BLOGTOBERFEST: SHIRTLESS CLAPPING EDITION

by Orson on Jul 15, 2008 12:53 PM EDT

Because, occasionally, there are things that aren't on EDSBS.

Is that supposed to be a grandfatherly Lenin? We never tire of communist posters, especially when they are accompanied by quality Wolverine agitprop.

Over at TSB, Littmann has his review of NCAA 2009, which we played briefly on Sunday night at his place in Charlotte. We would have been victorious if not for Crippling NCAA Hubris Syndrome: driving for the winning td with 30 seconds to go and down 24-21, we decided that Tim Tebow's stat line would look way better with a 2:1 TD/INT ratio than a 1:1, and called TE Drag out of the Gator Heavy formation. We threw a TD, but not the good kind that goes to your team. Crom always answers our prayers; he always says no.

Also: Pete Carroll shirtless. THIN FOREVER!

The Army/Navy game is looking to get around a bit. Sure, why bother playing at two historical settings every year? No one likes watching that.

That's dePhiledelphia Cream Cheese. Or it is when you do it like that, for chrissakes.

LSU fans boost LA economy with gambling, themed t-shirts, neutria burgers. They're already working up shirts for the Appalachian State game, but we think they can do better than the current "That was the Big House/This is Death Valley" Slogan. "You won't HAVE A GREAT DAY"? "'Eer Not Gonna Like What We Do To You?" "Brandon Lafell Will Block You Like a Hurricane?"

EEEEEeeee that guy again. MGo tosses more Barwis awesome into his bursting bag of wowpoints:

His reputation, which quickly turned him into an internet star among Wolverine fans, is indeed larger than life. "I think he had a freakin' pet wolf at home," says [former WVU RB Kay-Jay] Harris. "Now, c'mon, who has a pet wolf?"

Answer: Mike Barwis. Get to those hang cleans now and do it quickly, son.

The Wiz got laid off. This is a good thing, since he can now ditch the dying newspaper industry for the internets full-time. Get money!

Wow, the Mgoblog remodel is looking good in a marble counter-top and stainless steel appliance kind of way.

Any chance for an upgrade around here?

What will MGoBlog do when he finds out Barwis has only trained the strongest losers? The season can’t start soon enough.

Anyone who’s spent any time in Ann Arbor can verify that a commie poster is perfect for UM………

UM, where the proletariat drive SUV’s

…and the WLA comments section is bragging about being noted on EDSBS with the colloquial version of “here they come, keep your shit straight”…

Pet wolf, my ass. Barwis now coaches a player with a fuck lion.

DevilGrad – Rumor is that won’t be for too long. In somewhat of a surprise given the eloquence we saw on his Facebook questionnaire, the fuck lion’s owner is purported to be in serious academic trouble.

I am shocked, schocked I tell you, that Mr. Slocum would have issues in the classroom. Was it Biology or Anatomy that tripped him up?

by Crabapple Buck on Jul 15, 2008 2:03 PM EDT reply actions

Crabapple,

My understanding is that it was not his honor physics nor his symposium on existential authors that tripped him up; but rather it was his aids awareness and golf classes.

The Pete Carroll video makes the Bear Hunt video from a few weeks ago look straight.
Maybe it was Pete having the guys act out a scene from Lord of the Flies? Win and Drama Forever

After a lifetime of trying, I can assure you, golf is a difficult game to master. I play 200 rounds a year to prove that point. With all of the golf related events athletes are invited to, I can see a practical application for this course. Since athletes see more ass than a toilet seat, AIDS awareness can’t be overstated. AIDS however, is rather easy to avoid.

A scholar like Mr. Slocum would be more concerned with how to impress the ladies with his knowledge of Kineseology. Or is he another General Studies major that Jim Harbaugh referred to last year?

Wiz needed that day job, some of his takes are bad like Notre Dame’s bowl record.

Marques was a zoology major, obviously, with a minor in French Literature.

This is what I get for writing in a hurry. I meant bad likes ND’s bowl loss streak. I guess I should said something such as bad like Ohio State’s record against the SEC in bowls. Or, bad like Florida football before 1990. Maybe even bad like Auburn offensive line technique.

Not to be confused with bad like Croom’s voice or bad like LSU’s wide receivers (as witnessed above and when Michael Clayton forced a fumble and knocked out some War Beagle from Auburn).

@14:

“This is shit. This is pure shit.”

“It’s good shit, right?”

“No, it’s bad shit.”

“You mean bad shit like, ‘This shit is bad!’?”

“It’s shit shit. This shit isn’t worth shit.”

Picture @ 10: Yeah some of the team building stuff that goes on does look gay from outside. Other teams, ftats and the marines all do stuff that can look at least that gay. But it is a kind of team building that works.

LSU Josh: You were right the first time. The Wiz is high quality and it looks like the LA Times is circling the drain. The last few weeks I’ve been thinking of giving up my subscription due to the drastic declines that have been going on.there When the old guys like me who have been subscribing forever give up, then they are in real trouble.

I normally don’t go around linking my own posts, but since it’s Florida-related, and horrendously out of date yet only posted yesterday, here you go:
