For starters, you could try this BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH:
Available now on Amazon. If you’d like to get us something else, you can buy Mike Freeman, Oxford graduate and PhD candidate at Awesometown University, a clue.
(Actually, there is something you can get EDSBS for Christmas, but we’ll get on that tomorrow.)
ps. Also: Colt McCoy is accurate in ways you hadn’t imagined.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Mike Freeman? You mean this Mike Freeman?
“”These were lies,” Freeman, 37, said in a statement posted on the Web site
SportsPages.com. He added: “This was a terrible and unforgivable manipulation of
the facts. . . . It was the only time I have told such falsehoods and no other deceptions
have ever appeared in any of my newspaper stories or two books at any time in my 16
years of practicing journalism. Nevertheless, the information I gave the Star was
wrong and I will be punished with the loss of my newspaper career.”
Ah, love the guy! Urban Liar, Florida Fans are Racists, Chris Leak is hated and boo’ed. What a scamp.

Ahhhh, the plague of single-sentence paragraph sportswriting continues. Because we didn’t get the subtlety the first 9 fucking times. Not that all writers need the literature of exhaustion to discuss a coaching change or anything, but Freeman’s writing is brutal.

The PB Post article Freeman references was the musings of a local sports writer who wondered if Urban might want to return to ND…old news.
So the best that Freeman can do is rehash/rewrite/plagerize another sports writer’s column?

!@#$% Dept:
I was almost 100% sure that the Charlie Weis book was a joke….I checked and it is totally true…Gold Standard Garbage…. Now that is what you call major league delusional guts by the joker-writer and publisher.
Rise to Glory garbage….
If Charlie is the new Gold Standard then there must be 83, or so coaches at the college level, that are Platinum (or other higher rated metal), not counting other NFL coaches, assistant coaches, clown college coaches, high school coaches, JUCO coaches, and La Liga coaches. (I think these dudes coach soccer in Spain, and a few of them might do better with ND than Cheeseburger Weis right now)

I’m not a huge hunter, but isn’t spotlighting kind of illegal? Am I just imagining this?

It depends on the state and the species being pursued. In Alabama, it is highly illegal to spotlight for deer. But beavers may be taken with bowfishing equipment using the aid of a spotlight.
My guess is that Texas allows the use of lights in the pursuit of small game such as rabbit, javelina, coyote, etc..

I got Urban’s book for my birthday. Found the section where he discusses Notre Dame as being his dream job and how he only went to Florida because of his young children particularly heartwarming.

Charlie got a reprieve because Tebow is coming back. Once Timmy leaves, so will Urban. Mark it down.

Will Q says:
Ah, but it gets even more delicious when you read the blurb on Amazon…
“The Gold Standard — abandoned by most of the world in the 1930s — has been an article of faith in South Bend, Indiana, for almost a century. Mere winning records and second-tier bowl games? Not good enough for Fighting Irish fans. No college football program has produced more national championships, more All-Americans, and more Heisman Trophy winners than Notre Dame. But recently, not so much: no national championship since 1988, only one All-American since 1994, and a combined 11–12 record in the 2003-2004 seasons. So out went Tyrone Willingham, fired just three years into a five-year contract, the first Irish coach ever to be dismissed before the end of his deal. In came Charlie Weis, a forty-nine-year-old Notre Dame grad with no head coaching experience but four Super Bowl rings as an assistant coach. Weis proved, in the space of a single season, to be a football maestro with a hard edge, a brilliant mind, an affinity for detail, and an uncanny sense of how to motivate people. He returned a program mired in the blahs to its rightful (and historic) place among college football’s elite. This book takes you inside a season unlike any other in Fighting Irish history — and inside Weis’s master plan for restoring the Gold Standard in South Bend. ”
Yeah, so how’s that working out for ya?

I am sure Saban is telling Belichek to tell Urban that the NFL is full of rainbows and unicorns……and that he needs to leave the college game on a high note, being now, before all the talent leaves Florida and Saban finds the kryptonite for Tebow….

beachgator says:
Two things about this Freeman clown’s article:
1) How in the hell is pro football’s fanbase “more sophisticated”
2) The writing quality of this article was very, very poor…I mean, it was just a string of unconnected one-liners that never even gave a cogent reason supporting his thesis. He just said he thinks Meyer will go, therefore Meyer will go. Gimme CBS’s number, I can write crap like this but better.
As far as Colt McCoy goin’ out a-shootin: who cares. Yes “shining” is kind of unsportsman-like, and being legal doesn’t make it less so, but it’s not uncommon, so whatever. The more interesting observation is that when Colt McCoy feels wronged or upset with a situation, he doesn’t address it (by watching the game – if OK had lost, he’d be in nat’l championship); instead he seeks escapism through violence – against things weaker than himself, to boot. Nice. Of course, he’s still a kid, maybe he’ll grow out of it.

Orson, what’s the over/under until we get a Florida fan replying Urban will never leave Florida because he loves Gainesville, it’s about his children, it’s not about the money, he bleeds blue-and-orange or maybe yellow, and he wears jorts to bed at night?

Kerwin4two says:
Jorts to bed at night = too much chafing
Meyer to the NFL? Why take the paycut?
Who would pay a college coach who has never played or coached at any level of the NFL $4 million a year?
Meyer to ND would be more plausible. I think he was contacted via backchannel this past month and told them “no thanks”. Which is why Charlie is able to pursue the “New Gold Standard” for another year. Maybe they’ll try again after next year.

hobeg8r says:
I have absolute proof that Urban is going to the NFL.
OMG, Robert Kraft was seen standing on the Gators’ sidelines during a recent game.
That seals it, right, Mike Freeman? What other proof would you possibly need? Other than the facts I mean.
But seriously, will Urban [someday] end up at ND? Probably. Until then, we’ll enjoy his stay at UF. Living in the moment (with a possible NC trophy heading our way) is enough for now.

Kerwin @ #3…your cite is wonderfully ironic when read with the knowledge that he was later fired from the Florida Times Union for libelling John Daley. Writing falsehoods with malice aforethought forced the T-U to pay off big John to the tune of alot of $…this guy is truthyness-challenged.
