BLOGTOBERFEST! SUICIDAL HAT EDITION

by Orson on Oct 29, 2009 6:27 PM EDT

Assorted notes of varying necessity.

--In honor of Jacksonville: Locals The Black Kids.

--Sports Meme Rankings! Including the only empirical record of exactly how stale Chris Berman's cultural palette really is! Is it essential? WOULD WE WASTE NON-PERIOD PUNCTUATION ON JUST ANYTHING? Obviously not!

--Also on SBN: the power of The Black Taco transcends even our hate of baseball.

--Duck Voodoo shows you the tragic and graphic story of a USC hat without a reason to live.

--Oregon may be wearing the new carbon fiber helmets, black jerseys, and steel pants for the USC game. We wish they'd bring back the Electric Banana Nightmare to complement the 120 db noise in Autzen with a comparable visual stimulus, but USC players dropping dead from sensory overload is probably against some kind of college football bylaw.

--Because Holly really does crave hate mail: The Dregs.

--The Quest For Toronto continues undaunted at TNIAAM.

--Happy Halloween from the good puppets at HRB.

--BOOOOOOOM! Cocktail party, cocktail party.Bonus song to get you in the mood for the weekend from The Gurgling Cod.

duckvoodoo has done us proud. Of all the sideshow carnivals that orbit the periphery of the college
football world, I enjoy his simplicity and elegance the most. Only the completely committed follow
his inescapable logic and the purity of his passion. But well worth the trip. Seems altogether fitting,
somehow.

HRB has to win some sort of blogger award for the puppet shows this year. The one from earlier this week with Golden Tate trying to bring plutonium to San Antonio (and over 6 ounces, too! double whammy!) is hilarious, as was the video montage from after the USC loss.

pshhhhh….. I shit on your new fangled ‘Jacksonville’ music. Fucking this city birthed the whiskeyest-coke-origiest-plane-crashingest band in the world. LYNYRD FUCKING SKYNYRD!!!!! WOOOOO

The Ducks should pay you for all that marketing.

and you know where LYNYRD SKYNYRD played their last show? Greenville Memorial Auditorium in the beautiful upstate of SC… I like the fictional Driveby Truckers band name that honors the plane crash – BETAMAX GUILLOTINE… video killed the radio star…

A truly miserable game underway @ VaTech. UNC just wrapped up a sloppy, penalty filled drive, only to have VaTech answer with a FAILfest of their own, capped by Tyrod Taylor eating the ball on a “coverage sack.” Ineffectual offense being sold as good defense. No score, closing in on the end of the first half.

Don’t forget that while Jax gave us Skynyrd, it also inflicted Fred Durst on the world. Evolution in reverse I guess.

Just a quick note of thanks to ESPN for putting an ACC game up against the World Series. 7-0 at the end of the first half. Maybe the only college football that could make the World Series seem exciting.

[Tyrod Taylor flees from pocket and is sacked]

My UK buddy: “That play confirms every preexisting belief I had about Tyrod Taylor.”

Damn.

I thought you referenced the Dixie Dregs for a moment there.

The meme thing was pretty good, and I especially love anything where Orson(Spencer) rags on Berman’s old, douchey ass. The only things I really like about ESPN now are Erin Andrews and Michelle Beadle.

Okay, I have seen three different versions of the new “Blind Side” TV ad and I’ve seen Fulmer several times, followed by Holtz 3 times, Saban 3 times, Nutt and just now Tuberville. NO ORGERON! Was Da Coach O deemed too explicit for the prime-time ads? Is he the reason the movie’s PG-13?

At least you get the gobble, gobble sound effect on the football game. Baseball can’t compete with that shit.

Yeah, but baseball doesn’t have Ron Cherry officiating their game.

Somehow the Tar Heels win and once again the ACC has become a hot, sticky, indecipherable mess. Kind of comforting in a way.

The Curse of Abominable Unis: Gross blue = UNC fail. Gross orange = VT fail.

The ACC remains absurd.

Can lsufreek make a gif of the mechanical Ron Cherry doing ‘the robot’? He has great posture and is so deliberate in his gestures. The camera loves him as he always hit his mark…

sidenote: did anyone else think that Mr. Cherry seemed a little under the weather?

by Cocky Scar on Oct 29, 2009 11:04 PM EDT reply actions

19 – Cherry is unhappy that the SEC refs have stolen the spotlight :\

VT doesn’t have the golden years of linebacking led by Vince Hall and Xavier Adibi anymore. The 3 teams that have beaten them have all had at least one pretty good power running back. The 2 yard gains that turn into 4 and 5 yard gains are killing them. See also: VT in 2003.

#17, indecipherable? VT’s loss clears things up. GT and Duke( yes, that Duke) both control their own destiny and play in 3 weeks.

Any Notre Dame fan, and I say this as probably the loudest and certainly the angriest Notre Dame fan here, who wants the Irish to go to a BCS game is a sick, sadomasochistic goddamn pervert who should be locked away from children and small pets.
