“AD Kevin White takes off for Duke after eight years as the Athletic Director for the job at Duke,”

Might want to say Notre Dame in there somewhere :P

Is my reading comprehension that bad or did Kevin White just land a double jeopardy AD job at Duke?

Damn it, you got my hopes up about the Target, until I clicked the link and saw it was the same old rumor that’s been going around for two years now. Everyone knows that Tupelo will get a Target LONG before Oxford gets one.

Target rules. Those Archer Farms curry chips are fucking delicious.

Mark “No NCAA” Townsend
Mark Townsend (D)

Townsend provided the following information to NewsChannel 19:

My name is Mark Townsend, I was born in Alabama. I do not believe we went to the moon. I believe the Van Allen Belt is the hand of God and Dust on the moon makes Plutomium Looks like a birthday party.

I believe the attacks on 9-11 was an inside job, It took over a year to form the 9-11 commission with a budget of eight million tax dollars, compared to twenty four hours and over one hundred million tax dollars to investigate stains on a blue dress.

The Bush family owns NCAA, Mitre Corporation and a big part of the Federal Reserve. ( a private closed incorporation.) I like the Iron Bowl (DELETED FOR EDITORIAL CONTENT) almost as much as chewing tobacco. The spirit of America has one foot in a grave and the other foot on a banana peeling, Thanks to the NCAA. America must open their eyes to see that NCAA is not just slave master just to sports also Master over many powers over people in America.

I believe the people of the Huntsville area are the best hope to fix America. It is said Coach Bryant once put Joe Namath in on Defense, He intercepted a pass which won the game, when the game was over the Press ask Coach Bryant " Why did you put Joe in on Defense" and Coach Bryant said, "We tried everything we knew as Coaches to stop Florida. It was not working so we put in our Best Athlete and hope for the best.

The people of Huntsville area are America’s Joe.

Do you think white smoke will be released from TD Jesus’s fingertips at the selection of a new AD?

I feel a Dan Brown novel comin’ on!!

I bounced a check to McDonald’s in Auburn for a Big Mac in 1994. It ended up being a $22.00 hamburger.

When the white smoke comes out of a 3rd floor window in Alumni Hall, you’ll know a new AD has been named.

“Switzer-esque”? And we still can’t run the damn ball? Hangs head in shame.

I wrote a check for the tip at a Sizzler in Tuscaloosa in 1989.

They had the all-you-can-eat buffet on Sunday (and the yeast rolls!), a fantastic concept for the football weekend hangover-curing meal.

It was near the end of the month – before the next check came in from the First National Bank of Mom & Dad. I had enough cash to cover my meal but not the tip. How fucking broke do you have to be to write a check for the tip at Sizzler?

That Alabama election is for real, i think:

[Swanson’s] campaign platform includes moving the United Nations’ headquarters from New York to Montgomery because he says New Yorkers give foreign delegates the wrong impression about the United States.

College — the only place you can write check for $1.09 and no one bats an eye. Of course my Mom always wondered why there were so many checks for $3.23 (cigarettes) and $4.07 (Natural Lite).

Given the speedy pace of Catholic bureaucracy, this means the next Notre Dame AD will be announced sometime around the year 2201.

And the sucessful candiate will still have to deal with Charlie “I love my contract” Weiss.

My first visit to oxford was in 2002, and I couldn’t get over how the fast food resturants (Taco Bell, Burger King, etc) used still used signs and logos from the mid-1980’s.

I’m still unsure whether this was deliberate or not.

Trojan Wire was an “interesting” read.

So, what you are saying is that you understand why Charlie Weis is not in danger of losing his job due to:

A) the AD position at ND is one of impotency and the PTB love Weis or will be the ones to make the decision, regardless

AND

B) Weis’ massive, long term contract with the horrendous buyout, one ND could easily afford except that they don’t fire their own, or those they like, until it becomes beyond necessary…

yet you speculatively come to the wrong conclusion, anyway?

Fair enough.

I wrote checks to both Zaxby’s and Guthrie’s well into 2002 while in Athens.

“My first visit to oxford was in 2002, and I couldn’t get over how the fast food resturants (Taco Bell, Burger King, etc) used still used signs and logos from the mid-1980’s.”

You say that like it’s a bad thing. One of my favorite fast food establishments in Athens, GA is the Arby’s with the old giant cowboy hat sign and obstinate lack of a drive-thru.

Every time I pass a Hardee’s with the old signs, think some of the less populated areas in SC, I stop in, thinking they will have fried chicken.

50% of the time, I am correct.

Who needs a Target in Oxford when you can get good chicken-on-a-stick and tater logs at the Chevron?

I hope that guy at least got a bowl of soup with that shirt. And some GEN—IT-ALLIAAA!!!

It is neither bad nor good, just peculiar.

Does Oxfart have cold beer other than draft these days?

Starksville had privately owned ABC stores in 1972 yet was dry for beer on or off premise for years afterward.

That’s Mississippi for ya.

Wow, no more wondering what the meaning of life is anymore. Afterall, this dude distills it down to its purest form. SHOW ME YOUR GENITALS! What more could there be?

Oxford has the same number of Targets as Manhattan.

Yoyo, oddly enough, we bought cold beer at the grocery store in Oxford last Fall before the Gator game. I’m not sure what changed or when it changed, but I was shocked. If memory serves me correctly, the liquor store next door (strip mall) only sold wine and liquor, but was fully stocked with hot co-ed poontang when we were there.

With those views, methinks Mr. Townsend is electable in several southern states. Alabama is truly blessed.

Ouch, I wrote a check at McDonalds in Manhattan, KS at least as recently as 2002.

Wow! Ferentz must be one bad mofo. I can’t get my dog to quit pissing on the rug. Of course, it’s not a doberman either.

Checks? Kidz today barely know what they are. It’s all about the ATM cards nowdays.

This may be my favorite part about the inept pillow attack.

Even though she is small in stature, “she punched him and more or less chased him down the hallway,” the chief said. Marshall is 6-feet-7, 290 pounds.

jason @ 16,

zaxby’s is highly, HIGHLY underrated. they have started to creep into the dallas market, but it is waaaaay to damn far away. they should really expand into dallas proper. (writing this in case any zaxby’s executives read edsbs)

Coop @ 15

That link didn’t go to Trojan Wire. It went to Inside USC, a blog by a douchebag who works for a local fishwrap. No connection to the university and often low quality in general.

Trojan Wire has a story up reveling in the scandal at UCLA, where they’ve apparently been giving organ transplants to Yakuza gangsters and getting big cash donations in return.

Gerry, any place that serves crinkle cut school lunch fries cannot be underrated.

while in college I had a box of checks stolen out of my mailbox. It took me a couple days to notice and report them stolen to the bank, but the thief had already used 3 of the checks- for a total of about $12. Checks were written to the Checkers, Spectrum, and CVS.
from the looks of the amounts it appears the crook wanted a burger & fries, a 6-pack, and some condoms.

31 – shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I got in on the Zaxby’s franchising in NC too late.

Some enterprising Texan should get in on the Zaxby’s franchising, open up 5 or so and prepare to reap the windfall.

I am not saying they run themselves, probably harder to run than a Chic-Fil-A given that CFA basically has 3 menu items, but doesn’t appear to be too hard given that corporate gives you a formula that does not fail.

Zax’s sauce is the freaking bomb! It could even make boiled okra good.

Allahver-

Wonders will never cease. Of course, the hot poontang in Oxpatch is rightly called the Eighth Wonder of the Southern World. (Elvis, Earnhardt, Bear, Strom, Richard Petty, Bo Jackson and Spaghetti Junction in Lanner are the first seven).

BTW, you’ll be surprized at the tail in W-S when you play the Drunken Demons in September.

Archer Farms Three-Bean Salsa. Buy it.

Kevin White will do for Duke football what he’’s done for the Golden Dome. How does Duke steal a guy away from a traditional powerhouse like Notre Dame? What a coup for Duke plucking this guy off the Notre Dame tree. Now that they have White in just a few years Duke’s schedule is going to start getting tougher and tougher. This is probably due to White’s great prestige. My guess is it will get progressively more difficult to find wins on the Duke schedule in the years to come.

I’’m sure that the scenery in Oxford lives up to the billing, but let me tell you that the “Genitles” song was certainly NSFW when you have to walk across a campus in SoCal on a beautiful warm early june day and you have that song stuck in your head.

I cant help but hear in my head, everytime I write a check, the old Foxworthy line….
“You take checks? Why hell, I’ll go ahead and pay this baby off right now…..sheesh, I thought you people wanted money or something.”
