RANTICS! RECRUITING EDITION

PrintWhile we're churning through the reversals and hat-switching over at the Signing Day blog, consider for a moment what Signing Day really means to all of us: elegantly arranged fraud.
We present the first and possibly last installment of Rantics! (the exclamation point means excitement and irony!) This week's episode features three minutes of our thoughts on recruiting in general, and is animated by Irishoutsider, who deserves any and all credit for the humor content (?) contained within the piece.
It has profanities, but you knew that already. Exercise proper caution.
(Of course it's ripped off from Zero Punctuation. Yahtzee is God. The rest of us are just shadows.)

That rawked. More of this type of infotainment, please. It was like a Michael Moore short, without the retardedness.

Jesus, O…can you talk any faster?! Rambling on like that would make one believe you hail from north of that Mason-Dixon line or something.
Oh, and by the way…why don’t you tell us how you really feel?

The picture of Jimmy Claussen’s parents alone made the entire effort worthwhile.
And, I couldn’t agree more with the thesis: recruiting is creepy.

I’m going to go ahead and assume that either A) Swindle is related to the MicroMachines guy or B) there was an oxygen tank nearby for the recording of this.

The creepiest thing was that he did the whole thing (unedited) in one take.
I can’t do a minute of MLS previews without at least 3 F-ups and I cut the damn thing in half.

They don’t make enough cocktails to give irishoutsider what he deserves for that.

So, you obsess about college football, but you get on your soap box and mock recruiting, the vehicle for getting these players in your stadium and in front of your television.
Allow me to respond with something from, ironically and homoerotically enough if I am to believe what was on that video, A Few Good Men:
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said “thank you” and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand at post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
So, what you are saying is that those who love college football but turn their nose up at college football recruiting basically hate themselves?

@Coop,
Anyone with a functioning cranium knows how stupid our collective obsession with college football is. That’s why we laugh at it.
You’ve got no contradictions in your life? Congrats, my friend. You’re the only living person without ’em.
