Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

WE'LL BITE: THE FACE OF THE PROGRAM, EDSBS-STYLE

Tiny by Orson on

In a concept as meaningful and innovative as their "Who's Now" segments, ESPN is asking college football fans to submit their suggestions for "The Face of The Program:"

Every football school has a Face of the Program, that iconic image you think of when talking football on campus. Here's your chance to help define who or what that is. Is it that fabled coach? A legendary player? A memorable play? A unique mascot? SportsNation is taking all suggestions as you help decide the Face of the Program.

Oh, boy howdy do we ever have suggestions! And they're all totally sincere trust us yes! For your school, if you're as fond of mockery as we are, you'll go ahead and submit one of our handy nominees listed below. Feel free to copy and paste the image location, as we'd like nothing more than

Florida.

Star-divide

Miami.

Michigan.

South Florida.

Alabama.


Alabama program image currently property of Auburn University, a Subsidiary of Bobby Lowder Enterprises.

Ohio State.

Notre Dame.


Well, what are we supposed to use? Knute Rockne?

South Carolina

Saw a S Carolina fan the other day sporting cargo jorts, jesus sandles, and the ever popular 2006 Liberty Bowl Champs T shirt. i apologize for not having a camera to capture the brilliance.

A composite of The Orgeron ripping his shirt & Houston Nutt, The Dancing Egg for the Webbles.
Optional are crying images of Robert Khayat and Pete Boone.

Not to mention Dickie Scruggs in prison duds.

I’m actually honored by the Ohio State one. I was expecting shit in a cooler or something. I mean, c’mon guys, we haven’t done then since AT LEAST 2006.

Holy shit…this thread is killing me. The ND dolphin, Baby Sex Cannon nursing….there are no words.

by Darkknight on Jun 9, 2008 8:04 PM EDT reply actions  

For clarification, the ND photo of the dolphin was meant as a purely random changeup from the usual jokes. However, we have decided to call him “Pepper the Notre Dame Comeback Dolphin.”

After the NCAA labeled Chief Illiniwek ‘hostile and abusive,’ the University of Illinois set about to find another symbol for the school’s athletic teams. Asked specifically about the possibility of being the only Bowl Subdivision team without a mascot, Head Coach [Name Redacted] promised, “we’ll get it corrected.”

And did they ever. In an unprecedented effort, Illinois fans commissioned Illie (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b329/illie24/shua/illie_looks_like.jpg) as a replacement. Illie is a loveable, and more importantly, wholly inoffensive symbol of the one of America’s greatest public universities.

[Any resemblance to the mascot of Western Kentucky University, Grimace and /or Charlie Weis is wholly coincidental]

Was there any doubt that singlet guy would become the face of South Florida?

I had a sweet idea for a t-shirt that involved a dolphin in a tie. I am incredibly bummed to know that such a ridiculous image has already been created.

maybe someone heard me talking about it….

when i opened yours, all i could think was “dude, his dad owns a dealership”

it was only a matter of time before adult swim fully permeated the cfb mascot world…perhaps one day we’ll see UGA Early on the sideline…?

OS, can we get a t-shirt made with the ND dolphin? i’m heading back to south bend for the ND/michigan game, b/c i’m a glutton for punishment and mediocre football, and i’d really like to rock a t-shirt with my beloved Irish’s new mascot

oh, and here’s the obvious for Ok State

Anyway, for MSU, It’s Johnny Spirit. You tell me how he gets that S on his back.
