WHEEE! Look, a Florida defensive back with the ball in his hands!
Orange and Blue game is this Saturday. Pete Carroll told us we were a bit overexcited-looking this morning…on Facebook, of course. The game will be televised on ESPN at 1 p.m. Yes, this is sick…and glorious. It is your fault you do not have x-ray vision. Malcolm Kelly, OU receiver, ran a leisurely 4.68 at Oklahoma’s pro day, and naturally, it is not his fault. “Certain people have tried to hold me down, and they know who they are,” Kelly said after the workout. “I wouldn’t say the whole OU coaching staff, but certain people, I would say that.” He’s talking about the apparent misdiagnosis of a quadriceps tear initially labeled a “deep thigh bruise,” which in most cases we assume to be “Um, not so sure, but man the big dude does not like it when you touch his thigh on training table.” Stoops thinks this is unfair, natch: “I don’t think that is fair,” Stoops said. “A lot of deep tissue injuries take a while to figure out. Our doctors do as good a job as anybody in the country. Regardless of what his injury was, misdiagnosed or not, it was a deep tissue injury. He never played. It isn’t like he played a game and re-hurt it. He would not have done anything different than he’s done, which is rest it for a long period of time, which he did, and rehab it.” Bethune-Cookman doesn’t play in the Fulmer Cup. Pity they’re not divison one: BCC running back Brandon Wright not only gets an arrest for pulling a shotgun on a guy who owed him money, but also earns trafficking cocaine within 1,000 feet of a school, home invasion robbery and false imprisonment–and these are “among other charges.” We’ll update, as we may just deem this worthy of an Ellis T. Jones III award for individual achievement. Paul Petrino, the offensive coordinator at Arkansas, is chasing wide receivers around the field for forty yards after every catch. This explains why, Arkansas student, you saw Razorback teammates idly throwing objects at miserable Hawg wideouts, who are now conditioned to sprint 40 yards after they catch any thrown object. Stop them before they run into traffic! Artrell Woods laughs at your paper cut. A year after getting a dislocated spine in a freak weight room injury, Artrell Woods will likely play football in one form or another for Oklahoma State this fall. You’re going to the gym today, Nancy, whether you like it or not, because Artrell woods dropped 185 pounds on his neck and he’s asking to get hit again. |

Just a heads up for any peeps interested in the Masters out there. It looks like you can watch it live on the computer starting at 10:45am today and tomorrow…Better than a dislocated spine.

The downside to that Florida picture is that the pass was thrown by a Florida quarterback…

Dude, no more whitewashing — it’s called the “Orange and Blue Debut” and you know it. Which conjures up images of UF players taking the field in frilly pastel-hued orange and blue dresses. Or maybe just Emmanuel Moody.

Emmanuel Moody will be wearing leggings, thank you very much.

Slow down a second there O….what’s this thing where my Hog receivers “catch” the “ball”. Shouldn’t they be working on blocking downfield?

I am ashamed of Bob Stoops…after cutting his teeth at Spurrier’s side, he deigns to respond to an underperforming athlete’s accusation in a defensive manner…everyone knows “fair” is a “circus with pigs”, dammit.
And isn’t it evident that the Gators new db coach has those guys breathing through their eyelids? Somehow warps the time/space continuum to place the player in front of the ball…kinda cool, for a change.

#7: Blocking downfield for who this year? Casey Dick on the QB draw?

Thanks for thinking of us, but, no. We wouldn’t want to deprive Stoops of the pleasure of Kelly’s company.

I work in the biz and know the difference between spondylosis and spondylothesis but have never heard of a dislocated spine.
Of course, that being said, I think I’d prefer my spine be “located”.

#11: 9 did not forget that Houston Nutt is gone, but wanted to point out subtly that McFadden and Jones are gone.

Orson, just as the AP made an exception for Appalachian State in their polls, so must you in awarding Brandon Wright the Ellis T. Jones III Award!!
Certain exceptional efforts require special recognition!

Jerkwheat says:
And I was just pointing out that I am confused by the idea of my team’s WRs doing anything besides blocking downfield over the course of the past decade or so.
Also, Brandon Barnett is the new beast – GET TO KNOW HIM!

One of the best quotes from the movie “Bull Durham.”
“He’s wearing a ladies garter and breathing through his eyelids like a lava lizard. Aztec or Mayan, I’m not sure which.”
O, sorry about the baseball reference.

A fraternity brother of mine who was a kicker for our (small D-2 college) football team made a tackle on the opening kick of a football game.
On said kick, he fractured a few vertebrae. Played (aka flung himself downfield with alacrity on kickoffs) the rest of the game, then had to be airlifted to the hospital.
Pretty hardcore right there.

#16…!!!, that and something about a million dollar arm “…and that 10-cent head of yours…, c’mon, Meat…bring it!”
I am a fan of women who can maintain their cleavage somewhere north of their solar plexus, but despite her shortcomings Susan Sarandon was pure hottness as Annie.

Brandon Wright was just a one time offense. Ellis T. Jones III does not have time for this shit.

Glad to hear that woods is walking and maybe playing.
That was a disturbing injury.

It was an errant Tebow pass, which explains the jarring loose of the helmet and the look of anguish.
…and the doubtlessly collapsed lungs.
