GENE CHIZIK REALLY LIKES TO GET IN THERE. WAY IN THERE

Gene Chizik likes to get in there. Way, way in there. Sometimes up to his motivational wrist, practically.
"What we love the most about Coach Chizik is that he gets in our behinds every single play -- defense, offense and special teams," Bynes said. "He’s a competitor, and we see that in him. I’m not saying that Coach Tuberville wasn’t a great coach. He was a very good coach. But Coach Chizik is more into you.
"He’s a players’ coach. He’s in the drills. He’s in our faces. He’s getting in our behinds. He’s pushy, but he’s only going to make us a better team and better players.
Other coaches save that for special occasions, but Gene Chizik understands that you have to get in their behinds on every single play, because that's the only way they're going to learn to like it. The proof is in the pudding, they say, and players agree that they love it, and keep coming back for more every time. Why? Because they like the way Gene Chizik gets in their behinds, getting practically pushy with it and really digging in there. Only through repeated and consistent attempts at getting in there can you really get them to do what you want as a coach.
Just look at that picture, man. You can tell Chizik's REALLY in that behind. Deep. Championship depth, that. Practically leaving the wristwatch of greatness up in there, man. (HT: Matt.)

Back at Iowa State
Coach C created the “animal husbandry drill.” It’s sort of like the Oklahoma drill, but with rubber gloves and manly grunting.
In other words...
…it’s the Oklahoma State drill.

That picture...
Scares the dickens out of me. And that’s fine by me, because that’s the last place I want the dickens.

Looks like Charlie Sheen in prison
It’s a good thing we’re no longer running the “Spread Eagle” offense. What are we calling it these days?

Maybe he actually is Charlie Sheen from the prison dimension

Definitely looks like he's pushing something out there
C’mon Gene…grab ahold of something, bite down and give it hell.
Don't you mean..
pushing something in?

he was winking at your girlfriend/wife. She’ll be back in a bit. He’s gonna really get behind her and teach her a few things.

The mans face was carved out of stone
he may have a high school coach running his offense and a jack ass with a backwards hat running around in limos
but if he were to walk into a synogogue he might be mistaken for a golem – he can go to Dragon Con and already be cos-playing as the Thing – the people on Easter Island were trying to make Chizik heads

Wha??? An Alabama fan referencing Yiddish folklore, Dragon-con AND Easter Island in the same post?
My head just ’sploded.

Hey, Geno learns from the best
You get in that ass, Larry!
Well, the players should be used to it
They’ve been taking it hard from everyone else the past two seasons.
Stop.
You had me at “War Eagle.”

Glad to see the Chiz gettin'

For some reason I expect to hear
“thank you sir, can i have another” if i should ever visit the AU practice field.
The proof is in the pudding?
“The proof is in the pudding, they say, and players agree that they love it, and keep coming back for more every time.”
Nitpick: The proverb is “The proof of the pudding is in the eating,” which . . .
oh, nevermind.
No, don't nevermind
otherwise the bastards win. Like George Carlin said, “FUCK POPULAR USAGE!!!!!”
"...when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to."
— Martin Luther
Like George Carlin said...
One popular usage that really gets my goat is somebody saying “that begs the question”, when what they really mean is " that raises the question" or “that begs for an answer to the question”. (This year’s budget deficit is half a trillion dollars. This begs the question, How are we ever going to balance the budget?")
To beg a question is the logical fallacy of arguing for a conclusion that has already been assumed in the premise.

What a beautiful blog this is...
Above we discuss word usage – Below “the Tossed Salad Man”
This IS the only way to stay relatively sane until the season starts.

Cheznick loves him some behind.
“Chizik” is Bosnian for “cornhole”.
