Mid-Day Roundup: Carlesimo’s Firing Was Inevitable
College Football, NBA, NFL, Soccer, UFC, Video November 22nd. 2008, 1:45pm
Betty White would like to thank you for being a friend. At 78 years old, she’s still going strong. Try and admit you don’t think she’s still attractive. In other news, a student in Florida was arrested for farting. I’m not making that up. Yes, yes… people who fart get arrested, people who sell weed can go to jail and people who murder can get out on good behavior after a few years. Fun times.

That right there is my gripe with the campus legend mode on NCAA 09….if you’re on the football team of a big university, you easily have more than 4 options for night time plans, other than “go to the library, hit the gym, visit the trainer, study your playbook”. You should have more choices “party with sorrority sluts, rob dat fool wif da big TV, etc., and consequences too.

Betty White never did it for me. Rue McClanahan however, is a different story …

Also known as “Ryan Perrilloux Mode.”
I haven’t not looked forward to an important LSU SEC game this much since probably Gerry DiNardo’s last year or Nick Saban’s first year.

Rue McClanahan however
I’ve seen a few episodes of “The Golden Girls.” Man, she would fuck just about anything. And considering her market was 84-year-old guys, I mean anything.

I agree Jay. I just want this year to end and we can all forget that Jarrett Lee ever existed…

What about “break in the house and watch her sleep”

I just don’t understand how this Wild Hog/Wild Rebel shit works. Everybody in the stadium knows it’s coming. Everyone watching TV knows it’s coming. How come the defense doesn’t know?

Jay, wanted to catch up with you about your comment that teams should be ranked based on what they did. That also sounds good on paper, but it’s not always how voters react (and they’ve never been instructed to vote in the matter that you espoused – whether they should or not is another question). In 2006, OSU and Michigan had accomplished the most in the regular season and most pundits thought they were the two best teams in the country. They voted not by the regular season, but by who they wanted in a title game.

cursedcleveland, I still respectfully disagree. I realize that many voters still vote on that “best team” mentality, and it’s arrogant and elitist. There are some voters who would still put USC in the top ten, even if they were 8-4. That is a slap in the face to me. And, by the way, I thought the voters got it right when they picked Florida over Michigan, and I think the result showed it. Florida was the one-loss team from the best conference that year, and I don’t think Michigan deserved a second chance. Of course we’re both biased in opposite directions probably.
One thing we can all agree on: Jarrett Lee is still shit, but LSU’s pass defense is even worse.

And Jarrett Lee goes down! The crowd goes wild!
/not really on the second part–we hope he’s okay, just not okay enough to come back in

This is the most hyperbolic thing I have ever read.
November 22nd, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I believe it. I really do. “Because we all knew that they have the best talent in the country, even if they don’t show it every week. If they got to play in an 8-team playoff, they’d still win it. I guarantee it.”
Don’t tell me you couldn’t hear somebody from ESPN saying this.

Not true at all. Florida had played the tougher schedule, had played and beaten more bowl bound teams, and won their conference. Michigan had a great season, but had their shot and their overall resume was lacking. The fact that the voters actually stepped back before the final poll and weighed the two teams on the basis of their seasons was immensely satisfying because it showed that they decided to put the team that most deserved the title shot first, instead of just leaving the polls as they were.

Maybe. But if they had lost 4 games? I don’t know. I think that would be enough for people to recognize that they were down a bit.

At least the LSU offense finally learned how to tackle.
