Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

GIGGITY HOSANNA ON HIGH

A crowded church in Oxford, Mississippi. The slow sizzle of tambourines and magisterial rumble of a church organ roil in the background. A choir stands waving its hands heavenward in the air.

PASTOR HOUSTON NUTT approaches the podium.

Dancing and frivolity. Pastor Houston Nutt signs the entire front row of the church to the Ole Miss football program as he dances around with one hand fervently pumping heavenward.

FIN.

Fine work, Orson. Sounds like the product of spending too many Sunday mornings wasting away during an over-long Baptist service. Say what you like about Catholics, those motherfuckers know how to get home in time for the pregame show. Now we need a Photoshop of Nutt with a conk and a purple zoot suit with matching gators to complete the effect.

Just great, now my co-workers are wondering why I just stood up at my desk and started clapping in rhythm to music-unheard.

Sadly, Boba Fett was the first thing I noticed about that picture. Neeeeeeeeeeeerd.

And Harris, I assume that applies to regular old masses, not weddings, because good god almighty every Catholic wedding I’ve been to has been a lengthy affair… except for my brother’s wedding, where only the bride and the matron of honor were Catholics, that speeds the host-getting up a bit. And time is of the essence when there’s a cold beer on the other side.

Well, Ole Miss does have company, since there was no SEC school in the ranking. Gotta hand it to the Big Ten, they may be slow, but who would have thunk that Minny and Wisky are top flight schools that dominate uni’s like UT and UF? In academics, that is.

It read more smoothly than the Mangino rap, and I too found myself seat dancing to unheard music.

Under the radar it seems, but not a bad job by Bobby P. on the recruiting trail. We’re stoked.

I think the technical term for Brian Cook’s impending reaction to this class is either " hissy fit" or a “shit fit”.

And Bobba Fett projects as a mean free safety with surprising leaping ability, and a real cannon.

With all due respect, it’s not that the recruits can’t read, it’s the racial bias of the SAT.

Holly,
Do you know how hard it is to type while testifying with both hands raised up while you are being Giggetized? and clapping? to the tune of the Blues Brothers/James Brown church scene, then doing somersaults cross the office floor?
     In contrast, I picture Nick Saban’s Church akin to Jim Jones….sitting in a chair, talking in a monotone voice into the microphones, stating facts and statistics and processes, rules, down and distance, all the while, breaking down film that is projected on a 10 ft screen during the service…
     Urban Meyer would have to have more of a Church of Scientology feel to it. Focused. Determined. And all that Tom Cruise/Travolta shit.
     Lane Kiffin would have more of a 2nd grade Remedial School for Autism feel to it…

I have read this four or five different times today, and I still snort uncontrollably every time I scroll down to the Boba Fett picture. In fact, every time I see it is funnier than the last, to the point that the wife is now looking over and asking WTF is wrong with me.

Way to see through the dissonance and catch the barely-perceptible (non-existent) Alabama slight. The vigilance of the Alabama fan-base for thwarting all perceived anti-Bama bias, real or imagined, has no equal in nature.

I’m sorry, did Harris just call all Catholics motherfuckers? Who does he think he is, Lane Kiffin?

by The Snake will Drive Again! on Feb 6, 2009 9:26 AM EST reply actions  

@ Trojan: I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Catholic wedding (graduating from parochial school with no close friends will do that). That said, the Palm Sunday and Easter masses are the longest of the year and they generally clock in between 90 minutes and two hours. I’m surprised the wedding went long (though I’m sure the aerobic exercise routine of "sit-stand-stand-sit-kneel-stand-kneel did you good) because Catholics are rarely, if ever, late to the bar.

@ The Snake will Drive Again!: Man, I spent K-12 in Catholic school. If anybody around here has the right to Catholics “motherfuckers,” it’s me.

Hello Mr. Saarlac Pit King. Are you having a good morning? I’m sure you are since you are on EDSBS again. This isn’t Kamino High School. You need to take your battle armor off and realize that. You called Coach Nutt a “Dork.” Amazing. Do you think Coach Vader at Empire State would put up with that? Grow up little clone. Oh by the way, did I mention I want you to transfer?

by TXTRHldyInn on Feb 6, 2009 10:29 AM EST reply actions  

Somewhere in there should be a mention of Nutt cheating on his wife while out on the recruiting trail. Ole Miss is a joke, Nutt is a joke…perfect fit.

by Skidmark on Feb 6, 2009 1:08 PM EST reply actions  

At 41, word is Patterson already has his ACT, and his core GPA is on track to qualify, so the rumor you heard was bogus.

I know the Bama fans were mad that they didn’t land Patterson, so they’re probably pushing a non-qualifying rumor, but he’ll be there in Red and Blue on October 10 when you come to Oxford for a visit.

And, so will Bobby Massie, as I know you Bama fans were happy about that one as well, especially with the hat trick he pulled on you. I’m sure we were cheating though, because Lord knows no one in their right mind would choose to play for a player’s coach like Nutt over a dictator like Saban.

Basically, what happened at Ole MIss is we just about pulled a clean sweep during signing week, so now we’re going to have some grayshirts. We had 18 prospects left on our board that we were still coveting after the final official visit weekend. All of them had multiple other offers from other SEC and BCS schools. And 15 of them chose Ole Miss. You typically are doing good to land half of your undecided players that have multiple offers. We batted .833 to close, which led to the gross oversigning. I’d rather oversign because more of your top targets wanted to come than have to deal with undersigning, so we’ll figure it out.

The good news is, we had already told 7 of our signees before signing day that they may have to grayshirt before they signed, and we have another 3 or so that were signed as expected non-qualifiers, so the numbers game will work out in the end.

Forgot to add, nice piece Orson. If the numbers game doesn’t work out, we’ll just send a handful of them down to Saban’s dungeon.

Can anyone spell over-rated?
Only 2 of Nutt’s recruits will count back to last years class, so 10 more will magically have to be wittled down somehow.
Any comments on Barksdale’s ACT or GPA? JUCO placements? Who will have to leave to make an opening for a Grey-shirt?

Yeah, I’m sure it’ll all work itself out. Gigity, gigity.
