Blogtoberfest! Because suddenly, on July 11th, people are interested in college football.
Pete Carroll responded to Les Miles Schembechler-esque rant against the Big 12 and USC last week in typically beatific fashion, deflecting the criticism of USC by suggesting that it was not USC he skewered, but the blameless innocents they play:
He's really taking a shot at all the other schools we play. Maybe the comments should come from the coaches at the other schools, including Charlie (Weis) at Notre Dame. He didn't slam us. He slammed all the other schools we play, all those beautiful angel schools.
You didn't hurt me. You hurt Charlie. I'll just let you think about that, Les.
Pete Carroll did not use the phrase "beautiful angel schools," but in a perfect world he would have.
Pyle of List wades into the scum-encrusted waters of the conference debate with a tale of falling into the hoary SEC/PAC-10 debate with a less-than-reputable conference representative in a bar: a Vanderbilt fan, presumably talking with a gin rickey in hand from atop his sedan chair whilst adjusting his fine top hat all the while.
The beloved and half-assed regional SEC and ACC broadcast partner Lincoln Financial Network, formerly Jefferson Pilot, continues its curious policy of only hiring people named Dave to broadcast the third-tier SEC games it carries. Dave Rowe is gone for mysterious reasons, replaced by former Atlanta Falcons qb and 790 AM personality Dave Archer, who will broadcast the games with Dave Baker and Dave Neal. In summary: LFSEC=(DAVE+DAVE+DAVE--DAVE+DAVE)
Sooners' NCAA decision concerning the Rhett Bomar illegal benefits case comes out today following a 3:00 p.m. EST conference call between Paul Dee, Miami AD and Rules Committee Chair, and the NCAA. We're bribing NCAA officials with sums of up to TENS OF DOLLARS to get any and all info we can as soon as it happens. This being Oklahoma and not San Jose State, we expect light slappage and no more.
Ragin' Cajun deserves hat tips for sending us this story detailing the sprained cerebrum outbreak at Southern University, whose illegal supplement list must include lead-enriched protein shakes: seven players have been declared academically ineligible in the last seven months, which along with two life crisis cases who left the team means the roster's lost nine players since the new year outside of the normal graduation attrition.
It took Kevin and us exactly three seconds to figure out what the best use of this was: a $1,300 Pudding Bowl for tailgates.
Awwwwwww yeahhhhhhhh: $1,300 worth of pudding.
