Hakeem Nicks is horrifying. From the Meineke Car Care Bowl, where Bill Stewart kissed Pat White on the forehead, and Hakeem Nicks kissed Drew Rosenhaus’ phone number hello in his inbox. No-huddle spread missionaries re-sent to Auburn. After the first mission to the region was devoured by natives, the church of the spread will send one of its most seasoned veterans to attempt the conversion of the savage tribes of lower Alabama. Auburn has hired Gus Malzahn as their offensive coordinator, ensuring the future occurrence of a.) editorials wonderin’ what in tha tarnation that fruitcakey offensive “genius” (not our quotes) is doin’ with that dang ol’ fruity offense, and b.) that if Auburn can get up by ten on Ole Miss at any point in the next two years, they will try to get up by forty if they can. TAWMMY SAYS YOU PILLAH-BITERS NEED to PAY. At least the Patriots would have gotten the Cotton Bowl or something in the college system. Those damn elitists strike again. The Grey Lady publishes an account of Texas recruiting including this account of a party recruit Jamarkus McFarland attended. “I will never forget the excitement amongst all participants,” McFarland wrote. “Alcohol was all you can drink, money was not an option. Girls were acting wild by taking off their tops, and pulling down their pants. Girls were also romancing each other. Some guys loved every minute of the freakiness some girls demonstrated. I have never attended a party of this magnitude.” Bottom line for recruiting blue-chip small-town recruits? Queen Latifah movies are a fuckin’ must. Rebuttal goes hyah. Steve Addazio, step on up. The Florida offensive line coach will be the new offensive coordinator, and will assume his duties immediately after Dan Mullen calls the national title game. Meyer says little will change staff continuity etcetera we’re a happy family me mom and dad. |

I’m ashamed we don’t have a “Girls were also romancing each other” tag.

Counter Trap says:
Malzahn is TOTALLY different from Franklin. The red bracelet means bubble screen left underthrown by Kodi Burns in the case of the former, while it means bubble screen right overthrown by Kodi Burns AND returned for TD to the latter.
Totally different.
P.S.: Two words to remember when discussing this topic in the fall of ought nine–Kodi Burns.

i can only assume that “girls romancing each other” consisted of a few coeds reading each other byron poems over a candlelit dinner
also, i really hope the ncaa gets involved with this mess and finally passes a rule prohibiting the watching of any queen latifah movies by any coach – that woman has sullied the recruiting process enough, and her reign of terror must end

I think Holly needs to chow down on a little crow re: Bill Stewart and the WVU offensive coaching staff.
After bashing them all year on their handling of Pat White, she’s not going to comment on Mullen’s game plan that set him up for a 26-of-32, 332-yd, 3-TD day, with another 51 yds rushing for a total of 383 yards of offense?

So Chizik says AU will play old-school smashmouth style football…and then hires a pure spread guy? Looks like the Tony Franklin Experience is back…and I welcome that with open arms.

Good comment on the NFL playoff system.
I’m sure most CF fans wrapped up their viewing with the Mt. Union victory.

Signal to Noise says:
@JamesS – it’s still the Meineke fucking Car Care Bowl, and Stewart’s hiring remains in the category of “hooking up with the first one after your bad breakup.”
That bowl win does not erase the fail of losing to ECU and Colorado.

I too, with my fellow Tider alums througout the blogosphere, welcome the 2nd phase of the Auburn Tet Offensive, Spread Version.
This is like some bad movie….The Auburn Offense: IT WON’T DIE…IT Doesnt Live Either, Just Kinda limps along………kinda like Lee Corso’s Penis
The Auburn Spread Offense: This Time be Scared. Be.Very.Scared.
The Auburn Offense: After We go 1-11, at least we beat Ole Miss…..
The Auburn Offense: This Time-With Touchdowns!

So, you weren’t the only one who thinks the reporter took a little poetic licensing with the quotes, huh?

WarCardinals says:
The difference between Malzahn’s offense next year and Franklin’s this past year will be that Malzahn won’t have to battle his subordinates. That, and Chris Todd won’t be playing (I hope).
I can promise Malzahn will take a long look at the QB situation, and won’t just outright hand the job over to KB. Neil Caudle apparently has his ninth year of eligibility, and Barrett Trotter is supposedly pretty good. Maybe we can get Ray Cotton back into the fold.
We still have major issues at WR as well. The offense won’t be #2 in the nation next year, but IF we give it time (something Auburn fans are internationally renowned for) and IF we recruit some skill players, it could be explosive. Big if’s.

JamesS says:
@9 Signal to Noise: It may be the Car Care Bowl, but two losses won the BE last year, and the offense I saw on Saturday was most definitely not the offense from the ECU and Colorado games.
When a coaching staff can get those kinds of passing stats out of the all-time NCAA rushing QB leader, they must be doing something right.
That “first one after the bad breakup” has wins over Stoops and Butch under his belt.
Just sayin’.

@WarCardinals
I agree, there are some ifs attached to the whole thing but I think I could see Malzahn working out well in Auburn under the right circumstances. One would hope Chizik is smart enough to avoid the “Tony Franklin Experience” and commit fully to letting his offensive coordinator do their job unimpeded.
(One would also hope Chizik survives longer than 3 years against the whims of Auburn’s boosters, but that’s another story for another day.)

Cuidado, Jaime.
Mike Dubose also beat Spurrier twice on one year. Just sayin’…

JamesS says:
@15
Yeah, but DickRod couldn’t beat a 28-point underdog 4-7 Pornstache team at home to get into the MNC game.
I’ll take my chances with Coach Stew. As least when UNC put nine in the box he threw over the middle. RR doesn’t have that play in his book.

gotta love the comments section on the texas page about the recruiting story, how offended all the longhorns fans are when in the story it says the mom doesnt think anything improper was associated with the longhorns staff. everybody knows boosters are paying off kids and throwing these shindigs, the schools do everything they can to get the kids there without actually being involved (hello middleman). Hell, one of the best quotes I’ve ever heard about this was attributed to a booster who shall remain un-named at a Florida quarterback club meeting in the late 70s. The guy is bitching to another booster about a recruit and says “And I had to go all the way to Atlanta to get that n*&&^#$ mother a yellow cadillac”. Everyone does it (although maybe not that big) it just happened Bevo got called out by a trashy, poorly written paper that hates Amercia, thats all

Agreed. If UT fans wanted to explain this believably, the “everyone does it” tag line works pretty well.

Holly says:
@JamesS–Listen, dicksmack, I’m allegedly “on vacation” and trying to write fourteen bowl previews in two days. I ain’t got time for this shit.
Except:
I was at the game. I know what I saw, and I know what I think about what I saw. And what I think is that Bill Stewart is a fucking joke; Mullen’s worse, and I want them both beaten with a large trout for this year of egregious mishandling of a program I love. Good day, sir.
