BLOGTOBERFEST: WHIRLWINDHURRICANEAZOID EDITION.

by Orson on Sep 17, 2007 5:30 PM EDT

People write great shit all the time on other blogs. We encourage you to read them, most especially after the always huge week three of the season.

Aw!

Superb semantic analysis of the USC/Nebraska game, provided to you by AJThoughts. Pete Carroll would club a baby seal, sure--but it would instantly split into three baby seals, each instantly cuter than the other. Oh, and puppies. There'd be puppies, too.

SMQ's militantly awesome as always. How much so? He called New Mexico's upset of Arizona and it justifiably proud of doing so. Deny the fact that you had no idea they even played, much less that it was an upset for the Lobos, and you are the father of lies.

The HogBlogger says that Houston Nutt's teams have followed up an opening SEC loss with a second loss every year in the Nutt era, just as they did against Alabama. McFadden's rumored concussion had much to do with it, but why let Casey Dick throw and not run out a bit more of the clock--in a game where Bama eventually won with 8 seconds left--may be the inescapable noose/query of Nutt's 2007 season. Screw may--is the inescapable noose.

Private jets. Sometimes they land at Auburn. It's never too early to put the brands to a rival, done with great subtlety by Todd here.

Not good looking, but certainly well-ventilated.

Clay Travis takes his beating like a man. We still owe him ten dollars for Florida not blocking a punt, something we can live with, we suppose. He also mentions that we had our shirt halfway down to the navel. Totally true: when you've got a plush landing strip for ladyjets as we do, you've got to ventilate that shit with diligence.

Did Boise State pump in crowd noise? Joe Glenn, Wyoming's coach, certainly thinks so, per the Wizard of Odds.

Tony thinks Florida could be scary good. Which is always nice.

Note this about Oregon: Even Oregon fans think they're superb this year, notwithstanding the fact they played a punch-drunk Michigan team. We hop no Duck bandwagon due to past burns with Belotti teams that didn't pay out and await further evidence--though their mascot certainly seems to have the right spirit.

We would, too, if we'd lost to ISU.

Black Heart Gold Pants can't possibly blame Texas lineman Lance Tillison for DWI after the Hawkeyes' loss to Iowa State--especially since he was caught with the DJ Screw Starter kit of weed, alcohol, and cough syrup in his car. Purple drank is sometimes the only sanctuary in this cruel world, be you Hawkeye or strug-guh-ling Texas defense.

BlockU, in celebrating their complete and crushing victory against UCLA, works up some caption magic the Economist would be proud of, sirs.

Duke's losing streak: A touching retrospective from Nathan at AOL.

Bill's life as the ur-BC blogger is about to become totally greatz0rz and he knows it: not only can he hand out stellar grades to the Eagles following the requisite Chan Gailey letdown game on Saturday night, his Eagles face the worst Notre Dame team ever later this year with an offense piloted by rising LARGE AWARD NOT TO BE NAMED FOR FEAR OF COPYRIGHT VIOLATION BUT FUCK IT WE'LL SAY IT ANYWAY THE HEISMAN SUCK IT DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB candidate Matt Ryan. You were there from the jumpoff, sir.

That? Is the WORST picture of you I’ve ever seen. I mean, it doesn’t even look like you.

…or is that the point?

Ventilation is key, true. But more critical is a competent bush hog.

O…
Manscaping… Ever heard of it?

Threadjack, but ESPN Gameday is coming to Bama. I don’t remember us winning whenever they’ve been here before. But, the real important thing here is that I’m pretty sure ESPN goes to the game that Herbstreit is calling…..which means we’ll have to hear Brent Musberger calling an Alabama game this weekend.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manscaping—

No. Just no.

I married a man. I like very much that he looks like a man. I happily let my subscription to Non-Threatening Boys Magazine lapse back in high school.

OS – You got a real Hunter Thompson goes to UF thing going on in that photo. Just add one of those cigarette holders and watch out for the bats.

Continuing with the day’s apparent theme…I guess I’ll comment on the white-shirted chick’s rack in the lower right of the “O” photo.

Woo, boobies!

- I don’t think Musberger will be calling the game. Right now Scout’s tv listings show CBS having the UGA/Bama game, and ABC’s night game is Iowa/Wisconsin.

That is some serious bush. So that is why the place is called the Swamp. But I notice that there is no necklace to mark where he should stop shaving.

CBS picked the Bama game this week…Brent will be at whatever crappy game the Big Ten is foisting on the Mouse this week.

Gamecocks at LSU on CBS; Bama-Dawgs on ESPN.

As your attorney, I would advise you to get 20 more Acapulco shirts, 100 hits of blotter acid,1 gallon of Ether, 1 brick of Milf Weed, 1 kilo of columbian booger sugar,pituitary gland off of a cadaver. Note to self: never open vial of cocaine in a convertible going more than 50 mph. God will punish you.

You need to be smoking a cigar as you stand over the fallen leader of the opposing drug cartel or regime. ¡Que viva la revolución!

The bucket hat truly completes the ensemble.

[regarding Tim “Baby Rhino” Tebow]: “There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

Orson to TCOAN: "Do I make you horny baby?

Change the underwear from the union jack to “Property of Tim Tebow” and I think this its Swindelian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wBlpm0HQ2I

Swindle, that may be the worst excuse for a shirt I have ever seen. I do, however, compliment you on the thatch. Not quite at my hair shirt level yet…but I got a few years head start on you.

No, no, no. That was Texas safety Tyrell Gatewood last week. And he wasn’t mixing up purple drank, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this…

So did Coach Harris march into the Northwestern locker room and yell at them, “You just lost to a bunch of goddamned nerds. NERDS!!!”

17 —
That shirt is EXPENSIVE. Like, $100 or some ridiculous amount. I was coming on here to compliment Orson for being balla enough to blow that kind of coin on something that garish. Yet he stays at IP when he goes to Vegas. Doesn’t make any sense. Next time I go out there, I’m staying at Binions (formerly the Mint) and the Flamingo, and running through Circus Circus and raising hell. It’s my Fear and Loathing tour.
