ILLINOISE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BAILS

My word [NAME REDACTED] sucked. Now I am mad all over again. Happy Kitties Happy Kitties

that picture makes me angry.

DOCTOR SCRATCHUMS BREAKS FREE FOR TOUCHDOWNS AND BELLY RUBS!!!

Oh, speaking of the Outback Bowl and [NAME REDACTED]… how did 2004’s New Year’s treat you guys? Hmm?

All I have in me right now is “That was Grossman’s last play in his college career, you fucktobastard!!!!”.

How many freaking Mallories can one program promote to DC?

When will [NAME REDACTED] understand that he has never been a good defensive coordinator? 31-31 UF-FSU is all I need to say. Bye Bye Illini. I hope you don’t have Mississippi St. on the schedule this year. BTW, please don’t post anymore pictures with [NAME REDACTED] in Gator Garb. Thank you.

Ahhh .. the 2003 Outback bowl .. I strangely remember what it’s like to win a bowl game. Ahhhhhhh
Thank you

Like this, OPS:

That done—has Iowa learned to properly execute an onside kick yet? That’s important stuff, ya know?

@Pete, Lou Tepper was busy on a book signing tour.

Man, I hope Illinois fans are happy about another great recruiting class, becuase that little thing called “gameday” is going to provide a cruel dose of reality.

Of course there was friction, rumor has it due to Vince Okruch’s failure to institue the prevent style defense in the third quarter of every game, regardless of score.

I think a lot of us still remember what it’s like to wake up for a 10:30 kickoff on new year’s morning.

No problem: Just make Arrellious Benn Illinois’ defensive coordinator.

“Now this be some sacks right here.”

Not that you didn’t know this, but the pleased puss in the picture is toting a rugby ball…

Orson, you callous bastard. You know good and goddamned well that Greenway was not off-sides on that play.

The wisdom of spotting the Gators a 24-point lead in the first place, on the other hand, might deserve to be called into question.

Well, what pussy wouldn’t be pleased to be the object of a good rucking?

Oh.

I’ll get me coat.

Rugby does have hookers, DC—both on the field, and on the sidelines in the form of rugby cheerleaders, who wear outfits many streetwalkers would consider whorish.

Rugby does have hookers, DC

I shouldn’t even admit this, but my very brief high school rugby career was in that position – too small to be a prop, too slow to be a back, and too dumb to feel the fear.

This is Illinois we’re talking about. They could have Pete Carrol or Sweatervest on the sidelines and they would still be Illinois, which means they’ll still suck donkey balls. I understand that hating on [NAME REDACTED] is fun. But when it comes to Illinois losing their DC will it really matter in the end? I guess they’ll now lose to OSU and Michigan by 40+ instead of only 35 points.

Oops Pow Surprise: +1 on #3.

2003 Capital One bowl against Michigan

I think that was the Outback Bowl.

1. Me too DC, I just have to replace “high school” with “USC”.

I enjoyed the sport till my leg snapped.

Discretion is the Better Part of Valor Dept:

I was heavily “recruited” to play rugby on a grad school team. Why? (They desperately needed players to practice and at least have a complete team and play in “tournaments”.) One day, I see the biggest guy in the class (6’6" ~250lbs) with a face that looks like it lost to a meat grinder, and ask him, “what happened”? He said he had an incident during a practice rugby game. I promptly chickened out of the team faster than the French against the Germans….

I play rugby, I’m a prop. Our job is to support the hooker. Insert your favorite joke here.

Oh, and those “hookers” on the sideline are “rugger huggers.”

OC Phil, I took one look at the size of the guys playing club rugby at SC and decided against it.

SKLM, a close look at the “ears” of most forwards during the national anthems prior to an international would have the same effect.

MCab, good on you -it’s a position for men of stern character… The only reassurance I had in scrums was that at least I wasn’t going to get dropped. Crushed, possibly, but not dropped.

Speaking of Moms, how long until Ma Swindle joins EDSBSL again?

I played prop and hooker for a few years for clubs in France and Holland. That kitty in the photo is spending a lot more time with the ball than I ever did. I never scored a try, but I did get into a fight. I also got carried out of a bar in Barcelona on a rugby trip and redecorated the sidewalks a bit. I figure that’s a pretty good career everything considered.

#24: Yeah the USC team had some behemouths who didn’t make as football walk ons. I think the the smaller of the two props when I played was 6’7" and about 280 lbs. Then the “skill positions” tended to be foreign players who grew up with the game.

I gave rugby a try since soccer got “title 9ed” as a varsity sport and If I was going to play a club sport I might as well try something new. I didn’t make it to the first actual game though. I learned the hard way that I couldn’t run through one of those massive guys and I got crunched in practice.
