“who believes all-girls schools lead to �rampant lesbianism”

Isn’t that pretty much the best reason to have all-girls schools?

as extra punishment for formerly employing june jones, the gators should wear white. second quarter rolls around, the gators comfortably in the shade, and little ol’ hawaii getting EXPOSED with the sun beating down on their black/dark dark green jerseys. suffering will build character.

@32:

You ain’t kidding. I got to sit in the 5th row one game… dear lord. The temperature jumps about 20 degrees down there. It’s like the field is a giant goddamn space heater/humidifier combo. I damn near passed out from heat exhaustion from WATCHING the game (Florida style, of course. What’s this sitting thing? But STILL.)

95 translated to yeah, about 110ish on the field, and over 90% humidity. And the UF players are used to it, I sincerely doubt Hawai’i is… I mean, two of the best heat-exhaustion related advances in football have been made at the University of Florida (Gatorade and these things: http://vam.anest.ufl.edu/coolpads/ ) for a reason…

In ref. to the Switzer insider trading thing: he absolutely did (as per rumor, but rumor from people who would know. I think it had something to do with the fall of Penn. Square Bank in the mid ’80’s. For those unaware of that, it was a pretty huge deal and damnit…if not for that I could have been a trust-fund kid). He also slept with his offensive coordinator’s wife the night before some Orange Bowl in the late ’70s or early ’80s. Despite all this, he does have a strong interest in charity. Through my job, I’ve been involved with a couple of different charity events. He’s always one of the first celebrity-ish persons to sign on and does whatever he can. Furthermore, I think Emperor Switzer already lords over the state of Oklahoma. He did get Brad Henry elected gov. over Steve Largent (yes, this state of mine has a distinct problem as far as politics go. At least OKC/Norman and Tulsa are, within context, populated with normal, mostly educated people.). I do need to get a petition started on the new state motto.

Coop – confirming memory of Switzer insider-trading case, I think it was actually in my Corporations case book;

sb – any breeze that attempted to enter BHGS at FF prior to the North endzone going up was immediately dimembowled by the heat rage of the astrocarpet; there’s actually a chance for more shade late in the games now, esp. with the expanded westside.

re: Hawai’i in the Swamp at 12:30pm…even their eyeballs will be sweating…and there won’t be any breeze…not since the north endzone went high. And the bottom of the sink-hole that is the playing surface of Florida Field will be in the 110-20 degree range. Think “sauna”.

Now Georgia/NCAA I do remember quite vividly from Antitrust. I recall being excited by the prospect of in the event the case did not disappoint.

I’m inclined to think we didn’t look at the Switzer case because its not one I would be likely to have forgotten.

I studied the UGA-NCAA thing in my anti-trust class at USC (econ minor to my engineering major). Didn’t they leave the NCAA at one time and form the CFA to protect their TV rights and number of games, or something like that?

We see through your wicked machinations, Swindle.

Heap more superlative praise on Special K during the off-season than he can hope to live up to in his sophomore campaign.

Damn you!

@ 25 – I want to say it was in the Notes section, which means you will have to go on a fishing expedition of some sort.

I don’t recall why I didn’t dogear the pages, because now I cannot find it, either.

But, it is not something I forgot.

Also, the Antitrust matter Georgia and Oklahoma brought against the NCAA was a fun read, but that is in the Antitrust text, naturally.

Congrats to Oklahoma and UGa for sticking to the man and giving us as much college football as we are blessed with, today.

1.) The web-article-slideshow-filler-crap about Rich Brooks actually included ALL 12 SEC coaches “on the hot seat”. What do you expect from The Tennessean?

B.) Of course all-girls schools lead to “rampant lesbianism”… don’t you watch porn? I’m sure the good senator from Oklahoma does.

Coop,

I don’t recall the Switzer case and a quick look from my Sec Reg case book has not brought any revelations. I did remind me that I took Sec Reg 10 years ago this spring. Yikes

@blon – I was laughing as I read it.

The world needs Switzer back in some power-wielding capacity.
Can’t we make him a US Diplomat and film a reality show about it?

Albino Tornado @ 13

Its not just the cold and the heat. The Florentine was most creative in devising apposite punishments for all sorts of activities. One fears for the knees of the Auburn O-Line coaches and players in consideration of the techniques they do not teach and do not execute on the field.
