Red River Rivalry Roses, Courtesy of Barry. (SMOOCH!) BAC in this photo: 0.1OliverReedthirty. (HT: The Wiz.) Tebow refuses to say whether he's voting McCain or That One. In his interview with Dave Curtis, Tim Tebow refuses to say who he's voting for or whether he's going to the NFL after his junior year. The first one's no mystery unless you think a fundy'd up kid from North Florida is going to suddenly vote Democrat, and don't accuse him of being a racist, though: there's ample evidence he gets along with black dudes just fine. The second question really is a mystery, though given his lowered production numbers this year returning for a senior season might make some royally good sense. He's also turning the other cheek re: Ricky Jean Francois's comments about "taking him out of the game," naturally, and justly so since RJF clearly didn't mean "take him out" death-style. (If RJF does come out and shiv Tebow on the field, Saturday, well won't we look like a silly goose! ) Barbaro of the 352, laid up again. The high-strung performance machine also known as Percy Harvin missed two practices this week, but should be back today. Trainers ascribe the injury on a change in feed and particularly muddy track at Arkansas. Hide the knives. Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman needs a hug...from a well-tied straight-jacket, it seems. "You want my wife's number?" he said laughing. "I'll give it to you. I come home at night, they're all on toes. They lock the knives up in the cabinet [laughing]. HAHAHAHAHA. There aren't enough men in white coats running around subduing madmen with huge nets and sacks these days for our tastes. If Sherman shows signs of cracking, this could be the second season ever to end with the invocation of the Baker Act, the first being Barry Switzer's infamous "Pantsless '81" season. It turns out he was merely hot, and needed to ventilate the ol' wishbone a bit. Smooth lover. Eric Norwood, South Carolina linebacker, gets his car floured and syruped in a parking garage. There is video of the woman, and Norwood claims not to recognize her. It wasn't me. (Caught you bangin' on the counter?) It wasn't me. (And then you did it on the sofa?) It wasn't me. |

I think the annual Texas beatdown will look like last year….I still cant believe Stoops got waxed by Bill Stewart…..but since they arent in Arizona, the Stoops magical powers will be in effect and should be a carbon copy of last years game….If I was Texas, I would have a “Wild Colt Formation” and basically mimic WfVU’s offensive plan, that OU mysteriously allowed a Runaway Beer Truck to gallop 40+ yrds untouched…Oklahoma looks the better(passing,running and on defense) of the two since neither has had a “tuff” game so far….
Percy Harvin is a high performance machine====high maintenance……like a Ferrari….fun to drive hard, expensive to fix…..and probaly another shot of Winstrol V wouldnt hurt either…….and Chocolate and Flour? What ever happened to tar and feathering? what did he do, piss off a Home Economics Teacher?

Even if Francois were to shiv Tebow, he’d probably be back from suspension by the time LSU rolls into Athens.
by Biggus Rickus on Oct 8, 2008 9:50 AM EDT reply actions
Biggus – a suspension? In the words of the great Verne Lundquist – are you kidding me? Maybe he might have to write 100 times: I won’t shiv Tim Tebow anymore. But a suspension? Pretty harsh by LSU standards.
by hobeg8r on Oct 8, 2008 10:13 AM EDT reply actions
I feel like P. Harvin, if he were here, would note that he is from the 757 (and then be diagnosed with hysterical pregnancy and rubella, and be out 2-4 weeks).

Orson, a few weeks back you gave an interview where you represented this site as politics-free…please keep it that way. You are confusing your Daily Kos diary with this site.

SDF Fan:
It’s part of the interview, and deserves mention. If you think we’re Kos-sified, bitch please: we have a degree in international affairs from Georgia Tech, meaning Hans Morgenthau and Adam Smith got our back, son.

We, sir, are part of the liberal elite mainstream media sports outlets. We start each day with bottled water or free trade coffee, with a copy of The Economist and the Financial Times in hand.
If you want fair balanced, you just need to stick to any Fox Sports affiliate.

@15, Orson: Joseph Schumpeter laughs at Adam Smith having your back, and will cro-bar your legs in a back alley for acknowledging such a hoi polloi view of economics. That’s Creative Destruction for you.

Orson is trying to use his international affairs degree to blog us out of a worldwide recession, one post at a time.

Yahoo has an article about the guy that hacked Palin’s email account. He is the son of a Tennessee Democratic Rep . I don’t really care about the political angle, I was just surprised someone in that state had the intelligence to do the crime.
He is an economics major at UT.

I need to clarify that last post: He is an economics major at the University of Tennessee.

It’s true, blon. We are all half-brained, sister-fucking, shoeless simpletons, you jackass. Now go back to your Mensa exercises.

Wow…this thread is registering high on the elitist disdain-o-meter and the left coast has yet to report to work.
Amazing.

Vol,
I only work on those exercises on Tuesday and Thursday. The rest of the week I deal with programming classes for building back-end content management systems for web sites.
Any other bright suggestions today?

Disappointing to see Orson defending Tebow from racism charges, even after he pretty much admitted he believed Tebow to be a Republican. As if that alone wasn’t enough, Tebow spends all his free time in the Phillipines gleefully whittling down little brown weiners. Put that in your Freudian pipe and smoke it, Orson, defender of racist (Heisman winners who wear orange and blue) Republicans.

Just because someone is a Republican (and we don’t know that he is), that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are racist or subscribe to the current administration philosophy on any subject. When I have been interviewed regarding my business, I do not bring politics into the mix. It isn’t good. Tebow was doing the thing. I’m surprised someone would even ask.
by blon on Oct 8, 2008 12:18 PM EDT reply actions
Blon,
Once and for all, the University of Tennessee was established well before the University of Texas, so I think that pretty well settles who the real UT is.
That being said, if you want to call it UT, that’s ok with me. Just please cut the condescending shit.
And spouting your job description as a comeback just makes you look insecure.

We would also like to remind the audience that Holly is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, and has neck problems due to the outrageous size of her brain.

blon,
What is this nuanced view of political views you’re espousing? That isn’t how we do things in this country. Republicans are evil hatemongers who would take away your freedoms and kill all the poor people if they had the power, and Democrats are utopian pansies who would take all of your money and give it to those good-for-nothing poor people if they had the power. I’ll thank you to keep level-headedness out of our political speech.
by Biggus Rickus on Oct 8, 2008 12:25 PM EDT reply actions
Wow. It was a joke.
I live in Texas. You think we’re considered one of the elite states? I guess you have lived in TN too long. You need to travel. Your state probably ranks higher than Texas in most categories. Remember, we gave the country W. That should sum up the general IQ of my state. We elected the moron TWICE before we sent him your way.
Boys, lighten up.

Oh whoops. Sorry about that blon. Apparently the one thing you CAN say about me is that apparently I automatically assume that people posting on a football blog are guys. Apologies, apologies.

@44 +1 for breaking the stalemate of internet buffoonery that this website normally is a haven against. Huzzah!
Actually Adam Smith (DE 5’7 143lbs) has committed to the University of Chicago. He’s pretty interested in their Economics program, but his HS coach hasn’t the heart to tell him Chicago quit football like 100 years ago.

“Just because someone is a Republican (and we dont know that he is), that doesnt necessarily mean that they are racist or subscribe to the current administration philosophy on any subject.”
Wow. Blon, if what you say is really true, I would have to re-think my entire progressive world view. Are you sure about this? You have cred with me (Bush=Moron), but do you have any actual facts to back it up? I searched the Huffington archives and didn’t see a thing.
by che on Oct 8, 2008 1:39 PM EDT reply actions
Yes, che, there are Republicans that dislike W and do not agree with his world view or his lack of fiscal responsibility. I’ve actually met four of them.

@ BamaCPA
He’s a bit long, but he believes in free movement through the lines and in paying the price for what you want. So in other words: a hard worker who believes in fair exchange.
A “gritty” type, if you know what we mean.
by Orson Swindle on Oct 8, 2008 1:49 PM EDT reply actions
I feel ya, Blon. I, too, have been forced to trot out that old “some of my best friends are Republicans” line when in mixed company. Relieved to find out that your comment only includes four wacked-out right-winger acquaintences who think Bush is too far to the left, but are racists since you didn’t rule that out. You had me worried for a second that this was a widespread thing. Thanks!

Au contraire, mon freire, Brian… The Maroons are still playing football in Hyde Park.
They’re playing at the Division III level, and not very well at that, mind you, but they are still playing.

Blon @ 19, if you were truly a part of the chattering elites, you wouldn’t be drinking bottled water, you’d be drinking water you filtered at home and brought to the office in the 1 liter Sigg bottle that you bought in Whole Foods… because metric is cooler.
So I hear, anyway.

I’m from Texas! In case anyone forgets, I will also insert references to Texas in almost every comment I make. Texas
Now, on to more disturbing fare: why does Stoops look semi-attractive in that picture? Does that camera somehow have an auto-anti-jackass filter or setting?

Che? Whacky?
Fighting for freedom is not “whacky.” Like the iconic Latino freedom fighter, Dr. Martin Luther King also fought for freedom, and he did right here in the “good ol’” USA. You all can do what you want, but I’m not going to sit here and allow Herr Ruckus run down freedom, people of color, and the United States of America. Good day to you, sir.

Okay, I’ll do this just because I hate the bizarre cult of Che. Why not go idolize Stalin, hero of the proletariat, killer of those who disagreed with his socialist ideals, general communist thug? Just like Che! I mean, at least Stalin helped us push back the Nazis in World War II.
