THE ORANGE BOWL: THERE’S MAGIC THERE
Comfortable with his body, and good for him for that.Not that we’re particularly affectionate towards any bowl game more than others, but something about the Orange Bowl leaves us a bit limp in the trousers. Kansas and Virginia Tech don’t have any real animosity towards each other, no great historical rivalry to spice the matchup up a bit, and each side features zero players of not to make the casual observers’ eyeballs pop a bit when you scan the roster.
(BUT BUT BUT!!! Yes, Todd Reesing is good (short) and talented (short), and Virginia Tech’s defense features a guy named Macho. We know. Compare it with last night’s Oklahoma/WVU game, and the wattage doesn’t even come close, though. The day we get excited about Sean Glennon is the day we get really excited about Steve-O, since we have a sneaking suspicion they’re actually th the same person. If you see Glennon snorting Wasabi pregame, just nod in our direction like we’re a pimp of precognition.)
The one thing you can count on in the Orange Bowl (besides learning that neither of these teams will be able to run the ball on the other) is the halftime show. Lately they’ve been leaning on the Kelly Clarksons and Ashlee Simpsons of the world, a shame even if the Orange Bowl crowd booed her so loudly you could hear it on the live mikes. They put a tremendous amount of effort into it, which every average consumer of halftime entertainment shows their appreciation for by getting up and urinating before purchasing a beverage and sitting back down just in time to watch the cleanup.
This year’s entertainment? ZZ Top.
Miami, Fla. (www.orangebowl.org) – Revered worldwide as “That Little Ol’ Band from Texas,” ZZ Top will be the major attraction during the renowned halftime of the 2008 FedEx Orange Bowl on January 3 at Dolphin Stadium. The “Tres Hombres” – Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard (ironically the beardless member of the group) – collectively known as ZZ Top, have been signed to star in the famed Orange Bowl Halftime Show, one of the most entertaining and prestigious halftimes in all college football.
Personally, we’d rather watch the iguanas rain from the palm trees than watch ZZ Top two-step their way through “La Grange” in front of a half-empty stadium. In fact, we wish they’d just to back to the days where you had to bollocks up some sort of Vegasy fantasia complete with a theme, rhinestones, and magic tricks that went horribly wrong, leaving only silence and the lonely wail of a hot dog vendor to break the tension.
That Harry Blackstone! We bet he rolled in trim. Women were easier and more easily confused back then. If you don’t believe us, consider that women believed George Michael was straight and went to the trouble of sleeping with him to prove it. Card tricks would have had women wearing nothing but Jean Nate in seconds, man, especially with a ’stache like that.
Leave your observations below, and enjoy the magic!

Rich Rodriguez the Iguana Dept:
Regarding iguanas when it gets too cold, the raining iguana article states:
“Yero isn’t too fond of the comatose critters. They are exotics from Central and South America, brought in as pets and then released to the wilds by their owners when they got too big for the house.”

I’m not sure whether to think ZZ Top is an improvement or a step down from the infamous Ashlee Simpson halftime at the Orange Bowl. A step up musically, but a huge step down in the hilarity of the thunderous booing that she received.

It’s beer. It gets you drunk and tingles a little. Good enough.
This game is clearly thrilling me.

marcillac: Notre Dame #1 class? One 500 star defensive lineman just “decommitted” from ND and will probably end up with the Gators. This will cause Charlie to get off his prepared meals and back to cheeseburgers, will ensure another losing season. But, with a revised BCS system, they might just make a game, since they will get the exception for a losing team being allowed in the games.

The linked article says Muschamp was a walk-on, but I am pretty sure that he was on scholarship or was by the end of his career at UGA. I know he was a starter (and a good guy).
Also, several of the coaches on Goff’s staff are or were on Texas’ staff- Mac McWhorter for one and if Greg Davis is still there, then him.
Frankly, I would love to see Muschamp leave Auburn… and any of UGA’s rivals.

Orange Bowl Half Time
Ok as a kid my dad coached football. Yes I can throw a spiral that is definitely catch able, and I can tackle any 200 lb lineman if I have too. I watched more football films on the wall in our garage than any high school girl could care to. I know play in play books and never ran on of them. All I know is if they wanted to date me they ended up running extra laps at practice. Dad meant business.
I have to say I was disappointed with the Orange Bowl tonight…:namespace prefix = o ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” />
When I was young my dad used to wake us up around ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />10 pm to get up and watch the Orange Bowl half time show. REALLY!! We’d go to bed at 8 pm and he’d rally all 4 (at the time, there is now 6 ) of us at 10 to watch the half time and then put us back in bed.
Well what a disappointment tonight was. I was on the computer and my hubby came in and said…it is half time what did your dad used to do? I said wake us up for the half time show… and so I went out to the couch curled up in his chest and began to watch the commercials… YES a million commercials. Then ZZ Top played “sharp dressed man.” AND MORE COMMERCIALS!!!! Fox should be ashamed. Really. My dad who coached and loved football looked forward to every year waking us kids up to watch the half time show which today has turned to nothing but commercials. I was MAJOR disappointed.
Where are the fireworks? and ZZ Top??? Where have they been the last ummmmm 20 years?
Commercials….lord help us.

Wow, there is some seriously bad throws in this game. Now KU just scored. Close but good, not a great, but good game.

Fotodog, why would a UGA fan want Muschamp to leave Auburn?
Muschamp vs UGA
2003: LSU 17, UGA 10
2004: LSU 16, UGA 45
2006: AU 15, UGA 37
2007: AU 20, UGA 45
I won’t know if he’s gone or not until the smoke settles in the morning. This rumor pattern is the same as CTT to Arkansas.

What did you miss?
Someone splashed a link to a Rupert Murdoch backed paper regarding a presidential candidate’s sexual preference.
Fox’s Jumper shot sucks.
Lot’s of people are hitting the hooch.
Oh yeah, Kansas’ special team dropped a hot load over Beamer’s genius special team.
Did I miss anything?

fotodog, that’s pretty damned funny…..
Need a lawyer? Damn…. what is it about law school that causes all you sunsabitches to lose your sense of humor? Do they beat the hell out of you guys that badly? It’s the writing that’s required isn’t it?
KU up on turnovers up on scores. No penalties, what’s up with that?

Marcillac @ 188 – I’ve got a couple of bottles of single malt that are finally nearly finished, but I think the Glenfarclas might not be in the hooch budget for this month. Will file that away for future reference though.
As for wives and discouraging second drinks, whatever. 9.20 is a start time for a civilized individual; I say drink up.

D.N. Nation says:
As a Georgia fan, I am oh-so-curious why the pollsters continue to insist upon ranking Virginia Tech ahead of my team. Complete second-half meltdown in the Chick-fil-A bowl? OMG, stick ‘em in the Top 10! Boring-ass win in front of 2K people for the ACC crown? OMG, barely missing the national championship game! And on and on.
Here is what Virginia Tech is: aggressive defense, aggressive special teams, rancid offense. And as much as the pollsters seem enamored with the Lunchpail/Beamerball crap, only a defense up to the standard of, say, the Iron Dukes would be able to mask what the Hokies just can’t do on the other side of the ball (as in, move it).
This team is THE very definition of “#15.” Even this season. So once KU wins this game, please, please, PLEASE resist the urge to somehow make VT into your primary national title contender next year on the basis of, uh, blue-collar mentality or whatever.

DC Trojan – If your budget is tight, I suggest Isle of Jura 10 year old. Best single malt for the buck.
When I have a little extra in the hooch budget, I go for the Oban.
Do not, I repeat, do not get sucked into buying vatted malt. F**** marketers.

PW says:
A lawyer and a bartender had been stranded on a deserted island for almost a month. The only other thing on the island was a tall coconut tree, which provided their food. Each day, one of the men climbed to the top of the tree to see if he could see a boat coming. One day, the lawyer yelled down from the tree, “I can’t believe my eyes. There’s a girl out there floating in our direction.” Skeptical, the bartender said, “Come back down out of the tree, I think you’re hallucinating.”
After that, the lawyer reluctantly climbed down the tree. But sure enough, within a few minutes, up to their beach floated a naked blonde woman, face up, and totally unconscious. The two men went over to her and discovered that she was alive. The bartender said, “You know, we’ve been on this island for a while now without a woman. It’s been a long time. Do you think we should, you know, screw her?”
The lawyer glanced down at the totally naked woman and asked, “Out of what?”

Bevo, solid choices both. I saw the sunlit highlands when a friend got his PhD and his sisters went in on a bottle of Macallan that must have been at least 30 years old… that was smoooooth.

And I won’t talk trash about anyone Monday, just want to see a good game. And maybe more YouTubable Les Miles moments.

Doug, if Kansas scores a field goal here, you prediction at post 37 won’t be too far off. Too bad you didn’t get in touch with your bookie in time.

DC Trojan says:
Bevo, I abandoned the PhD ship in my fifth year, no 30 year old single malt for me. I thought that getting a “proper job” would mean I might be able to afford my own damn fine fine malts, but it turns out that spawning brings ongoing (increasing?) costs.
back to the game for a second: not a bad series here for Kansas. Does this mean they aren’t light-weights or has VA Tech flattered to deceive once again?

give me a break. they didn’t douse him because it’s a waste of time. He would have simply absorbed all the liquid, blowing up bigger like that Blueberry girl in Willy Wonka.

Chg says:
How does Kansas winning confirm that they should be there? They lost to Missouri, and the Tigers’ bowl performance certainly looked like that of a BCS worthy team.
VT had to get in because they won the ACC. Their loss just confirms their real identity is the team that struggled with East Carolina and was demolished by LSU. People seem to forget how bad they looked before conference play kicked in. The sorry showing by the ACC in the bowls just confirms the conference’s status near the bottom of the BCS pecking order.
