Best preview yet.

I’ll say this: I always hated Da U because they were the best, and now that they’re not, I want them back. Of course, when they do come back, and make no mistake, they will, I’ll hate them again. I can’t wait.

Harris, you’re close, except Schnellenberger = God.

I’ve still got the giggles from “Pat Nix’s Offense.”

Thoroughly enjoyed his time on North Avenue, I did.

As far a zoo animals and swinging helmets go, nothing was sweeter than to see those LSU Bengal Tigers whoop ‘Cane ass off the field after whooping ‘Cane ass on the field at the 2005 Peach Bowl.

#28… Yes. A zoo. Where they keep things that are far too dangerous to be running among citizens of the world to keep the rest of us safe. Like tigers. Or lions. Or people that swing helmets like the hammers of Zeus.

I see what you tried to do there. And it’s ridiculous.

A zoo? Alan, kiddo, you wanna sit the next few plays out?

#23 Then this is how I’ve broken it down:

Schnellenberger = Charlemagne, creator of a mighty empire

Johnson = Phillip II, first great king of the realm

Erickson = Phillip the III, “called Phillip the Bold on the basis of his abilities in combat and on horseback and not his character”

Davis = Louis XIV, “known as The Sun King because, just as the planets revolve around the Sun, so too should France and the court revolve around him”

Coker = Louis XVI, Although he was beloved at first, his indecisiveness and conservatism led some elements of the people of France to eventually hate him.”

Shannon = Napoleon I, “turned the armies of France against almost every major European power, dominating continental Europe through a lengthy streak of military victories.” Randy’s got big shoes to fill.

Whatever points that were gained for a surprisingly articulate version of French history are lost for simply being a fan of a team populated by folks that ought to be in either a prison or a zoo.

@24

“They were good once”

Once upon a time, like three years ago when they were #3 before the GT fire drill-I mean-game?

As a Miami fan, I can’t say too much to a UVA fan due to the curb stomping of a year ago. But I will ask one question. Will our “resurgence” come before or after your “surgence?” [sic]

Why does everyone at da U always think this is the year of their resurgence? Delusional. When do we get to put them in the “they were good once” column with SMU and Stanford?

#1; the great barstoolio corrected my numerous spelling and grammatical errors. i fully blame her for missing that one.

#8; if 38-2 = suck, then yes.

#9; i was one of 14 white people at the miami spring game. fortunately, much like navin johnson, i spent most of my childhood and adolescence wholly unaware of the fact that i am not, in fact, black.

#13; i think butch would have to be the sun king, no?

#21: i don’t know what you’re talking about. that game never happened, you hear me. NEVER HAPPENED.

Also, as SMQ pointed out in his UVa season preview, basically the only thing we were good at was D-line play, being “thirteenth nationally in rush defense [and] one of only ten defenses to hold opponents under three yards per carry.” This is meant solely to combat the argument that Cooper’s performance in that game was terrible; it does not in any way imply that tha U should not be horribly embarrassed by the beating we put on them in their last game at the OB.

Well since the OB is getting torn down, and they cant chase rabbits in cane fields anymore to develop speed, there is no more mojo left for ‘Da U..its over.
Plus with Rollin’ with the Godmother is out on DVD, most of the South Florida talent will have been evenly distributed throughout the NCAA….and now the drug capital has moved to T-Town, Da U of A is the new Miami, with all the arrest and what not….never would have guess Bama being more thuggish than Miami, hell, South Florida is more thuggish than Miami…

@19:
Yeah. Tough to get more carries when you’re getting waxed 48-0.
