thanks to limited disability due to the helmet.

Oh, the Kentuckians may have limited visibility, but their disabilities come in a staggering variety, both genetic and cultural.

/that guy who just has to point out the typo, which Rich Brooks thinks is bullshit.

The Michael Scott Football League has a better ring.

Hello Kiffy would have made the top 5 except that he has had a debilittaing bout with Foot-In-Mouth Disease ever since he moved to Knoxvega$.

Since many people in Kentucky only know about basketball season and horse racing season, Brooks has to hold the helmet so residents of the commonwealth can place from where they know him. Some are just finding out they have a football team.

Damn, Phil Steele: “Whose Back?” Really?

“thanks to limited disability due to the helmet”——-I thought that only applied to Auburn in the Spread Offense Version 2.0, which isnt really due to the helmet, its due to whats in said helmet that is disabled and limited.

I know when I think of Ty Willingham the first thing that comes to mind is a strong running game.

I would enjoy Kiffin and Ogre apologizing for their inflamatory remarks about not wearing shirts at a Pahokee town meeting while not wearing shirts.

Pahokee is really trying hard to make themselves look even dumber than Kiffin.

“For those of you who haven’t been to Pahokee, there ain’t much going on. You take that hour drive up from South Florida, there ain’t a gas station that works. Nobody’s got enough money to even have shoes or a shirt on.”

What I really hate about that comment is the fact that Kiffykins tries to dumb down his speech to relate [apparently] to the Knoxville locals. There “ain’t” much going on. There “ain’t” a gas station that works…is that California boy trying out for Dukes of Hazzard, The Sequel?

I wonder how many fatal car accidents are caused by the awesomeness of the Rich Brooks signature series F-150….It should probably come with a helmet.

And a Rocket fuel plant explosion? Really?
I can’t help but think of this: http://www.alexross.com/80932-big.jpg

Six guys? UT has offered six Pahokee players? Kiffen putting the “Lakeland-Plan” in action….Adams is right…UT does really want to be UF…..

What’s amusing to me is that Kiffin hasn’t just told them to fuck off. I mean, can you imagine Meyer or Saban continually getting yanked around by the ear by some self-righteous highschool principal (of an out-of-state highschool, no less) for a perceived lack of manners? I mean, do native Tennesseans suck so badly at football that their coach has no choice but to cowtow to clowns like this? And before anyone comes back with the “Florida has 1000x times more people than Tennessee” apology, consider that we’re not talking about Miami here. Pahokee makes Knoxville look like Bangkok by way of comparison, in both size and apparent tollerance of sexual exploitation of 13 year old girls.

Ahh, the PEPCON plant explosion.

In the video, where the super-awesome announcer-voice man says, “this building was decimated by the explosion” – that was a marshmallow plant before said decimation.

Life, it’s full of fun knowledge.

Also the shot that looks like someone is up in the mountains – well, they are. There was a crew up there installing TV antennas, and they happened to have a camera with them. I presently live just at the base of the mountain (Black Mountain) where that was shot. At the time of the explosion (1988, IIRC) there were no houses where I currently am, but there are a fair number of homes within a 10mi radius of the explosion. Damage to the surrounding area was immense. Garage doors blown in, windows blown into houses (including glass shards stuck in drywall for additional dramatic goodness), foundations cracked which caused houses to have nice drywall fractures. Good times.

Not surprisingly, there is now an elevated level of rocket fuel ingredients in our groundwater and in Lake Mead

The raw footage from PEPCON is better. This is all edited. The guys who happened to tape it are a few miles away, so it actually takes several seconds for the sound to get there. One of them says something like, “Ooh, that’s gonna be loud.” Then pause, then huge explosion noise. I never noticed the little car on the road, though.

Kiffen should kiss the butts of whoever he needs to in Pahokee. The town may be small, but per capita it has produced more NFL players than any other town in the country. Pahokee’s rival Glades Central has produced some 28 NFL players (not NCAA, but NFL) and Pahokee has produced more than its share too. Trust me, Meyer would be down there in a heartbeat if he thought he ran the risk of being cut off. From a football talent point of view there is no more important small town in the country than Pahokee — and the mayor knows it.

There’s no cat, dammit. Waste of my two minutes.

Not only is the UFL competing with the NFL and college football in October, they’re competing in markets that are completely saturated with football. In the Bay Area you have 2 NFL teams, 2 BCS college programs, and one more D1A program. I expect the UFL team to draw slightly better than Stanford OHHHHHHHHHHH BUUUUUUUUUUUUURN.

(Stanford’s fanbase is completely apathetic and as a Cal fan it’s my responsibility to point that out and laugh at it. In case anyone was wondering.)

AERose, that was funny.

I promised keyboard cat and there was none. Lies and deceit!
