WE WERE RIIIIIIIIGHT. When you're right so infrequently, you have to gloat when you can. Ahem: The teams are remarkably similar in build and methodology, but if you have to go with anything, go with Tyrod Taylor’s ability to, on one or two frenetic occasions in the game, reach between his two very talented cheeks and just pull something from his ass. Ahoy, ass-pulled wonderplay!
Taylor also fumbled once doing that, but he gives, and he takes, and did enough spectacular scrambling to keep Tech drives alive in a 16-3 victory over the ECU Pirates, who shot themselves in the wooden leg all night with drive-killing penalties. Tech freshman Ryan Williams also had 179 clock-killing yards and got to show off the "Sweetness" tat on his forearm for the cameras, so yeah, it was as slow a night of football as one might expect. Chicken fightin'. Louisianans are not just loyal to Bobby Hebert because he's Cajun, but because he is Cajun, actually played winning football for the Saints from time to time, and because he's Cajun and quotable. Hebert's son T-Bob will line up across from the People's Republic of Terrance Cody this Saturday in the LSU/Bama game, and Bobby has advice for him involving chickens and crabs. "I told T-Bob the thing to do is to get into a chicken fight with him," Hebert said, meaning scratch and claw and do anything short of putting another lineman on his shoulders. "If he's aggravated with you, then it's harder for him to make a play," Hebert said. "It's going to be a challenge. He's got to fight any way he can. He's Cajun like his daddy and his granddaddy and his relatives, so he'll be fighting, I know that. He's got to do what they call the crab block — stay low and aggravate him. I'm not saying to be dirty, but T-Bob's got to stay low against him and bother him and try different things." He's saying punch him in the balls, scratch at him, and bother him. Also, we think he's trying to tell him to feed whole chickens to him during the game. Good strategy, but let's suggest another one and go for turkey, just to get the tryptophan coma working for you in the third and fourth quarter. Possible disadvantage: turkey's pretty greasy, so if consuming seven turkeys over the course of a game merely arouses him, he'll be huge and slippery. Take advice at your own risk, T-Bob. No word: on Urban Meyer's possible fine/suspension from the SEC. When white smoke comes from the offices in Birmingham, we'll know Mike Slive is burning hundreds to let people know it's a fine. Unconcerned with your Tom of Finland Lion: TP ain't skurred of your puny t-shirts. He will be wearing pants. Riley Skinner has been cleared to play against Georgia Tech on Saturday. It is a slow weekend of football when one of the five bullet points to kick off a late morning news update involves Wake's qb, but that is where we're at on a lackluster Saturday of football that IS STILL THREE THOUSAND TIMES BETTER THAN ANY SATURDAY IN THE OFFSEASON. |

I think I remember a foolproof method for scaring T Cody and causing him to lose focus… just drop a mouse on the ground in front of him and he will be hopping foot to foot and squealing like a girl…
wait…no, that was for elephants…. well it might work anyhow

Is it just me or have there been an overabundance of lackluster football Saturdays this year?

When is Walter Payton going to come out and inspire gay athletes everywhere? No knock on Walter, who was perhaps the greatest running back ever, but nobody gets the nickname “Sweetness” because they’re nice.

No it’sn not just you. Some of the lackluster comes from ESPN. Since all of the big games are on CBS (Ess EEE Seee) they don’t quite hype them like other weeks. But sadly most of the lackluster football comes from the product on the field every weekend.

I’m guessing this isn’t the forum to actually make book, so for strictly entertainment purposes, let me start a line on the SEC flexing it’s muscle on Herr Meyer.
Suspension: 100:1
Fine greater than $25k: 50:1
Fine less than $25k: 10:1
A good talkin’ to: even money

Any word on suspensions for the lazy media/bloggers regarding the Eye Gouging that Never Happened?
I guess if you say something enough times, it becomes factual. Who knew?

DHC @ 10 – I bet if we all listed our top 5 things that we thought had become factual due to repetition, this blog could burst into flames in under an hour… and the majority of posts would still be from the Bama – Auburn axis.

ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou. ESPN has fired Lou.
Did it work? Or do I have to repeat it more? :\

+10 for the greasiness of turkey, especially when its a good ol’ fried turkey (the only way we eat ’em).
Heard Bobby Hebert on the radio here in Charlotte this morning he ain’t afeared for T-Bob’s life.

Off topic, but the Missus’ best friend offered her free tickets to Alabama-LSU this weekend. She turned them down, not knowing if I wanted to go.
Yeah, Alabama alum and all, no way I’d want to go, right?
It’s a damn good thing I love her.

Who the fuck names their child “T-Bob” for cyin’ out loud? Seriously? T-Bob?
I bet his brother is named Jim-Bob and is sister is named Sissy.

Eer—
It’s short for Robert, Jr., or “Petit Bob” in Cajun patois.
by Orson Swindle on Nov 6, 2009 11:56 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
@16
T-Bob is a nickname — the "T" is a Cajun prefix that derives from the French word petit, for "little" or "small." T-bob goes as "Little Bob" to distinguish him from his dad.
by chuy on Nov 6, 2009 11:59 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Whatever. I bet his brother is still named Jim-Bob.
What should I call my son:
(a) Robert, Jr.
(b) Bob or Bobby
© Junior (ala Dale “Junior” Ernhart)
(d) T-Bob
The natural “cajun” choice: (d). I bet he’s got “T-Bob” on his driver’s license.

EDSBSers are defending the nickname “T-Bob” ? Really?
by Johnny on Nov 6, 2009 12:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
If we glory in “Nubian Peak,” we must glory in “T-Bob.” It’s only fair to outlandish names everywhere.

Football insight and rumours, creative writing, excellent photoshops and now I am actually learning about different cultures.
The cajuns have always interested me, I think T-xxx is fantastic.

So, what is the SECs plan to deal with the coaches’ ire?
Fine and suspend them all or actually do something about the refs?

@ Johnny: Didn’t know Brandon Spike’s g/f went to UNM. Interesting.

Good job citing your ignorance as evidence of your superiority.

#27/Techie – Good point. Unfortunately, I’m going with bluster, threaten & punish rather than deal with the actual problem of awful officiating.
Stupid and subjective rules like the ban on celebratin’ put the zebras in a bad spot.

Did someone leave a window open? I think I feel a draft.

verne lundquist: “wow, that’s another cockpunch on cody from t-bob hebert.”
gary danielson: “right, verne. he’s been cockpunching cody all day. it seems to really be aggrivating him. that’s just plain good advice from the cajun cannon.”

I motion that from henceforth, UF Coach be named Corch Irvin Meyers. Not just by EDSBS, but ESPN, CBS, AP…

“Good job citing your ignorance as evidence of your superiority.”
Huh? Never said I was superior. Just that “T-Bob” is quite an interesting name.

Growing up in the NO area as a Saints fan, I have a love/hate relationship w/ Monsieur Hebert. Great to good in the regular season, but put him against Deion and the Falcons or any other team in the post season and that mofo can’t throw to the guys with the right jerseys on!
