DAVE NEAL. DAVE BAKER. DAVE BARRY. DAVE, THE RUNNING PLAY OHIO STATE RUNS 45% OF THE TIME. DAVE CAMPO. DAVE COULIER. DAVE DAVIES. All of these Daves would be preferable to Houston Nutt hiring Dave Rader as Ole Miss' new offensive coordinator in the eyes of most Ole Miss fans, though Red Cup Rebellion does point out that technically if you play quarterback under Dave Rader, your quarterback rating will get better, which should probably happen without a quarterback coach as long as your name isn't Reggie Ball. Doc Saturday had a piece on Houston Nutt's inability to utilize Dexter McCluster until halfway through the 2009 season, which while well-written and informative could have just been condensed to what everyone who watches him coach offense knows about him: you get hamburger no matter what ingredients you put in. Filet Mignon in the freezer? LET'S MAKE HAMBURGER. Head cheese and five eggs? HAMBURGER.
Hamburgers are nice, filling, and good for eight or nine wins a season. Don't pretend that's not good, but don't pretend that's not what you're getting with Houston Nutt no matter what ingredients you write on the grocery list.
OOH LOOK AT ME I CAN DO MATH. In case you needed to remember how much math you've completely forgotten, just read this. It should sufficiently embarrass you in a matter of seconds and remind you why it's so much easier to say "THIS GUY, he's just got a lot of heart and guts, and that's what makes him a great quarterback."
THE STATUE OF NICK SABAN IS COMPLETED. And its similarity to the coach is being noted by many in the Alabama student body.
YOU MAY HAVE MY DAUGHTERS AND MY FINEST CATTLE. As recruiting heats up, let us all take a moment to remind us what separates our present state of modern convenience, splendor, and civilization from 500 B.C. and the wholesale bartering of people: exactly two seconds and something we want.
KIDS THESE DAYS. If there's one crucial difference between the 'Canes of yesteryear and the milder edition currently on scholarship in Coral Gables, it's that while today's 'Canes talk about making sex tapes, and think about sex tapes, the previous editions would have made Sexercise With DJ at The Stabbin' Cabin, Vols. 1-29 without so much as thinking about it.

Math I've completely forgotten?
That’s chock full of math I never even learned!
J-school + Law school = the highest math I took was Stats.
You've obviously never met
Tommy Tuberville, he invented it.
I'm in no condition to drive...wait! I shouldn't listen to myself, I'm drunk.

math I've forgotten? pfft
O-
For those of us who didn’t major in comma placement, this is Physics 1 stuff, much of which was taught in high school. Ballistic physics is by far the most fun physics.
The fun part is the y0 (don’t know how to do subscript here). That is the initial height where the ball is released from (which is excluded for convenience from the later equations because Drew Brees is short, and therefore has no vertical height).
Analysis of “the fritata” also excludes y0, since tebow’s release is at his knees.
pfft, is right
Even I had that stuff in high school in West f’n Virginia. And the problem was made even easier since he neglected both the drag coefficient of the football and the effects of windage. Everyone knows you can’t do that when shooting at squirrels.

Didn't know
that they taught math in West By God Virginia. I guess I learn something new everyday. ;)
physics for simpletons
yes, if you throw a perfect sphere in a vaccum, that math is helpful. the physics of football is actually much more interesting – drag, torque, moment of inertia, rifling, etc. good times.

What about?
Dave Roth and the “You better stop squirtin’ me with that squirt gun pal, or I’m gonna fuck your girlfriend” offense. It’d be high energy and unpredictable as fuck.
You know LSU had some statues like that in the art garden
I swear one of them looked like an elephant turd, and another a viciously curved penis.
That means LSU gave someone an ‘A’ for that shit…..
And that physics is high school stuff.
Are you sure that statue wasn't of Urban...
… the resemblance is striking.
Stabbin' Cabin
That’s pretty legit if for nothing more than the realization that the 7th Floor Crew never put out any of these gems to follow up their original masterpiece.
-Feel Jimmy’s Johnson Vol. 1-24
-David makes it an Ortega Night on the Crimson Tide
-Scoop that Crudup: A Scat Story
-Jacory & Brandon: Two Harris’ One Cup
And my personal favorite

Yeah BoYeeEEeeE

A piece like "Argyle," prominently aligned in the center of Woods Quad, thrusts its large-scale dimensionality onto people who might not ordinarily view a lot of art.
The insertion of the piece into public space can cause physical reactions as well.
These are the product of 45 minutes of extra work by a writer cramming every dick joke he could think of into the piece and 90 minutes of work by a beleaguered copy editor trying desperately to catch them all.
if that's a statue of nick saban...
he needs to see a doctor. immediately.

Maths is good
Why doesn’t the mathematician take into account the height at which the said projectile leaves the QB’s hand? If velocity and theta are equal yet leave at different distances from terra firma, then won’t the footballs travel different distances?
I would
absolutely LOVE 8 or 9 wins a year.

Wow, a giant Argile Penis
Pack it up people. We can’t go any further, we’ve reached the pinnacle. Any further effort would just be a waste of time. This is as far as civilization can go.
Light a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day.
Light a man afire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Math
The only part of the math I didn’t remember was the trig identity. Considering I was a Math & Stat major I’m not sure if it’s a bad thing I don’t recall it.
There's a flag on the play; looks like another delay of game on the Rebels, Verne
Gosh and they’ve used up all of their time outs cutting it close on the play clock.
A fine gentleman and decent chap, but woe is Ole Miss, unless he has changed his ways in quantum leaps, Monsieur Rader is functionally unable to consistently decide what play to run quickly enough to call it downstairs and get it onto the field in time for the QB to announce it to the team and get a snap off with more than five seconds left on the play clock. You just watch. Procedure jumps are just one byproduct of this bad habit.
Well, whaddayaknow? It IS Saturday!
Which is why the quarterback ought to be trained to run the two-minute offense his own damn self when needed.
Incomplete pass or out of bounds or time out? Sure, let the geniuses upstairs do their thing.
Clock is running? You need a leader in the huddle smart and well-taught enough to give the team a reasonable play to run next, and get it off pronto.

But they will be the master of the...
…jumbo formation. They will run nothing but the jumbo formation…third and 13, RB up the middle for 2. I still have nightmares about Darby and his being tackled by the turf.
Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
