YO YO YO YO YOOOO…FIGHTIN’ OKRA TO QB AT OLE MISS?
The great search for a quarterback at Ole Miss–now four years and running following the departure of Eli Manning from Oxford–may have reached an improbable conclusion in the form of one ferocious piece of fighting okra, Delta State transfer Seth Adams.
Brent SCHAEF-FAH, lauded transfer from Tennessee via the College of the Sequoias, was supposed to be the starter going into 2007, but fizzled last year as starter with a 9/10 TD/INT ratio and an underwhelming on-field presence as signal-caller. Enter Seth Adams, a former Delta State Fighting Okra who went 16 for 20 in the spring game and has “a leg up” in the competition according to Ole Miss head coach/manbeast Ed Orgeron.
Correct, reader: Ole Miss’ potential quarterback is a transfer from Delta State. YO YO YO YO YOOOOOO, YO YOOOOO…OK-RA!!! This should be immensely fun, especially given the fact that Adams gives everyone a chance to say the words “Fighting Okra” at least a zillion times over the nexy season.
Delta State’s Fighting Okra: qb mill for the Orgeron.
Don’t mock the name, either. As anyone whose eaten more than a small serving of okra at a time, okra does indeed fight, albeit in your lower intestine mostly. It’ll run through you with a Patton-esque speed and determination, a connection the designers of the Delta State outfit must have had in mind when they stitched together that turdulent, Mr. Hankey outfit seen above.

I can eat okra anytime but has anyone here heard of the All American Football League! I’s a Spring league and I am amazed at how many people are talking about this. I saw it on the web, youtube, talk radio and other spots blogs. Check this site out..

Imagine, two seasons filled with the pageantry of the college game. I’m pretty sure Alabama will have a team as well as Tennesse, Florida, Texas, Michigan, Mississippi and Arkansas. Check this site out:

I don’t know when tickets will be available but I’ll be in the front of the line when they are.

To Seth Adams defense Scott Eister was the QB at Delta St. the last few years and was tremedous. He was a two-time All-American and tore apart the record books. If he had been taller he would have been a big-time D1 QB. However, SA still didn’t start there so we’ll see… I think the real story here is how bad Brent Shaeffer is to even allow this guy to be in the hunt for playing time… I mean seriously BS was the first true freshman to start his first game at QB in SEC history and then goes on to tear apart the JUCO ranks… Biggest bust ever.

And it looks as if the Rebels will suck… again… coach Cut gets fired after 4-7 and “the O” is still trying to maintain that record. Did you boys know that Ole Miss is the only school in the history of recruiting to sign THE SAME 5 star recruit three years in a row? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… But Powe rhymes with O so i guess that’s where the loyalty lies…
if you live in Oxford as I do you can hear the big “O” screaming day in and day out (that’s not just the coeds)… you won’t know what the hell he’s saying… who speaks coonass in north central MS?
RTR…

Just a technicality, but deep fried okra is only an acceptable substitute. It’s sliced, battered and frozen for commercial Meat-and-three type establishments.
Nobody’s grandmother deep fried, properly it’s breaded with cornmeal and pan fried in a skillet.
It tastes like “To Kill A Mockingbird” reads.
