I think he’s doing the Heisman to his wife, talkin’ all bad about how she didn’t have faith in our country. “Sit down hoe!”

Nixon: “Whatever I accomplish in life, I know I can attribute a great deal of it to the Duke University Law School.”

Damn right I am proud of him…

Biggus Rickus says:

If you think about it, the Heisman campaigns and Presidential campaigns aren’t that different. You have web pages and press releases hyping candidates. Style often wins out over substance. Nobody’s ever happy with the result except for a few ardent supporters. And in the end it doesn’t really matter.

There are a lot of wounded soldiers and families of dead ones who think the last two presidential elections mattered quite a bit.

Decent case to be made that holding it on your thigh is the polite thing to do in this situation. If he grabs it by the body and it breaks, he’ll end up carrying one county: wherever the hell college station is.

Steve @ 30 – taste is terribly subjective but I warrant that OC Phil is pointing out something true.

oc phil says:

Steve @ 30: I’m ALL about bad taste. Too bad you can’t see some of the outfits I’ve worn lately.

But I’ll stand by my comment. Presidential elections certainly do matter, especially when going to (or staying at) war is an issue. One could be anywhere on the spectrum from total peacenick to absolute warmonger to agree with that.

I didn’t mean to be too heavy handed with Biggus’ joke though.

Well, Heisman trophies are heavy, so it’s no surprise that Obama needs to rest it somewhere.

Unless, of course, it’s the one Ricky Williams hollowed out into a bong.

Is that Bevo’s dad on the wall?

I’m surprised he was able to put down his cigarette long enought to take that pic? For the life of me I don’t know why the Clinton campaign hasn’t used the fact that he’s a chain smoker (I tried chain smoking, but I couldn’t keep the darn things lit.) more. I mean, smokers are evil, right?

Futbawl Fan says:

man, these threads have really degenerated since the clock ended on LSU-tOSU

can’t we just get back to a little basic “your team sux” and some “we are so going to whoop your teams’ ass” and maybe some “can’t wait to see Orson’s white fanny next year with ‘Fulmer owns this ass’ in orange magic marker” or some crap like that?

tonite’s prayer… dear god… pls let the latest organized wrestling group take over politics … have them stage a nice series of colorful events and the winner can be prez for 4 to 6 yrs depending on if he can convince Jesse Ventura to be SecDef. Those clowns could not possibly be any goofier than the last two presidents we have had, and no sumbitch in the world will fuck with the good old USA while they are in office. Amen

Coop says:

DC,

There can’t possibly be another website, message board, etc on which to state your political opinion, can there?

It is a shame that the Internet only has football themed websites with comment sections for you to drop your “knowledge,” on the unwashed masses.

Tarpon says:

He has a hope that Texas will be great next year, but it will only come with change. Last year is in the past, which is behind them. The future is what’s ahead. If they believe in the future and hope that it will be better than the past, they can change it. Their time is now, yes they can! He hopes Bevo lives to see another championship, but change is necessary!!

DC Trojan says:

Coop # 49 – 1) There’s facts and there are opinions. Different presidents do different things, therefore any given presidential election brings different results. That falls into the realm of “facts,” and that’s what I meant, no more, no less. Whether you like it, that’s a matter of opinion.

As to suggesting that I find other places to go, you’ve got some fucking nerve considering this isn’t even your blog.

Maybe I misunderstood. Let me check: It’s okay for you to spout your social Darwinism, cheer for Confederate flags at football games, tell people to move north, call us all a bunch of Orson fanboys, and be generally rude and obnoxious – but I have to go somewhere else because God forbid I make a comment that could plausibly just the tiniest bit 1) political and 2) not aligned to your cramped worldview?

Let me give you an example of how to not be prescriptive when telling someone what you think. It is my considered opinion that you should feel free to go fuck yourself Coop, but equally feel free to do it wherever you want.

DC, like Zidane, you are fleet-footed, veteran, and legendary. But we’re sending you off for that.

Coop, you retaliate, you get the red card as well. Again: cattle gun in hand, waving.

Considering that Coop and DC are both first team starters, I recommend only a two subject thread suspension. Also a few extra laps and picking up trash in the stadium.

Maybe we should start a TAFKAOSUB Cup for the guys in the peanut gallery. Points are awarded based on character defamation, libel, cussing, talking about your mama, pissing in others cornflakes,etc.

Kenny says:

hunglikehussain @ 53 has a good one. Orson should fill out a roster with all of the regular commentors here and see where we rank in the eyes of the Ol’ Blog Coach.

Also, the primary there has passed, but go ahead and call Oklahoma for McCain in November. They tear off other men’s anatomies, they’ll vote against the Democrat offering.
