Hi, I’m not only the president of the Not Buying USC For One Minute This Season Club For Men, but I’m also a client. Sure is lonely in here, though.

This not not the perfect country & western college football blog, as it contains no mention of Satan, Alabama, Daddy Bowden, any past vreference to The Orgeron, or Hosuton Dale Nutt.

It does deserve recognition as it has no mention whatsoever of [NAME REDACTED] or Fat Chollie and His Fagging Irish.

TCOAN, in St Pete Friday. Can smell that smoked mullet rat now.

What the hell is a mullet rat? And can I have it deep-fried?

I actually agree (somewhat) with your assessment of Texas ranking. The talent is there, but the experience is not, especially in the offensive line. McCoy had a tough year in 2007, some were his own mistakes, but not all. Next year will be the one to watch.

Missouri will win the North Division, but I doubt they beat OU. In fact, I doubt anyone beats OU in the Big 12 this year, my beloved alma mater included. Oklahoma is loaded with talent on offense and defense (damn it).

Tech is overrated. Just wait. Harrell and Crabtree aside, their defense will not hold up.

Holly,
2 words:
Tee Martin.

Pam Ward once mixed up kickers and punters and called helmets “football hats” in a single game.

Did Pam Ward actually do this or is this in jest?

The people who were responsible for UVa getting any votes at all should lose their ballots.

Is Charles Woodson fat, or PHAT?

Charlie Weis, now he is fat.

See how easy it is to take a stab at ND?

ASU may not beat Georgia, but the Sun Devils will have their revenge when the herpies sores begin to fester midway through the SEC slate.

Herpies = Herpies.

ASU Education Powers- ACTIVATE!

I’m officially retarded. Herpes. The sun has scrambled my head.

I, too, am terrified but strangely optimistic. We have a lot of Clawfensive weapons, and an incredible Clawfensive line (yes, Holly, I’ve come around to the lingo). And Berry. We have Berry. Am I the only one who thinks Auburn might be a little overrated?

Holly -

You shouldn’t forget this either:

It was Peyton’s to lose and . . .

I looked it up, and 12/13/97 was not one of the times Peyton Manning and Tennessee did not beat Florida. I wonder what she’s complaining about.

1. now-a-hoo

I believe that was the year Charles Woodson won the heisman. Over Peyton.

Right-
Which he did because Manning steadfastly refused to beat Florida. Trying to make a funny but failing in a cloud of lameness and confusing extra negatives.

Orson: I think it’s a tiny rat riding around underneath his hat with a passion for haute cuisine. And, er, football.

“Who called the 4th down fly pattern??? I demand to knowwww!!!”

Funny stuff…

But it all goes back to this:

And it always will.

So, you hate her because she has a dick. I KNEW IT!

Also, can anyone translate the preceding post/conversation into “Non-ADD”? Thanks.

Seriously, O. If you and tCOAN ever decide to try polygamy, I think you’ve found your first sister-wife. Plus, then you could openly root for BYU.

Doug,

What are the dues like? I may want to join.

I just looked at that picture of Stafford. Is he in an RV Park? The guy is from Highland Park. People from that part of Dallas have no idea what an RV is, let alone an RV Park. What the hell happened to that kid?

Eric Berry – is that the guy that is going to play Jason Allen to Ben Tate’s Ronnie Brown?

RE: blon57
Picture is from a NASCAR race. Believe it or not, people from Highland Park enjoy NASCAR.

blon, that’s at Talledega or, alternatively, “redneck mardi gras.” Although, I bet you could find a trailer-park named Highland Park! That would be funny!

Tennessee may end the season ranked but given that nearly every competitive game on their schedule is coming the week after the opponent’s bye-week… well, it’ll be a long season for the Vols – at least that’s what I’d think if I were a betting man.

We’ll all know about the Dawgs in week three at South Carolina. Nearly always a close game, that one, and if Georgia rolls… yeah, well, that’d be good news to me.

Doug @ 1 and Biggus Rickus @ 20 – Just because they got the no-thinking-applied ranking behind Georgia, there’s no need to get edgy.

Besides, SC’ll be doing very well if they keep it to a 2 loss season. tOSU has, at least on paper, a small but definite statistical edge, and a new QB and relatively inexperienced O-line should make for at least two comedy losses in the event that SC actually wins Sept. 13th.

#22, oh you bastard. Thatneverhappenedthatneverhappenedthatneverhappened…

Clawfense is the weirdest name for an offensive set since Spread HD. Which means, at some point this season, BHGP is going to use the term insanely out of context.

I’m diametrically opposed to puns, but if this “Clawfense” contraption gets Gerald Jones on the field where least expected and to great effect, I’ll….well, I’ll write it all over my rack and take pictures.

DC,

I’m not really edgy, just making a comment. I basically agree with your assessment of the Trojans. I think my greatest fear for the season is facing ignominy of Georgia losing to OSU in the title game.

Holly,

Promises. promises. Besides, we’d like to see not just the rack, but the whole enchilada.

All the above aside….I hope this poll is deadly accurate, because a Georgia-USC title game? Oooooh. Helmets flying. Teeth flying. Want.

Oh whatever, Holly. You loved it from day one. Took me a little longer to come around to your same “if it works who gives a shit what it’s called” point of view. But I’m there now, regardless.

Random predictions via personal experience via
NCAA 2009.

Clempson 21
Alabama 13—Bama cant stop the run, which opens up the pass…still allowing too many 3rd down convs. which wears out the defense. Oh, JPW just has on crucial pick……in the 4th qtr……as we were driving……make it stop……

USC 24
tOSU 17

Pretty good game, Rey Rey and Beanie Wells get to know each other very well, naturally the team with the ball last wins just like USC vs Texas….and Joe McKnight becomes the stuff of legend in this game…..

Ga 31
Fla 28

Dawgs still come out on top, Flo-rida still can’t stop the pass, run or punt returns. Conversly, Tebow and Harvin can focus on their jobs as QB and receiver since the RB seems to really actually run the ball…

@ 24

I feel culturally illiterate. I had no idea what Talledega was before today.

Biggus, no worries – and I can completely understand your concern. I have to think that tOSU’s quality-to-mockery-of-competence ratio is so out of whack that they have to win something soon-ish, but that doesn’t mean anyone wants to be the team getting rolled over.

@ 35…I’m sure that if tOSU vented their frustration at losing the BCSCG so often and ran the entire team out on the field after their first score that uga would understand, though.

zzgator,

I, for one, would completely overreact and bitch about their lack of class for a year.

You’d be in excellent and innumerable company then, Biggus.

…cause uga fans never bitched about Spurrier and class for…12 years.

Speaking of which — 36-39 above — anybody have any good ideas what Florida should do in retaliation for Richt’s stunt last year? I mean, obviously I’m hoping Florida scores five or more fourth-quarter touchdowns en route to a historic (I’m talking triple-digit) waxing, but I’d also like to see something that will set a new standard for personal fouls right off the bat.

I’m just hoping for “old school” Spurrier “classlessness” in the form of running up the score.

Unsportsmanlike conduct personal fouls are just so…unsportsmanlike.

I think they should reenact the video for Fame while the band plays it after their first TD.

Perhaps both teams could get involved…sort of a Jets-Sharks West Side Story thing.

And the Gator place could replace the gay finger snapping with the chomp.

*players, not place

Fingers faster than mind.

Honestly if you watch the UGA celebration clip, you have to tip your hat to the Florida guys for not losing their shit. That could have turned Colombian-soccer-stadium ugly.

And I’m sure the Dawg players could incorporate some Soulja Boy moves into it.

We should get someone from f$u on this…they’re well equipped at that school to mount such a theatrical production.

Y’all just made me “lol” at the west side story thing. And I NEVER “lol”.

With proper marketing we could take the Cocktail Party all the way to the top.

Agreed that it was a show of incredible restraint that there was no brawl (proof positive, that we’re not yet the new U). This is particularly true in light of the fact I nearly threw my highball through my host’s plasma when it all went down. However, this normally mild-mannered Florida fan is 100 percent, totally and completely out for blood. Of course every turnover in their end should lead to four attempts into the endzone (a la Spurdog). This goes without saying. But honestly I’m still so enraged about this that I want to fight fire with a volcano. I want an escalation so severe that it pre-empts further escalation. I want the hiroshima of retliation.

Clearly it would be the feel good hit of the season!

I think we’ll have a real breakout single with “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Moreno?”

Yes, I’m mixing musicals.

Be careful…displaying such knowledge of musicals may result in a request to surrender your man card.

(Excellent work though…lol.)

Am I the only one who just doesn’t understand all of the animosity regarding the UGA celebration? Okay, it was classless, but so what? Think about all of the mocking and general ugliness that goes on during your average SEC game… was this that exceptional? I’m sure that Florida was/is offended by that game, but I think the score should have more to do with that than a stupid end zone dance. I am not at all arguing that UF shouldn’t be upset, I just think it should be for a different reason.

+ a godzillion to Rickus for the Fame idea. Make it happen.

@ Sparrow:

Good-natured ribbing on this site excepted, I think Coach Richt said it best at SEC Media Days when he observed, in not so many words, that Florida fans (and a certain coach who wears his headset crooked and has a penchant for flagging test scores) wouldn’t be so mad about the celebration were it not for the double digit loss that ensued.

How a team who turned choreographed midfield logo stomping into an Olympic sport and their fanbase who revelled in it can complain so much about poor sportsmanship baffles me.

/bitter FSU fan

You’re totally right — I am mostly mad about the outcome of that game and the way it went down on the field. If Florida wins that game, we’re not rehashing this topic now. It’s a punchline, not a punch in the nuts. BUT — and I’m not speaking for all who wear the orange and/or blue — in addition to that, I think the reason it’s still in my craw is its premeditation. Particularly in light of the outcome, the orchestration (and Richt’s limp denial of involvement in same) just make my blood boil. It was’t spontaneous nastiness between DT and RB at the bottom of the pile. It wasn’t even an opportunistic F$U LB’s cleat stomp in the general direction of a downed Wuerffel elbow (was it Wuerffel or Grossman? I can’t remember). This was the whole friggin team running on the field at the direction of its coach and taunting my boys. This has to be avenged.

You have to understand, from the time just before I got to GNV until, well, until that game, Georgia was cute. It was funny. I rooted for Georgia against Tennessee, even. Georgia was not a rivalry. It was a rivalry to my parents and their friends but not to me. It was a mid-season W to be penciled in now and enjoyed later.

54 & 56:
macondawg isn’t completely wrong, but having been surrounded by a large share of Georgia fans since ‘90, the GA attitude during the losing streak was one of adopting the greater value of “tradition” and “class” vs. the win-classless Darth Visor. The general ethos was "you may have us now, but we are traditionally better and always more “classy,” you jort wearing newcomers" (“class” and sartorial inclinations often interchangeable)…It wasn’t the display, it was the display.. from Georgia …and how quickly their fans acted like the only reason it was upsetting was because Urban hadn’t thought of it first or because of the loss, forgetting their arparpclassjortsclassarparp crap we Florida fans have had to deal with for 17 years. …
Its the hypocrisy that upsets me, and the not-so-few times I’ve heard GA fans claim with a straight face they wouldn’t have been upset if Florida did the same thing…

Georgia was cute. . . . Georgia was not a rivalry. It was a rivalry to my parents and their friends but not to me. It was a mid-season W to be penciled in now and enjoyed later.

And now that’s not the case.

Congratulations: You have learned the Secret of the Celebration.

You are now OT III and can pick up your lapel pin and tote bag at the front desk.

And, just to be clear, I’m not really complaining about “poor sportsmanship” or Georgia’s “lack of class”. I’m not saying, “keep it classy, Georgia — we always do.” What I’m saying is that what they did was an affront to Florida, and to the extent that implicates me as an alumnus and fan of the loosely associated football team, I am recommending, nay demanding, retaliation. I’m not saying, “hey guys, come on now, that’s not very sportsmanlike”, I’m saying, “you broke into my house, made a sandwich with my cheese (to borrow a phrase I may have read on these pages (sorry)) and, if I get an opportunity, I would like to hit you in the mouth.” I honestly don’t care about “sportsmanship”. The stuff that is happening on the field is the semi-professional manifestation of god-given animal instinct and not-really-controlled aggression (in helmets). The way it is packaged for us on TV is straight-up commerce. Neither of those things have much to do with “sportsmanship”. I wish I could put it behind me; I really do.

PushJerk -

I think I hear what you are saying, I just don’t understand… Even if it was choreographed, intentional, premeditated, or whatever, it was football players dancing on the field. It wasn’t them mauling Albert or the fans. It was dancing. It’s not that offensive.

And for what it’s worth, them Dawgs would likely be worked into a tizzy over this had Florida pulled it off. That doesn’t make it a sensible reaction.

I obviously can’t speak for all Georgia fans, but my view of Spurrier as classless was more for his mouthy assholishness than his running up the score. I didn’t really get upset about his tacking on a touchdown to set the record for most points scored against Georgia in Athens. I sort of agreed with his, “If you don’t want me to run it up, stop me” mentality. And since the whol revenge angle has been beaten to death in the media I’d like to point out that Georgia got their revenge on Florida by losing 52-7 the following year. Or in other words, that shit doesn’t matter.

Richt’s limp denial of involvement in same . . .

See Pushjerk, this is one phenomenon that has really baffled me about this whole thing. He’s denied telling anyone to leave the bench, repeatedly. You don’t have any evidence to support your disbelief of those statements, any more than I have evidence that he didn’t order people to leave the bench. Your vilification is 100% the result of the fact that you didn’t like the outcome. There’s not even any circumstantial evidence that he told people to leave the bench. I’m willing to bet that had the shoe been on the other foot, Urban Meyer would get the benefit of the doubt from you. Feel free to deny that if you’d like.

And if someone can explain to me how Richt’s intentional penalty was somehow more pernicious than a) Bielema having his kickoff team jump offsides repeatedly to run down the clock on JoePa in 2006, or b) every coach who’s ever ordered some scrub to go out and pretend he’s hurt to get an injury timeout, or c) Auburn’s recurrent habit of blocking engaged players below the knee, you’d be the first. And that doesn’t even begin to catch every football coach who’s told his linemen that it’s not holding if you don’t get caught. Again, if you can explain to me how this intentional penalty was qualitatively different from the others, I’ll call Joe Paterno to pull a quarter out from behind your ear.

Finally, as Orson himself acknowledged aftre the game on this very site:

WAAAAAHHH! “Class” is what people like to talk about after getting their asses handed to them. As a Georgia fan who lived through the Spurrier era, believe me, I know from moral victories. You have discovered that some college football fans are blowhards and hyprocrits. Congratulations, sir. I’ll spot you that point.

/ Georgia fan who, channeling Rich Brooks, thinks that whining about classiness nine months later is bullshit.

” What I’m saying is that what they did was an affront to Florida, and to the extent that implicates me as an alumnus and fan of the loosely associated football team, I am recommending, nay demanding, retaliation. I’m not saying, “hey guys, come on now, that’s not very sportsmanlike”, I’m saying, “you broke into my house, made a sandwich with my cheese (to borrow a phrase I may have read on these pages (sorry)) and, if I get an opportunity, I would like to hit you in the mouth.” I honestly don’t care about “sportsmanship”. "

Sort of like when the Gators laid down on Miami back in the 70’s? Mouth, let me introduce you to foot. You girls are unbelievable.

Don’t understand all the “why they messin’ with the offense” for WVU. In the regular season last year PW threw an average of 16 rocks/game. In the Fiesta he threw 19. That’s about the difference in the passing game Coach Stew is looking at this year, with maybe a coupla more for luck.

So we’re looking at maybe averaging 21 passes a game this year instead of 16; this is some kind of West Coast Offense all of a sudden?

What they’re trying to do is keep PW from being knocked out of three games like he was last year. I think that’s a good thing.

“Perhaps both teams could get involved…sort of a Jets-Sharks West Side Story thing.”

Funniest thing I’ve seen all week ZZ – but I have to say that would be pretty badass. You and Biggus should start the marketing train tomorrow.

#64, the point was you guys claiming the high ground about whining when you did it for 12+ years, but if you think 9 mos. is bad, just wait till we lose to you this year….

F-it, when’s kickoff?

I never said Georgia was classless — I just want revenge. They whacked our guy, so I’m advocating whacking their guy. Even Steven. If you look back at my posts (see, e.g., #61), I don’t think you’ll see any moralizing. There is no virtue here and no moral high ground has been claimed by me at least. I know what Florida has done and I’m sure Florida has a vaunted tradition of holding/groin punching/eye poking /taunting. Literally all I was trying to say is that Georgia’s production last year merits response. I really didn’t really mean to stir the pot this much.

Also, w/r/t Richt’s culpability, ‘tis true that I have no direct evidence, but circumstantially speaking, I’m not sure I believe that 80 scholarship athletes run onto the field in a critical conference/rivalry game to intentionally commit what turned out to be an historically severely penalized personal foul without some assurance that the man in charge of the scholarships was on board with the idea. But you may be right; could’ve just been a mutiny.

interesting that Holly never got back on this thread

so…Holly… I think you should demand a payment from the general population the ones asking to see more than your rack if TN wins a certain game this season take your choice

I for one would love to admire embarassing photos of EDSBS fans after an unexpected loss this season

and frankly you are due m’dear

Pushjerk, only that first paragraph was aimed squarely at you. I really should have made that more clear. The rest was more directly aimed at Florida fans with a far less nuanced handle on the thing on this site and others.

My recollection is that Richt said before the game that if they went down and scored he’d “be disappointed if we don’t get a celebration penalty.” Some of the players after the game said that they interpreted that to mean that everyone should celebrate, including the guys on the bench. To my knowledge (and if you can find me a contradictory link, I’ll certainly retract this), no player ever said “Coach Richt told us to run out on the field.”

But whatever. You believe what you believe, and I will defend your right to believe it. You have to admit though, if Knowshon had simply handed the ball back to the ref you’d be looking forward to next year’s game a lot less. So it wasn’t all bad.

What no one mentions is, after the celebration in the endzone, Meyer begins pushing around his players in an attempt to match the intensity on the other side. lets get a mosh pit going over here, or something.

Now he is separating himself from the incident, even writing about it in a book, in the 3rd person….

Talk all you want about endzone celebrations. But I think we’d all agree that Meyer is a whiny bitch. And at the end of the day, the team is a reflection of its coach. by the way, I am 40 and I am a man!
