Well, it does save us from watching the Motor City Bowl. Hugh Hewitt, Ohio State fan and Mitt Romney supporter… (Review: you fucked up, America! Remember that he was ready to KILL ‘EM ALL!!! Hugh Hewitt wanted to rock, mellow trip-hoppy XM Chill pussies! He blames you!) …demonstrates an inability to use a calendar by citing the Ohio State/USC game as the last chance we’ll ever have to watch football before GAY TERRORIST LIBERAL ENVIROBEATNIKS COME AND KILL US ALL!!! “I’m still trying to find two tickets to the Ohio State-USC game. And none of the USC people will give up their tickets to me. I’d pay fair price. They — they know Ohio State’s gonna slaughter the Trojans. They know that they’re gonna slaughter the Trojans, and therefore they do not want me there at the bloodbath, since it’s probably the last football game we’ll ever get to see before the United States gets blown up by the Islamists under Obama. That’s why we’re supporting Obama, people: because we own a Mac, drink overpriced coffee, and hate football so much we’re willing to elect a robot Muslim sodomite to end the hell of watching football for fifteen hours every Saturday. For the record, Hewitt may watch the last game ever on November 2nd when UCF faces East Carolina on a Sunday. We’ll be liveblogging it with a helmet on and trembling, but not from fear, but excitement: Holtz versus O’Leary! Grrrrr!!! R.I.P. UGA VI. UGA VI died as most Georgians will: pantsless, lacking a high school degree, and suffering from a heart attack. His burial will take place inside Sanford Stadium today at 3:30, and is described as “a private affair,” which we’re sure it is, as we usually cry way harder when a pet dies than when a human does. (A dog, for instance, is unlikely to die owing you money, unless it’s an Airedale. Notorious loan-jumpers as a breed, generally speaking.) This bears mention, though: According to UGA, it is the only school that buries its mascots within the confines of the stadium. Incorrect: unbeknownst to them beforehand, Tennessee entombs the plushie Smokey in the walls of Neyland Stadium after the last game of each season. (Fresh blood keeps the corn syrup gods happy. Shhhhh…..) Condolences to the Seiler Family, and to UGA fans mourning his loss. A damn good dawg, we’re sure. Hallo, stalkerazzi. The “Mr. Erin Andrews Shirt” is out for those of you lacking the gumption to just sack up and outright stalk someone. Hayden Fry, the Paul Erdos of coaches. More Stoops coaching tree/Hayden Fry homage here, and why not: tracking the Hayden Fry coaching tree reminds you that part of your biggest impact in life is not what you accomplish, but what you help others do and become. Why are you looking at us like that? We’re serious here. Fry He deserves some kind of A veritable Ph.D in How My Ass Taste: If you’re going to tell someone to dine on your scrotum, do it with style. Noel Gallagher said Jay-Z was a terrible opening act for Glastonbury; Jay-Z then opened with this piss-take of all piss takes: We’re standing and applauding right now. You can’t see it, but it’s magnificent and awed applause. *Apologies. We Abe Vigoda’d him, meaning thought he was dead, but was still surprised to find he wasn’t. |

Wow Orson, for a guy who is (a) a rival, (b) a fellow SECer, (c) a semi-open/semi-closeted Larry Munson fan, and (d) more clever than a sassy robot your Uga post was pretty damn good. Kudos on mixing the hate with the love. As an avid reader and Dawgs fan, I was looking forward to your take and you did not disappoint.

With waaaaay too much attention on the program already, it’s difficult for me not to see UGA’s passing as a bad sign.
The link to Fanhouse makes me even more appreciative of Swindle’s writing.

I know aTm has been buried at Kyle field by a few teams, I guess the dog has too.
I guess I need to block out September 14 thru January 20 for hiding from a terrorist attack. I thought I was safe here on the golf courses of pastural North Fulton county. If Obama doesn’t win in November, I guess I can come out of hiding earlier.

#12 – which course?
In regards to UGA, don’t bad things happen in 3’s? If UGA’s passing is the first strike against the dawgs, what will the other two be? Always one to speculate, I’m going with:
1) Verne Lundquist falls while drunk on appletini’s down a flight of stairs and lands on Knowshon and 3 co-eds, immediately breaking Knowshon’s legs and impregnating two of said three
2) God comes back down to earth to claim his other son, Mark Richt

@ #21:
I was listening to NPR while driving around town yesterday, and they had a feature on people who had just become US citizens here in Charlottesville. They interviewed a Moroccan woman who left to escape religious persecution and a Salvadoran teen whose parents sent him up here alone to get away from gang violence. Those people talked about how America was free and safe. And I have to admit, I didn’t really understand it–having grown up here, of course, I don’t really know what it’s like elsewhere, and thus can’t really appreciate it.
But after learning of the bacon-of-the-month club, I finally understand. This is what it means to be an American.
A preemptive July 4th cocktail to you, sir.

How was Jay-Z doing a straight cover (terrible, but straight) of an Oasis song a diss to Oasis? Gee, the crowd’s really going wild for…an Oasis song. It just shows how much better they are as musicians –– since they can actually, like, play their instruments.
Not that I’m an Oasis fan, but compare Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova to whatever Jay-Z’s grunting about, and I know which video I’m about to look up on YouTube.

Erdos? Making me go back to college math to remember Erdos? Someone follow up tomorrow and tell us how many Wikipedia hits he gets today.

Law School Is Destroying My Life! says:
I think the Jay-Z cover of “Wonderwall” is a slam on Oasis because you’re never supposed to cover a song of a band you open for. The audience gets their fill of your version, and are less excited when the real version is played.
Also, I think in Jay-Z’s mind covering that song was telling Noel Gallagher that ANYONE will cheer for Wonderwall and that he’s not that special.

Tapin says:
@35: Despite Orson’s comment in the post, Jay-Z wasn’t opening for Oasis — Oasis didn’t perform at Glastonbury this year (and Jay-Z was headlining Saturday night, if I read the website right).

#1, A&M buries Reveille outside Kyle. The endzone where they’re buried used to be open, but was recently bowled in. However, they did put a scoreboard on the outside of the stadium, facing Reveille, so that she’d always know the score.

#37
Thanks for the update on Reveille’s tomb. I knew y’all had to bury her some place close to Kyle. A scoreboard just so your dead mascot knows the score? That seems like a waste of money, but hey, it is your dollar.
A lot of my income goes straight back to A&M vets so I do appreciate the school. I have a breed of dog that has a lot in common with the bulldog: breathing problems and requires artificial insemination to be bred.

Broom says:
I think the other thing about Jay-Z there is that he went from Wonderwall into 99 Problems which has lyrics slamming critics and generally saying at least he’s not a b!tch. I, myself, thought it was pretty funny.
June 30th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

AllWhoYonder says:
the nut of Gallagher’s problem with Jay-Z was that Glastonbury is a “guitar” festival where hip hop didn’t fit in. By playing Oasis’ song (badly) and then going into 99 Problems (with its Back in Black ACDC guitar riff) he was spitting right at Gallagher.
I thought it was well played

At least one of SMU’s 7 Peruna mascots was buried inside Ownby stadium. When it was torn down to make room for Ford Stadium (opened in 2000) they recovered the remains of Peruna VI (the only remains they could actually find) reburied them at Peruna Plaza, just outside the stadium.
The ashes of Peruna VII will be placed in Heritage Hall, which is actually inside the building that houses the football offices attached to the stadium.

Jeff from LA says:
I think Hugh Hewitt doesn’t realize that the reason Trojan fans won’t give him their tickets is because his life savings of $11.05 and his “gently used” ‘85 Ford Ranger isn’t really enough to count as a “fair price” for USC-tOSU tickets.

oc phil says:
I guess I’m glad this Hugh Hewitt bozo was below my radar and I had to google him to figure out who he is.
What an idiot. He lives and works right here in Orange County yet he can’t figure out how to buy tickets? Is he hoping some “fan” is just gonna give some to him?

Papa Lou BSU says:
Yep, #43… mockingly butchering another band’s song (as Jay-Z did in the clip), particularly on such a big stage, is essentially considered the ultimate “fuck you” in the world of rock.
I like some of Oasis’ stuff, but they are world-class douchebags, and Jay-Z’s response was well deserved.
