Super Tuesday Express Edition! Vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote! Tuh-DAAAAAAAY! Rudy Carpenter elects to wear a pink shirt, and then completes the angry athlete trifecta: oversensitivity, inquiring what sport the verbal assailant played, and then attempting to fight the person who laughed at his pink shirt by calling him gay. Chairman Kaga pronounces you the winner, Rudy-san. Dirty campaigning doesn’t begin to describe this. Rich Brooks’ ping-pong skills earned the vote of one recruit, causing him to flip-flop to Kentucky from Tennessee. Universal health care coverage won’t likely stop former MSU qb Michael Henig’s hip from making strange noises or hurting, a fact surprising no one who watched him take an unholy, Nixon v. McGovern-style beating every single time he took the Pimp C? He died of a combination of sleep apnea and—NOOOOOOOOOOOO!–purple drank. All this OD’in gonna give Promethezine a bad name, lawya. (Sip!)

Are Richt and Brooks going to have a ping pong death match anytime soon?

Finally, he made the call everyone expected him to make.
Phillip Fulmer did not answer his cell phone when Cobb first dialed.
When the UT head man called back, Cobb says the coach apologized for missing the player the first time. “Randall, I’m out trying to find you some future teammates,” Cobb remembers Fulmer saying in a cheerful voice.
What do you think Phil was really doing there? I’m imagining him staring at his phone on the table in front of him with a bear claw in each hand, forced to make a decision. He obviously chose bear claw.

I remember the first night of the season thinking MSU had a long… long… long season ahead of them. And that Croom was gone half way through. Turned into a good little season after Henig left.

Carpenter’s antics bring me back to thinking we ought to give out a Garrett Bushong Award as part of the Fulmer Cup gala.

my former boss was a one big bastard who used to wear pink shirts with a certain regularity. when i’d haze him about it he’d say “you have to be at least 225lbs to wear a pink shirt”…guess that’s why i don’t own any. i guess the moral of the story is if you look like a bad ass motherfucker, you can wear whatever color shirt you want.

Most people don’t know that I’m fueled creatively by my massive hatred of immigrants.

Wherever Neal Diamond goes, he leaves a trail of murdered drifters and bodily fluids in his wake.

Looks like Koetter picked a real champ there. The kid oozes school spirit.

Just leave me out of this one man.
I WILL LEAVE YOU IN!
Also, that’s a pretty fucking great prank pulled on that OLineman. Sure, it’s really mean, but then, aren’t all pranks?

There’s no need for a wall along the southern border, just put up movie screens and p.a. systems every couple hundred feet playing that Neil Diamond song on continuous loop. That should do the trick.

Maybe he perpetrated the prank….would be choice….think about it, if people’s stars rise up when they get offers from BCS schools, well then next thing you know some other place is offering him, and BAM there you go, you sucker people into offering you. Maybe?

Absolutely do not miss the story on Kevin Hart, linked after “dirty campaigning.” Unbelievable.
@#12-I thought about that, Brian, but presumably he would have known that Cal and Oregon were the straw men, and he would not announce for etiher school.
I can’t imagine that he ever had an official visit to etiher school-wouldn’t that have struck his HS coach as odd?

This next song, I wrote after I killed a drifter to get an erection.

Randall Cobb must immediately be given the nickname “Tex.” This shit is not up for consideration, it must happen.

When I was a youngin’ (I’m 35 now) pink shirts were pretty normal, as long as they were certain styles - an Oxford, or certain brands of polos. Nobody thought anything of it.

Damn. I’ll enjoy watching that Jasper Brinkley hit on Henig a little less now.
I hope he doesn’t have any lasting symptoms other than the inevitable Vietnam-esque flashbacks of the offensive line crumpling over and over.

Don’t worry about Mike Henig - worry about Orson. Rumor has it that TCOAN is already nagging Orson to take her on a trip to Montgomery for a birthday present from Henig Furs.

Rudy Carpenter sure his cock-sure for a guy who is going to get crushed by Georgia in a mere 227 days. I suppose, though, that there is plenty of time to beat up non-athletes and cupcake west coast teams before then…
