the fuck you don't know anything about football. that was great. I totally buy everything, and double props for knifing your own team in the back.
Not to nitpick, but I knife both my undergrad AND my law school in the back...but anyways, much respek. Though I'm pretty sure I've used that The Streets line about football (soccer I guess) five or so times since I've heard "A Grand Don't Come For Free."
Ian, you need to spend less time working and more time blogging. Sure, your words will become meaningless and boring like mine, but even at your supposed worst, you're phenomenal. Great post, and a huge no homo.
Good post, save one thing: Chan Gailey is a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb man. Applesauce dumb. Putting bumpers on the bowling lanes dumb. SILICA GEL DO NOT EAT dumb. Other than that correction, blog on.
Though I'm fairly certain he lost out on recruiting Inquorous Johnson because he wouldn't be able to spell his first name, my point is that Chan will definitely realize Reggie Ball's no Joe Hamilton and turn him into an alley-oop machine, meaning that in the fall, the ATL will be a Calvinball kinda town. He's by far the best WR in Georgia right now...that includes you, Brian Finneran.
The funny thing about that post is that reading you "knife [your] law school" (and my alma mater) in the back hurt not nearly as much as reading your positive/optimistic words regarding "Georgia Teh."
Whatever...they still suck.
next.
The aforementioned statements in no way endorse Georgia Teh outside of their helmeted collection of non-Asians/nerds/fat chicks. But in reference to UVA/UGA, I'll direct you to this Simpsons nugget:
Prinicipal Skinner (yelling): THESE CHILDREN HAVE NO FUTURE!
(the kids in the lunchroom all turn around, and an awkward pause follows)
Principal Skinner: Prove me wrong, kids! Prove me wrong!
Answer to the Tee Martin Corollary - Ole Miss 2004.
Great call! There are certain words I've learned not to say around my friend who's an Ole Miss fan and "Spurlock" is definitely one of them.
I'm not sold on Iowa as a top five pick, either. Drew Tate had a hell of a year last year, but a lot of his passing yards were out of necessity . . . because the first SIX tailbacks on the depth chart went down with injuries. I'm not sure the Hawkeyes ran the ball once the rest of the season after the first quarter of the Minnesota game.
This is a team who's offense has been based on corn-fed lineman and the run for longer than we've been alive. That won't change this year. Don't look to see Tate putting up those numbers again. While I hate to say it, expect another 10-2 or 9-3 season from the Hawks.
As per Kippo's comment, to further contribute to this thread, you have to hate on any state you've ever lived in. Maybe Hal will come by and rag on Penn State just for kicks (read: he should, because what's making people believe in them other than the presumption that Joe Pa teams can't suck for four years running?)
I think Iowa tends to be at their best when they're lurking in the Big 10+1 shadows behind flawed UM and OSU teams, so it'll be interesting to see how they live up to heightened expectations. My opinion on this is that the conference is usually a war of attrition, so having UM, OSU and UI all at the top seems counterintuitive, especially since if no one catches Tate's bomb against LSU last year, I guarantee you the Hawkeyes are looking at the late teens in the preseason poll.
Chan Gailey was the bomb when he was the coach at Troy State. National champs! Now that they've dropped the state though ... rougher times are ahead.
Stick to the quasi-amusing comments on hip-hop and frozen foods.. you obviously know jack-shit about football.
As long as you keep quasi-reading them. I like the whole "back-handed compliment that proves you've read this blog for months" angle.
When you say: "he same one that really never put Georgia Southern or Marshall away, and got completely run out of the stadium by the SEC powers that be in the last two years."
Were you accidentally omitting the 49 points that we put on LSU during that seal clubbing in Athens last year? Or did you forget the 41 points we slung on UT in Knoxville in 2003? As for being run out of the stadium, the 2003 National Champs beat us on a miracle broken play in Baton Rouge in 2003.
Good points all...the LSU game seemed like a bit of an outlier last year when you consider the performances against USC and Arkansas. But in terms of "run out of the stadium," the LSU game I was referring to was the 2003 SEC Championship.
