Despite the roots of this site in Florida Gator-ism, I have to mention that I believe Bobby Bowden gives the absolute best half-time interviews known in CFB.

Last night was only one example, even though I’m sure he didn’t see Erin until he blurted only about half of the “Screw You” he wanted to give the ref. (All the while Erin grins from ear to ear – “Old people are funny! Unless they are near death and then they are creepy. Because they’re near death.”)

Also: “How do you fix the holding problem? (incredulously) You go to the locker room and you pray.” Which explains how they won right? Bronco should have tried that one in his locker-room – but if he did, it didn’t work cause God was busy dealing with St. Bobby.

The best was early this year, I think.

“Well,” says Bobby, “we’re not blocking. And we’re not tackling. If we start blocking. And tackling. I think we’ll be OK.” (They lost, BTW).

Regarding Georgia’s penalties, don’t forget Terence Moore’s diagnosis that last’s year’s performance against Florida was the catalyst.

Apparently end-zone celebrations present seizure symptoms 12 months out, resulting in rashes of false start penalties.

Oh, well, forgive me, skinny. I didn’t realize you’d seen that South Park. My apologies…

Wow. Harvardyardpicks.com huh? These guys have obviously never been to Arkansas and know nothing about football. Houston Nutt was a disaster. Good riddance.

AWY,
I also saw the South Park episode on the LDS faith, so I think I am pretty well informed. I read the Krakauer book because I read some of his other works and liked them, and since I live and work in the mountain west, I have occasion to interact with many of the LDS faith. I find them generally good people, just don�t expect to enjoy a round of beers at the local titty bar with them. They simply have different* beliefs than I do, no big deal. By the way, I am white and also have some black friends, straight, but have gay friends. Ahhhh I feel much better about myself now.

*and therefore must be ridiculed before they are ultimately destroyed.

I find it humorous how many people only know what Krakauer told them about Mormonism and then use that to espouse their feelings on the religion (I’m not saying you are doing this, skinnyphatman; your reference just reminded me of that phenomenon).

Not saying he was far off, just that it is one perspective.

These guys apparently are also big time believers in the Houston Nutt Phenom.

Actually Biggus, they only followed Joe to Illinois, where he was killed. Brigham Young, of many wives, led them to Utah. In fact, you can visit a park and monument NE of Salt Lake City, where they decided to stop, cleverly called “This is the Place” heritage park. Creative folks those Mormons.

Under the Banner of Heaven, YeahYeah!

I ventured for to Ft. Worth last night to watch the Frogs beat the Fightin Momons. Very impressive. O – the sack you mentioned by Hughes was unbelievable in person. The Frog lines were dominant on both sides.
