IT WON'T BE CALLED CALHOUN'S FOR A REASON NOW

Play "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" with the question "Who/What is Troy Calhoun?"

OPTION ONE: An ersatz brand jeans discontinued after lead-tainted cloth killed and sickened 27 customers in the Greater Northwest era.

OPTION TWO: India's 15th most popular moped model

OPTION THREE: Played "Cowboy flung into horse watering trough #5 in Silverado."

OPTION FOUR: Air Force's head coach who is staying at his job and not going to Tennessee.

If you chose option four, you get Carl Kassell on your voicemail or home answering machine, but only after he sleeps with your girl and shows you how a real g do.

Tennessee is now down to David Cutcliffe of Duke, Derek Dooley of LA Tech, and Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele. LET'S GET EXCITED!

Addazzio, Orson, do not forget Addazzio. YOU ARE INFLUENTIAL ON THE INTERNETZ AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS SHIT HAPPEN.

Please don’t be Derek Dooley. I won’t be able to take the ESPN narrative that will go along with the UGA – UT game if that happens.

It must be Bo Pelini! Then GERG can come to Lincoln. All will be right with the world!

Duh. Everyone knows that Bajaj is India’s 15th best-selling moped.

Paula Poundstone would prefer Carl stop referring to as “muh bitch”

Amid rumors of him leaving for UT Calhoun called a team meeting to tell his players he wasn’t going anywhere, regardless of the shiny coins thrown at him. Tim Calhoun loves America. No Tennessee, you can not buy away the patriotism of a true American!

Calhoun did this BEFORE he told the press of his intentions. He did not have to do this. He simply could have said no to the offer without involving the cadets in his charge. Instead he COMMUNICATED with his team. All joking about his patriotism aside, he seems like a stand up guy.

I am not indicting the UT program, so Vol fans save your vitriol, but why is Tennessee attracting the douchbags and not the ‘character’ guys for it’s HC?

Cutcliff is the coitus interruptus of college football head coaching. Like hiring a condum. Yeah, he’s safe but no fun at all.

Little known fact… Carl Kassell’s nickname at the NPR offices is “panty melter.” Any man who gives away his voice as a prize has got to be the realist dude of all time.

by RanchyBalls on Jan 14, 2010 3:37 PM EST reply actions  

Dooley is not an absolutely terrible choice, but Tech probably needs some Houston-esque busting on to the scene for him to really be credibly linked to a big time program. He’s also just too young with too little HC experience to be considered at this point. He has done more with less though which is the sign of a good coach; he just hasn’t done enough yet. And, with that, I’m pretty sure I just talked myself out of my original thesis.

HIRE FUCKING LEACH ALREADY!

Fulmer. Weis. Mangino. Friedgen. Amstutz. When quality’s not available, Tennessee, always go for quantity.

@ 8

You can spell “coitus interruptus” but not “condom?”

I read Peter Seigal’s book. He’s either a liar, a bitch-ass, gay or dead from the ankles up.

I am starting to buy into all this 2012 Aztec apocalypse stuff. What kind of world are we in where one would rather be the HC at airforce or the DC at Texas than the HC of a top SEC school.
Then again God loves awesomeness and therefore will not forsake Leach to coaching ECU. Leach to UT now!

Is Rory Calhoun available?

by Isay Isay on Jan 14, 2010 4:40 PM EST reply actions  

Maybe Tennessee should make a run at Saban if nobody wants to coach at their Top SEC School.

What a fucked up mess. Part of me is thrilled to see Tennessee get pwned for having ever hired a douche bag like Kiffin in the first place. However, there was MAYBE some deniability about Kiffin’s dickheadedness when they made the hire: Al Davis isn’t much of a character reference. USC, on the other hand, is hiring a bad coach who is almost certain to inflame the NCAA and who is clearly lacking in even the slightest little bit of character.

I’ve always liked USC, but this is bad.

How ’bout this: if a coach leaves one DI school for another after either 1) less than 4 seasons with the first schoool; or 2) prior to the final whistle of the final bowl game, then the second school: 1) loses a scholarship for every player that de-commits from the first school; and 2) cannot offer scholarships to players or committed recruits from the first school.

What? Nobody has mentioned John C. Calhoun? He’s available, and very well rested I hear.

Orson only breaks out the NPR jokes after football season… when he’s got nothing to do at 11am on a Saturday other than listen to Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me

@ 21 In spite of all the things I’ve forgotten from my AP US History course all those years ago, I will forever remember John C Calhoun not for his tenure in Congress, but as the ugliest man in American history. Neck beard ftw!

@15: Seigal, like all others that work best in one-liners and quips, becomes a train wreck when he tries to explain himself/his thinking by using things such as paragraphs and chapters.

As the saying goes: “Shut up and sing”

the missus once got me tickets to a live taping of WWDTM. I cried bitter bitter tears when Roy Blount Jr was really not funny. I’m talking quasi-lezbo child rapist Paula Poundstone was funnier. The host whose name I am too lazy to Google is the shit though. And I can assure you that Carl Kassel should talk for a living – ten words about XYZ disaster and the panties drop, Mox.

by haveagreatday on Jan 14, 2010 6:38 PM EST reply actions  

@25 – the host is Peter Sagal. I happened to pick up a copy of his book, The Book of Vice, last weekend (http://bit.ly/4U7Se1); very funny.

Holy Guacamole! An NPR reference on EDSBS! You ARE the man,Orson. (I once dated a smart girl and she made me listen to WWDTM on Saturday mornings)

If only this was on Sunday mornings. I would be spared the not-so-funny songs and skits of Garrison Keillor on the way to church.

I was also impressed how quickly Carl wrapped up the Treadstone Project in The Bourne Identity.

I hate WWDTM. Probably because I’m not a cat person. ; )
