PRESS CONFERENCE EXCERPT: GARY PINKEL
Reporter: “Any further questions: what do you expect to see from the Sooners in terms of game management and strategy on Saturday?”
Pinkel: “I’m gonna just be frank with you. I expect them to put sixty points worth of ungreased football schlong right into our outflow pipe, frankly. Take that down: I expect them to sodomize us with an excellence unseen since Halston took on three members of the French Men’s Rugby Squad in 1980 in the VIP at Club 54. We’re going to be rammed from the aftside by a battleship that, frankly, will likely split our humble clipper ship in two. We’re Edward Norton in the shower in American History X, and we know what’s coming. It doesn’t mean we like it, but in life, sometimes you’re the plunger, and sometimes you’re the toilet begging for a mercy flush.
So, in return what I expect is a quality reacharound. Not a half-assed flubbing of the old Atari Boystick, no, what I want in return for taking the biggest Barbary Pirate Handshake since Joel Klatt watched his brain fly out of his nose is a quality courtesy butter-churning from the man in return. Let us get some points back in the third and fourth. Make sure Chase has at least one eyeball when the game is over. Take out Demarco Murray when they’re up by thirty. The little things.
If you’re going to flesh-kebab someone, you might as well give the courtesy of rubbing their meat before applying the heat. That’s all I’m saying, and you can quote me on that. We’re not looking for a pastor’s handshake here. I want my team to feel the concerned but firm grip of a closeted plumber on holiday in a Miami bathhouse, dammit. It’s the least they can do after what will probably happen to us on Saturday.
Any other questions? What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Beautiful and disturbing at once. As an OU fan, I’m chronically wary of overconfidence at this point, but you’ve broken down my walls with this one, Mr. Swindle. Well done.

Google Barbary Pirate Handshake and your number one return? This article… Orson, thanks for this and all of your past and future entries into the internet buzz phrase lexicon.

@5:
You’re right. Kansas will have put up a better effort against OU (45-31) than what QB Mr. “I’m From Southlake Carroll Worship Me You Poor, Worthless Peasants” and company will trot out on Saturday.

I hear that Gary Pinkel’s soon-to-be-jettisoned TRUCK NUTZ will be sold on the Oklahoma City black market for less than what a bag of marijuana costs these days*

Is anyone else seeing the Muscular Distrophy Association ad at the bottom of the post about helping Jerry’s Kids? Does anyone else think Orson’s ad widget is trying to tell us something about the Missouri Tigers?

You should really find a way to make this post play the opening music to “2001″ or something, so epic was every last word. I applaud you, sir.
