THE FRANCHIONE INTERVIEW: YES, HE CAN.

He’s tan…he’s rested…and he’s back

Byrne? since when did $Bill switch to KState?

Firing someone based on their race is discrimination.

So is hiring them, by the way. (Or voting for them for President)

Would you rather base your decision on the content of their character, or the color of their skin (using Dr. Kings’ words.)

Yes, it is a problem that there are so few minority coaches, but using discrimination (Fighting fire with fire) isn’t the answer.

O,
As a former Ranger, I can say without a doubt, I’ve never “Hutted.”
That’s a SWAT thing, and very, very gay.
Rangers don’t make a noise until your windpipe is already on the ground, and your life force is waning away.

roamin’ @ #3…no room here for logical, rational thought. Stop it now or go away.

Unlees of course, you’re speaking of the Rangers from proper football team from the UK. I cannot speak on that.

Scalz: noted. Also, remind me to get behind you at the next EDSBS tailgate brawl.

The Obama reference is particularly appropriate given that Fran is about as black as Barack.

MSR @ 8 – are you working off some kind of Pantone sheet, or the old mullato – quadroon – octoroon standard?

O,
Name the time and place, I’ll bring the flash bangs and squad automatic weapons.

Actually, DC, I was referring to how “black” Obama is culturally, but don’t let that stop you from implying racism at every invocation of race that isn’t straight out of the Liberal’s Guide to White Guilt.

Knock it the fuck off.

Nothing like an election to bring the nation together, huh?

Anyway, the next EDSBS tailgate brawl could very well be this weekend in Red Stick when “T-Ben” Rousselle tries to claim that boudin from Don’s in Lafayette is better than Richard’s in Church Point. My money is on Don’s. The boudin will be on my grill. Loser cleans the winners game this hunting season. There will be blood, and it won’t be from the deer.

I’ve never seen Fran as in the running to play Clayface, but this has really opened my eyes.

indeed.

Lets discuss the sound of the belly slapping between Mt. Cody and Baby Herm…. no more politics!!!

Orson…Thats BOB Krause…not Bill Krause. Though, he’s such a forgettable character, I can see why one would make the mistake.

MSR and roaminggator,

It’s a sad, sad day when a few folks can’t share some asinine laughs about race in a college football blog without folks getting all politically correct on them. I think you were looking for www.huffingtonpost.com.

UGACrow:

The next tardbilly who uses “politically correct”, or who links the HuffPo, or who takes any other page from the tactical manual for ignorant internet political debate and vomits it wholesale onto this site is gone for good.

Where are the funny comments? Not to change the subject or anything, but: dick joke.

Amen. The only retarded ranting done here shall be about football.
That being said, if I hear that goddam rose garden joke one more time i am going to start shooting…

Has any one else seen the tanning salon ad that stated, “because tan fat is better than white fat.”

Franny is Italian. In my book, that’s close enough to count as a “minority” hire. He could stand to be a little more swarthy, though.

Anonymous: it is, unless that tan fat belongs to Tara Reid.

@ 21 – that is a direct quote from my mother.

Fran should have been tan and rested for several years now – it shouldn’t have required too much work to produce the product he did at TAMU.

That Tara Reid link was disgusting! Man you should have put a not safe for humanity label on that link. I now want to rip my eyes out with a rusty spoon and shove wasabi into my sockets.

Orson,

Maybe I’m confused, but isn’t my post consistent with the ethos of this blog? I’m of the opinion that this is as apolitical as it gets — and I was encouraging a couple of folks who were looking to make erudite political commentary to go to a website that condones that sorta thing. Sorry if I’m outta line here, but I’m flummoxed. Thanks for the explanation.

I think Franny’s more the “weaselly blackmail” type, as opposed to the brute force “Orgeron assault” type.

UGAcrow: i’m in error. Yellow card rescinded. Our smiting stick has been touchy this week.

Anonymous—Agreed. It was tough to beat the footage of Patrick Edwards’s leg going all twizzler-y on him, but those pictures might have just done it.

Besides, Franchione’s about as Italian as Totino’s Party Pizza.

Speaking of which, ding! Lunch is served.

Yellow cards? YELLOW CARDS? Homey don’t play that namby-pamby Eurotrash game of futbol….

You should hit people with this penalty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eslz06J9hFw&feature=related

@Raider

Aren’t they great! Most people have the psychological heurstic that “cheap” must mean “bad”, but Totino’s $1 of bliss destroys many a $30 pizza I’ve had.

King Puppy – if K-State hires an Italian coach, to go along with Mangino at KU…I’m going to call for a full-scale investigation into the KC Mafia’s involvement!

Mississippi State fans would happily make it 2 African-American coaches in D1 football at the end of the year.*

*hopefully that number will rise to a more appropriate level in 2009, as long as Sylvester Croom isn’t in that number.

When was Fran at Mark Richt’s house using his tanning bed?

Yellow card? What happened to the cattle gun?

I’m just hopeful that now we live in a country where, to paraphrase Dr. King, a man is judged not by the color of their skin, but by the shittiness of their coaching.

Jesus wept, Orson, as did Mohamed, the Buddha, Ganesh, Odin, Apollo, and indeed the entire ecumenical panel of divinities and prophets convened for judgement to be rendered – and rendered is the appropriate word in more than one sense – on whether Tara Reid’s “ass” is an offense against gods and nature.

Withered doesn’t begin to cover it. Lead shields might.

Every time I look at Tara Reid nowadays, I’m reminded of one of Samuel L. Jackson’s lines from “Jackie Brown” — “What the fuck happened to you, man? You used to be beautiful.”

Orson,

Give yourself the yellow card for the Tara Reid link.

Does anybody know where I can get some eyebleach?

Tara Reid was a warning for you politicos. Next time its Amy Weinhouse.
