Keith Byars was a badass, and this is something you should remember. Eleven Warriors sings the praises of 1984's backfield hotness, Keith Byars. He could also return kicks against atrocious special teams coverage, too. Lane Kiffin is recruiting them young, isn't he? Say, that T.J. Bowman sounds very familiar, and intriguing. We'll tell every other qb we're recruiting that he's just a linebacker, just in case we don't get him on signing day. In related news, you don't want to be the guy who tells Ed Orgeron to quit attending middle school practices because he's terrifying the children and spectators, nor do you want to be any of these people in the SEC this year, either. Dabo goes surreal. The man has an appreciation of the finer things in life: trick plays, embracing an odd moniker, and Jack Handey. (HT: 'Fesser.) Dabo also had nothing to do with inflated rankings at Clemson, but after years of Tommy Bowden's Tiger teams being top 25 preseason marvels turned regular season duds, this pattern should be familiar to Clemsonites. Jake Heaps must be a genius. The highly touted Sammamish, WA qb will go to BYU for many reasons, sure, but it helps that he's Mormon and heading to a pass-happy offense. If genius is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in your head at once, then he must be one, since his final list included both BYU and Baton Rouge, and if that is not contradiction then a debate on the terminology used here is long overdue. Mike Slive is very proud of all of you for being so mature. If Seastrunk flipped for Alabama as a result of this we would stand in awe of Nick Saban's amazing ability to manipulate human behavior: Lache Seastrunk, Auburn recruit, apologized for the remarks taunting Nick Saban he made on video taken at Cat Party! or whatever the hell that thing was called last weekend in Auburn: "He said he didn't take it personal. He said he knows how it goes. He was very receptive, an awesome man. He said he still thinks I'm a great kid and knows that's not what I'm about. I really appreciate him for that." Plaudits all around for being such adults about all this, and please let it never happen again for the sake of those of us who write about you. No, really. It's like a national pet. Bunda is gone from Fridays, but not forgotten, especially when it comes in the form of a Vice Magazine interview containing the following quotes: A: I am actually used to people looking and even touching it, to be honest. And: This is your signature move, right? Yeah. Truthfully, it’s like a motor: Vrrrrrrr! It’s extremely tiring. "Go, go, go, butt! Go, go, go!" It's a niche market, unless that market is Brazil, the country forging the smoggy tropical dystopian future you know we are all hurtling towards whether you like it or not. |

Ah, the melodic tones of Charlie Jones, the scary sight of a team coached by a man named “Foge” and the weird 8-inch stride of Keith Byars.

If Bunda Friday’s hadn’t already been retired, they would have had to been now.
“Even women! Women are more straightforward. They ask, ‘Can I touch your ass to see how firm it is?’ I swear to you, this is how it goes. "
Aaaaaaaaand.. I’m finished.

Even better was his run vs. Illinois where he lost his shoe and still scored. Screwed out of a Heisman Trophy by a lucky Hail Mary from Flutie to Phelan. Broke a bone in his foot the following year and only played a few games while injured. Still drafted in the 1st round by the Eagles and lasted 17 years in the league. I was at an ATM in Dayton, Ohio when he walked up behind me. I think he has the largest hands I’ve ever seen, explains why he caught so many passes and didn’t fumble.

Oh thank god i’m not the only person who noticed that. It’s like watching an 80-year old man, except he can run fast.

Truth or Rumor: You be the judge…
Coach O grew up so deep in the poorest parish in the poorest bayou that he didnt get his first pair of A) New Shoes or B) Shoes.Period. til his was 15 yrs old.
This tidbit comes from my co-worker, who is a member of the LSU Alumni Beer Battered Zatarans Seasoned Double Deep Fried Corn Dog Slow Roasted Bayou Bengal chapter. And I swear he talks like that guy who plays the Ziedeco on that “My Louisiana” commercial, kinda sounds like Bobby Bouche’s dad with a heavier tongue. He swears he doesn’t hate Saban, but feels the way he left LSU by not announcing it in Lousiana was what pissed off all the Cajuns who have money. That he announced it in Florida, not that he was leaving for the NFL and then came back to the SEC to Alabama.Plus they have had Les Miles and no one can figure him out after 4 seasons. He says Saban is a “old school coaches coach who the players dont like but respect cause he works them to death” where Miles is a “players Coach”.
The over under of Coach O either injuring a player in practice or a coach after practice is about 4 to 1 during the season, and 2 to 1 in the offseason.

Seastrunks apology, I promise, is falling on deaf ears right about now. I am sure its already etched in stone with a date and time of the Auburn game and posted somewhere prominent. As if we needed any more fuel for the fire. This is why we love YouTube.
Alabama fans will make Seastrunk the next Fred Figglehorn with 26 million views before the seasons over.

I am absolutely shocked by these allegations of improper and unethical conduct at Clemson.

Am I the only one pissed because the owners of this blog get to post videos and the rest of us don’t?
I’ll bet every single one of us could post a video of an important 90+ yard run/reception/INT return/KO return/punt return/fumble return/whatever that made a season memorable.
Why should only Holly and Orson be so privileged?
