Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

A RAMBLING WRECK GOES LOOKING FOR COMFORTABLE LADIES YOGA PANTS

Literallytheramblingwreck_medium

This delivery truck emblazoned with Georgia Tech ads went rambling through the window of a store in Buckhead on Monday in Atlanta. This really happened. If the obvious irony isn't obvious obvious enough for you obvious,  then enjoy the target of the charging truck-bull's rage: a lululemon store and fitness studio. LONELY GEEK TRUCK NEED WOMEN HELLO WOMEN---[crash] Not pictured: Paul Johnson, who clearly stepped in the path of the truck.

Hot damn but that's an exciting home schedule.

Both N.C. State and S.C. State? Where do I buy?

UVA, MTSU, & DUKE!!! We’ll be lucky to get Raycom down here to televise these beauties…..Stunningly, our season ticket sales are lagging behind last year’s pace.

What also sucks

Both of the “cupcakes” on that schedule are maneaters (maybe MTSU not so much, if their QB winds up prisonified). SC State’s an FCS national championship contender. If MTSU doesn’t lose their QB, they could beat half the SEC, and scare the crap out of the other half.

Fortunately, Paul Johnson says Tech looks “competitive,” which is Paul Johnson-speak for “Your defenders better stock up on lube.” So at least the home crowd will see a lot of long TD runs by the good guys.

It doesnt suck that our cupcakes are real teams

If you are going to schedule an FCS team, they should be from the top tier. App St or Nova or SC St. Not GEORGIA STATE IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF FOOTBALL. I stand behind that game being enough to disqualify Bama from any national title consideration this year.

Conference homers are the lowest form of fandom. That is why the SEC has so many of them.

AS marshmallowy soft and chewy as that home schedule looks

I can’t laugh at all. Ours has one FCS team, five teams who rank under the top third in FBS, two who rank between 25 and 40, and none in the Top 25.

"Half the SEC"

if you limit the SEC to Vanderbilt and one other school. The Blue Raiders are 0-17 against the other 11 schools in the conference. They are improving, but not yet a program that should beat good teams.

by GwinnettGamecock on Aug 24, 2010 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

Is there any chance this was intentional?

Like, an ex girlfriend worked at the place and the driver lost his mind?

Road schedule sucks

ASS. We play georgie, Virginia Tech, UNC, Clemson, and Kansas (noteworthy at least), all on the road. Home, the only game we shouldn’t win by 30 points is Miami, which (according to a 2008 game) will likely only be a 28 point win.

Well, Ole Miss was scheduled for that game

but they bought out the home-and-home. Tech had to fill the gap, and Kansas was available.

VIRAL MARKETING!

I’ve spent three minutes trying to figure out why in the world the truck ever needed to back up at such an angle to begin with.

Based on the facebook album

it looks like the truck must have been spinning along the side of the building, because it hit a couple of storefronts and the front of the truck is messed up.

That wasn't the Alumni Wreck

It was the real thing. The kids had to work like mad to get it restored in time to roll out at the beginning of the season. Cool thing about the Wreck is that it’s owned/operated by a student club, not by the athletic association. My alumni class donated enough for them to have a decent truck and trailer to haul it on now.

by Golden Hand on Aug 24, 2010 9:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

It's not that uncommon...

that the mascot is owned by someone other than the athletic association. Take your hated rival, for example: Uga is owned by a fan (Sonny Seiler).

I’d like to make a crack about this, but nothing I could say would top the visual. But I will say that is one of the softest home schedules I’ve ever seen (which kind of balances the road schedule).

by Bleeding Red, Black, and Bourbon on Aug 24, 2010 10:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

Everyone would love to balance out the schedule

Having uga, Clemson and VT all either home/road isnt good. Switching uga by playing one year neutral site in the Dome as the kickoff game would fix a lot, but it screws up their schedule in the same way.

Flipping VT would involve rescheduling at least 3 games in the Coastal, which needs to be done, but not sure if VT wants the flip. Flipping Clemson would take at least 4 games and would be an absolute mess schedule-wise.

I, for one, am simply amused that GT has to advertise their football program.

What schools dont advertise?

What he's saying is:

Most schools don’t advertise their football program to solicit ticket sales, especially in the south.

Maybe advertising is an ACC thing, I dunno. I’ve never seen an SEC football ad.

Meh. Maybe not in Georgia, but I've seen plenty in Kentucky and Tennessee (UT and Vandy)

Not to be a complete jerk, but...

A truck with the word “impact” on it that actually does impact with another object isn’t irony.

Irony: something humorous based on contradiction: something said or written that uses humor based on words suggesting the opposite of their literal meaning.

If the truck said “unhittable” and then hit another truck, that’s irony.

by Paterno Ave on Aug 24, 2010 12:12 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, that's why I never use "irony" or "ironic" in conversation ever.

I run the risk of having some left-brained word fetishist correct my usage.
