COULDN'T BLAME THE COACHES FOR SHOOTING THEM AFTERWARDS.
It is Friday, so that means tons of Youtube and little in the way of original content, because a four-day work week does drain one, no?
Your slice of reheated content today: Kirk Herbstreit, who with the collusion of some blasphemously bad tackling by the Minnesota defense runs for 72 yards for a touchdown as a white option quarterback. Again: unless you're facing Eric Crouch, this is defensive gross negligence at its most outrageous.
One hundred cocktails! to Fowler for suggesting to Herbstreit that he "act like you've been there before."

100 more cocktails to Fowler for saying that he looks like Tim Tebow…

Rollin’ with the Double-D (as he most certainly was) from a shy but adventurous math major is sure to keep even the most motivated player from “gettin’ low” on the tackle. Wind sprints? Speed conditioning? Bollocks!! Herbie’s running game was based purely on the added benefits of slappin’ fat with the heat on high.

Hate to do this guys, but I seem to remember another Husker QB who did similar things against your team in the 95 Fiesta Bowl…

By the way, 95 Nebraska is the best all-time team on NCAA 0X.

We said “white option quarterback.” You never forget your first prison sodomy.

Speaking of Fowler, might you guys be due for a preseason update to the ‘People We Love/People We Hate’ posting?

Capital idea. Will boot it up for next week.

Ahhh….I missed the operative word there: White. Sorry for the flashbacks.

If you put one hundred cocktails in front of Fowler on the GameDay set, I suspect Corso would drink at least 82 of them.
What an idiot.

Chris Fowler will have the Bud Select low carb beer, please.

How the crowd didn’t storm the field and summarily rip the Goofers asunder is beyond me.

I picture Fowler as more of an appletini guy.

Neil and Orson,
Great idea….especially on the “people we like” end. It might be a nice novelty to discuss ESPN personalities we actually like, for a change.

RedDevil – I was thinking something similar – however it’s probably more like a vodka and Tab – gotta watch those carbs.
by PSUgirl on Jul 6, 2007 12:54 PM EDT reply actions
Oh, and I completely concur with the “Appletini” image of Fowler…except when he’s really wanting to get wide, then it’s on to the maragritas. Frozen only, of course…and no salt on the rim, please: that’s just icky.

I see Fowler as one of those high-metabolism guys that are so popular in these parts.

GameDay crew at WB – nice! I’m sure we lost that one.

UT – I see it now – yes, we lost that one.

Fowler deserves 100 cocktails (or whatever) for dealing with the GameDay crew from week to week.
Is it wrong to suggest that the Minnesota defense there should get ONE HUNDRED HA’S OF LAUGHTER for their inability to tackle Herbstreit? I mean, I know you mentioned the gross negligence of the defense; but I must disagree. It wasn’t negligence, it was incompetence! #55’s attempt to pounce on Herbstreit combined with #13’s closing off his other direction should have been the end of that play. Such sloppy, sloppy tackling!

DON’T EVER SHOW HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT GOPHER COLLAPSE AGAIN, SIRS!
That was worse than the Michigan collapse a few years ago. It was even worse than the Texas Tech bowl game’s arm tackling.

Did anyone else catch the Mexican flag behind the set? Seems mighty out of place at a major southern university.

I always pictured Fowler as a “Schmitz Gay” kind of guy.

I’m going to be hiding under my desk, crying.
Oops Pow Surprise, I think the reason that they survived was because there were more security guards than fans during the Gutekunst/Wacker era when that run occurred.
Swindle: Why?

Brewster, as a Hawkeye, I have many fond memories of the Air Wacker era.
None of the fond memories include the Iowa uniforms of the time. Yeesh.

Oops Pow Surprise, it was a golden age for plenty of people. It was a great time to be a young White Speed Receiver dreaming of improving the Gophers. Of course, it was also a great time to be an offensive player against them. I believe Mike Alstott still sends us fruit baskets.
by Brewster Crew on Jul 6, 2007 2:18 PM EDT reply actions
I spotted the Mexican flag as well.
I remember when the NFL did an expo game at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium. Soccer fields aren’t meant to take the trampings of 22 +200lb football players, and sure enough, that field was nicely tilled.

It’s a Kappa Sigma fraternity flag as best as I can tell.

Exactly how long do you think that discussion would take? I put the O/U at 30 seconds.
by drogue on Jul 6, 2007 3:51 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah, but at least it would be an exercise of sorts….I mean, it’s gotten to the “shooting fish in a barrel” stage to bash ’em. I can actually think of a couple of people on the WWL that I enjoy, between TV and Radio…..

Jebush, I always knew there was a reason I hated Fowler besides the fact that he’s a self-absorbed prick… I just couldn’t put my finger on it until you said that. Bastard.
by PeterPumpkinhead on Jul 6, 2007 4:15 PM EDT reply actions
It’s definitely a Kappa Sigma flag. The emblem is the right shape and the Mexican flag has green toward the pole, or hoist side.

Re #14. What the hell is a maragrita, frozen or otherwise? How do you make one and will it cause you to get overserved? How about leighed? Inquiring minds want to know.

Anyone else get the scene from Ferris Bueller when Cameron sees the mileage on his dad’s car when #19 Sean broke the internets with his comment?

Orson,
That has to be in the top 25 for all-time gayest endzone celebrations, both individually and collectively. Not sure what was worse, the tackling or the dancing…very funny.
Also, I’m here in Freakville (Jacksonville for those of you who don’t know) visiting some soon to be family and I have to say, you fuckers really get a hard on when you see a guy with an Ohio State shirt on walking the streets in Florida or dining at a restaurant…talk about acting like you been there. I’ve yet to have someone come up and speak to me directly to my face, but I’ve heard my share of comments, finger-pointing, and whispering.

IT’S COLLEGE FOOTBALL! (and Basketball)
IT’S THE BIG TEEEEN!
IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, STOP PLAYING INTRAMURAL!
Also, please countersign the deed when it arrives. The hiring freeze at UF continues until we get the added revenue from THE University of Florida at Columbus coming in.

Reporter: Coach, what do you think about the execution of the defense?
Coach: I’m all for it.

You might as well start searching for new revenue streams, looks like that guy from Ohio (you know the one who out coached the other guy from Ohio, did I mention that Stoops is from Ohio too?) earned himself a nice little raise when Billy came back. And how about a little bit of humility considering you have the state of Ohio to thank for both of your National Championships.
Fat midwesterners?

Was wondering how long the retort about someone we actually like at ESPN would take.
Level of difficulty gets an order of magnitude higher if I make you omit any mention of Bob Ley and/or Outside The Lines. In fact, you might be well and truly screwed. Point of order, I dare you to make a positive point with Pam Ward at the crux of it.
