He's classy, actually. Cowboy in TN owns up like a man should, though he didn't like the play where "Nick Saban faked that field goal 'n shit." The BOOM is not coming to a city near you. Will Muschamp is staying put in Austin, and may have even called Auburn types to counter reports in Alabama that he was going to take the Auburn coaching gig. In all likelihood this may be the result of some gamesmanship by Muschamp's agent, for all we know, since it's never out of season to squeeze a bit more marrow from the bones of your contract. But it's crap, crap, crap from all indicators we have. Fan fiction bubbling to the surface of the television media and no more. Nyet, too. Spurrier is not coming, either. The requirements for publishing a story from a television station in Alabama are evidently lower than that of a blog (which is low, indeed.) Mama called. She's broke. Doug Marrone, not Turner Gill, will be the next head coach at Syracuse. Going the NFL assistant route again would seem odd if Marrone, the OC for the Saints, hadn't played at Syracuse in the 90s. It seems less Greg Robinson part deux, and more like a shot at trying the Jeff Jagodzksodkfaosningskiiijii model at Boston College out: young, innovative NFL type comes home to light up scoreboards and overwhelm expectations. Given the state of the Big East, this is more than possible. (Also: he's probably pretty cheap.) Infirm. We're struggling through some kind of evil funk virus today, so posting will be spotty. At 3:30 yesterday our head hit the desk and we woke up four hours later wondering where the hell we were, so it's been Day/NyQuil ever since. At the least we'll have a tally on the charity drive, which exceeded our wildest expectations. |

The Post-Standard website says Marrone is working on bringing Coach O back to Syracuse… He probably won’t get any new Hummer ads with GM about to go bye-bye, but hopefully someone will write a song.

“Day/Nyquil” so that’s what they’re calling the drank these days?

I’m glad Muschamp is a man of his word and staying in Austin. I think he was too young to take over at auburn and it would have been a mistake, like Kiffykins.

Can Syracuse please take Sean Payton instead of our OC? The Saints’ O is halfway decent, it’s just more bonehead playcalling (which is handled by Payton, not the OC) that keeps us in the “also played” category.

Well that’s weird; the very moment I was reading this, Fox Sports Radio was saying “Muschamp reportedly will be Auburn’s next coach.” -50 BOOMS for you, Fox
And I guess Marrone’s not coming back to Knoxville to be on Kiffin’s staff.

I was really hoping ’Cuse would go the K-State route and bring back Dick MacPherson. Oh well.
If Orgeron goes with Marrone, his recruiting territory should be Queens and Queens only…The Orgeron would be the first Frenchman to be made!

It’s nice to see that the fine people of Tennesee continue to defy the progressions of time and spit in the face of of the ever changing fashion industry. Sporting the mullet takes “bahhhllllls” and this man has them in spades.

@10
Do you really think he’s that self-aware? I strongly suspect he has no idea what a “mullet” is.

Oh, and Malcolm Jenkins “won” the Thorpe Award for best DB over Eric Berry, which is the biggest load of fuck ever.

Somehow I just don’t see Coach O’s coonass routine going over too well in the NE. Just don’t.

1. If you are a fan of an SEC team, or a team from Ohio, Michigan, or Northern California… you have a “Cowboy in TN” in your fan base… no use denying it
2. Having grown up watching WSFA, I am not surprised in the slightest that they’d report that
3. I’ll repeat it since I didn’t get an answer yesterday… Where are the “No, I will not coach your traditionally mediocre football team” tshirts? Fair is fair.

I do like the Gill to Auburn move. One of the few downsides is that Charles Barkley gets to act like a smug asshole, and be praised for being a brilliant thinker and mover/shaker for the next couple of years.

“Patterson has been the head coach at T-C-U .”
I’m not an AP Style expert (though I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express once and, you know, studied Journalism) but, that does not seem quite right.

wasn’t “Evil Funk Virus” the 1975 Halloween album that George Clinton put out?
Well, it should’ve been…

@ suicidewatch: That might be it, but really everyone is looking at AU right now and seeing a laughingstock.
I mean: AU just got served by Mississippi State on how to run a coaching search.

The best one-liners from the video:
“Tebow is some kinda ole star horndog”
“Justin Parker – he had a helluva game”
“Ole Urban Meyer’s still looking like a damn ole cocky sumbitch.”
“Him and Tebow, they look like two queers. They prolly go to the Motel 6 later and butt fuck each other.”
“I think the Florida team will go to a Motel 6 and just run a train on each other, with Tebow in the middle and Urban Meyer being in the front. But anyway, it was a good game.”
“There’s prolly gonna be a lot of sex down there in the damn Georgia motel from the damn Florida team – Prolly a lot of ass fucking going on. AIN’T THAT RIGHT TIM TEBOW???”
“Fuck you Florida. You still fuckin’ suck in my book.”
This guy is a national treasure.

There’s a ring on his finger. Someone married this fine, upstanding representation of the state of Alabama.
I really wonder what the conversation was like for the 2 minutes prior to him pressing the record button on his webcam. My imagination is just having fits right now imagining the possibilities.

vegas_buckeye:
Wait, are you trying to say that a homophobic rant resulting from a college football game is representative of the State of Alabama?
Umm, uhh, he lives in Tennessee. Because it would be totally different if he was broadcasting from the Heart of Dixie…
Fuck.

@12,
Yeah, well the SEC coaches let their disdain for Nick Saban and his habit of making them look bad cause them to give Michael Oher the Jacobs Trophy over Andre Smith, who just happened to win the Outland. Apparently you can be the best lineman in the country, but not the best in your own conference.
Also see, e.g., Nick Saban’s sharing SEC Coach of the Year with Houston Nutt and Bobby Johnson (who lost 6 of his last 7 games).

Why ever hire a black man to coach your football team when there are somany white men with impeccable credentials, e.g. Doug Marrone, Lane Kiffin, Dabo Swinney, etc?

For the record, that aint me in the video, but, I will be willing to do a parody and response it post it later.
I would say he is about 45% of the fan base, and why the hell he is in Tennessee, who knows? I would bet he is a welder or construction worker with some traveling company that builds Wal-Marts around the country. I bet he could rebuild any carb off any gasoline engine within 30 mins.
With that said, we will be back. Next year, Swindle……
This just in……Cowboy in TN has turned down the job to be AU’s Coach, due to being “overqualified”……..per Jacobs…….

The scariest part about that video is the fact that “Cowboy” is f***ing MARRIED!?!? What shell of a woman married that pile of manure?

that guy is fanfuckingtastic! ya’ll can make fun of him or be “shocked” he’s married, but he’s a decent dad. at the 4 minute mark there’s a priceless family moment where he demonstrates some fine parenting skills.

Given the stupid play calling of the Saints and their inability to find a theme and identity as a team, I don’t like the move by Syracuse.
They should hire Gill and let him build on the contacts he already has in New York, that would make the most sense to me.

Anyone else hear Finebaum on 12/5 when Cowboy called in? Toward the end of the first hour, Finebaum asked if he was supposed to be impressed that he was on the air with Cowboy…F-Baum also told him to get a life and called him a loser.
This of course all led to Cowboy making a reply on youtube to Finebaum, which of course is gold.
Ahh…the circle of life

Tennessee’s efforts at “securing our borders” have obviously been insufficient. These strangers from our southern border keep sneaking across and taking our jobs! Good jobs! Like “hydrocodone farmer,” “trailer park squatter,” and “night manager at the Krystal.”
Why does Cowboy live in TN? Is our disability package sweeter?
Does he think Mississippi is “too hick” and Georgia is “kind of, you know, gay”?
Cowboy, the (T)INS is coming for you.
“Papers, please”
