BLOGTOBERFEST: HOT BLOGGERS EDITION

I’ve heard that gay bars in W.V. have haystacks just outside the back door.

I didn’t know W.Va had gay bars. I thought they just went out to their local barnyard for entertainment.

Orson,

Totally understand the postings on WVU. I actually took the time at work yesterday and cut out a picture of Steve Slaton and Pat White for my office cube.

 I am offically in the 8th grade again.

You need to get a job in the marketing department at WVU.

Former men’s soccer coach Bobby Clark, who left in 2001 for Notre Dame, said, "Two kids, one in each of our last two years, were turned down, and both got into Harvard. One was our top (recruited) player.’’

This is what happens when you let liberal rug munchers at the controls. I always thought Stanford was cool because it was as good a school as Harvard thinks it is, and as good in sports as anyone else too. Plus, lets not forget those athletes get lots of tutoring that regular students don’t even get a sniff on.

It’s like Stanford has gotten so arrogant, they expect Sergey Brin & Larry Page to be lining up against USC as well as starting Fortune 500 companies.

Godspeed, Hoepp. I wish I were more optimistic about this than I am.

When’s the Does Stanford Exist? podcast?

#4-

for a while there my sleep deprived brain thought the quotes kept flowing into the second paragraph until something didn’t seem right.

Brian, I like your passion, but somewhere along about the ‘liberal rug munchers at the controls’ I think I lost the point…is the Stanford Junior Farm now directed by said Munchers, or is this just a general pejorative for all those in admin positions at that school? Are they all female, and therefore the equivalent of a male pillow biter/butt pirate? Just curious.

Regardless, rug munching-the act, whether done liberally or conservatively, with the right partner, is customarily a good thing. But is it still ‘rug munching’ without the rug, I mean with the prevalence of a ‘Brazilian wax’, there seem to be fewer and fewer actual rugs…

Its a pejorative for people who don’t get that schools do indeed benefit from being good at sports as well as research and learning. While I can not empirically back this statement up, Its sad to see a classy place like that end up sucking at revenue sports, when un-classy schools like your Fulmer cup top dogs are conference contenders, if not more.

I have to say I was torn between “granola bitches” and “rug munchers” and the later won out.

Orson, your posit on “strong drinks at gay bars” is interesting, but since its all about dropping inhibition and gettin’ laid, wouldn’t that also mean that your average ‘meat market’ would be slingin’ strong drinks, too? Or are these strong drinks from the particular bartender who desires the favor of your attention during his break? Just curious…

Brian, like both your pejoratives, and your choice was the better of the two as ‘granola bitches’ is more a Cal Berkeley thing, which while certainly guided by ridiculously liberal tenets, is more populated with randy wenches of the non-rug munching variety than the Farm. At least thats been my experience.

Indiana welcomes it’s new Football overlord, Mike Shula, who is no stranger to picking up a Football team in the summer. (and then putting them down 4 years later)

Uh, sorry, Mike Shula is currently occupied in Jacksonville. You’ll have to wait a year for him to become available for Indiana, but I happen to know he’s looking forward to the wonderful opportunities available in your lovely state.

As promised, I’m amusing the hell out of myself (and only myself) by pretending not to know that’s Tebow. Will I keep this up as long as Swindle’s in the bracket? Probably.

i think the gay bar cheap drink thing is all about the bartender wanting to sleep with you. and the owner of the bar wanting to sleep with you. and the older creepy guy who keeps buying you drinks wanting to sleep with you. lots of wanting to sleep with you. what is really nice is the free drinks. those come with added rohypnal.

adam… I’m not sure the free drinks are worth the mental picture you so ably painted. Yuck.

IU has already tried the SEC retread route with predictable results.

The last three coaches they’ve had who posted any sort of success or even promise were John Pont (‘67 Rose Bowl), Bill Mallory, and Hoepp. All three came from Miami. Our current guy, fortunately and unfortunately, hasn’t established the kind of track record yet that will have Rick Greenspan knocking on his door if they decide they have to get another coach.

Make us proud Holly. Besides it sounds like you’re gonna be a Holly Sandwich wit’ dos guys who are destined to fall outta the bracket…

sb—Hardly. Sexxxytime is for closers.

Holly…that’s right, keep ’em straight, uh, the other way.

Question 4: Would you have sex with a tree?

I’m a little lost here. I took a look at the brackets they have, and it seems with a first round win you’d then be slated to go up against the #2 seed if they win. These must be women running the bracket because of all the pink. Are they the same people that currently run the BCS?

Cult of Personality sounds awesome any time, day or night.

Rome, dude, don’t you know nice things come in pink? Literally and figuratively.

Re: the BCS…if Holly and her minions were running it, it could only improve.

I have to cover a ballgame every Tuesday night, but knowing I can listen to the podcast on the commute – awesome.

Now if I can only get my podcast not to be teh suk, we might be getting somewhere.

In defense of West Virginia, … uh… um… hmm… crap, I’ve got nothing.

But there’s definitely a multi-tiered “culture” here and certainly a portion of us who just shake our heads when video’s like the above first appear and brace ourselves for the anticipated blog posts.

“It is a concern, that’s the best I can say.”

That’s the best he can say? I hope I never end up working at IU and get sick. Jeez.

Does “Cult of Personality” sound better at 6:36a than “Glamour Boys” sounds terrible at any hour?

Shameless Vote-Pandering: Swindle/Tebow’s got a cakewalk, but PB’s got himself a battle against a freaking Aggie. Y’all go vote for him already. He lets us cuss on the radio and is supafly.

#28, yes…“Glamour Boys”, which never sounds good is suggestive of the homoerotic androgynous ’80’s english bands that were heavy on makeup and synthesizers an’ shit. If you were a Florida fan in the late ’80’s early ’90’s you might have made fun of the reFSU “Glitter Boys”, also reminiscent of the sexual confusion prevalent at that institution.

Speaking of photos you’re using, what the hell is that thing you’ve got as an avatar over at FanHaus? It looks almost human, but not quite.

I don’t even like going to a dance club because they’re crowded, smoky, loud, and play shitty techno music…and there are women there. No fuckin way I’m going to a gay bar. Techno music + No women = Hell.

Orson is DESTROYING in the poll. Nice work fellas. The E continues to be the best read on the web, you have to wonder how much vodka it takes to fuel the incessant hilarity.

Don’t put yourself down, Orson. Robin thought you were cute.

Holly,

 thanks for the heads up to vote against PB.

 he looks like a geek in that picture. tell him to go visit a weight room already.

Nothing wrong with Aggies, Holly.

Besides, PB looks like he needs a visit to the weight room in that pic.

Orson, you appear to be more the bastard son of Rick Moranis and Steve Albini.
