Apologies for nearly non-existent posting today: work and more work swamped us completely, and we’re just now seeing pinpoints of light in the darkness. We’ll have the following up tomorrow:
-Coaches’ bonuses you may not have known about.
-Our Joekickass (p)Review of the Las Vegas Bowl.
In the meantime, please accept the only thing we’ll get right on the site this week: our Mustache of the Day. In the holiday spirit, we present the author of our favorite Christmas album of all time, one of those “that guys” who you’ll recognize the instant he opens his mouth.
The Mustache of the Day: Leon Redbone.
His version of “Frosty the Snowman” features Dr. John, which means your BAC will bump up a few tenths just listening to it. Heavy machinery operation prohibited after viewing.
This isn’t Fulmer Cup points-eligible (the season hasn’t ended yet), but Hello Dolly is it something. Mississippi State juco recruit Jessie Bowman, defensive tackle, was charged with trespassing and simple assault relating to an incident in July. Bowman originally had the ugly prospect of a felony burglary charge on his record, but you know, the judge had just gotten out of yoga class, and the birds were singing, and everything just seemed, you know, ripe for positive energy, man. Bowman got that charge knocked down to trespassing.
Bowman spends this week in jail, serving a five day sentence in exchange for a plea. He will want to use his time wisely and research new legal representation in the meantime. His soon-to-be-former attorney works his PR magic; it’s so good it’ll melt your face off.
It’s unclear when and where Bowman, who gave a non-binding, oral commitment to MSU coaches last Thursday, would sign his letter of intent. Today is the first day junior college players can sign binding scholarship papers.
“He may just sign it in the jail right now, I don’t know,” Bowman’s attorney, Joe Fernald, said. “He doesn’t have to be anywhere (specific) to sign it.”
Jessie, we know a guy who’s a friggin’ legal genius. He works cheap, too, provided you know a trannie or two. (HT: Rebel84.)
Total genius: Jessie, you need Barry Zuckercorn.
