WEDNESDAY ADD-ULATION: BELOW THE WAIST INJURIES EDITION

The ’Canes moving to Joe Pro Dolpin Robbie Player Stadium? BRILLIANT! Those blue-bloods in Broward County could use some gun-fire in their backyard to liven things up.

Actually, this might help FSU… there’s a good chance any QB they run out there will throw better from the pitcher’s mound.

Just make sure Lawrence Thomas knows how to get to the elevators!

Correction – Lamar Thomas.

Slight correction: FIU was in the fight with Miami. Truly great moment in college athletics.

I don’t know why anyone would object to that nice Mr. Dorrell. Aside from one minor error of judgment – hiring that ruffian DeWayne Walker – I think he has a splendid record of gentlemanly football coaching in Los Angeles.

All Lamar Thomas needs to remember is that he is not as fast as George Teague.

Al Borges eats the meat boogers from your grill.

I realized something this morning. If Courtney Love married Auburn’s quarterback, her name would be Courtney Love Cox.

And if Courtney Love and Courtney Cox got married in a lesbian commitment ceremony, they would both be Courtney Love-Cox. And yet neither would actually love them. Freaky, huh?

Just a couple of comments from a Gator living down here in South New Jersey/North Cuba:

1. The on-the-field brawl was between SCUM and FIU, not FAU.

2. EDBS, referring to the elusive Miami “fans”, said:

 "They don’t come to games that don’t matter, as evidenced by scads of empty seats for many non-conference games. "

Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, the empty seats masquerade as “fans” for all games, not just non-conference games, with the exception of the FSU game when it’s played down here. I have a friend who is intimately involved with the negotiations between SCUM and the City of Miami, and he advises that the Canes average paid attendance at last season’s home games, as opposed to the “announced” attendance, was 30,000 per game. This is in a stadium, decrepit though it may be, which has a seating capacity of about 72,000. Moreover, the only reason that average attendance reached 30 K was because of the FSU game.

I was born down here, have lived here almost all my life, and can say, without fear of contradiction from any rational being not on drugs or alcohol, that Miami-Dade County is the worst sports “town” in the western hemisphere.

Holy crap, that guy on the front right with the white, long sleeve undershirt looks exactly like my cousin who goes to UF. If only that picture were bigger, I could tell for sure!

If by freaky, you mean ironic, you would be right.

The caption under a picture of them making out, or what is being played in my mind is, “ironic,” anyway.

“commuting 30 miles to your job to work in a soulless corporate dungeon”

It made me sad to realize this is also me. I thought that was something that wouldn’t happen to me, but it has.

The only solace — I guess — I can take is that I don’t live in a soulless residential dungeon.

Fuck.

come to peru!

I don’t know about the Reggie Nelson comparison, but Buchanan sure seems to score a lot of rushing TD’s for a linebacker.

Although, the “when I hit people I really don’t care” statement may be an indication of future RFN correlations.

I’m just trying to clear my mind of the idea of Borges talking about anyone’s “below the waist injuries”… to think of an injury described that way is bad enough, but for it to come from “his royal circumpherence” who hasn’t seen anything below his waist for over a decade just makes me want to wash my mind’s eye with detergent. Yick! Oh, and whether he sleeps at night is also of no concern…

C’mon, start some Florida v. Georgia smack! Not only is my team trouncing them in all that matters, I like their women, and its mutual!

Thanks for the Laughs Dept:

Nestor did not list Dorrell having to achieve WORLD PEACE this next year? He must be the most deluded blogger in the history of bloging. Boggles the mind. At least “he/she” is good for laughs.

Georgia sleeps well knowing Cox is coming back?!? How quickly we forget the 2005 installment of The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry. Cox- 16-28-279 inculding this all-time bulldawg ball-breaker:

As for the 2006 edition of Cox on bulldawgs…I’m deferring to the below the waist injuries.

“The Nestor/Karl Dorrell explosion index may have to be this year’s Notre Dame Suicide Watch EDSBS Featured Graphic of Dubious Scientific Value.”

What replaces the Chuck Amato Chest Watch?

I feel bad for Bruin fans who think they’re going to beat ND this year. Yeah, we’ll still beat you, even with a first year QB

The atmosphere at the OB is indeed, dank, dark and dingy. The place is a dump and unfortunately the legend of it doesn’t match up with the reality of what happens when a relic is ignored and essential maintenance is put off for a few decades or more.

In its present form it’s barely being held up by the copious amounts of chain-link fencing that lends so much to the “just like the jail you’ll have good odds of visiting.” Throw in the rusting structural steel and the leaky plumbing and its just like watching a football game deep inside the Poseidon.

And, just in case you haven’t been to a game at Miami before, the PA announcer is without a doubt the worst announcer ever. Imagine someone doing their worst Jerry Seinfeld impression. Now imagine he’s had a stroke. Now imagine he’s calling a football game. Now you’re about half of the way there to imagining the awful that it is in person.

The actual students at Miami did a good job, they filled their section and were supportive throughout the game, but this is Miami, so it’s not like they’ve got a large student body. And unfortunately they’re located near one of the end zones, well away from the field. Surely in a stadium that’s about 40% utilized they could find some better tix for the students, especially considering the eye-watering cost of tuition.

Another FYI – the band is mic’d up so that they can be heard over the PA when they play. That’s just not right.

A move to better digs and separation from the “traditional” Miami fan can only help at this point, especially after all the on-field hijinks and the off-field tragedy they suffered last year.

I love UCLA fans, they always have high expectations, that’s why even when they see success, they are still depressed.

Just look at last year. They beat us for the first time in seven years and think that means that they’re improving. However, what happens? They then go to a bowl game and just get destroyed by (then) 6-6 FSU.

If I was a Bruin fan, I’d have low expectations and be happier, rather than assume I’m going to a BCS bowl every year and end up crying myself to sleep every night.

Jeff, they console themselves by hugging their diploma and reminding themselves how much smarter they are than their cross-town rivals. Bless.

Good point DC, they are still ahead of Cal State LA right? I know it bugs the crap out of the Bruins that USC now pulls in students with higher SAT scores than UCLA.

Maybe the stadium thing might work out for Miami, but I think that the stadium situation in LA is one big reason why USC became one of the elite teams in CFB and UCLA has been limited to being a mid-level program. Without their own stadium UCLA has either played their games in USC’s house or had to drive clear to the other side of the county to play in Pasadena (an area that also happens to be a hotbed of USC support). That sucks for them compared to all the USC students who walk to the games and the alums who get a great on-campus experience on gamedays.

Kleph: You talked me into it. I’ll be down in August.

I’m a little late to the party here on this one.

But…

Good luck with that bruins!

Ha!
