“a bachelor’s of fine arts from the University of Southern Mississippi”

if there is one thing hattiesburg is know for, it’s fine art.

That robot is not from the movie Robots Orson….it is obviously the Humping Robot from Robot Chicken

I believe Humpbot from Robot Chicken was a mildly successful SGA presidential candidate at ‘Bama last year. Then he did too much coke one night at a frat party before the election and then — well, Southern people don’t really know how to clean up dead robots and other pagan robot stuff, so they just let him lay there.

One day they’ll remember him in Tuscaloosa as the humping, robotic Len Bias…

Using my coach-speak to human translation program, I think that means that Meyer moves to South Bend
after the 2010 season. Is that about right?

It don’t matter if ole Urban CRYER (ha!) sticks around, as soon as TEABAG (ha!) is gone the program will revert back to its 80’s – no 70’s (Doug DICKey)(ha!) form JORTS ARP RTR12 argha ouoigasdlghasdkfhsdaflaj

Why does it seem like every CFB blogger in the world is reprinting those remarks and nodding along in full agreement? This site, Shanoff (over and over again, not terribly surprising), FanHouse, even the good Doctor got into the, “Yep, this clearly means he won’t be coaching at ND.” The same shit happened with Rodriguez, Saban, Petrino, Erickson…the list goes on and on, but every time, everyone seems to nod along and say, “Well, that settles that.”

Disclaimer: I’m an Irish fan, I don’t think Meyer will be coaching there anytime soon, but the mindless “HE SAID IT OFFICIALLY, IT MUST BE TRUE.” after years and years of coaches lying through their teeth about anything and everything, at every level of the game, should have taught us a lesson that no one seems to have learned.

The Senator agrees: http://blutarsky.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/that-was-then-this-is-now-2/

Mike, for my part, I’m trying to put this thing to rest because I’m really, really, ruh-HEALLY sick of having to write about it and at this point I don’t care if he coaches there until he’s ninety or bails on the first of August to serve as a special Pointing And Looking Awesome envoy to Korea.

I always root for ND to tank, but this year would have an added benefit. If Fat Charlie gets canned Urban’s bluff will be called and we will have a resolution to this never ending (non) story.

I might hate Miami, but that picture is beyond awesome. Bravo, whomever.

I understand everyone having fun and stirring the pot but the simple facts are that it is a very long shot for Meyer to end up at Notre Dame. Weis has a contract through 2015 paying somewhere around $4 million a year, and while it would be fun to see Notre Dame bring some astronomical contract and test Meyer’s statement, I doubt that they will be in that kind of financial position for a long time.

/preparing for onslaught of Notre Dame has more money than God comments

I’d much rather have a sculpture of a giant robot sitting around than some lame, abstract shape.

All sculptures should be of giant robots, in my opinion.

Well, they do have more money than God, but I think the bigger problem right now would be more public perception than money. Honestly, they probably do have the money to do it, but to pour out a truckload of money on Meyer’s head in these economic times, especially for a Catholic university, would be inviting a firestorm of negative press, and Notre Dame’s administration has shown they’ve got no real stomach for that. (unless the donations start drying up, in which case they’ll ball up and do what they have to – right Tyrone?)

Ah, Bastille Day. The day the French celebrate their victory over French police officers.

Of course their national anthem is ornery and hateful. You’d be ornery and hateful too if you were everyone else in Europe’s bitch. Little old Irish women are tougher than the French. And far more polite, too.

Tom Servo has the hots for the Bama robot.

All sculptures should be of giant robots, in my opinion.

….I can find no fault with this logic.

Fun side note to the Meyer thing: Doc Saturday’s mention of this sparked an anti-Catholicism screed in the first six comments. Not anti-ND, just anti-Catholicism. Yahoo commentators are the craziest people in the world.

That’s nothing. I wrote about Boise State’s new uniforms a couple weeks ago and a Palestinian state argument broke out on the first page of comments. No kidding.

RE: Meyer and the Domers, one thing I fail to see mentioned is, just four years ago, Urban had Notre Dame at his door with hat in hand, an open HC position and sacks of legal tender.

He flat turned them down. The media at the time went into total meltdown at the prospect of the hottest corch in Amerika turning down Notre Dame in favor of Florida.

And, last time I checked, Pear Bryant is currently employed by ND as head coach and figures to be there for a few more years at a minimum.

This is such a non-story made up by rival coaches and their media lackeys who are all moist at the though of Urban leaving the SEC.

I see where Coach O’s “voluntary” workouts snapped an ACL. Just wait until the full contact halftimes.

Oh, stop kidding, DHC. It’s well established that ND never offered Coah Meyers the job.

On a separate note, why are tube socks so abrasive?

Mystery Science Theater kicks ass #15.

Agreed. Unfortunately, my girlfriend of the last two years doesn’t. That’s what she gets for spending four years in Knoxvega$.

Easy now; I spent four years in Knoxville and twenty more living right outside it and count MST3K among the greatest works in recorded human history. Think the problem might be with your girl’s sense of humor.

Unfortunately, not every one is blessed with a wife/girlfriend/significant other with your unbeliveable combination of looks, brains and personality. (Mine for example, (a) is an Auburn grad and (b) would not find this near as funny as I do). Having said that, I consider myself lucky that I found a woman who would put up with my golf-loving, Tuscaloosa-raised, Alabama graduate, CPA self.

Oh, I didn’t mean to make fun, only to stand up for dear Alma Mater. (And I’m dating a Georgia grad, so I hear you there.)

Holly @26:

Point taken. (I guess I was more trying to defend the poor girl by stating you are the exception, not the rule).

BTW, they’re opening a Lego store here (Galleria in Hoover – should be ready for SEC Media days (opens 7/30). Think Doug’ll be there?

On Urban going to ND: Unlikely, since Notre Dame’s football players are required to more closely resemble college students in scholastic ability than Florida’s, and Urban needs a little more freedom in recruiting than the Irish will allow. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

On the robot sculpture: Something about her reminds me of Richie Rich’s robot maid, Irona. Anyone? Anyone?

To celebrate Bastille Day, I played Rush’s “Bastille Day” loudly. Them are some talented Canadians right thurr.

Hey, if Urban Meyer leaves for ND, Florida can promote Charlie Strong, and we’ll hear the end of that.

Come on. We all know that the real reason for celebration this Bastille Day is that “The State” has now officially been released on DVD.

Holly-

I think honey pie’s difference is her extreme devotion to her Pi Beta Phi ordeal. She’s featured in their next magazine. Plus being Miss Forida Majorette makes it worse.

She does salvage herself with her love for Ted Peter’s Famous Smoked Fish – especially smoked mullet (TCOAN & O will vouch for that).

Ah, once again the French show us that having a good fight song doesn’t translate to success on the field…
