A BAR SCENE
A crowded singles bar in an urban setting. Bobby sits at a bar in a red tube dress, drinking a cosmo and swirling the straw around in his hand.
Another! Now! Bobby: BARTENDER! Another Screaming Orgasm over here.
Bartender: You’re really pouring it on.
Bobby: Fuck it, I’m drunk. And put another one on that old guy’s tab over there. He’s not even paying attention.
Mr. Blank, at the opposite end of the bar watching tv: Love ya, babe!
Bobby: Kiss my ass, limpdick. See? He didn’t even hear it. Limpdick!
Mr. Blank: (Blows kiss, winks.)
Bobby: Fuck. (downs shot)
(A stiff, tweedy middle aged man fiddling with his cell phone approaches the bar and the empty seat next to Bobby.)
Bill Martin, Michigan AD: Good evening, madam. Mind if i sit…
Bobby: Go right fucking ahead. ANOTHER! (taps empty shot glass)
Martin: Bartender, a Latour ‘64, if you’ve got it?
Bartender: (Stares, pauses, continues.) We have wine coolers.
Martin: Ooh! That sounds quite refreshing. I’ll try one.
(Turns to Bobby)
The weather has been delightful this year. Perfect for some late fall sailing, don’t you think?
Bobby: Sailing? Who the hell are you, Captain Ron? Who the hell sails anymore? They invented motors for a reason, asshole: speed. I’d rather run my jumbles over a cheese grater than get bored to tears watching a bunch of preppie assholes unwinding old laundry in the wind.
Martin: My, you’re quite adamant in your views. And such…language! Do you always speak like this to strange men?
Bobby: I do whatever with strange men, as long as they’ve got the luchini, fuck-o. (Adjusts bra strap.) Especially when they start waltzing up to me and blabbing about yachts and messing around with their cell phones.
Martin: Well, I…I’m sorry, but these things are so hard to figure out. And it gets stuck on this ingenious little game called Breakout. You see, the ball bounces like this…
Bobby: Cut to the chase, Dorky McPreppiepants. Daylight’s burning, and I gotta ditch Mr. Phantomstache yesterday. Hey, Limpdick!
Mr. Blank: (Smiles, points, winks.)
Bobby: You really wouldn’t believe the gullibility. I would feel for him, if I had a soul. BARTENDER!!!
Bill Martin: Well, you see, I arrived unaccompanied tonight to this establishment. And I endeavor to leave with some company, though I’m stunned at the lack of character in this place. My first choice went…well…somewhat unsuccessfully.
(Across the bar, Les Miles sits on a stool. He is wearing a pair of hot pants, a tied-off bandana bra, and is in the process of getting a tattoo that reads “MIKE.” A man in a tiger costume glowers at him with dead, angry mascot eyes.)
Miles: Tell your boy Carr to kiss my fucking ass, Martin! Hold this tiger! (Extends middle finger.)
Bobby: I like the broad’s style.
Martin: Yes, she gave me this prominent ocular indigo halo you can see here with heel of her hand in a tussle we had over some media relations. Anyway, I was wondering if I might have the pleasure of perhaps, if you’re willing and interested, of course, of giving me your phone…
(A large man in a cowboy hat roars into the bar. He begins throwing cash in every direction from a large sack he has slung around his back. He smells of wealth and bacon. Bar patrons scatter on the floor for dollars.)
Arkansas: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! AHHHHHMMM LOOOKIN FOR SOME PRIME SOW AND CAIN’T BEEE DENAAAAAAAAHHHD!!!!
Bobby: That is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. Gimme.
Arkansas: Let’s boogie, baby! Off with them drawers! IT’S RUTTIN’ TAAAAAAHHHME!!!
Martin: Excuse me, but I–
(Arkansas and Bobby begin copulating at the bar without shame, inches from Martin.)

Blank: Love ya babe!
Bobby: I’ve never been so satisfied. Ever. I’ll be yours forever. You’re huge.
Arkansas: WHOOOOOO WEEEEEEEE!!!! YOU’RE GONNA BE MY REGULAR SATURDAY NIGHT THING, BABAAAAAY!
Mr. Blank: Baby!!! How could you, honeybun?
Bobby: He’s a real man, not like you! Just watch him! He grows out his mustache ALL THE WAY!!!
Martin: This is just all…so…vulgar. Don’t any of you have any class anymore? Any of you? Do you know how hard this is for me, to try and do this with some sort of decorum, to find some esteem without wallowing in this whore-trough you call a bar? You should all be…be…
Bobby: (in between simulated groans) Ashamed?
Martin: YES! Some perspective, at last! Ashamed is precisely the word for it all! Ashamed!
Bobby: Sounds a lot like that guy Notre Dame. He left the bar years ago.
Arkansas: YEAAAAHHHH!!! I’M ON MAH TOES FOR THE FINISH, WOMAN!

Yep. Everyone’s looking for the next Pete Carroll, but they are forgetting one thing: Carroll took the Pats to the playoffs two out of his three years as HC and one time made it to the AFC CG. That and he thinks you all are angles, as opposed to Spurrier who thinks you all are buffoons, Saban who thinks you are a lazy sack of shit, and Petrino who thinks you will believe anything he says.

Tampa Bay actually has the ACC Championship game in 2008 and 2009, Charlotte has it in 2010 and 2011. A convention in 2008 interfered with Charlotte hosting the game and they wanted to host it in back-to-back years.

Let’s be clear: the bama/Arky model is a specific way of getting an NFL coach: totally screw it up for weeks on end in a national embarrassment, and then luck into landing a big name NFL coach dying to get out of a contract.
There are plenty of other ways to land a current (or former) NFL coach, with or without college ties.

TigerinATL – What’s the fun of being a fan and not being a little delusional? This was actually the first year that some of the delusional thoughts actually came true (beating USF, pounding Rutgers, Big East co-champs). All we missed out on was the BCS bid.
I’ve noticed that Big East fans have really started to turn the corner, i.e. becoming delusional, insulting each other and morphing into a baby SEC or Big XII. We’re not the fair-weather ACC fans or the “too good to be here” Big Ten fans.

Re: 53
Pete Carroll was not a good NFL coach. He inherited a team that just went to the Super Bowl under Parcells and made them worse every year until they didn’t even make the playoffs.

TIGERinATL says:
Yes Edsall,
ACC fans are fair weather. They may sit down and watch their team play football on TV if they don’t have a wine tasting or something to go to that Saturday. But GO to a game? Forget about it. They need to save that gas moeny to pay the thousands it takes for basketball season tickets. Flat out un-American if you ask me.

The whole lower level at BOA is sold out. The Flat Tire/Muffler Bowl has always sold 55-60,000+. This will be no exception.
Welcome to CLT, be sure to make it to Del Frisco’s one night.

Bill Martin asking for Latour (my Sec Reg prof used to say better never than late but I’ll transgress the admonition here) – ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ORSON
The boring stolidity of the house that Bo Built could not be captured with greater perfection. No wonder they are disinclined to go for the more adventures Burgundian flavors of the Hat. Not much space for that sort of thing in tthe Michigan cellar or the one in Bill Martin’s yacht for that matter. .
Several cases of the ‘61, ‘82, ‘90, ‘00, and 05′ to you Sir (no need not drink the stuff – sell it and buy TCOAN some rubies, emeralds, saphires and the like.)

DC Trojan says:
TigerinATL @ 55, I was just being an ass because you typed something about Pete Carroll and angles – and I was reminded of a story that an early Roman bishop saw “angle” slaves (Anglii) in a Roman slave market and was moved by their blond hair / blue eyes to remark, not Angles, but Angels.
Rusty @ 68 – I thought it was the other way around and of older provenance, obviously, but I may well be wrong… depends on whether they were Angles pre-British invasion (plausible) or post-British invasion (less plausible).

2 or 3 cases of each and you can sell some, drink the rest and compare the color of your rubies to the booze.
