FURTHER OFFLOADING OF THIS WEEKEND'S HALLUCINATIONS
There's so much to offload from the weekend's bushel of observations and associated halllucinations. Like this, for example:

Kiffin said he was "pretty excited," which is good to know for future UT players within arm's reach of him during critical points in games. Those around Ed Orgeron's celebrations got it worse, though, especially in the case of running back Montario Hardesty. If you are interested, we have heard that Montario will be keeping his baby, and he will attempt a natural childbirth, and Ed will be a part of the child's life because he believes fathers should be around and involved like that. (Ed gets REALLY excited on the sidelines, if you didn't know.)
Orgeron's old employer, da U, will not support "The U", the documentary about the University of Miami's heyday. If you a reminder about why you should watch the debut on December 12th, we present the box score from the 1991 Cotton Bowl as evidence:
(HT: Nathan.) Margin of victory: 43 points. Penalty yardage: 202 yards. Ahh, '91. A rich vintage, with notes of cordite, blood, cash from sweaty palms, and stripper.

I think Miami distancing itself from the movie actually adds to it’s appeal. It’s dirty and everyone knows it, but they’re trying to act like it didn’t happen and we should ignore it. Delicious.

Mr Positive Man Dept:
1) Hello Kitty: Not a fan of Lane Kiffin, but that smack-down of one of his players was great!
2) Weis: I feel a little bad about Charlie right now. He is going out humbly, not like he came in all full of himself. But, that is why he is paid the big bucks, to take the heat that comes along with the adulation from the acolytes.
3) Mangino: It will also be sad to see Mangino go….think about all of the laughs that will go away when he is porking out in South Beach.

That screen-cap is actually the official box score for the ’91 Cotton Bowl. The number of completed passes and first downs gained by either team were determined to be irrelevant as descriptors of the game, and therefore not part of the official game record.
The AP story simply read:
Miami did everything they could to get their entire team kicked out of football for good, and they still beat Texas by six touchdowns.

The only thing that could make that better is Crompton as the falling man from the opening sequence of “Mad Men”.

If I’m not mistaken, da U was a trendsetter – being the first to wear actual combat fatigues as they left the plane. Nike did not participate in the selection of the combat gear.

Twisted. Actually, the producers of Da U the movie and its subjects have dissassociated with the current version of the University of Miami as it is completely unrecognizable.

202 penalty yards? That is how you swagger.

Yay!! Let’s celebrate the douche bags who made it “cool” to take your helmet off after every first down or tackle.

Thanks for reminding me about that miserable game. Freezing cold, major hangover from NYE and
the Horns get smacked down after talking trash about the convicts.

Good thing the Miami fans still act like it’s 20 years ago. In many ways it’s more interesting than if the players were still channeling their inner Randal Hill and Lamar Thomas. I thought about going home for Thanksgiving and taking in the USF-Miami game on Saturday, but decided I didn’t want to be an innocent bystander caught in a 30-person upper-deck megabrawl.

Those Hurricanes are evil….They are much akin to Al Qaeda in every way. OBL was a Miami Northwestern graduate. I know UM’s graduation rate and entrance requirements for its athletes are much higher than most Public University/Football factories but DA U is a bunch of thug criminals. Our model citizens in the Big 12 and SEC would never act the way that those gangster thugs in Miami do.
