Tennessee versus UCLA in LA: there's your Labor Day evening entertainment. That, and getting the cat drunk on cheap beer, of course...like, Jeff Goldblum drunk. (HT: Macenstein.) Male or feeeeeemale! Idaho promises athletic dominance and ignores the transgendered in their promo song, produced as part of a fundraising campaign to boost the budget of the Vandals athletic program. Idaho and rap: back together for the first time! On blocks. Percy Harvin's going into the shop for the spring with all due haste: his heel injury is worse than anticipated, and as heel injuries tend to go has affected his knee and possibly his hip. An untreated heel injury is a mother: we didn't have knee problems until we seriously bruised our heel in a bike wreck, ran on it too soon, and then wobbled the whole leg out of alignment. And we're not athletic. At all. A performance yardage machine like Harvin with a heel injury is worth calling in the out-of-state specialists in addition to Florida staff member Dr. Pete Indelicato, who has the most ironic of names for a sports medicine specialist. Fresno State will play you and a squad full of bobcats in uniform, sir. Kansas State, despite promises of "aggressive scheduling," has booted Fresno State from the 2008 football schedule and replaced them with Montana State, who will surely show them the LIVING HELL OF BIG SKY FOOTBALL in person. Fresno State, nonplussed, picked up a game with Rutgers like it was nothing and soldiers on. Pat Hill ain't skurred, son--and he's got $250K from K-State for the schedule change, too. Which is nice. Jahvid Best, the leading candidate for the instant NFL paycheck that comes with being the starting tailback at Cal, worked out in practice yesterday for the first time this spring. Best was wonky with a hip injury from last year but ran agility drills and cut on the injured leg with ease. Tedfordbot registered signs of pleasure at this news. |

Wow! That Vandals song is righteous!
“…and everybody clap your hands. We’re the Vandals of I-D-A-H-O. We come here on stage tonight to do our show for you. We got a rockin rhythm and a hi-tech sound that’ll make you move your body down to the ground. We got Poindexter on the violin, and Lewis and Gilbert will be joining. We got Booger Presley on the mean guitar and a rap by little ol’ me Lamar….”

Looks like Ron Prince is trying to outdo even Bill Snyder’s legacy of pansy-ass scheduling. “Any idiot can schedule I-AA games; I’m going to boot legitimate opponents off our schedule and REPLACE them with I-AA games!”

Doug,
Prince saw the success that Mangino had last year w/ a sucky and became full of the jealous.

One of Cal’s RBs wants to transfer… James Montgomery is looking at Florida, South Carolina and Washington State. He’s supposedly toured Florida and South Carolina and didn’t get an offer from Florida yet- not sure is we offered yet. Anyone know the latest or can dispel this?

+1 TheDeuce… at first I thought I was the lyrics to the Super Bowl Shufffle, but then I read further.

What if Harvin can’t go in the fall? What if Moody doesn’t pick it up? What if Tebow has a sophomore slump? Thank God for the defense!
Oh, shit.

you better pray to allah that wannstedt doesn’t read your comment, lest he track you down and subject you to a mind-numblingly boring and wholly ineffective attack

Mea Culpa. Tebow’s a Junior. Catastrophe avoided.

I can’t help but wonder if they made that song just so bloggers would put it up on their pages. The damn thing is blogger-bait of the first degree. Blogger baiting should be an integral part of being the PR person in an athletics operation.

If (Steve Austin x 10) keeps this up, he might be suspended for the opener.

Sadly, while RP appears to be an asshole, he wasn’t enough of a miscreant for Fulmer Cup points.

K State’s logic is flawless – where would you rather spend a football weekend – Bozeman or Fresno? Montana, hands down.
Orson, we need a yearly Fulmer Cup All-Star team by position. 1st & 2nd team.

Pssssst—if anyone cares to make the trek out to Pasadena for Labor Day weekend, I am planning the tailgate to end all tailgates. Mark yr calendars.

Holly…You must have bear meat steaks for it to be considered the tailgate to end all tailgates. Otherwise, it’s just a hurricane force tailgate.

Man, wtf?!? Tell me sumt’n. Why the hell is RP still allowed on the team after all his shenanigans, but Garcia is kicked off the Gamecock squad until August for having a beer and calling passers-by names?!?
Is it because Miles has squat in the QB stable, whereas SOS has throughbreds to spare? pfffft.

Holly – you need to serve crushed pomegranite cobbler!

RP tossing out racial slurs at a Japanese restaurant. He too remembers Pearl Harbor.
by Allahver Fist on Apr 2, 2008 11:27 AM EDT reply actions
Maybe this is a stepup for K-State… I mean I cant remember how many teams Fresno actually BEAT…. but I know I’ve seen Montana beat Colorado….. Big Sky > Big 12 North??

Brian @ 20, Holly @ 21 – No need to go hunting, mascot roast is just a click away.

Sept. 1: UCLA v Tennessee
Sept. 20: ASU v. Georgia
It appears that after September, one of us (PAC or SEC) will have to shut the fuck up about superiority for a bit.
Settling things on the field?!?!? Unheard of! Nice to see GA finally heard about the miracle of air travel.

- Are you honestly complaining about the severity of an off-season suspension (issued by the school, not SOS, BTW) that includes zero actual games for a kid that has had three Fulmer Cup worthy incidents in just over a year? Or did I just miss the sarcasm again?

How does running from the pigs, keying a car, or minor possession of a beer even compare to
1. Involved/associated with fight in apartment complex parking lots, da club, etc.
2. Counterfeiting cash
3. Credit card fraud
4. Anger management issue at titty bar
5. Anger management issue restaurant/calling people racial slurs
Oh I get it… the first set of offenses are convictions and the other set are “under investigation.”

#6, Montgomery already left the team, he is currently looking for a new team. He has said that he’ll go to Florida if offered.
…of course, I’d sleep with Jessica Alba, if offered.
and #28: I’m pretty sure most people in the Pac 10 want UCLA to lose, either way. And I doubt many tears would be shed if Dennis Erickson was pancaked. I’m a Cal fan and I want ASU and UCLA to be shown their respective places.
