COUNTDOWN: 59

Half the field, half the field,
Half the field onward,
All in the stadium of Doak
Rode six hundred Jenn Stergers.

I hope I am not the only one who is utterly flummoxed by these posts.

It kills me to do this, but I’d rather be the bringer of bad news.

GT dances boldly onto the Fulmer Cup board.

Apparently Jerrard wanted to make up for there being no Fulmer Cup during the Reuban Houston mess.

O-
Oregon has evidently gotten into the comic book publishing business. A comedy goldmine awaits.

I never envisioned Ozymandias as Bobby (and I’m sure Shelley didn’t either) but it fits very nicely.

I’m utterly flummoxed by those not hot Nole cheerleaders. Is there anything that hasn’t been in rapid decline at FSU?

1. - if this is the way he carries the football, then he’ll be a hero to all opposing defenses.

Great thanks Tarrant. What’s the point breakdown for the Fulmer Cup again?

While not up to your standards, I’m sure that they would look better naked.

Laugh if you want, but that comic book raised his draft status by at least 20 picks

Devestating

ah found the scoring

Seriously, those cheerleaders are fug. Tons of smoking hot chicks on the fsu campus, clearly none of them are going out for the cheerleading squad.

Given FSU’s offense the past several years, I think we can all speculate as to what is the only thing getting up and down on that field. However, like the FSU offense, it also requires help from modern science

Yep, this really sucks, but we’ve got to take the points coming to us.

Lump me in with the crowd who thinks it is hilarious when anonymous Internet posters dissect the appearances of photographed females, but I too would have thought that the FSU cheerleaders would have been more attractive, given the impressiveness of their female student body, overall.

More surprised than anything.

Re: cheerleader criticisms:

The talent level on the field is vastly inferior to that in the stands.
I mean really, as a Gator it doesn’t pain me to say that ’Nole chicks are hotter. And dumber. And loose.

Those FSU cheerleaders should stick to commenting on blogs if they don’t like others commenting on their looks….

“Who watches The Watchmen???”

yarrr….having been on a ship at sea since January I will say those lassies are a wee bit hot as I see ’em

and that feller in the middle has what would pass on my ship for a purty mouth

Civilization 4 quote, number 2.

I’m keeping my eye on you, Mr. Hall.

Jacketdan and Techie….

No sarcastic response (i.e. tickle pile) reference here. I grieve the demise of college football as being akin to indentured servitude. Where is recruitment headed?

Pay your dues, enrich your sponsor and (hopefully) take advantage of the opportunities/ entitlements/contacts one obtains by ACTUALLY putting forth an effort (NFL) and/or obtaining a degree.

Public intoxication, urination outside of norms and falsification of birth dates, while illegal, are somewhat acceptable given the maturity and circumstances of most 18 year old males. Rape, assault, armed robbery and drug dealing are not. Under no circumstances can one portray these actions as “high jinks”.

Which I wish to remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark,
And tricks that are plain,
That the heathen Chinee is peculiar,
Which the same I would rise to explain.

Bobby be Bobby.

What prompted that?

@ 23

God bless you for setting those Tech people straight, because obviously they believe that those offenses, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, are laughing matters, especially regarding the Tech athlete in question.

I love the Internet Chivalry Hero.

I refuse to believe that anybody who visits this website thinks occurrences such as the Tech incident are anything other than atrocious, downright inhuman.

We all laugh at the Fulmer Cup, but I doubt any of the victims, male or female, of the violent offenses that score many of these points find this exercise amusing.

Whomever wins is going to have, in all likelihood, some violent offenders, albeit probably not as bad as rape, and everyone will have a guffaw or two.

Will you be there to wag your finger, then?

You also categorize drug dealing as something worse than “boys being boys.” Did you give the Alabama fans who were mocking their own, and of course everyone else, the same stern lecture?

By all means, pick your spots.

I met a man from Tallahassee
Who said “Our girls are tart and sassy”
But he had to admit
In a piqued fit
They all sorta look like Lassie

RE: Bobby Bowden, old people are gross.

yoyo @27 – thanks for the huge laugh

OOC—

Thanx. Strange things creep into one’s mind early in the office when no one is around.

And such an easy target.

O., since we’re on a philosophical bent, imagine that time, as we currently conceive it, doesn’t really exist…that the ‘08 season has actually already occurred; come and gone in an instant… and we are now only 59 days away from a reliving of said past time. I was there, and the Mighty Gators made a name for themselves…I’ll leave it at that for now; I won’t spoil the season for you…but I am looking forward to the replay!

Many cocktails to you Sir! I have used my UF English degree today – and gasp my Romantic Poets class did have real world application!!!

Bowden as Ozymandias. Brilliant.
Go English majors!

Must bring up Shelley’s “Indian Serenade” here too, which ends:
O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

FSU football, as of late. Passionate. Pale. Cold. Heartbreaking.

…or an ode to Bowden…

“…were’t the last drop in the well,
as I gasp’d upon the brink,
e’er my fainting spirit fell,
’tis to thee that I would drink,
with that water, as this wine,
the libation I would pour,
would be a piece of thine with mine,
and a loss to thee, you old boor…”

…a bastardized George Gordon…
