TRAITOR'S DRAFT ONE (BELATED)
We're slow getting to this--but we've been busy with that purple drank and getting Joel to make Blake dance. Peter had a post re: the players you'd like to steal from other teams regardless of how vile their current affiliation might be to you. (E.g. Texas fan drafting Aggie, Florida fan drafting Nole, Stanford fan drafting poor person...you understand.)
The EDSBS Traitor's Draft must include the following picks:
Glenn Dorsey, DT LSU. Once we went fishing off Destin with a crusty old redneck friend. At 5:30 in the morning, no one felt too talkative in the car. A flabby, shirtless power walker strode along the road, his rolls giggling to themselves in the early morning sun. Crusty old redneck friend, his voice cut by years of Marlboro Reds, said simply as we passed him: "Good morning, fatass."

Good morning, fatass. We only mean that in the best possible way.
Good morning, Glenn Dorsey, just the fatass defensive tackle we want to draft onto the Florida Gators. 6' 2", 300 pounds, and could double as a riot control barrier if he had to in a pinch. Dorsey's huge, but possessed of a supernatural quickness you've come to yawn at on the mind-boggling LSU roster.
Can make math very difficult for an offensive coordinator looking to maintain protection, since he'll draw double teams or take in two blockers through sheer gravitational attraction.
Dicky Lyons, Jr., WR, Kentucky. Demonstrated a first rate temperament by not leaving Kentucky when Joker Phillips, Wildcat offensive coordinator, insisted on calling incoming recruit Richard Lyons, Jr. "Dicky" like his father. Also demonstrated gecko hands on this one-handed catch against Mississippi State:
And finally, showed off some vanilla pimpin' in his team photo and in a now-vanished video where Dickie got down like whoa. Not a preseason All-SEC pick, and shouldn't be, since he only had 271 yards of receiving last year. However, every team needs a white wide receiver with amazing hands and a little shameless WWE flair. Dicky Lyons is that guy based on style alone. (Hey, Florida's already got 35 wide receivers on the roster. We can afford the fashion pick.)
Quentin Groves, Auburn. Holy smoking hell--Groves single-handedly disintegrated Florida's offense in the second half of last year's game, so he makes this list by default. Tuberville always seems to have one speedy, menacing defensive end who laughs at your sad attempts to block him, and Groves occupies that spot again this year. We draft him just to take him off of your depth chart, Auburn fans, even if he can (like any quarterback-hungry defensive end) get plowed from time to time on run plays.

Well, sure.
Andre Smith, OT, Alabama. Not a genius pick here--Andre Smith is 6'4", 340, big off the run blocks and downright obstructive in pass protection. Worse still for those attempting to get past him, he's just entering his sophomore year and will likely be even nimbler than he was this year thanks to Alabama's recent slimming-down of their linemen in offseason conditioning.
Oh,and he runs the tackle eligible nicely, too. Being the trick play whores we are, this makes Andre an automatic traitor's draft pick. He can do this, as well.
...which is nice.

No theft of Humanity Advanced for that nifty option package down in Gainesville?

Arkansas would love to poach a QB from USC. They have a kid, formerly #1 rated HS QB named Mitch something. He’d be a great fit for the Hogs.

Honestly, I don’t have a particular player, so much as a position that I’d like to draft, and that’s a QB…any QB.
Currently, Brent Schaeffer is getting beat out by a former walk on transfer from Delta State. Yes, a former Fighting Okra QB is leading for the starting QB job over a former Volunteer QB. We’re in a world of hurt right now. I’d be ecstatic to have Casey Dick at this point.

Traitor draft, huh? We could use a receiver at Minnesota for our new EXCITING! spread offense. Mario Manningham would be a nice fit.
by Brewster Crew on Jun 27, 2007 9:57 AM EDT reply actions
ya know rebel84, if you take Casey Dick away, we’re left with a transfer from Missouri Southern and another Dick. I totally emphasize with the shitty QB situation.
However, this Mitch youngster at USC sounds interesting…does he have an overbearing mother? We LOVE those!

Rutgers could use an upgrade at QB. Sorry Mike Teel, but if I can grab, say, Brian Brohm from Louisville – I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Defense for Rutgers was solid, but graduation leaves them a little thin at linebacker. Brandon Renkart and Manny Abreu could use a strong middle linebacker to help them out. Ben Moffitt and his 112 tackles last year for USF would be a great fit. I’d take him.
Receivers were a problem for Rutgers last year too. As much as I like Kenny Britt’s upside; I’d be happy if Rutgers could swing Darius Reynaud of West Fucking Virginia or Mario Urrutia of Louisville. Actually, Urrutia is taller and could reach for those “misfires” that come from Teel from time to time. Screw it, I’m raiding Louisville. Urrutia to Rutgers!
So it’s Brohm, Moffitt, and Urrutia to the Block R. Yep. Now I’m off to See Ray Run (type it in one of those URLs).

Coming from an Ole Miss family I’d say that until Colonel Rebel is traded or given a proper burial the team is perenially fucked. Karma’s a bitch in a sundress and heels.

spiller or slaton would be nice at UF. mcfadden too, of course, but the other two are perfectly fit for some crazy option fun.

I’d like a somewhat proven qb at tOSU. Does Jamarcus Russell have the super power where he can clone himself? Also, in Round 2 I’d take Percy Harvin or maybe Mario Manningham. How white of a name is Brian Robiskie? That can’t be good, right?

The scary thing about the Hogs’ backfield is, if you told me I couldn’t have McFadden but left me Felix Jones, I’d still be pretty happy.

So is this simply a steal a player or is it I’d trade this player for that?
Will anyone be able to steal Jerrell Powe? Maybe he could go to USC. I think his mom and Beck Campbell would get along well.

It’s too bad Baylor’s Bearmeat hasn’t gotten in on this. My guess is they would take John David Crow and Tony Nobis (as they are in present day) and put them at their old offensive positions.
Would suiting up a pair of 70 year olds help them on the field? no. But when you are Baylor, the glee of watching Texas and TAMU players forcibly crush their own school’s icons might warm a cockle or two.

ya know Billy – Peyton Hillis and Mike Smith aren’t bad #3 and #4 options either. If only we had a QB who could complete, say, 55% of his passes?

Re: Andre Smith video – reminds me of Richard Pryor talking about George Foreman – “Which one the referee? ‘Cause I’m gonna kill the other motherfucker.”
For the Longhorns, I’d draft that walking eclipse of an Aggie fullback (Javorski Lane?) – pains me to say it, but we could use that guy.

To No. 12, we have many other things besides Colonel Reb that are mucking up our karma. He’s the least of our karma worries.
Don’t get me wrong. We’re a sorry ass athletic program, but other sorry ass athletic programs have Cinderella years where it all falls into place (see Northwestern’s Rose Bowl, Wake Forest 2006, Mississippi State’s Final Four, etc.). Whenever we do have a team capable of making a Cinderella run, we end up with Bryce Drew or the Lou Groza winner missing 2 FGs in a 3 point loss to eventual national champion LSU. Karma not only hates us, but Karma has sex with our wives in front of us and laughs about it.

Jerkwheat, I’ve always wondered whether the Wildcat package was a reflection of Houston Nutt just liking his running backs so much that he decided to cut out the middle man on handoffs, or his complete lack of confidence in Casey Dick to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Oh and folks a note on my esteemed Mr. Dorsey — he played most of last season with a stress fracture in his leg (actually thats really why he didn’t come out in the draft). Be afraid. Be very afraid.

It’s gone under-reported, but UofL, after yrs of very balanced offense, was forced to be pass-heavy last yr, and I fear we’re no better this yr. So I’ll take me some Ray Rice, since Slaton will shirley be gone by the time I pick.

Watchoo Takin’ Bout’ Dept:
- - Allahver Fist – Very interesting comment about trading Colonel Rebel to another team.
How about sending Col Rebel on permanent loan to Grambling Univ, and getting a new mascot, perhaps the first Black one in college football.
Yeah, how about Gary Coleman. The “Ole Miss Fighting Gary Colemans”. He is still working (union scale), kind of entertaining and is so little, like Notre Dame’s Leperchaun, that he would not strike that much fear into the fans of Ole Miss, especially those that still dress like Potsie, Joanie and Ralph Mouph at their games.

Since we are TB heavy, I will pass on McFadden. However, I would love to have Tebow, paired with Davis and Spiller. Korn can watch in awe and start hitting the “supplements.”
So…
1. Tebow
2. Andre Smith
3. Texas WR named Limas or Maningham
4. Dorsey
5. Jasper Brinkley – would fit nicely

I feel the Ole Miss alumni could be persuaded for a Fighting Gary Coleman, but his kidneys are only so-so and thus his shelf life is weak. If cloning technology could allow the Fighting Colemans to keep a lineage it could happen. Who wouldn’t want to take their grandkids by the habitat to see the ferocious Gary Coleman IV? Probably a sweatshirt promo deal in there too.

For those that don’t know, in the wake of losing Colonel Reb from the sidelines, we have unofficially replaced him with a former drummer from our band named Marcus.
Marcus is about 6’5, 200 (meaning skinny), with an afro that puts him somewhere close to the 6’10 range. He was in our band for 5 or 6 years I think (don’t tell the NCAA or we’ll get the death penalty), and now he roams the sideline with a microphone in front of the student section. There is just a little bit of irony in all of this somewhere.

Robert – 37 – I think we’d just as easily grab a few of the second stringers as well. I wish we were even half as well stacked at O-line as we are on defense.

Me-Sean Jackson? Why would Trojan fans want Me-Sean Jackson when he brings us so more joy getting shut down by our CBs, and killed by our linebackers and tackles. My favorite moment of the season was watching MeSean lying on the ground helmet-less and crying for his mommy (see here: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/stewart_mandel/06/21/10.games/index.html)
On the other hand, are we allowed to draft coaches? I’d love to have Boise St’s Chris Petersen as an O-Coordinator.

New AZ- That seems a strange pick to me. WR is the only unit on the team not made up of mostly (or all) veteran players at USC this year. They have great potential but Turner is the only one who has played much so far.
Sorry there is no payroll.
