Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

THANKS, ATNOINE

Jokes, writing themselves. Us, standing back and trying not to ruin them.

Senior permanent captain Antoine Caldwell had his name misspelled in the cement along with the other Crimson Tide captains from years past. So now you can look and find Kenny Stabler, Johnny Musso, John Hannah and Atnoine Caldwell.

Oh, there are pictures, and they're better than photoshop.

That is kind of like putting a crocodile on the front of your program instead of a gator, in a less permanent (written in stone) sort of way.

#2…they’re both crocodilians from a biological classification standpoint…

The picture…that is what is known as a “power-mullet”.

The article…if they hadn’t reported the misspelling, no one would have known…or cared.

Later in the article…O., these guys are plagiarizing your site…I only mentioned here on EDSBS that the trophy was a holograph, nowhere else, and they just stated that the trophy is now 3,178 trophies…frickin’ rippin’ me off.

sb @ 3 – Re:crocodilian- that’s tantamount to saying that the statement, “if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle” isn’t true because they are both humans, from a biological classification standpoint.

If you follow one of the links, you find out that the dude who shattered Florida’s ’06 crystal football is named Orson.

#5…touche! Speaking of which, I took fencing at Florida…best. class. evar…I started going out with one classmate hottie, then switched to another…the first one was so pissed off she nearly killed me…wouldn’t stop with the foil even after she kicked my ass. She even nailed me as I walked off the mat in defeat. Amazing how a sword in the hand of a woman scorned can bring out questionable character traits…yeah, I deserved it…

Ryan Perrilloux may be an international criminal mastermind, but the man can spell his own name at least.

He even spells the fake ones on all his phony IDs correctly.

They didn’t want anyone to cross reference his name with the police blotter on their i-phones. That is all, paypulll.

Those Irons brothers unintentionally created a firestorm with their misspellings!! (more deflection!)

Not to say that the incident isn’t laugh worthy, because it totally is, but it wasn’t Caldwell himself that did it, it was, I’m sure, a facilities worker for the school made the mistake, who isn’t required to have much education to work there and form concrete. Caldwell is a fairly smart guy (insert textbook joke here). If memory serves he is graduating this summer and will be in grad school next season as he works toward earning the Remington Trophy. He made a poor choice last year but all in all he is a good egg – hence the captain award. A 60-million dollar man comparison isn’t really relative. Funny maybe, but not relative.

Cement is an ingredient in concrete. This is a concrete, not cement, sidewalk. There are no cement buildings, columns, floors, etc. either. Concrete, every one of them.

Guess they don’t pay the grounds crew to read.

I wish I could have been there to see Saban’s face the moment they unveiled the plaque. He probably had the person responsible sodomized with a log of Kodiak.

Too bad for Antoine Caldwell, though. He’s a good kid (overlooking a minor textbook mistake) and deserved better. Thing is, he’ll be captain again this year and will have his name engraved before the 2009 A-Day game. Maybe they’ll F’ it up again..

by Johnnie Cochring on Apr 16, 2008 11:58 PM EDT reply actions  

Right – There are two proper spellings, as anyone knows: “Antwan” or “Ontiwuan.” Atnoine is not close.

by CanisFamiliaris on Apr 17, 2008 9:11 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, it had to be grounds crews or something. I know a degree isn’t required for that job, but I have a hard time believe a guy who graduated in 3 years flat is going to mis-spell his own name.
