MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: DOUG SAUTER
Today's Mustache Wednesday comes to us with a bonus tale of heroism. The most interesting man in the world may actually be Doug Sauter, coach of the minor league hockey team the Oklahoma City Blazers and tamer of huge wild animals, not that guy with the beard whose blood smells like cologne. (Or Doug Sauter may be that man. We're not sure.)

Doug Sauter, horsemaster. Happy Mustache Wednesday, motherfuckers!
Sauter singlehandedly arrested disaster in its tracks Monday at the Oklahoma State Fair when he halted a potential stampede of Belgian draft horses harnessed together in a train. The mustachioed hero...
...was at the fair Saturday attending the Centennial Expo's Draft Horse Show when he saw a Belgian horse break free from its reins. That caused a chain reaction that spooked other horses, he said Monday.
He bit the ear of one of the spooked horses to stop it from stampeding.
"That's how you stymie a horse," he said.
"You bite as hard as you can, and it won't move."
The driver of the train then regained control of the horses. Belgian draft horses, in case you didn't know, are fucking huge: Sauter wasn't nipping on a mere feather of a pony ear, but instead likely growling and bearing down on the equivalent of a pulsating steak covered in horse hair and sweat attached to a very angry descendant of the massive proto-horses knights rode into battle. This was not, repeat NOT easy chewing.
To celebrate, Sauter then benchpressed two seated Japanese nurses, freed a wailing bear from a trap, and then commanded everyone on the scene to "stay thirsty, my friends."
We twiddle our handlebar liplaser in tribute to you, sir. ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS from us to Doug Sauter, who must have needed at least one frosty beverage to wash the horrible taste of horse's blood from his mouth. (HT: BDoc.)

That anti-aging medicine Wilford Brimley is taking sure seems to be working well.
Wonder if it will help his dia-beet-us?

The Orgeron is not impressed. He would have depantsed and challenged those show ponies to a bare knuckle brawl.

I think he got the horses to stop stampeding by making them think that his mustache was actually 2 bales of hay.

The odds of that story being true are 6,000 to 1. The only “source” is the guy himself. And it’s from the Daily Oklahoman. You know, that paper that guy Gundy all riled up.

Belgian draft horses, in case you didn’t know…
Mmmmmmm, Belgian draft.

I didn’t realize it, but Coach Sauter bears a slight resemblance to the OSU mascot Pistol Pete.

8 – who the fuck makes up stories about biting a horse’s ear? as a lawya, i consider myself a tremendous liar, and i’ve made up plenty of stories about scrumping drunk hots and fighting gigantic brutes, but biting the ear of gigantic horse? that would take some serious imagination, more imagination than that possessed by a minor league hockey coach
and here’s a link to a pic of a belgian draft

You wanna write something, write about ME! I’m Fo’tie!
Don’t write about them horses, that got their hearts broken! I’m a man! Thats why I dont read the paper!
You got horses? Ever had a horse get made fun of because one of its ears were bitten off? Well someday I hope you have horses, that gets their hearts broken and its ears bitten off so you can explain it.

Whatever, If The Orgeron had been there, he would have been an active participant in the stampede with his equine brethren.

After looking at the linked pic in #11 above, I am convinced that this man must be 10 feet tall in order to bite the beast’s ear. I think he also is a second cousin of BILL BRASKEY!

Goes about 7’8", 465, could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing and taught his son how to drive by entering him in the Indy 500. The kid wrecked and died. Bill said it would’ve happened sometime.

We once had a bachelor party for Brasky. He ate the entire cake before we could tell him there was a stripper in it.

No. 10— No, to my knowledge that is not a real quote from the Real Deal. I thought it would be funny if Evander were to have said it, however, because he would have personal knowledge of such. He could be like, “Yep, I relate to that horse’s pain. A bite to the ear definitely stymie’s yo ass.” Mike T. would also work because he could be like, “Basically, I relate to Mr.Sauter and concur with his summation regarding the biting of ear and the reaction thereto.” That one could really go either way. If I had to post it over again, I’d still go with Evander, however, simply because I don’t like Mike T.
That little spiel took me 1 minute closer to happy hour, woo hoo!

Sheesh, talk about the Grinch that stole Christmas.
Also, now you can insert Nick Saban where Brasky used to be. Now that you mentioned it, Nick Saban dug up Braskys body and skull fucked him.

I wouldn’t have believed it myself, but I learned this summer that biting a horse’s ear really is the way to immobilize it. I was at a rodeo in Nebraska this summer and they had a contest where cowboys had to put a saddle on a wild mustang, get on the horse, and then take it for one lap around the track. Next to Tim Tebow running over some poor linebacker, it’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen — I thought some of those horses were going to kill one of those cowboys.
Anyway, a woman behind me in the crowd was related to one of the cowboys (who won the race by riding what I thought was the most pissed off horse I’ve ever seen, by the way) and she told me that one of the teams was known for cheating. I asked her how the hell could anyone cheat at this? She said that some cowboys would bite the horses ears to immobilize them — that this was an old Indian trick. Apparently this really works. So there you go, at least this part of the story is true.

- - Sauter’s from Fairlight, Saskatchewan. Definitely a ranch guy who handles horses when he’s not coaching puck. Must now what he’s doing – he runs the ranch of the team’s owner and show the owner’s clydesdales at shows across the country and in Canada.
He’s a former goalie in the Bruins organization – and in his first interview with the OKC media he talked of his miserable pro debut. Three shots faced, all goals between the legs. So distraught he was, he decided to "end it all – so [he] jumped in front of a bus… and it too went through his legs. Gotta love goalie humor.

eric y: No comment after Domer except that Sammie reports those really are pubic hairs in his beard and Sammie and Jay Whitlow want to know if he got them in the locker room or from the dog pound. Jay Whitlow says they look like dog hairs, though.
