Boosters of the Virginia Technical Institute Football Program are rushing to put together enough funds to mitigate the effects of a new "Fines for Flags" program put together by their Special Teams Coach/Head Coach Frank Beamer. Beamer intends to fine $100 dollars from a player's bowl-stipend for every personal foul they draw. Beamer also intends to make the players run a 100 yard sprint for every yard of penalties for which that player is penalized. The VaTech Boosters have not released any ...
…make it Suntory time.
BGS just reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies, so they get a plug here. After all, one of HLS's top maxims is: Any reference that reminds you of a movie that made you laugh a lot that in turn reminds you of Scarlett Johansson is a great reference. So well done there, BGS. Further, I'd like to pitch in and say that the video BGS links to really is the best press conference Charlie gave during the entire fall camp. The anticipation for Saturday night comes ...
2006 Her Loyal Sons Expert Picks: Week 1
If you wanna know the rules, they're here. First, The Game: #2 Notre Dame at Georgia Tech. The Uber-hyped Fighting Irish of Notre Dame bring Offensive Fireworks, a speedier defense (we hope), and Catholicism upon Hotlanta. The line for this game has steadily shrunk from ND as heavy favorite to barely giving the Technical College Kids 3 points. Next, The Other Big Game: #11 Florida State at #12 Miami Almost guaranteed to provide several missed field goals by FSU, Miami, or both. ...
The Herbies Are Here!
Kirk Herbstreit, regarded by many within the NDNation global movement community as the only ESPN College Football Analyst who is not a muppet on crack, has awarded his 6th Annual Herbie Awards. In doing so he's revealed an already assumed man-crush on Brady Quinn, provided further evidence about our suspicions in regard to the big smile he has on his face whenever he's in SEC country, and placed himself right in the shotgun position for our soon-to-be formed Travis Thomas Ass Kicking Band ...
The Shark for Heisman
Showing what's possible when seemingly impossible physical abilty, genius play-calling, national media attention, angry music, and a really, really big TiVo hard drive come together, the folks at Dietler.net present the first installment of the Grass Roots Campaign for The Shark for Heisman: [youtube]SK1H-DuFERo[/youtube] Click Here If You Can't See the Vid. Man, those defensive backfields must've really sucked. Yeah. All of them. Bonus Points for making Ty Willingham sounds like a ...
Simply, Lou Was Awesome
ndolttown wowed me and other folks at NDNation with his latest post, and I'm saving the content here for posterity. Summary: Lou Holtz OWNED College Football: Thesis: From 1987 to 1993 Lou Holtz won more big games than any coach in history in a similar period of time and more big games than many of the top coaches in history ever did. It is a remarkable and, I would guess, unequalled record of victories over top competition in the history of CFB. In that seven-year period, Holtz beat ...
Trojan Given Most Appropriate Nickname Ever
The fellas at Trojan Wire pointed out USC's Lawrence Jackson was featured on the regional cover of ESPN: The Magazizzy. What made me chuckle was the choice of nickname: "Lo Jack". As USC quickly takes its place among the upper echelon of easy blogging fodder, we eagerly await more Nick Name Fun. Where The Grillz At? ...
2006 Freshmen Will Not Win American Idol
Can't Help ND Win a MNC The rookie sqaud of the University of Notre Dame's 2006 inevitable champions Football Team apparently can't carry a tune. Charlie says he'll have the group lead the rest of the team in singing the "Fight Song", whatever that is, in the near future. In reading the article, it would seem the eventual goal is to get the rookies comfortable with singing the Victory March. Perhaps this is another one of those clever messages Charlie likes to send the team by referring to ...
Uber Geeks of GT getting Nervous. Redirect Ernesto to Delay Game.
About 30 Uber Geeks at Georgia Tech Preparatory School got really nervous about the impending doom of the approaching Notre Dame match and employed 40 million industrial fans deployed along the Gulf Coast to force Hurricane Ernesto into a hard Northerly turn to the right, towards Atlanta, GA. Being really good at math and physics, but really sucky at reading comprehension, Joe Buck Pelthammer, a senior at Georgia Tech and leader of this "Environmental Redirection Project" said, "We all heard ...
