Around SBN: Tim Wakefield Retires

DON'T WORRY. IT WILL CLEAR UP.

Doing a "Downfall" video with Hitler ranting on about your team's failures is now akin to being able to tell the "Aristocrats" joke well: everyone knows what's coming, the format is set, the delivery predictable, and yet there's room for creativity within the rigid framework of the joke, and therein lies its durability.

Plus, we promise that'll clear up in a few days. We swear. (Unlike your recent hire.)

A bit off topic here – but did we ever get the #1 most disappointing team from your countdown?

And do you care to retabulate after the BEEEEEEES debacle in Athens?

Isn’t the Tom Cruise-Nazi movie about getting Jay Jacobs removed? I swear I heard him say “War Eagle” in the commercials.

So an athletic director, a university president, a former coach, and an influential booster walk into Mike Slive’s office. The AD says, “We’ve got this great act for you.” Slive says, “All right, let’s see it.”

The AD and the president bring in Mike Leach, who does a pirate jig for the five men in the office and is immediately sent away. Then they bring in Houston Nutt, who nails Slive’s secretary right on his desk and runs off with her, his pants still around his ankles. Next they bring in Will Muschamp, and the president unbuckles Muschamp’s pants and the AD goes at it like a condemned man eating his last meal, but Muschamp slaps him across the face and walks out with Mack Brown and a suitcase full of hundreds. They bring in Turner Gill, but the booster unleashes a string of foul epithets at him and Gill walks off. Then they bring in Gene Chizik, and after Gary Pinkel and Mark Mangino strip him naked and beat him senseless, the AD and the university president offer him their head-coaching job. Finally the booster bends the AD over and rogers him to within an inch of his life.

As they’re all standing there, sweaty, disheveled, and in various stages of undress, Slive can only sit there, dumbfounded. “That’s the most depraved, disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” he murmurs. “What do you call yourselves?”

And the AD, president, ex-coach and booster reply, “The Auburn Tigers!”

Well played, Doug.

Laughing seems to be the only thing that makes me feel better about the Chizik.

“That fucking Nick Saban!”

I wonder how times that line has been uttered by various opposing coaches and their fanbases after getting beat during the regular season…….12?

How does one become an athletic director at a major program? The last one at Georgia Tech made un-needed seating expansions to a stadium that is rarely packed full, and re-hired Chan fucking Gailey to a huge contract with a giant buy-out for his mediocrity, claiming that a school with the academic rigors of Georgia Tech can’t expect to have a better than average football team (Bobby Ross, Bo Schembechler, Mack Brown, and Urban Meyer would all like to vehemently disagree). Having pillaged the athletic associations finances like a mongoloid Golden Horde, he then retired like six months later because he had Crohn’s Disease. I’m assuming that the asshole at Auburn is comparable to Dave Braine, so I’m just wondering how many unsolicited reach-arounds he had to give and to whom he had to give them to actually get that job.

Because I think I could do a pretty good job, and touching a few dicks would be well worth it to work in a career with standards that low and tenure that readily given out.

Doug @ 6 – that’s easily the funniest response I’ve seen here. Brilliant.

by The Tusk on Dec 16, 2008 10:16 AM EST reply actions  

No. 11,

The AU athletic director’s only qualification was that he played for Pat Dye. That’s it. We paid a search firm untold thousands of dollars for a “national search” and we ended up with this blithering idiot.

the downfall parody lives or dies by the aside from the one woman to the other – this one crosses that hurdle in spectacular fashion. bravo, sirs! the meta-meme bows in servitude to your genius.

@11

I just fell off my chair laughing by you suggesting that there are such things as “academic rigors” at Texas

Graduation Rate(2007):
Texas 42%

by Matt on Dec 16, 2008 10:38 AM EST reply actions  

MAtt @ 16.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but a low graduation rate among athletes (I’m assuming that number was fot the fotball team) could be an indicator that the coursework is more difficult.

No more touch typing for me.

Heck, even Wyoming made a better hire than this.

by Smyth on Dec 16, 2008 11:59 AM EST reply actions  

Echoing Kleph, the best part of the whole bit is the aside between the ladies.

Lunchtime soup, meet computer screen (and the other residue from other EDSBS laughing fits).
