Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

OREGON LINEMEN MAKE A CALENDAR SO HOT YOU WILL DIE LOOKING AT IT

"Cameron, you thought you wouldn't see anything good today. But you got to watch me bagpipe Sloane. You got to watch me strangle a hot dog vendor with a timing belt for looking at me in an odd way. And you got to watch me set fire to a hot air balloon to show your father the true meaning of the tyranny of gravity. Don't tell me you haven't seen anything good today."

From the Ferris Bueller's Day Off script, as remixed by Orson Swindle.

Ferris promised things. And today, reader, so do we. Today, you get to behold the majesty of the Oregon offensive linemen's calendar, put together by the husky but powerful men of the Ducks line. The article intro'ing the thing is: well: poetry.

He’s wearing scuba gear, holding a harpoon. The belted, Euro-style swim trunks could have come from James Bond’s wardrobe.

But it isn’t the accessories, or the svelte physique, that make the photograph sizzle.

“My eyes are amazing,” he says. “You can’t teach that.”

Caveat: Before we begin mocking them, let us just say at the start that the Oregon offensive line is now the official EDSBS Offensive Line of Preference for 2008 for doing this. The photos all emit cheek, verve, and a brisk and perverse sense of humor we've come to know and love in offensive linemen. The photos are fucking hilarious. Nothing can take away from this, or from the linemen's bearish charm and willingness to pose semi-clothed for a good cause.

Now: gay jokes and other mockeries.

Nothing we can say can improve this already perfect photo. Further verbiage debases its excellence.

Star-divide

MINDFREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!
MINDFREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!
MINDFREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!
MINDFREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!

"That's a nice buck, dude. Good shot."

"Yeah, but the antlers seem small."

"A bit."

"And it's wearing a reflective vest."

"Sure is."

"And holding a stop sign."

"..."

"..."

"Man, those kids are freaking out."

"Let's get her on the ATV NOW."

"Those wind sprints killed me today, man."

"Me, too. Hey, you know what else is killing me? YOUR WEAK GRIP. Get it closer to the base."

"Like that?"

"Finally! Remember: we're just celebrating each other's strength."

"We're majoring in animal husbandry."

"Yeah. He's the husband. I'm the animal."

"Stop it."

"No YOU stop it!"

[/slapfight]

Flummoxed by reality. CORE LOGIC BREACH IMMINENT NEXT...

It's the least appealing gay personal ad ever: "BIG man with even BIGGER wrench looking for BIG NUTS to twist until your WHEELS FALL OFF. Um, or just for coffee or something. I promise no nut-twisting." Either that, or one of the selling points for linemen coming to Oregon is a special habitat where, for the first time in their lives, they may feel as small and dainty as little girls.

Perhaps you have never seen a man emerge from a ditch full of runoff behind your house. And, extending this hypothetical line of questioning, you probably would not consider dating that man. Let me implore you to abandon this line of thinking, because, contrary to what your brain may be telling you, the man emerging from the tepid, bacteria-rife waters of your pesticide-laden runoff ditch is a gentleman of great sensitivity and charm who, following a thorough cleansing with several industrial solvents, will love you like no other man you've ever met or will meet in the future.

Oh, and that tank on my back? It's filled to the brim with nitrous oxide. I, like the poet, love laughter and mystery. Let me share it with you, frightened homeowner.

Don't call it a barrel. Call it my "danger corset," or just marvel at the world's biggest codpiece in action. I'm up to my nipples in scotch as this photo is being taken. Don't act like the envy isn't giving you a rectal tumor just thinking about how good this feels for me, because it's better than you can possibly imagine.

And finally: the soundtrack the slide show needed all along.

HT: Clay and Robert.

This calendar never could’ve sprung from Georgia Tech to begin with, because all the photos would be of the linemen sitting around in their jammies playing World of Warcraft.

And 28 is Reason # 2,453,549 that nobody has ever accused Georgia alums of being creative.

The next Georgia fan that throws up a “Tech students and alums are dork,” joke that has been run into the ground, I am responding with, “did you play high school football, or ANY organized football, in your life, for that matter?” response.

Because if you didn’t, well you are just a pussy and you should not be looking at any college or pro sports football blogs.

I mean, if Ryan Seacrest could play high school football, and you were scared to get hit, what does it say about your manhood?

The point in the above is that both have been run into the ground.

I would imagine UGa has their fair share of World of Warcraft players, although I can’t say that I ever met any during my numerous visits to Athens in college, or whatever the WOW equivalent was back then.

This is really just too easy……….I could work comedy from these pics for weeks…especially if I was a D-Line coach from any of their opponents…
“Your really gonna let these guys block you?…..really?

From the article:

“But the offensive linemen? These guys are built more like, well — did you know the proceeds will go to the National Childhood Obesity Foundation? And yes, you’re tracking along with the linemen, who chose the charity because, as Jeff Kendall says, “we all grew up as fat kids.””

So it goes toward a good cause. But yes, recommence the laughter.

BTW, how can a school that is so gay, yet be so poor in academics? Frickin Nebraska is a better academic institution (per US News) than Oregon.

I’ll say this from the get-go; I’m the photographer and designer for the Oregon offensive line calendar and an alum of the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication.

I’m satisfied we’re all laughing at these giants; their ominous demeanor on the field (and in public) makes these images all the more ironic. But calling into question the quality of academics at the University of Oregon will now elicit a personal and pointed lambasting that might just get me barred from EDSBS . . .

MeatyBob – Yes MB you are an idiot, and not just any idiot, but a thick-browed, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing idiot. Not only did you spell “stupid” wrong but you also confused the contraction “they’re” with the word “there”. Go check your notes from elementary school. And if you’re going to quote a news magazine at least make it one with more words than pictures . . . but then again . . . maybe you shouldn’t.

Tracy Pennington – Wrong orange dumb-ass. They’re wearing day-glow orange, not the burnt orange the Beavers use in their color scheme.

And MB do you see how I used the contraction “they’re” and not “there”? That’s the grammatically correct way and you might also notice I used the third homophone “their“ . . . oh shit . . . I said homophone. Commence with the gay jokes you morons.

Boozy McHound — Obviously your Latin sucks; either that or you have in your head somewhere you’re reading Spanish.

And finally to you EDSBS — You are using my images without my permission and have been for the past two weeks (it’s true, the University of Oregon does not own them) and this is what copyright law calls “illegal”. I charge $200 for the use of each photo, so you’ve now racked up $1,800 in usage fees. I’ll have my lawyer call your lawyer.

OK?
