A.M. BLOGTOBERFEST: SEC/BRENT SCHAEF-FAH EDITION
Your soundtrack this morning: the melodious sounds of Rammstein, saluting the sun like only German metal schlock gods can.
Brent Schae-fah, former insta-starter for the Ole Miss Rebels at quarterback, has lost the sheen one might instantly associate with a College of the Sequoias transfer and has been moved from qb to wide receiver. Orgeron admitted at SEC Media Days that guaranteeing Schaeffer the starting job coming out of junior college, where he’d spent a semester after getting the boot from Tennessee for beating the daylights out of a fellow student in a dorm…was a mistake.
Delta State transfer Seth Adams will get the start for the Rebels. Schaeffer will attempt to learn wideout and race Xavier Lee in the contest for biggest recruiting bust currently still enrolled in D-1 football.
In Starkganistan, Sylvester Croom had a succinct PR strategy ready to go after an abysmally hot and frustrating practice.
“Short conversation, gentlemen. There was nothing good at practice today. Any questions?â€
Then, per his role as Black Wilford Brimley, he went off to eat some oatmeal and test his diabeetus before giving his close friend Black Robert Duvall a call.
Ike Whitaker, backup qb for Virginia Tech, is a bit of an overachiever. Not only is a D-1 athlete on scholarship, he’s done something it took us until our late 20s to acheive: becoming an alcoholic. We don’t really know if this is possible, since when we woke up with beer seeping from our pores in college, we merely rehydrated instead of going to meetings and getting angsty about the whole thing.
In all seriousness, we wish him luck. With a toast and a Velveeta-tinged “I Never Really Wanted To Coach Alabama†Slammer in hand.
Phil Trautwein, O-line stalwart for the Gators, committed the memory of last year’s championship to flesh in glorious black ink on his shoulder. He also has the memories of the 2005 Peach Bowl in ink, too, in the form of a tiny “WTF?” tattoed in his armpit.

In defense of Starkvegas, Since 2000 it has changed dramatically. The downtown has been completely redone and the baptist mafia has lost its stranglehold on local political power. As much as I bitched about it during my years there, there is plenty to do there…now. As for Tuscaloosa, who wants to hang out with a bunch of coke heads made of marshmallows….regardless of the strip malls?

We all call it “Actionville”, and we are very serious. Heck, I was in Asheville, NC and went white water rafting. Our guide called it Actionville.

hook, I grew up in the ham, pal. I know what I am talking about.
Mandel also stated very clearly that you can SUCK BALLS today and still be a “king” in this ranking as long as you have a storied history. Congrats to bammer on that one.
High FIVE big guy!

Futbawl Fan (#32)–
When I was a tank platoon leader in Korea, my tank crew had our internal comms net wired so we could hook up a CD player. Never used Rammstein, which would have been a fun choice, but shot tank gunnery to both Metallica and Dr. Dre. Made the long drive out to training areas more interesting too. The best part? They had it wired so that when I had to key the external radio to talk to the boss, the CD player cut out.

I just looked back at my last post. My grasp of the english language is just like the bars at AU…

The Strutting Duck…isn’t their motto “Plenty of rags to sop up the blood”?

I have attended many band parties at AU with guys I grew up with. I always got a kick out of the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco reps who set up tents outside the door…
I never liked the bars at Auburn…Blue Room, Highlands and there ilk sucked ass. BUT, War Eagle Supper Club gets this Bama boys seal of approval.

TigerinATL, HFS- how can you forget the Alehouse? One of 3 brewpubs in Alabama, and the only one where you’ll find a Double IPA- the wonderful Hopdragon (Don’t tell the ABC Board, or they may go testing kit on that ass):

OR the Supper Club? If you make until 4am, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get laid. And yes, Bammers, we actually have a bar that stays open past 2AM, unlike T-town (on Saturday nights, too).
Hook ‘Em- the Steel City of the South sucks- I’ve lived there for nearly 3 years. Mobile is 10X better, at least if you like to have fun- “What time do the bars close? Whenever we decide!” I will admit there is decent eye candy in the ‘ham, though- and GREAT BBQ.
Scalz- have you been to T-town lately? All the bars are disappearing (THE BOOTH IS NO MORE! WTF?!), but Galette’s makes sure to overflow itself with sewage ever-so-often. LSU night may be a good day to go this year- in 2001, a Corndogger drank a cup of that shit (pun intended) for about $100.
DC Trojan- I had forgotten who Nigella Lawson was- it won’t happen again. I will stare at a picture of her for at least 20 minutes as penance.
