If you reading this consider yourself family and your dinner is served. The very large list is after the jump. And a huge thank you to everyone who contributed on such short notice! And don’t feel like you missed out. I’ll keep updating the post as I receive new ones, or just leave them in the comments.

- Go to hell Florida State for having one of the worst succession plans in place for living legend Bobby Bowden. And I hope you see the FSU administration there Gator Bowl.
- Terrelle Pryor’s poor decision making, inability to grasp one of the 10 most vanilla offenses in the game and requiring his coaches to dumb it down even further. Tim Tebow’s wet dreams. I’m tired of his 2 season long regression to the mean, him using his football abilities as some kind of propagation vehicle for his faith, and his 790 SAT scoring brain. BCS teams demanding *insert coordinator fired*, SEC sanctimony/napoleon complex, Cincinnati fans being miffed/surprised Kelly left/their impending return to junior BCS school status. Short sighted small sample size memes in football in general: SEC = fast, Big Ten = slow, Ohio State/Oklahoma = unclutch/unable to win the big game. Early looks at 2010 before the ‘09 Bowl Season is even over. And finally one ginormous turd at @insidethebcs, Ari Fletcher, the Fiesta Bowl’s incessant corruption, and everything that disgusting megopoly stands for. via @worstfan of Eleven Warriors

- When Rich Rodriguez was brought into Michigan, it was expected that the team would be in a transitional period and it would take time to assimilate to his offensive system. It was a given the 2008 team would be devastated due to the losses of Henne, Hart, and Long. When RichRod’s system scared away Ryan Mallet to Arkansas and they were left with no quarterback I was willing to accept the failure of one season. But now that the team has failed to make a bowl game for two straight seasons, it’s absolutely pathetic. Some are giving RichRod the benefit of the doubt saying that he didn’t “have talent”. I know recruiting numbers aren’t an exact science but let’s look at Michigan’s recruiting from 2005-08…
Year Scout Rivals 2008 6 10 2007 10 12 2006 T9 13 2005 2 6 Do those recruiting numbers look like they are the numbers of a team that’s gone just 8-16 and 3-13 in conference the past two seasons? RichRod you’ve got one year before people will cry genocide. You’ve snapped the bowl streak (which likely wouldn’t have been snapped if Mallet [29 tds to 7 ints this season] was the QB last season). You’ve coached a team to back to back losing seasons for the first time since the 50s. You have no excuses. Get it done or get the fuck out of dodge. via SimonOnSports
- Jim Weaver: I was watching the Army-Navy game and noticed that the Midshipmen chant “Stick it in, stick it in, stick it in” when Navy gets in the red zone. And we can’t? This is the United States Naval Academy. They have much stricter rules and much more important alumni than we do and yet they have no problem with the chant. You don’t see Jimmy Carter complaining about the chant and he was the goddamn President. Yet we can’t do it because it offended some local yokels with deep pocketbooks.
Frank Beamer: Look, I get why you’re so loyal. The University head honchos stuck with you after a disastrous 2-8-1 season in 1992 and you feel you owe it to your staff to show the same loyalty that allowed you to make Virginia Tech what it is today. I understand that and so does everyone else. But seriously, someone else needs to be calling plays. Stinespring does a nice job coordinating the offense so why not promote him to associate head coach and recruiting coordinator and find someone else to call these plays for us? In the end it would have only saved us against UNC and we still wouldn’t have won the ACC, but at least it would shut some people up about the goddamn offense. At this point I want Stinespring out of the OC role just so I don’t have to listen to these dumb motherfuckers yell “Derp! Derp! Derp!” every time anything bad happens while we have the ball.
Bud Foster: Even I know Josh Nesbitt isn’t going to fuck around with giving the ball to anyone else on 3rd or 4th and short. And I’ve never played football in my life.
Bryan Stinespring: Screen plays work best when thrown to a slot receiver who is not being manned-up at the line of scrimmage by an opposing defensive back. /cue”themoreyouknow”music
Tyrod Taylor: Please set your feet when you throw. Seriously, I always know when you’re getting ready to release the ball because right before you do you audition for America’s Best Dance Crew.
Ryan Williams: You broke every freshman running record Tech has. But would it kill you to not fucking fumble at our own 30 with two minutes left in a tie game? KTHXBAI.
Ed Wang: You no brock so werr, rineman. Good thing you no have to brock Jason Wolirds.
Jake Johnson: Jake smash! Jake annihilate! Jake kill! Jake watch tight end catch passes on third and seven all day!
Kam Chancellor: Hey! Didn’t you used to be Kam Chancellor? Let’s see how many night clubs in the 757 want you to promote their parties now, asshole. Cover someone.
Georgia Tech: Fuck you and fuck your gimmicky “Alllll the waaaaaaay turnt up” bullshit. This is the ACC. Only hardcore RAWK music like Enter Sandman is allowed to fire up the home crowd. But hey, at least you don’t pipe your band over the PA system while play is going on like those slapdicks at Boston College.
North Carolina: You lucky fucks.
france: Thanks for completely blowing the end of the season and failing to save Groh’s job, you nimrods. You couldn’t have beaten William and Mary or Southern Miss to at least make some shittastic bowl to keep him around for two more years?

Hahaha, I love it. We weren’t lucky on Thursday night CGB we were just damn good.
Ed Wang: You no brock so werr, rineman.
NICE
2cgb on Dec 23, 2009 at 9:13 pm:
I can’t take credit for the Ed Wang brilliance or North Carolina hate. That was all F4H. But seriously, fuck you guys.
3Tar Heel Mania on Dec 23, 2009 at 11:56 pm:
10/29/09 for you = 9/20/08 for us. Mike Paulus ran the offense for the second half, UNC fumbled twice inside their own 20, and Ron Cherry’s egomania was truly vintage. If anything, we’re even now.
Which brings me to my grievances:
1. Ron Cherry. If a Ugandan says his name three times fast, he will magically appear and charge him 15 yards for Beriberi.
2. The Cavaliers. I would rather return to being in a British colony than to see the Jeffersons win another football game against us. (Maybe we’re not so different after all, CGB.)
2a. Mike London. I am convinced that the only reason he was hired was to keep UNC’s GrohWelshian curse alive.
3. NC State. You save your best game for us. We get it. Now how about the other 11, huh?
4. T.J. Yates, who just threw interception on a screen play somewhere in Pittsboro.
5. John Shoop. The occasional pass play over 10 yards would be nice.

From the U perspective, a few grievances:
Jacory Harris: J-12 you made some nice plays this year and it is good to have a competent QB again. But do you realize you can throw the ball away right? You don’t have to lob meatballs down the field if everyone is covered and just hope one of your athletic receivers comes down with it. 17 picks, DO NOT WANT NEXT YEAR.
MSM and CFB fans: You realize that the documentary of the U was past tense right? Shannon may have been the bag man but that was 20 years ago when CFB as a whole was completely different. /Points you attention to Florida’s 27 arrests over past 3 years and 251 traffic violations.
Clemson: Seriously go fuck yourselves. We all know you have some good wins coupled in with horrible losses every year, thanks for picking that day in Miami to go off.
Miami special teams coach Joe Pannunzio: Nice decision kicking to Spiller, really nice job there. Ever heard of a squib kick? Oh that’s right you messed that up against F$U.
North Carolina: You guys just have our number what can I say. Guess that really isn’t a greivance.
Ohio State: Grats on another BCS bowl, so richly deserved. I hope you sent Terry Porter his annual gift/check.
USC: Our dynasty ‘83-’91 > than yours ‘03-now.
Florida: Put us on your schedule you bastards. I know it generates so much money playing the Citadel every year. It’s funny you guys would be rolling us for like 5 years straight if you hadn’t cut off the series.
Notre Dame: Speaking of scheduling, you guys back out of renewing our series with a home and home. Word to the wise, look at the history of Catholicism and dare to call us criminals.
The school’s administration: You all looked like a bunch of political pansies for blackballing the U and its makers. The documentary sheds light, again, on events that took place two decades ago. It is part of the school’s past for better or worse and gave national attention to the school so quit acting like you’re above it.
So who has the aluminum poll? I find tinsle distracting.
5cgb on Dec 24, 2009 at 11:49 am:
Because this post is devoid of any Notre Dame hate, enjoy taking a bath on your house Blubberfuck.
6vtbaz on Dec 24, 2009 at 3:53 pm:
CGB and I wandered around like Lewis and Clark looking to meet up with a buddy from college to tailgate after the UMD game; said he was in the red lot. This leads me to…
University of MD: brilliant move of naming all your tailgating lots red lot.
7fetch on Dec 25, 2009 at 2:44 am:
I only have one:
Fuck you Mark Mangino for being a fucking piece of shit and taking a team that should have won the Big 12 North and ran it straight into the fucking ground. Peace out, motherfucker. Have a heart attack and die while Turner Gill returns us to prominence.
fin.
8vtbaz on Dec 25, 2009 at 1:19 pm:
since when has kansas football ever been “prominent”?
9Jeremy on Dec 26, 2009 at 1:50 am:
Brian Kelly: you are a huge douche. You couldn’t wait until after the bowl game. really? and for Notre Dame?! really?

Where did you find this guy? He (she?) does realize that without Mallet that class would have been dogshit, right?
Also gone are :
Brandon Smith – 5 star
Boo Boo Cissoko – 5 star
Justin Boren – All Big Ten OG
In his first year RR had an OL who had a total combined 10 starts among them. RRs first year was a complete wash. It shouldn’t even count against him. Also Mallet had his transfer papers in before LLoyd even left so that point is invalid.
Simon On Sports should do some homework before trying to leave the kiddie table.
