BLOGTOBERFEST! OWEN SCHMITT MOHAWK EDITION.

Further proof that you SEC types don’t know dick about the West Coast, let alone West Coast football.

“Rankin also plans on punching a hole through the Olympia Mountains just to give the people on the other side some fresh air.”

They’re the OLYMPIC Mountains, not Olympia. And, as the Olympics lie to the West of Seattle, on the Olympic Penninsula (wonder where they got that name?), the only thing on the other side of them is a few small burgs and the damn Pacific Ocean. You probably meant The Cascades, which lie to the east of Seattle, and separate us good, flannel wearing, latte drinking grunge types from the hillbillies.

Seriously, you really ought to learn abit about the left half of the country. Start by watching some Pac-10 football, then continue on to maps and atlases.

"may God strike me dead if I use that word"

what word? diet?? vegetable?? fupa???

the thought of White, Slaton, Devine, and Schmitt in the backfield at once gives me a Wildcat-esqe erection. Sweet mother of god I love the option.

gerry, the word you are looking for is “panis”

The success of the option depends on a ‘coked up’ #4 with freakish historic ’85 Oklahoma video game attributes.

If you want his real name in the game, you go to ebay and ‘buy it now’ for 26.99 to download the roster names.

You can do that or edit the name yourself and type in
Holieway….Jamelle. For correct spelling, check McIntosh County’s records where our former great was arrested for possession on 7/23. Sadly, it was only the tweeds that he was caught with…and NO WEAPONS…Holieway has clearly lost his competitive spirit.

boomer sooner!

USCPCT—

We have no idea what you’re saying. Could you type that in bumpkin, please? And set it to some thumping bluegrass-it’s the only noise we can learn to.

don’t worry about him Orson. By now, he’s off at his Sierra Club meeting in his car fueled entirely by his own sense of self-satisfaction.

No one knows about those Mountains because no one cares. Duh. When your town is run by Nerds, suicidal rockers, and King Coffee, that’s how you get treated.

Notre Dame fans can be masters of doublethink at times. I love how the article talks about the brave 5th year seniors coming back and also compares Ty’s recruits to a kidney stone passing through the system.

Travis’ conference challenge idea would be great, but I’d be happy with more teams just playing legit, non-cupcake, OOC games.

I really like Clay Travis’s idea about playing conference on conference tilts the first weekend of the season. I like even more how it screws over Notre Dame. I, along with every other SEC fan, would like to play any team in the Pac 10 other than USC.

It’s Gold, Jerry.

Sorry #1, please don’t bust a map in Orson’s ass.

#9,
The reason it’s not doubthink is that the problem with Ty’s classes were that they had some good players (Tom Z was a 4-star recruit, e.g.) but they had no depth. So ND never was playing with a full deck. That’s why the lack of consistent quality can lead to characterizing Ty’s last two classes as “working through like a kidney stone” and yet the few good players that have hung around can be praised. It’s slightly inaccurate to say “Ty’s recruits”; it should be “Ty’s recruiting classes”.

Update on ND player busted for solicitation:

Derrell Hand is innocent! Derrell Hand is innocent!

Turns out, Mr. Hand was just looking for summer employment. Unfortunately, racist South Bend cops don’t take into account the black athlete’s (and a certain black head coach) propensity to refer to themselves in the third person. So, when Derrell said he was “looking for a Hand job; good money,” it was a huge misunderstanding.

I’m glad to see that Clay Travis combs the message boards for ideas:

The Cascades, which lie to the east of Seattle, and separate us good, flannel wearing, latte drinking grunge types from the hillbillies.

Easy there….I’m one of those hillbillies!! Sumhow, I manngd too maik it hear on wes’ sied of dem hills.

Who cares if they know which mountains are which? You sound like one of the uptight Seattleites.

Personally, I hope the rest of the country has delusions like Brian at #8, there’s enough people (’specially Californians) here already.

This is GOLD Jerry…GOLD!

• Florida State: Quarterback controversy rages on at FSU, where Xavier Lee leaps to field a high snap from the shotgun, pump fakes, steps up into the pocket to escape onrushing ends, spins away from a blitzing linebacker, jukes a fourth rusher while simultaneously powering through the arm tackle of a fifth, escapes into the flat with a frothing Mickey Andrews in pursuit on a suped-up moped (Chuck Amato is in the sidecar) and heaves a pass out of bounds that collapses an entire section of the brick facade surrounding the Doak Campbell sideline from the practice field as six defenders pound him into the turf, and Drew Weatherford calmly underthrows a six-yard slant route.

1. 9 oc phil – “I’d be happy with more teams just playing legit, non-cupcake, OOC games.”

I hear ya brother, but what would impress me more would be if SoCal played more legit, non-cupcake conference games.

Uh….I don’t think Mangino’s going to make it down to 385…this is him on Sunday morning (who the fuck schedules their open practices for 9am Sunday morning? KU football, that’s who. Marketing geniuses! Still, I managed to down a plate of french toast and a beer before things kicked off).

His shirt ate his neck!!

HOW MANY FABRIC SWATCHES HAD TO DIE TO MAKE YOUR SHIRT MANGINO?!?!

what would impress me more would be if SoCal played more legit, non-cupcake conference games.

Ah, the Les Miles school of conference motivation. Kindly stop riling Oregon, Cal, and UCLA. Thanks.

Holy crap, it used to be all fun and games joking about the time and space distortion that is Mangino. Now his morbid obesity is tragic and sad.

Get Shaq on the line, I’ve got a great idea for his next TV show: Mangino, Amstutz, Weis! Can Shaq get these guys into walking shape while they try to turn their cellar-dweller teams around? He could do it for middle-schoolers, why not middle-ranked Div. 1 coaches?

1. - Duly noted.

btw – have you signed with Honda yet to qualify to wear a mu-mu?

The post-season must be worked out before anything like the “Doritos Conference Challenge brought to you by AIG Financial” could be even approached. Now no potentially great teams would be willing to suffer a possible early season loss because with rare exception it will prevent you from having a shot at the title.
I gop back and forth on whether we should move to a 4 team playoff or just say fuck it and go back to the old system of letting the good people at ESPN pick the national champ(s). The “powers that (ought not) be” have to know that no one is buying this bullshit excuse for a championship selection process. Fl people, just imagine if half the people at ESPN had gotten their wish and UM and OSU had a rematch….its really pitiful.

Also, can Slaton or Devine block?

Actually, I’d rather see WVU run the single wing than the wishbone.
 No need to put White under center when he does so well from the sohtgun, and White, Slaton, Schmitt, and Devine in a Spin series would be poetry in motion.
 They’d frame that shit and put it in the Louvre.

 Also, Owen Schmitt running the buck lateral series from the single wing would just be plain unfair.

Good Lord…. Mangino is FAT!!! And fat people should not wear red.

CBG, how unfortunate, then, for Nebraskans and Wisconsinites.

“…fried tapir nuggets…” man, that is a true example of a fertile mind…three words I never thought I’d see strung together to produce one disgusting image…I salute you Orson. No really.

#12, the operative clause is “So ND never was playing with a full deck.” I couldn’t agree more.

#17, it’s true, honest, I saw it. Long live Blobby…

I’ll bet Mangino would be hard to hug.

Ok, I can’t find the post, but I SWEAR I posted that idea about conference challenges on a thread here at least a month ago. I said how we could have an SEC/PAC-10 challenge like the ACC/BIG Televen challenge in basketball, and that it could all be played on one Saturday…. Dammit, why can’t I find that post!?!?!

PeterPH – you did, I remember it because I posted a very similar idea on the MZone last spring/winter (and on the same thread as you here after your post) and I remember thinking how others have the same idea.

eric y: Out of conference is out of his mind.
jay whitlow: Agreed.

1. - SEC Logic (stand back and be afraid)

So USC destroys SEC West champion Arkansas in a game decided in about 5 minutes for the second year in a row; combined scores – USC 120 Arkansas 31 (most of which are garbage points.)

Then they go into conference play, squeaking out victories on the last play in games decided by 6 (Wash St) 6 (Wash) and 7 points (ASU) before losing to Oregon St.

SEC fans think they need to play tougher IN conference games…

Ya know I don’t think there is anything I can say, you are just too far gone in homerland if you believe that.

mangino cannot be hugged, not even with nuke-lear arms :(

I think Lieutenant Michael Winslow should be applauded at least for the stunning sound effects he makes with his mouth.

nd has never rebuilt, you don’t rebuild a building, especially a rock solid building like UND!
