Go Hokies!

Around the Interwebs

The Real Coach’s Wives of Auburn. Listen to the sassy wives of Tuberville’s assistant coaches talk about how horrible the Auburn brass handled the end of the Tuberville regime.

How is the ACC trying to avoid this from happening again?

Buy one get one free ticket deals of course.  Gobbler Country makes sense of why the Hokies won’t be showing up and Eagle in Atlanta begs the blimp to refrain from overhead stadium views.

Ball State vs. Boise State isn’t going to happen. Fuck.

“It’d be a fun game, no question about it, but not on their home field,” Hoke said. “That makes no sense to anybody, especially for us”

Translation: We don’t want to get our asses handed to us on the Smurf Turf.  And who can blame Hoke, Boise St is 64-2 at home over the past 10 years.

Steve Sarkisian will be the next head coach at Washington.  Mike Leach and Pat Hill withdrew their names from consideration and Jim Mora Jr. decided to stay with the Seahawks.  Is this a case of sloppy fourths?

Man tries to pay bill with spider drawing. A must read for all.

On My Way To Atlanta

I’m taking a blow from packin up the ole Bobby Humphrey mobile. It’s hard to get my wife tied down in the bed. She’s a struggler. In case you’re wonderin that’s my 1982 GMC C/K Half-ton pickup with custom crimson finish, yeah you know what that melba toast is packin. I wanted to get a quick post in before I head out east to watch Coach Nick Saban lead our men to victory against them Gators from Florida.

In case you didn’t know, GATORS WEAR JEAN SHORTS!  Look at those two fresh off the tree fruits in the background. Even us fine folk in Clover Hill, Alabama know jeans that end at the knee are what the French on E! call a faux pas. I can’t wait until the Tide rolls those overrated Okefenokee Swamp smelling frauds. Wow put a feather in yalls cap after beating Citadel by 51 points. We’de won by 102.  That’s twice better than you. Oh and guess what, we didn’t lose to no Mississippi neither.

Watching JPW’s golden arm throw bullets to Julio on rout to an SEC Championship Saturday will be a wet dream come true.

Roll Tide!

PS - Enjoy rebuilding next year Auburn.

Have you ever wanted to read an in depth, and we’re talking cavity search deep, explanation of how the BCS works and why it sucks so much? If you pressed one on your touch-tone phone check out this great post by Amphibious Sports Duo.

Tommy Tuberville who has the fine distinction of going 12-0 in the SEC and not getting a chance to play for National Championship resigned fired from Auburn yesterday.

Nick Saban is a little pissed off at all the SEC firings.

I really question some of the judgment relative to how it is for our game that people who have those kind of relationships and have done that kind of job and affected so many people in a positive way - and have had a reasonable amount of success relative to their circumstances - would not be given more respect and consideration than what these guys have been. So I guess we’re 5-7 away from the same thing.

Texas still has a chance to play for the National Championship. Expect an upheaval from Jort National if this scenario unfolds.

Washington has been in contact with Mike Leech. Look U-Dub if you want to seal the deal you will change your nickname from the Huskies to the Pirates.

The Hokies are back in Tampa playing for their second consecutive and third ACC Championship in five years. Life couldn’t be better right?  Sure its Wednesday and we are wallowing in our own crapulence, but if we lose on Saturday our season takes a huge jump into the shitter.  There is no backup plan, Clemson is going to face off against Nebraska in the Gator Bowl and Georgia Tech is going to the Chick-filet-A Bowl. It is either win the ACC and go to the Orange Bowl or lose and freeze our balls off in some meaningless bowl.

Drink On, State

James Sheep was pulled over on campus around 3:15 a.m. on Nov. 22, hours before Penn State’s 49-18 win over Michigan State, University Police Capt. Bill Moerschbacher said Monday. The officer who made the stop saw that the vehicle was overloaded, with passengers piled onto each other and blocking the driver’s view.

Every Monday Heather Dinich hosts an ACC chat and answers questions at ESPN.com.  This is her most perceptive and astute response.

Frank (Tallahassee): What is more likely - FSU playing Nebraska in the Gator Bowl or FSU playing Wisconsin in the Champs Sports Bowl? 

SportsNation Heather Dinich: The Chick-fil-A Bowl is interested in FSU too, you know.

It will be Oklahoma, not Texas, versus Missouri this Saturday for the Big 12 Championship.  Horns fans if you are pissed off just blame Mack Brown.

Brown has a vote in the Coaches’ Poll, one of two polls balanced against the BCS computer rankings to determine the overall BCS Standings. Instead of voting for his Longhorns as the nation’s No. 1 team, Brown picked someone else (we’re betting undefeated Alabama). Two voters picked Oklahoma No. 1. The result? The Sooners end up with a one vote edge in the Coaches’ Poll… and with an edge of less than two-tenths of a poll in the BCS Standings.

Dabo Swinney will be the next coach at Clemson.  In just six weeks his charisma alone has impressed me. I will go on the record as saying this will turn out to be a great hire. It also lowers Hokie Nation’s blood pressure levels, because it is looking good we will retain Bud Foster for another year.

Praise the College Football + Pantomime Gods for inspiring this video and EDSBS for finding it.

Is a Boise State, Ball State undefeateds wet dream Bowl possible? I hope so, that way once they lose Whitlock will shut up.

GameDay Signs - Stillwater, Oklahoma

Bedlam on the field, hilarity at GameDay. Here are the funniest signs from Oklahoma State versus Oklahoma.

The phrase “I’m Lou Holtz’d” will replace “cocked”, “smashed” and “hammered” in my lexicon.

Bradford is a fluffer. Wow that is dicked up. Continue Reading “GameDay Signs - Stillwater, Oklahoma” »

Week 14 BlogPoll

Nothing new to see here. My top 6 stays the same. Is it Championship Saturday yet?

Georgia Tech is the best team in the ACC right now and they aren’t going to Tampa.  I bet they feel like Virginia Tech in 2006.  But fear not Yellow Jackets for Paul Johnson has struck fear in the hearts of their enemies and no one wants to play GT in 2009.  Amazing win against Georgia today.

I like Ole Miss. A lot. They beat Florida, push Alabama to their limit and most importantly are playing excellent football in November.  Jevan Sneed is en fuego.

Ball State will never move above 25 in this poll, because they’ve played a laugher of a schedule.
