DO YOU LIKE SEXY MAC-TION. Of course you do, which is why you're dancing a bright, sunny jig in your cubicle now that you know the MAC just signed a new deal with ESPN. The MAC will get 25 events broadcast on an ESPN channel as part of the deal, with the network getting the choice on the split between sports. Senator Blutarsky suggests this means Pam Ward has a guaranteed job this year, but pause, sir: you can have the 12:00 third-tier Big Ten matchup when you pry it from her cold, dead hands.
GIGGITY BURN. A small but factual stab from Tom Dienhart's profile of a day recruiting with Houston Nutt: "We inherited some good players, but there are holes in the roster that will start to show up because many of the players signed by the previous staff haven't remained in school here." The Orgeron heard you. And as soon as he puts Lane Kiffin to bed and gets Monte his hot toddy, he's coming with a sack full of cinder blocks for you. Belle Glade's a hard place. Santonio Holmes, Belle Glade football notable, Pittsburgh Steeler, and aspiring porn star, admits to selling drugs while playing football in Belle Glade. It's easier than catching rabbits, and certainly more lucrative. The other ways of making money in Belle Glade are...um...no, that's it. You can catch rabbits, sell drugs, or work in the cane fields. We'd sell drugs, too. Alabama r smrt. 22 Crimson Tide players made the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Jim Delany! That's the punchline. Eating cheese crackers and growing pine trees. Jack Youngblood, Florida great who played a Super Bowl on a broken leg for the Rams, is getting old, growing pine trees, and sometimes eats cheese crackers. Offseason giveaway number 2843: you link to profile pieces containing little or no information about old guys working at ethanol companie. |

That’s the best I’ve ever seen Man Ward look. Still wouldn’t hit it, though.

Well, we did have about 42 scholarship players left on our 2008 roster from Orgeron’s three recruiting classes (2005, 2006, and 2007). So, Houston does have a point.
That had a lot to do with grade casualties (both in terms of non-qualifiers and guys flunking out), but it also had a lot to do with The Orgeron simply running players off with his antics. So, a piece of advice to UT fans, keep The Orgeron away from your players.
Do whatever you have to do to keep him away from them. Let him work the recruiting trail 365 days a year if need be. Just don’t let him actually coach your team or show up to team meetings. Put him in the film room during practice evaluating high school tapes. Send him out to visit prospects on game day. Just keep him away from your players. The guy is two different people. Orgeron the Recruiter and Orgeron the Coach. It’s really a Jekyll and Hyde thing. The Recruiter is Jekyll. The Coach is Hyde. Do whatever you can to focus The Orgeron on his Jekyll side.

The MAC is frustrating the piss out of me. This conference will never not stop taking little baby steps and calling it progress!

Yahoo!!! We get to see BGSU and Toledo play women’s basketball on ESPNU! Hope the 3 of you across the country that care about that are happy while I have to watch another midweek MAC game. Dam you Rick Chryst. Die in a fire.

Is it just me, or does Orson have a morbid fixation on the hermaphrodite that is Pam Ward?

As fast as Santonio is, I was sure he had to have gotten that quick from chasing rabbits. Instead, I guess it came from running from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

Oh thank jebus. I don’t know how I would have got my fix for directional Michigan school action otherwise.

Hopefully Marnie Ward will be announcing a Miami Ohio game with Dan Patrick, see all that red and take him out of his misery. Of course, this is after she steals concession money from the Athens Kiwanis Fried Chicken booth.

Quick! You have to have sex with ONE of the following:
Pam Ward
or
Mark Mangino
Which will it be?
by Touchdown74 on Jan 29, 2009 2:13 PM EST reply actions
Pam Ward. She has a problem with correctly identifying yardage, and would therefore likely be complimentary to you no matter how poorly or well-hung you are.

22 Crimson Tide players made the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Jim Delany! Thats the punchline. Um, are we supposed to be impressed with getting a 3.0 in a fuzzy business curriculum at Alabama? Come on. The one Bama alumna I know proudly boasts of never cracking a book during her four years in Tuscaloosa, and she graduated with a GPA well over 3.0.
Unless its a player at Northwestern or in a particular major at one of the other schools (e.g. engineering at Illinois), I am unimpressed by academic All-Big Ten status. Unless its a player at Vanderbilt, I am even less impressed by academic All-SEC status.

Most of us know that some student athletes are as dumb as a sack of dull doorknobs and are only able to function normally if they are in uniform and on the field. That is why we have the Fulmer Memorial Cup.

I drank my way through undergrad skool in Starksville with a 2.9 and had to beg my way into MBA skool in Tuscaloosa, where I graduated with a 3.78 under a similar alcoholic fog.
Bama was much, much easier, with only two exceptions. However, this was back in the stone age (1970s).
