The Krag-bus was fuelled by the tears of unmistakable sadness. Just think in two years, Louisville has gone from an Orange Bowl victory to consecutive loss-trifectas against UConn, Kentucky, and Gerg of the Orangemen.

poop.

If we are going to play the stereotype thing here then shouldn’t the ND description be for UCLA instead…with the back eye coming from his crosstown fratboy rival?

The Fitghtin’ Asians?! I suppose I should be happy they didn’t do this for any HBCUs.

Hampton/Morehouse/Howard/Southern/Grambling/etc: MALE: Big, black. Black as the ace of spaces. Do-rag, oversized white t-shirt or Obama t-shirt, $195 Air Jordans/Timberlands. Speaks like he’s got a mouthful of marbles and can’t finish a sentence. Well-armed, hyperviolent. Frequently seen hitting on or just hitting white girls.

I think Clemson is telling them what they want to hear, since nearly all of them are recruited by Swinney and OC Napier. Perhaps Swinney does believe he will get the job, in which case how could you fault him?

But I dont believe they are telling every recruit that kind of thing.

@ 13

Reese Witherspoon is from Nashville.

I’m shocked by the Memphis characterization. Anything other than straight thug is a lie.

Georgetown – Think Reece Witherspoon… ??

If I am not mistaken, isn’t she from Alabama. Or at least southern??

When spellcheck strikes back! (from the ESPN casting site)
“[ NORTH CAROLINA ]
FEMALE. She’s a Southern bell.”
…and now after having read the whole thing. Wow. Just wow. If you need me, I’ll be at the comic book store with my BLACK friend from Memphis.

[GEORGIA]
FEMALE — she’s a ridiculously hot brunette complementing her black cocktail dress with big furry Ugg boots (you know, ’cause it’s cold this time of year). Slightly unsteady on her feet and smelling faintly of Arbor Mist, she is rendered speechless by the fact that Georgia even has a varsity basketball team to begin with.

[Miami]
MALE. Should resemble extra from former A&E reality series Growing Up Gotti. Fitted hat required.

[Georgia Tech]
MALE. Should have strong inferiority complex. World of Warcraft knowledge a plus.

[Louisiana State]
FEMALE. Super hot, but rapidly approaching a nicotine/alcohol related downturn. Think your alcoholic aunt thirty years ago.

[ NOTRE DAME ]
MALE He’s an ASIAN kid who is in to all things Notre Dame, ridiculously so. Oh, and he’s always fighting. Every time we encounter him he always has some words or another, be it the faint traces of a black eye, or a scab or whatever. He epitomizes the fightin’ Irish.

Asian guy with a black eye, of course that epitomizes the Fightin’ Iri … wait … whaaa …?

Hey O –

What – no comment about the fight between F$U player and some frat boys? See below.

TALLAHASSEE – Multiple Florida State football players and members of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity were involved in an on-campus fight Wednesday, according to FSU police.

Police spokesman James Russell said officers responded at 12:37 p.m. to what he described as a “large fight” at Florida State’s student union. Russell said the melee involved at least 10 individuals, and four — two men and two women — suffered injuries and were treated at FSU’s student health center.
