Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Sets Assist High In Easy Win Over Sacramento

WHAT'S ON YOUR PROGRAM'S BUCKET LIST?

bucketlist
I've always wanted to hunt the most dangerous game . . . Ohio State fans.

Senator Blutarsky laid down the challenge, and T. Kyle King, who hates Auburn -- boy, does he ever hate Auburn -- responded with every bit of the gusto you'd expect and then some. So now the only question is, is 100 Things Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die just an Auburn thing, or is this book part of a series? Naturally, it's the latter, meaning that in addition to a team-specific tailgating tent, leather sofa, or casket, you can now have a bucket list tailored to the college football team of your choice.

Even leaving out all the baseball-themed volumes -- is "Stay awake through an entire MLB game" on any of those lists? It should be -- we don't have the time to slog through every one of these books, much less the resources to buy all of 'em. But that ain't gonna stop us from making some educated guesses as to what's on each list. Here's what we'd include, if we were instructing individual fan bases as to how they can optimize their respective fandoms before shuffling off their respective mortal coils:

100things_alabama

ALABAMA
* Pick three random years out of the past century and make a case for Alabama deserving a share of the national title in each of those years in a letter to the editor, comment on a rival blog, or graffito spray-painted on an opposing team's stadium.
* Get a houndstooth-patterned prosthesis or medical implant (i.e. hip replacement, pacemaker, or IUD).
* Cut off an Auburn fan's ear whilst listening to Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle With You."

Star-divide

BRIGHAM YOUNG
* Attend a bowl game other than the Las Vegas Bowl, just to see what it feels like.
* Serve a caffeinated beverage at a tailgate.
* Utter a swear word while watching a game.

GEORGIA
* Get pulled over for speeding and respond to the officer's request for license and registration by barking loudly in his face. (Extra points for doing so in Columbia, South Carolina, or Alachua County, Florida.)
* Find the suitcase containing Urban Meyer's soul and sell it back to him.
* Give a Georgia Tech student his first glimpse of female genitalia.

sharon_stone
What're you gonna do, charge me with failing to defend a triple-option offensive attack?

LSU
* Track down the source of the "LSU fans smell like corn dogs" rumor.
* Become the first human being to record a blood-alcohol level of 1.00 or greater.
* Slip Nick Saban a mickey and take a picture of yourself giving him a pair of Norwegian goggles.

MIAMI
* Sneak a firearm into a major sporting event.
* Beat up a Florida International fan just to feel alive.
* Take a ho to the seventh floor.

NOTRE DAME
* Have sex with a coed without being intoxicated, with a condom, and without going to Confession afterward.
* Keep Jimmy Clausen from getting sacked for a full hour.
* Witness a Notre Dame victory over Southern Cal. (Just kidding. There's no way you'll live that long.)

OHIO STATE
* Spend an entire night, alone, in the Southeastern Conference's headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama.
* Defecate in a styrofoam cooler. At a 4th of July picnic.
* "Dot the I" at Ohio Stadium naked from the waist down.

dot_the_i

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
* E-mail or call in a death threat to Jacquizz Rodgers, Jim Harbaugh, or Vince Young.
* Watch the Kim Kardashian sex tape in HD and pretend you're Reggie Bush.
* Get re-tweeted by Pete Carroll.

TEXAS
* Break into the Oklahoma University athletic-department building, drink beer, and urinate in their 2008 Big XII Championship trophy. Continue until trophy is filled to the top.
* Play keep-away with the hat of a Texas A&M "cadet."
* Play keep-away with the hot pants of a Texas pom squad member.

WEST VIRGINIA
* To get the feeling of what it's like to be a fan of a major historic D-IA football program, throw a brick through coach Bill Stewart's window.
* Have sex while wearing a coonskin cap.
* Set fire to a Rooms To Go store and burn the whole thing to the ground.

Replace “going to Confession” with crying and you can throw that on my bucket list as well.

Ole Miss:
Conspire to have Billy Cannon reincarcerated.
-Show up to a football game before kickoff and leave after the final whistle blows
-just once—to reaffirm your belief that football is really just secondary to “the party.”
-Give credit to Ed Orgeron for something. Honestly, anything at all will do.

  1. - Didn’t Billy Cannon go to LSU?

I read some of T Kyle’s stuff. He should apply for an honorary degree as an Ohio State football or Kentucky basketball fan. What a humorless dick.

norwegian goggles

An act of shame committed upon a passed out person, where the perpetrator places his hairy naked scrotum upon the closed eyes of the victim. This must be performed while facing the victim’s feet, so that the penis will naturally fall upon their nose in a manner resembling the noseguard of traditional viking helmets.

#4, Billy Cannon was indeed an LSU alumn. He was also incarcerated for forgery, and Ole Miss fans wouldn’t mind seeing him reincarcerated because his famous run happened against them. Last I checked he was still alive, so reincarnation ain’t happening just yet.

Erm……. off topic but Herbstreit and the Musberger are hosting College Football Live right meow. Herbie just predicted Auburn starting 6-1 or 7-0 heading into LSU.

  • Beat Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan in the same year. Or at least hold all the trophies at once.
  • Go to a bowl game that doesn’t end in “.com” or appear on the NFL Network
  • Have a conversation with other school’s football fans that doesn’t include the phrase “well, before your father was born…” when discussion the football program’s history.

Herbie is still trying to kiss up to Auburn fans for patronizing the 2004 team in Atlanta with this: “I just want to say the BCS worked. The two best teams are going to Atlanta. That’s not to take away anything from this Auburn team. But the system has gotten it right. Auburn, Tommy Tuberville, Jason Campbell and the Auburn faithful should just go to New Orleans and enjoy the Sugar Bowl.” How’d that OU secondary work out for you in the Orange Bowl, Herbie? You know, the one that gave up 35 points to OSU and Texas A&M in the regular season? How ‘bout that stellar USC run defense that almost got that team beaten by eventual 4-7 Stanford and 6-6 UCLA the same year. Yeah, clearly, those were the two best teams. So clear that the SEC now has TWO subsequent national championships for teams whom voters DID actually jump in the polls at the end of the year. Hmmmmm. Could that be a back-handed apology to Auburn, in the form of trophy opportunities for the ’06 Gators and ’08 LSU Tigers. Urban Meyer and Les Miles don’t have to apologize, Kirk. You should. Or at least shut the hell up.

by Au Bill on Aug 5, 2009 3:58 PM EDT reply actions  

The above quote should read: “The two best teams are going to Miami. …” And, yes, we’re still bitter. You would be too if you’d listened for a lifetime to ignorant Bammers count championships out of Happy Meals.

Ole Miss:

-See the football team go to Omaha and the baseball team go to Atlanta. That’d be awesome, right?
-Have an act of God, crooked official, timekeeping error, etc., result in a defeat of Alabama and/or LSU. Break their fucking hearts.
-Have a go at Southern Football’s favorite carnival game: “Whack the fuck out of the Buckeyes”
-Go to a game in a jersey and jeans. Don’t look down on anyone. Realize how lame this is and never do it again.

I’m having a nice laugh here at the visceral and sincere hate the poor wittle webels have for LSU and Cannon. You haven’t been relevant for 50 years and it’s going to stay that way. It just….warms the soul to see such bitterness at their own failures. But keep yapping, it’s cute.

Florida(with Tebow):
-Beat Auburn
-Beat LSU @ Death Valley
-Beat Ole Miss
-Keep Tim Tebow from ascending to heaven @ halftime of the Tenn. game
-Keep Corch Urban Meyers from going to Notre Dame after Tebow leaves.
-Try to enjoy the year with a big ass target on your back with every team trying giving you their best shot. Ask Georgia how that worked out.

the Ohio State University

- beat an SEC team in a bowl game
- return the favor to Corch Urban Meyers for 1/8/2007 (solves #1)
- continue to beat Michigan until Fielding Yost causes an earthquake from spinning in his grave.

Ole Miss talking smack about/to tOSU is funny. Had we faced Ole Miss in a bowl game at any time in the last 30 years, we would have a winning percentage. Go get your shine box.

Couple more for Georgia:

Manage to get through one game without witnessing fan behavior that makes your wife turn to you and sarcastically say “Go Dawgs.”

See a Mark Richt-led team crush another team’s collective windpipe and not take a knee inside the opponent’s 5.

Have a season where Georgia beats Florida and DOES NOT have an indefensible, nightmarish, embarrasing loss to an inferior team.

Crabapple, you may be right about your hypothetical Ole Miss-Ohio State matchups, but there isn’t a Southern football fan alive likely to give you the benefit of the doubt. The school is 0-12 in bowls against Southern opponents if you include three losses to FSU and Clemson, and 1-10-2 in history against SEC schools not named Vanderbilt or Kentucky.

chg,

You have a memory of convenience. Miami is still in the south isn’t it? I remember January 3, 2003 like it was yesterday. Now quit trying to include other schools in the SEC. 0-9 is bad enough. Even SEC fans know we could have beaten Ole Miss in any of the 30 previous years, and yes, I remember Eli Manning went there too.

Sorry, Crabapple. I wasn’t trying to overlook Miami or your title. They are physically located in the South. So is Mexican Big Six conference, but I don’t consider them Southern either. It has nothing to do with any attempt to overlook or downplay that win, and everything to do with the culture of the school and city. Anything below Orlando is not Southern.

Back to Ohio State, if not for the fact that you have actually played and lost to South Carolina in two NYD bowls, I suspect you would have the same attitude towards the Gamecocks. Unless you are surrounded by SEC fans, I really don’t think you know the strength of the average SEC fans convictions about your Buckeyes.

I would almost guarantee if you poll SEC fans about potential bowl match-ups (meaning seasons where the two programs were on relatively equal footing and could conceivably meet in a bowl) between Ole Miss and Ohio State, the overwhelming majority would go with Ole Miss. For instance, I would take last year’s Ole Miss over 2008 Ohio State in a bowl game.

by lhb98 on Aug 6, 2009 3:03 PM EDT reply actions  

  1. … but that would be insane. There’s little reason to think Mississippi could give Ohio State a game, let alone beat them. It’s about on the same level as a Pac 10 fan suggesting Oregon State would beat Alabama or Florida in a bowl game (at least with the Rogers brothers healthy). Or a Big Ten fan saying Iowa could take Oregon or USC down. Yes, all three teams upset the big dogs in their conference and could probably beat another conference’s big dog if they got the same bounces, but that’s extremely unlikley.
