WIPE YOUR TEARS WITH YOUR POWER TOWEL
You didn’t watch the Kansas/Kansas State game on Saturday. We’d bet money on it. Early there was Wisconsin/Illinois, in the middle there was the Red River Rivalry and Georgia suffering a collective aneurysm of the spirit in Knoxville, and late there was Florida at LSU. We know we didn’t watch it, what with the being chased by men attempting to feed us gumbo through funnels and the ritual LSU hello of being headbutted as a greeting.
So if we’re looking to what put Fat Bastard and the Jayhawks up, we could point to the Jayhawks rushing for 170 yards to the Wildcats 53. Or to the fact that while both teams tossed 3 interceptions each, at least Kansas threw three TDs to balance out the accounts sheet, while Josh Freeman only threw one TD on his end to finish with a 1/3 ratio on the day. Or (numbers blah blahbedy blahbedy blahsome.)
Or we could just rely on this video, which while less statistically descriptive, certainly captures the essence of the whole affair.
Again, go nowhere in the universe without your power towel, as it’s handy for wiping down tears of loss and feeding to a raging Mark Mangino when he’s wrecking the postgame victory buffet with two hands and a foot. (Little known fact: he has dextrous toes. He can’t see them, but he can manipulate objects with them.)
HT: Pete Jayhawk.

A scary thought – Mangino, Cholly W, Phat Fil & Ralphie Friedgen at an all you can eat buffet for $9.95 each, beverage included.
Instant bankruptcy. Likely cannabilism, too.

Raider Red and I watched it. Funniest thing of the whole game was a pan of the KState crowd and a dude holding up the largest pair of tighty whiteys known to man that said “Mangino, are these yours?” Guess he should have stuck with the power towel though.
A close 2nd is Mangino trying to put his hands on his “hips.” Seriously, how does that man get out of bed in the morning? How is he mobile? How is he alive?

While I don’t know what side to take in this whole divide, I do know that 70,000 people at Faurot started laughing when the scoreboard showed Mangino celebrating the win.
Good job, kU. Just wait til Nov 24 at Arrowhead, where we’ll show you how it’s really done in our shitty half of the Big XII.

Despite the recent offensive explosion from KU, I’m still convinced that Mangino’s clipboard doesn’t have any plays on it… just pictures of his favorite doughnuts he’s eaten in the past.

Erik says:
I was reminded Saturday of something that puzzled me several years ago.
LSU fans seem to like to chant “Tiger bait!” like they done don’t know no other words.
“Bait” is something you put in a trap. Ergo, tiger bait would be something that you use to trap tigers.
To trap your team.
Is nobody in the entire state of Louisiana aware of this problem?

Nobody ever said LSU was full of intellect. But they can play ball and isn’t all that matters to us anyway.

Florida fans are also fond of yelling “Gator Bait!” But if the team is the bait, who is the trapper? The AD?

So, yeah, I’m a little disappointed the plane didn’t win in this game on saturday. I didn’t think the chickenhawks had a chance. Of course, when the face of your program throws 3 picks to his one touch, I supposed it is gonna be a long day. Either way, The Big Red (even as weak as they are) and the Tigers will roll through kU (kansas is neither a proper place or name, therefore, they deserve no capitalization). The Werewolves should continue to march through their season until that little rematch in the SEC title game (the Vols will lose 1 conf game and the Gators will win out).

Also, Saban probably doesn’t have time for this, what with having his hands full of a more southerly cougar.

not only did i actually get up to watch the ku/kstate game, but i watched it with a real live ku alum…who, interestingly enough, was more excited about skipping the 4th quarter to go watch OU/tx somewhere else – basketball fans are fucking weird
but my ku friend did make a very keen observation, which is that black is a very slimming color on mangino – it’s almost like his moobs are a mere d-cup when he’s in black

Tiger, if you would have just used the power of Google Image Search on your own, you could have been using that towel to wipe up something else.

Excellent video! I’ll use the power towel to wipe away the tears of laughter. The video was well-synched to the beat of the music.
Also, re #16: nice reference.

Futbawl Fan,
Thanks a pantload. I had almost gotten that image out of my mind (without resorting to steak knife in the ear). If your gf was jealous of that… well, I’m sorry. Fatty was somewhat bent over with what appeared to be two dunce caps made of melted marshmallow protruding from his fat ass chest…..
AHHHHHH!!!!! where is that damn steak knife!?!?!

#25 – how true, but looking at cheesecake at this site seems more noble and less-molesterish than having to search for it while at work at red-light district sites. Call me crazy…. but it’s more satisfying to read a very funny football blog that happens to throw up a pic or 4 of a hot chick than to try to find it otherwise. (failing miserably at justifying the need for cheesecake)
