ORGERMANDIAS

with apologies to Mr P.B. Shelley

I met a traveller from down in futbawl land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in a Grove. Near them in some grass
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of a cold coonass
Tell that Pete Boone well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things
The headbutt that mock’d them and the ripped shirt that skeered
And on the pedestal these words appear
“IdaOrgermandias!!! KingOcoaches!!!”
LoookamahhummaanWildBoyz, LesMiles, an despair!!!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and sylvan Grove stretches all the way to
Vaught-Hemingway.

“What the hell is that dent?” I asked.

So Mark Richt, who is hiding under a lounge chair, says “That’s David Cutcliffe’s nose print.”

What does it say about me that I easily understand Coach O? I never would have thought Cajun translates so easily into Hillbilly.

….I sat 24 rows up from the Ole Miss bench last Saturday, and I tell you that the nutbaggery contest between Orgeron and Will Muschamp was worth the price of admission! On one occasion, an Ole Miss player clobbered Pat Sims from behind, at least 5 seconds after the whistle. Ole Miss drew a 15-yard flag, and Coach O went on a clipboard-throwing tirade that lasted at least 5 minutes. At one point, I thought he was going to body-slam the offending player…

#12 Croominator. Naw, the USC fans just love the Orgeron because he is awesome. He was a perfect fit for the crazy coach niche left vacant by Marv Goux.

Sometimes those guys work out better as assistants than head coaches.

If we can gets Glenn Dorseys attorney’s version of it and get him suspended, well Alabama will have something to work with.

Marcillac, my parents are from Glasgow and even they have trouble understanding some of the locals when they go back. For some reason, even though my grandfather was from Kippen not Govan, that’s who Sir Alex reminds me of.

Fortunately or not, the Orgeron doesn’t remind me of any family members…

Trojan,

To my midwester ears Sir Alex is more difficult to understand than The Orgeron. Slightly greater success rate on the field, at least in the top position, though.

He’s definitely getting some noticeable talent down in Oxford (Green-Ellis, Oher, etc.) Problem is, the coaching is well below the talent pool.

MS State getting to a bowl probably won’t help his chances.

Whatever he does we have to pray that The Orgeron retains a prominent place in college football. The entertainment value is huge and well nigh irreplacable.

Croominator, I liked him because he’s mad as a hatter and he had our defense ready to play. I don’t know that many southerners, but I know enough to know that the Orgeron is a law unto himself.

The book makes for a good, easy read. It lacks any academic context though.

If you believe that scholarship athletes represent nothing more than ill paid athletes, Feldman’s book will not only change your belief but it will reinforce it.

#5: Those “Wednesdays with Ed” are classic. I could be anal and point out that Smitty’s closed (and became snooty “208″) before The O got there. Instead I will be nostalgic and a little sad to point it out.

#12: All the writers at the “Football Friday” signing at Square Books commented on how much the fans in Southern California loved The Orgeron. Yet, way more Ole Miss fans than I care to count beg for his dismissal, going so far as to hope for more losses (doesn’t matter, they’re stuck with him for at least another year, can’t afford to buy his last year out when they’re still hurtin’ from paying off Cutcliffe). There’s a theory that So. Cal. loves him because he fits their Hollywood stereotype of what a Southerner is.
