TOMMY TUBERVILLE ANSWERS A FEW QUESTIONS

Adam James has his hand out first for the paycheck….

Then TT flaps his ears and flies away…

wait a minute…isn’t the backup press conference area the alleged “electrical closet”??? Adam James ain’t going in there

For the record, Tony Franklin is available for OC.

I am glad I am not the only one with hideous Auburn ties.

I will be curious to watch how the next two seasons develop in South Bend and Lubbock, since the Raiders took my choice for Head Coach at Notre Dame.

All the best for you and your family TT.

I’m rooting for someone to use James as a practice tool for chop blocks. You gonna need to sacrifice someone to learn the technique might as well be that douchebag.

Somewhere in Columbus, Jim Tressel is collecting this piece from the printer and heading towards the bathroom with a tub of cocoa butter and a beach towel. He will lock the door.

Tuberville will be fine in Lubbock. I hear it’s like Auburn, except with dust storms and flying tortillas. To his credit, he’s already used to having meddlesome outsiders interfering with his program, so having Daddy James calling twice a week to check up on playing time for his precious son shouldn’t pose an issue for him.

Barkevious speaks, Mingovians listen….

As for the 9-4 season that some see as a reason to show Miles the door, Mingo disagrees as an insider looking out, instead of the other way around.

"Get over it," Mingo said. "A lot of people try to put their two cents in, but really they don’t know what they’re talking about. He gets paid for this. Just let him do his job. It will work out."

I now feel better about 2010

TTU’s big-money alumni must be the biggest bunch of stodgy stuffed shirts this side of every other group of big-money alumni. You know they didn’t fire Leach because of one crybaby player. He was too weird for them, and he didn’t kiss their butts enough. Kinda like Pepper Rodgers at Georgia Tech — they fired him despite his overcoming ridiculous recruiting disadvantages to go to a couple bowls, because he wore a perm.

Ask any crowd of stodgy, stuffed-shirt moneybags in the country to draw up their ideal coach, and you get a picture of Tommy T.

Tubs is going to have a real fun time implementing his boring ass offense on a team that hasn’t recruited a fullback in almost a decade.

Wasn’t one of the stipulations that he has to keep the current offensive staff? Add in a Tubs defense and that could be potent.

Given the rank xenophobia and insulation that pervaded the dying days of the Tubs @ Auburn Empire, having the previous hirings of a coach that was run out of town by the Athletic Director is going to have some very interesting dynamics. Until they can be fired for asking players to exercise outside, in the sun, where it’s kinda hot.

I took that coupon to Kroger’s and they looked at me like I was crazy.

Also, Tuberville says he calls all his big play wide receivers “Cadillac.”

And who can forget that classic Iron Bowl where Auburn didn’t take the field for three quarters in a 21-13 win? Best coaching job I’ve ever seen.

Air Raid? More like Air STAID! Am I right?

Kill me.

better keep that pine box handy, Coach…

(On the other hand, I can’t blame him for leaving Ole Mush, because it eventually brought us the wonder and majesty of DACOACHO. Heavens to Betsy.)

2010-11 Red Raider Predictions:

September – Inexplicable loss to New Mexico – state that “our goal of winning the Big 12 is still attainable.”

October – Beat UT – raise one finger aloft, “fear the middle finger.”
Beat TAMU 3-2.

November – Underdog raiders upset Oklahoma in Norman by kicking the game-winning field goal twice due to a perfectly timed “freeze-the-kicker” timeout by Bob Stoops.

Then, get run out of the stadium in a route by Missouri.

December – Despite not playing in Big 12 championship game, proclaim sleves “co”- Big 12 South Champs.

Lose bowl game because you don’t care about outcome.

January through August – Duck Hunting.

Question – is it legal in the Big-12 to win a game 3-2?

Tubby says he’s gonna run the Air Raid, but fat chance.

Once TT loses a game, a defensive guy like Tubby is not going to leave the gameplan unaltered. He’ll want to take a WR off and put in a TE, and then run the ball at least 25 times a game.

No way he’s going to put up with 62-56 scores either.

@ Drake,

Damn that is spon on (but don’t forget smoking cigars on the field in Norman after the win)…

I waited all weekend for this post and I was rewarded. Bless you, Senor Swindle, bless you…

“Tommy Tuberville walks into the backup press conference area at Texas Tech”

this is the subtle genius that makes edsbs great. bravo.

The Air Raid will be scraped once Tommy realizes the linemen can’t effectively chop block out of the wide splits Tech is used to.

“If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours, hire Tommy Tuberville to coach your football team.”

God help me, I swear off CFB for a long weekend and I find myself in The Friggin Twilight Zone. If you had told me 4 days ago that Teletubbie is at TTU, Pete Carroll is a Seaboid & Leavitt gets fired, I would have said WTF you’re crazy as Houston Dale Nutt.

Oh man, you have perfectly summed up Tuberville’s football philosophy in one blog post. That is friggin’ amazing! BTW, he loves to take chances, loves coaching special teams, is a better recruiter than he is coach, and he loves Lubbock and hopes he never has to move (despite the annual floating of his name to raise his salary from the $1.5 million per year to somewhere north of $3 million per year).

Guns up!

You can tell from what Tubs said in his first press conference he is not going to run the Air Raid offense. He said he believed in ball control. In other words long time consuming drives. This is not the Air Raid which thrives on scoring as many points as quickly as possible. A spread offense is not the Air Raid. I will be surprised if what we see on the field even resembles the current offense.

I once watched a Tubby team hold on to the ball for an entire QUARTER of football against South Carolina…..

That, plus the 3-2 game vs. MSU and the 9-0 win over Bama and myriad other examples should tell you Tubs is a ball control, run-first kind of guy.

With the right OC though, (ahem, Al “Gorgeous” Borges) the 2004-2005 AU teams led the SEC in scoring. (Although they were still run-oriented, ball control…)

TTech fans should only worry if Tubs hires anyone who sounds like Teve Tensminger or You Wall….(…HS coach and current trucking company employee…..)

Tech already hired Ensminger (shakes head)
