BLOGTOBERFEST: BLACK KNIGHT OPTION EDITION

Blogtoberfest:

He's sleeping. You shouldn't be able to do this to a man with the name "Woodcock," but no one told Ike Charlton that.

Triple-option glory. What a novel idea: Army joins the other two academies in breaking out the option, thus abandoning the headbutting of the pro-style wall. The more shifty undersized players flipping the ball rugby-style college football has scampering around, the happier we are.

If Bobby Pruett mounts a defense of the allegations he was involved in academic capers at Marshall that is as tenacious as his Florida defenses were in the early to mid 1990s, he's completely and totally screwed.

That's En-REE-kay. "Okay, EnRICKEY." Enrique Davis will be part of a rotation of backs for Ole Miss, though from scrimmage performances Cordera Eason may have a lead on the others. You know what Houston Nutt likes about EnRICKey? He's FAST.

Snitches, stitches. Jim Tressel is aware of your internets, and would like to request that you keep the tubes free from any and all specific details about what the Buckeyes do in practice. Meanwhile, Kansas' new practice fields are as easily observed as the sight of Paul Hornung at a barstool. Mark Mangino, who has no history of being control-freaky, will surely have no issues with this. (It's from August 9th, meaning Mangino thus far has had no problems with this, or is planning to erect thirty-foot walls surrounding the fields.

Violators will be subjected to a stern Meh-ing from Al Groh. UVA puts a pre-emptive kibosh on "FIRE GROH" signs by banning signs at football games altogether. But how, oh how will we get the creative acrostic signs that must be a part of any sports broadcast?

Someone should’ve told Woodcock that you don’t tangle with men named Ike.
Where were you when he needed you, Tina?

But if Al Groh bans signs at UVA games, how will the students at Mr. Jefferson’s Academic Village™ express their disdain for the less accomplished? How will students from other universities be forced to acknowledge their academic betters?

We’re assuming that HDN was talking about running backs here:
“I really like a stable of them,” Nutt said. “When you just keep being able to say ‘Next’ and keep those legs fresh.”
because really he could be talking about anything (fried chicken, strippers, etc.)

I always enjoyed the signs at UVA. Sending out your opinion that “That TD was fine like port wine” and “Fois Gras – the real FG” let me know their fans have understanding of the finer food and drink in life and also 2 of the ways a football team can score points.

Plus we will miss out on the “We blew up the Orange Bowl with a Smart Bomb” hilarity.

Man, do I ever miss that TV announcing crew. Can we please get them back on the SEC ESPN games? I’ve had about all of Mike Patrick a man can take.

Based on the quality lawyering in the depos, I expect Pruett’s counsel to break out the Chewbacca defense at trial.

At least Tressel’s comments about blogs and the internet got the terminology correct………..

re: Triple option glory

Orson, are you a closeted GT homer?

@10: You are not a true college football fan if you cannot admire and respect a well run triple option.

With all the lawyas in da house, can one explain in non-lawyer language why Uncle Al and the rest of those public servants at UVa do not violate the First Amendment?

by bevo on Aug 20, 2008 7:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Al Groh should be drawn & quartered for doing away with the UVa Marching Pep Band and replacing it with a real fake lousy-ass band.

1st Amendment rights? On a collitch campus? Just try non PC speech and see how quickly you get expelled or reprimanded.

UVa should change their mascot to a Giant Pussy and play UPig so we can have “Two Dicks Whip Giant Pussies”.

Regarding the option, I have always wondered if the tagline “linebackers nowadays are too fast for the option to work” actually has any proof behind it, or are we just supposed to believe the hypnotic words of Herbstreet on faith alone.

by meatybob on Aug 20, 2008 9:52 PM EDT reply actions  

The UVa pep band’s mockery of WVa, with their salute to indoor plumbing, at the 2002 Tire Bowl was hilarious.

For whatever reason, WVa took offense to the performance.

Just so you know, while a graduate assistant at Carolina, or somewhere I forget, Al Groh used to climb into trees and pee on unsuspecting students.

The above is true, as you cannot make this stuff up.

Re #13: I’ve never understood that either. All players are bigger, faster, and stronger than they used to be. It would make sense only if the relative speed differential between LBs and the backs they’re chasing or the OLs they’re avoiding has changed, and I’m not sure there’s evidence for that.

by DevilGrad on Aug 21, 2008 8:12 AM EDT reply actions  

They’re banning all signs precisely because of the First Amendment: blanket restrictions on all speech in certain times/places are OK, but content-based restrictions are what get you in the Constitutional shit. Since they can’t just ban “FIRE GROH” signs, they’re banning them all.

I’m sure Thomas Jefferson is still proud.
