BLOGTOBERFEST: SHOCKINGLY EARLY EDITION

by Orson on Sep 24, 2008 12:33 PM EDT

Blogtoberfest: making an early appearance thanks to huge amounts of caffeine.

Hinton's quoting the Big Tymers. Universe vibrates slightly. His blogpoll ballot is up, and it's SECular in nature. Also, we'll take any excuse to post the fine productions of Cash Money productions.

Good to see Houston Nutt proved right. Er, totally wrong. Tulsa's profligate offense is coached by Gus Malzahn, the Arkansas high school coaching savant who Houston Nutt all but excised from the coaching staff after five games of this coaching career at Arkansas.

Tulsa, as Hugging Harold Reynolds points out, has scored 157 points in three games and has a qb on pace to throw for 60 touchdowns. Not that Jevan Snead isn't doing an acceptable job in the standard Houston Nutt run run scramble offense at Ole Miss, but it bears repeating that at least at one level of college football, the no-huddle spreadorama of Malzahn is working well enough to be mildly embarrassing for his former employer.

Further early stat-peeping: Javon Ringer is on schedule for post-season award of copyrighted use consideration. Getting 35 carries a game will do that. Meanwhile, getting nine carries at Florida has everyone in a tizzy over Moody being THE running back at last.

This may or may not be true, but Moody at least understands the essence of the SEC experience:

"(Tennessee was a) little dirty, but that's part of football," the transfer running back said. "Whatever you can do to try and win, that's what the SEC's gonna try and do."

A future in academic compliance awaits, young Moody.

Because when it comes to foreign policy, we are moderate realists. Texas A&M is the home to the Bush Center for Public Policy and Public Service, which features a Master's in Policy in International Affairs. If they follow Pappy Bush's lead, they embrace a realist vision of international relations, which neatly mirrors the student newspaper's realism surrounding the Aggies' upcoming home schedule.

The Texas A&M football team has five home games left on the 2008 schedule. If the team does not improve from its current state, the Aggies could finish the season 1-6 at Kyle Field, a far cry from the stadium's reputation.

Also, the current international account imbalance with China will not improve, the intervention in humanitarian situations continues to be a no-win for the U.S. without clearly defined and commodified U.S. interests, and we do not recommend vomiting on other foreign leaders.

Cursed horsepigs. Oklahoma's mascots may have inadvertently caused much suffering. Meanwhile, neither plush mascot, nor anyone associated with Oklahoma, is insinuating that TCU spied on Oklahoma prior to their 2005 upset of the Sooners, because that is exactly what they are doing.

A co worker wanted a personalized license plate that said #1 stunna. However, plates in Florida can only have 7 characters. He ended up with: #1stuna.

He was the S-Tuna from that day on.

The next time a Dirt Burglar claims someone else was cheatin’ and that ain’t fahr, may the Forces of Irony cause lightning to strike him dead.

9 carries for Moody? That’s 9 too many for me in that game.

Another former Husker RB from Southern California — who wore #1 to boot — has some upcoming legal issues. Of the First Degree Murder variety.

Tulsa’s schedule:

UAB (1-3), North Texas (0-3), New Mexico (1-3 and lost to TA&M).

I’m pretty sure my sister’s dick could put up similar numbers against those teams.

Irrespective of whatever else is posted, ever, about the entire freaking state of Oklahoma, the Tornado has just earned a triumph around Lincoln on a John Deere, surrounded by throngs of loving ~~if slightly dim~~ Husker fans, and a small child dressed as Lil’ Red whispering in his ear, “You are mortal, and Lawrence Phillips would like to show you how.”

I imagine that after the SEC champ is crowned you’ll be able to tweak a few more Big Tymers lines to fit the situation. Something like: “Yo, f#ck being a Trojan, we’re the Kings of the South. The SEC champs stick the gag in ya mouth”.

I had lunch with a good friend on Saturday who happens to be a philosophy professor at a large, prestigious university. (So, she is credible and she isn’t making this up.) She told me that Texas A&M has an excellent women’s studies program.

Hey Matt Jonsing,

Tulsa comes to Fayetteville soon enough this year to see how prolific TU’s offense is against the Hogs.

No wonder Nutt ran to Ole Miss. Can you imagine Malzahn taking Nutt on?

That would be Fugly for El Dorko.

Don’t look for Ole Miss to add Tulsa to their schedule until they fire Nutt sometime in the next three years

As an OU fan, you actually called somebody else in the universe slightly dim. Um, hello? Isn’t OU under the category “slack” in the US News rankings?

Gus,

That’s a damn frightening game for my hogs coming up with Tulsa. Unfortunately, I’m not sure we’re much better than the teams TU has already played. I doubt you’ll see Ole Piss schedule any teams from the Sooner state just to be sure Malzahn doesn’t sneak down there.

Good luck with the rest of the year. Except, you know, on Nov.1

My brother’s actually attending the Bush School because American’s school of foreign policy couldn’t cough up a scholarship. The place is very Cold War nostalgia-ey, and this is offensive to my brother’s effete neoconservative palate.
