Do the undead have trouble with ACL injuries? If not, I hope theres more than one recruit from Nosferatu HS.

WHAT COACH, after being ‘Stached one game against a 4-7 flounder, called recruits from his job, then quit said job after realizing great talent was too much for him to handle, too a job at a dying dinosaur of a university, then called the recruits again?

Can we answer [name redacted] in more than one place, ’cause I’m liking him for waterskiing AND In n’ Out. Actually, I think he skiied through the drive-through, doubly impressing/shocking the target of his affliction. As an aside, he said it’s the long fries that keep him coming back for more.

DC Trojan,
Only problem is that your superhuman players are only available for night games. Start relying too heavily on the undead and your road opponents need only schedule games during the day, and seeing as you’re in DC, you’d have to stay up until 3:00 a.m. to enjoy a televised home game.

By the way, this is why I don’t subscribe to Rivals or the other recruiting sites. Why pay for it when you can get it here for free? And with twice as much fun (maybe three times even)?

What AD loses the coach who built his program from scratch, uses the Governer to help himm with coaching searches, and then launches a smear campaign against said coach to make him look bad ?
And, I think Orson and the rest of the UF faithful think the dying dinosaur’s condition has been greatly exaggerated.

1. — that has to be some long-lost member of the Clausen family.
2. Sounds like Jimbo Fisher to me.
5. That’s definitely Les Miles. They’re lucky In ‘n Out doesn’t sell taffy, or there would have surely been a bloodbath.
6. That’s totally Terrell Pryor and Rich Rodriguez. Pryor’s official EDSBS entrance song should totally be Piss on You.
7. Absolutely [name REDACTED]
8. Nick Saban.
9. How can that be anybody BUT The Orgeron?

Biggus Rickus @ 5 – I’m often up until three watching a WAC game anyway, so no big change there.
(I don’t have a college football problem, I could stop watching any time I want.)

I was unaware that Larry Sellers was a 5 star recruit. Said “noted violator” should be warned that admission into school might be an issue considering Larry’s social studies scores.

#13 – Herb, you know good and well you are about to get raped by Butch Davis.
Remind me again what Davis’ record was against BC when Miami was full strength?
RJ Mattes, and a vastly overrated Brandon Barnes aside (have you ever seen a Rivals 5 star drop to a 3 star before NDS?), you guys are never going to be anything significant.
And, more importantly, we will be better than both you and your superior brother, 24 miles down the road.

DC Trojan says:
OC Phil @ 16 – that would require that I have the chance to watch it the next day. I stay up all hours because I live in a house with three females, 2 of whom are under the age of 6. The only unmolested sports viewing time is for SC games (non-negotiable*) and whatever I can catch after the small people are locked in their cages for the night.
*Along with World Cup and Euro finals.

DC – We love our kids greatly, but damn if I don’t look at the clock throughout the evening and count the time until their 8pm bedtime more times than I care to admit.
