MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: SAL FASANO
We think if you name a child “Sal Fasano,” the infant just sort of comes with a mustache like this attached in a helpful carry-on bag for later use. (HT: 
Happy Mustache Wednesday, Motherfuckers!
We were going to put new Purdue coach Danny Hope in here, who has continued the tradition of wearing a Cuban Soup Filter while coaching the Boilermakers, but we spaced on his name in the Sporcle “How effectively can you demonstrate your inability to properly remember names of Division 1 football coaches?” quiz. Without being a total dick and cheating, we got an 86; for further context, info-bot and acknowledged genius Hinton got a 102, but we blame the differential on us filling those data slots with more important things, like essential lines of dialogue from Buttman’s Wild Goose Chase. Joey Silvera never got enough credit for his fine performance in that work.

Congrats to Lousiana Lafayette for the least known head coach! And screw you quiz people for making me spell everything correctly. I could have topped fifty if coaches would have easier names to spell. That’s right I’m looking at you Weinstache!!!

I got 89, interrupted in mid-attempt by our editorial assistant no less, and would’ve had 90 if I could’ve gotten Ken Niumatalolo’s frickin’ name spelled right.

I got 89, including every BCS coach except the fresh meat at Syracuse. I also would have had 90 if I could have remembered how to spell “Niumatalolo”…
Most of the ones I spaced on were guys at smaller schools who hadn’t done much to garner notoriety (or changed jobs recently), but I felt bad for spacing on Clawson after the enormous amount of mocking he received on this blog. Maybe I had mentally decided there was no way he could go from butchering Tennessee’s offense to a head coaching gig… but I apparently underestimated the level of desperation in the MAC.

Well, they do say that experience is it’s own reward. I would say that Mr. Silvera got more than enough “credit” for his role in BWGC, and all of his phenomenal roles.

I still don’t know why it wouldn’t accept “Urban Meyers” as the University of Florida answer, and had to resist the urge to type “Kiffykins” for Tennessee since I’ve never actually referred to the guy by his real name.
And ditto Doug’s Niumatalolo problem. I just skipped that one because I knew it would take me a solid 4 minutes to spell it.

Sal says, “Her taco was this thick, man! Totally terrifying. But I didn’t let it scare me. How do you think I lost the ability to grow hair on my chin?”

Wait, Sal Fasano made it before Rollie Fingers? That’s a work of art right there. Or did I miss Rollie in years past?

Sal was a fan favorite here in Philadelphia. Fans would wear fake Fu Manchus and dub themselves “Sal’s Pals.”
