard.
She liked the tanning bed and had and eating disorder that caused facial hair. Hence the beard.
Beware of Leatherbeard.
Also beware of going straight to hell.

Aside from the chick we just called “Psycho” for obvious reasons (and the reason I can no longer listen to Sting OR The Police, thanks to a roomie falling on the grenade…for nobody.), we had a chick with a severe acne problem (or residue thereof) that was simply referred to as “Capone”.
