VON MILLER LOSES A BET, STARTS HAIRSTYLE CRAZE

PrintName last year's national leader in sacks. QUICKLY MAN THERE'S NO TIME. You've likely cheated and gone to the hivemind of the web for the answer, which you should be surprised to find is Von Miller of Texas A&M. Miller claimed a total of 16 sacks last year as the hybrid end in the Aggies' defense, that most annoying and/or fun of positions depending on whether you are an offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator. He did get eight of those in the first three games against some cottony-soft competition, but eight down the stretch ain't bad, either.
Miller is back and will be more hybrid-y than ever before, meaning he likely won't equal last year's sack totals, but will instead play a more "diverse" role in the Aggies defense. "Diverse" is code for "will confuse the shit out of people," a them for Miller in 2010 beginning with his perplexing haircut.
Miller lost a bet to get the 'do, but may have stumbled onto the innovative and soon-to-be-huge "Reverse Fade" in the process. With the glasses and the beard, it's a bonafide look, dude. If Miller gets eight sacks in the first three games of 2010, he may be forced to wear it for the duration. (HT: Reader Clint and Von's Twitter feed.)

he reminds me
of a younger version of that tenured math teacher who doesn’t care that his glasses are out of style, he’s lost his hair, and forgot to shave.
but then again, the fact that he’s still in college, do those glasses make him a hipster?
He typically teaches Operational Methods and Vector/Complex Analysis at VT.

Is his chest hair about to reach his hairline; or did someone try to cut his throat with an old comb, wtf is up with that?!?

Different Interpretation of "More Diverse"
“We’ll be asking Miller to invent a better notation for calculus while defeating a couple hydras, since the rest of our D belongs by all rights in the Premature Deliveries ICU.”

It's the beard/mullet effect
that really sells it.

Problem Solved
Dan Beebe has announced that suitable donors from other Big 12 programs (not named Texas or Oklahoma) will donate their allotment of hair to Mr. Miller, as well as large-print copies (for the visually impaired) of their blocking schemes.
What I must know
is what bet he lost. Was it a foolish bet? Did he get screwed by a sure thing? I’m full of questions!
Sparty on. Gator done.
he had 17 sacks last season
and I don’t care who you are playing, if you have a three game stretch where you go 3-3-2 in sacks, that is phenomenal.
Miller also had 8 sacks in conference play, which invalidates the notion that he somehow padded his stats against poor competition.
