INTO THE WILD: THE ELUSIVE ORANGE

When you dont know about some wild animal or its habitat, its justified if you just kill it. Especially if their population is getting out of hand. That way, there is no doubt. Let the autopsy and the science tell the tale. You have to look out for your own safety. Especially if they pronounce “football” like “foobawww”. If I happen upon this scene, I would actually mow down everyone in this interview, and let God sort ’em out. Who would miss any of them?

I spent a good 15 minutes giggling at Davie’s mug in that picture before nearly dying reading the rest of the piece. Nice work.

On Davie: he looks hopelessly lost, yet horribly pleased to be that way. I imagine that’s how most ND fans will remember him.

Gotta hand it to Syracuse. No other team can cover the over without scoring a point. Thank you, Greg Robinson.

Is it sad that I’m most looking forward to the Pitt/Syracuse game during Saturday’s slate of games?

I’m pretty sure the losing coach will be fired after the game. Robinson for sure and I don’t think Wannstache can survive a loss to the ’Cuse.

Bob Davie hunting the elusive Orange? Does the man not own a mirror?

The lunkheadedness of Bob Davie or the coma-inducing tones of Bill Curry? Discuss.

MPP – I don’t think there’s any worry about the population of this strange animal getting out of hand.

Biggus @6:

Oh, dear God…Curry any day of the week. He’s like your senile grandfather. Storytime with Grampa Bill and all that. Bob Davie just makes me want to kill myself with a spoon.

Davie is on my list after two straight weeks of mispronouncing “Muschamp” on the air.

This is Your Captain Speaking,

Fair enough.

Holly,

I assume you mean your stab-in-the-throat-with-a-pen list?

It is not a good list, no.

There’s just something about a grown man being referred to as “little guy” that tickles the ol’ funnybone.

I certainly hope GRob is fired after losing this game; we’ve got a bye week coming up, so there’s no excuse for keeping the walking dead around.

Excuse? No. Funny? Yes.

@13 – Just stay away from my coach!

@15, why would we do that? He’s a halfway decent coach, knows the northeast, and there’s at least some small chance he might take the job.

Granted, things aren’t looking so rosey for us Auburn fans. So please send us some more ties, we sold the last batch along time ago. War Eagle, and next time YOU go for it. If there is a next time. Sorry, I’ve been waiting a LONG time for that one.

Any chance we can release the rare coaching mongoloid Bill Stewart ( Timeouteus Challengeoused) into the Carrier Dome habitat?

I was talking about the 1988 Sugar Bowl when AU/ Syracuse tied 16-16 and they sent us hundreds of ties. Pat Dye signed them and sold them.

Cornnuts? Fritos? Awesome… The worst part of that whole game on Saturday will be trying to decide which one of those d-bags is acually the worst coach on the field

13 & 15

What about Walt Harris? He needs a job, knows the area and has proven he can build a program in the NE.

#17, I’ll tell you what. If you guys in the SEC — we all know you really run college football anyway, despite some interlopers from my current home in SoCal trying to spoil the fun — can get rid of the abomination that is regular season overtime, and play us, and we tie again, then you can get some more ties. But I don’t think even with Croom-esque karma on our side, we could come close to tying Auburn right now.

Dave, It’s too bad you had to move so far to find another team. Or to hide in their shadow, but I did say I was sorry. Like Pat Dye said when interviewed by the TV people about all the Syracuse people being upset about the field goal. " Well…. They should have scored more points". My memory fails me on the exact yardage, I think it was 4th and 12 or more. And we did go for it several times to get where we were. OK, 20 years later, I got it off my chest. Too bad Dye messed up , he sure turned our program around. If Syracuse could find one like him it would be good, minus the payola.

I think half the Syracuse bloggers I know about are based out of SoCal these days. Which makes perfect sense if you’ve ever been to Syracuse. We love our Orange, but we don’t want to live there. Well, except maybe during basketball season when the Orange are on a roll.
