Around SBN: The End Of Sabanball: Details, Barbarians, And Precision

LET IT BE RESOLVED: IMPORTANT PROCLAMATIONS

Ohio Rep John Boehner, like most members of Congress, is actually a reptilian life form that feeds on the blood of old ladies and children and sleeps hanging upside down from the Anacostia Bridge when he's not wearing his people suit and passing very important legislation.

gorn

Why, just this past week he took valuable time out of his child-bleeding/cat-torturing schedule to propose this extremely important piece of legislation:

Congratulates Miami University, in Ohio, on its 200th anniversary.

Expresses the House of Representatives' best wishes for its continued success.

Recognizes the school's profound achievements, unwavering commitment to liberal arts education, and active engagement of its students in both curricular and co-curricular life.

This leads us to the logical extension of this: what important recognition and proclamations are going unproposed in Congress regarding our beloved universities and their football programs?

H.R. 261

Honors the fine work of Ed Orgeron as recruiting coordinator in just two months on the job.

Star-divide

Secures the surrounding woods adjacent to the Tennesee Body farm for exclusive hunting rights.

Absolves the University of Tennessee from all Legal Responsibility for what occurs to those intruding on the grounds.

H.R. 53

Designates Mark Mangino as a National Monument.

Forbids climbing, sport cycling, or use of ATVs on Mark Mangino without special permit.

Allows for limited strip mining on his southern flanks as determined by Bureau of Land Management estimates.

H.R. 7223

Requires the maintenance of a defibrillator near Al Groh at all times.

Requires that the defibrillator be used on Groh at least twice daily to stimulate a reaction to something, anything.

H.R 828-3

Recognizes the tragic death of Steve Sarkisian, former USC assistant who died earlier this year when he took the Washington head coaching job.

H.R. 1002

Honors the exemplary recruiting of Florida State football.

Simultaneously recognizes its failure to develop talent or NFL draft picks by ceremonially taking a hundred dollar bill and setting it on fire on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Formally adds the addendum ": Where Talent Goes To Die" to the end of all Congressional mentions of Florida State University.

H.R. 8610

Mimics the BCS's arrangement with Notre Dame by instantly sending the University a check for $12 million in federal funds for no reason in particular.

H.R. 7392

Does hereby honor the devotion of the Ohio State fanbase by setting fire to a dumpster and releasing no fewer than three cans of tear gas on the floor of the House.

Um, “co-curricular”? Does that mean I should have gotten some kind of course credit for all that stuff I did while not in class? ’Cause if so, someone owes me another PhD, dammit.

Surely tear gas on the floor of the House is an idea that’s good whether or not you’re endorsing tOSU.

Also: Boehner. Heh.

H.R. 306

Recognizes Syracuse as a sovereign body, and not other football program can deny its existence or invade its borders for tactical position on the BCS rankings.

(Resolution Fails)

H. R. 4529

In honor of Coach Bob Stoops, a resolution offered to officially rename the Heimlich maneuver the “Heimlich – Stoops” maneuver.

Sponsored by the OU representatives; dies for a lack of a second because everyone else realizes that Bob Stoops cannot prevent choking – especially at Bowl Games.

HR 420

Recognizes that Houston Dale Nutt is crazy as a sack of weasels.

by yoyofutbawl on Feb 12, 2009 12:28 PM EST reply actions  

Yoyo,

I believe H.R. 420 would be better used to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of one Stephen Garcia in his charitable work in the community. It takes dedication to give away the football week after week.

@hobeg8r: Well played, sir. As much as it pains me, we had that one coming.

HR 1785

Introduced simultaneously in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina to pat Miami University on the head, remarking on what a big boy it’s become on its birthday, but still oh so cute: public higher education in the South wants to pinch its wittle cheeks.

by NCT on Feb 12, 2009 12:54 PM EST reply actions  

For what it’s worth, Ted Strickland (now governor) introduced the same legislation five years ago for Ohio’s 200th anniversary.

Say what you want, Miami, you’re always going to be the little brother.

Resolving that College Football will maintain proper decorum at all times and establishing a special House Subcommittee to review taunting issues during the game. $10M earmarked for the subcommittee

South Florida representatives (representing da U) voted against the resolution for fear that the resolution would be applied retroactively, thereby taking away all national championship trophies previously awarded da U.

H.R. 3921 – Decrees any and all citizens of Alabama beneath the poverty line be considered as alumni of the University of Alabama, entitled to any and all privledges concerning the support and association with the University of Alabama Football team. All such persons will be automatically granted a BS is Alabama Football History with minors in the “Three R’s” (ranting, recrutin’ , and revisionism).

AKA the ‘trailer trash’ resolution that allows the state to avoid the annual traffic jams in Tuscaloosa by thousands of rusted pickup trucks with their windows down, waiting for their diploma to be thrown in…..

As long as this can be amended to then wheeling the dumpster into the House and locking the doors, I’m all for it. Calling my Rep’s office right now…

Anyone that crazy has to be on something. Hence HR 420. Although there is no disagreement on the stellar qualifications of Mr Garcia.

Did anyone else notice that the House had to debate H.R. 128 for forty minutes, and then come back to it hours later? With a unanimous vote?

That’s our Congress…

Re #12: That’s fine. Somebody had to be the beta test, and most things improve with a second chance at design.

Happy 200th to Mother Miami1

One thing we can agree upon: OSU still sucks.

by DevilGrad on Feb 12, 2009 7:44 PM EST reply actions  

Chica @ 24:

I’m more concerned with the fact that the “40 minutes of debate” began at 4:50 pm and ended at 5:06 pm. I’m starting to understand how $10 million dollar projects can turn into $250 million appropriations . . .

Yoyo and Wood:

If you are going to make the HR number ‘420’, it should be:

HR 420: To recognize the University of Florida Gators for their outstanding commitment to allow college athletes to play on saturday no matter what the drug test says.
