SOUND EFFECTS R FUN
That someone out there watching the Va. Tech game, in the midst of all that solemnity and ceremony, that genuine sorrow mixed with the exultation of a community coming together, could still see one tiny gesture, isolate it on video, and combine it with a cheap sound effect…well, we salute you, American Awesomeman. We’ve laughed all morning at this like the giggly schoolgirl we really are underneath all this raw, unadorned, and well-padded sexiness.

That clip gets funnier every time I watch it.
#8, #10: Just wait until Israel gets a college football team.

LSUJoshua:
We weren’t booing our own team, we were yelling “Bruuuuuuuuuce” when they showed Bruce Smith on the jumbotron.
All of you would make great major news network spinners.

The community did not ask for anybody’s resignation - the major news networks tried to bait us into that scenario but Virginia Tech students/faculty refused.

The community called for the resignation of the Blacksburg and VT chiefs of police.
I did not know that.
ESPN’s coverage is nearing Fox News territory.
ESPN? Yeah, Fox News called and said you’ve used up the word “tragedy”. Also, they are worried you might start airing footage of 9/11 and Bush/Guiliani in rescue attire, thereby infringing on at least two Fox News copyrights.
Is next week’s TragiBowl with LSU-VT on ESPN or is it the CBS game? I foresee plenty of pre-game montages… Thankfully, those montages of death and destruction will be spliced with the healing power of foobaw clips.
Bonus: ESPN GameDay with your new host Benny Hinn.

I found that ironic as well.
Ironic then went out the window when the crowd booed their home team, the very team charged with healing them.
They’re healed. It’s time to get back to normalcy and all that with the televised play of Glennon as DA Nilfong going to jail and LSU’s Dorsey playing his cell mate.
“Glennon?! You sit when you piss bitch!”

Good point, well played.
It was widely reported that the response time and actions taken after the first round were atrocious.

#17,
Jimmy Clausen is starting next Saturday, Charlie Weis said it today at his press conference. No more QB derby. Clausen for the next 4 years.
