It was Bye Week for the two juggernauts in our little mini-universe “around here”. I hear there was excitement elsewhere but who cares about backwater where’sitzits like College Station, Austin. ….. WARNING: This column is A HUMDINGER!
The biggest off-field story this week has been Sports Illustrated’s “expose” on Oklahoma State. This is a 5-part series detailing pretty much all-you-can-imagine buffet of crap one associates with a “Desperate To WIN” college football program.
They are doomed to be George Harrison or the 3rd Manning Brother or any of Robin Hood’s Merry Men not named “Little John”. They don’t like that. But they know that. West of I-95 they are derided and poo-poohed by their fellow UNC System “snobs”. But Downeast they RULE!
I did the Triangle Two-Game Saturday – Amid The Lofty Pines o’ Kenan @ 12:30 then The Carter @ The Fairgrounds at 6:30. I had a very fine time all day long. As Charles Dickens’ said “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,….
Am I not the luckiest Internet Legend there’s ever been. First Coach Dave’s lash-out (?); and now Greg & JennTheTutor save me AGAIN from having to write about JohnnyThePunk. At this rate, maybe I’ll never have to….. Yippee.
.
America’s Punk successfully hijacked Week One of Color & Pageantry 2013. I didn’t feel like joining the chorus on that. …… NC State’s Coach Dave sensed my plight and has come to my aid.
Lucy just jerked the football away from Charlie Brown. What itty bitty shread of integrity left in Big Time College Sports just went SPLATT! The Eddie Haskell of College Football gets a 30-minute time-out….. and “The Good Sports” Are BACKKKKK.
The 2013 College Football Season is Here! Or, as ESPN has unofficially titled it – Johnny Manziel / Jadeveon Clowney / SEC & The Whozits. There is no sport that is so much fun to follow….. in my opinion….. that offers so much COLOR & PAGEANTRY …..
As so often seems to happen these days….. “sports” and society partner in an ongoing bizarre kabuki dance. BobLee and AgentPierce combine their traditional observational perspectives to bring an itty bitty iota of clarity to the muck.
Howdaheck can a guy keep up with the WNBA, LPGA, Danica’s love life and Riley not to mention PJ, Shadrach etc if our sports news is reduced to a Hobson’s Choice – A-Rod or Johnny Manziel. That’s it – A-Rod or Manziel. Jeeezzzz.
So this dumb ol’ white boy with a ponytail chugs too many brewskis at a Kenny Chesney concert. The DOWBWAPt has a mini-fracas with a rent-a-cop coincidentally the ONLY AfAm within six blocks. Drunk White Boy throws out the N-word….. and
If The Answer is – Little Moron, Polak and PJ; then The Question must be Name three common synonyms for Stoopid? I do love endlessly meandering sagas of human foolishness – But even I am running out of zingers to describe Young Master PJ.
The latest buzzword in Big Time College Sports (BTCS) is “Division 4”. “Division 4” wasn’t even a term three weeks ago, and it will surely be replaced very soon with a catchier phrase. Like it or not….. The Gang of Five is coming to a big screen TV near you. …….
Back from a short self-imposed hiatus. I was beating too many dead horses and if I’m bored, I figure most of you might be too. Sure there are numerous unresolved issues and there always will be….. such is The Cycle of Life.
“Every ill wind blows someones’ sails” is, like most old sayings, truer more often than not. The Great Unpleasantness, like Duke Lacrosse six years ago, has made my job here almost too easy. Human Foolishness on Steroids has become a constant circa 2013.
