Do not underestimate the desire for self-delusion.

The irony in all of this is that ND fired George O’Leary for airbrushing his résumé. John Heisler (ND’s information director) needs to be sent on his merry way so that he can go team up with Kevin White again.

I’m waiting for the team photos from previous years to be altered/photoshopped where coaches and players that fell out of favor are erased. Joseph Stalin would approve.

What about Pepper The Comeback Dolphin? I bet he has been stricken from the media guide too.

Hilarious. What the hell is the matter with those people?

Orson,

Any chance you are commissioning a LSUFreek work with Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf – i.e. Baghdad Bob – acting as ND’s new SID?

Kinda makes that Texas * thing seem reasonable.

Gene Chizik was 5-19 in two seasons at ISU, 2007-2008. He spent 2006 as Texas’ DC.

Unless, of course, Iowa State plays in an 8 game per season league, which actually wouldn’t surprise me. Touche, Swindle. Touche.

Too late. He was hired by Looooouuuuu at USChikin years ago.

Charlie Weiss and Pravda in the same sentence?! THIS is why I read EDSBS! Where else can I get Soviet Russia and college football in the same place?

At Wolverine Liberation Army, of course.

Crabapple Buck, it was Krushchev that had Stalin removed from photos, films, landmarks, etc.

Weis’ current weight has also been erased from the media guide. They list his junior high numbers instead (215 lbs in 8th grade might seel a little “husky” but at age 53 not so much)
