Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

WHO YA GOT: Boone vs. Zug

A great religious schism is developing. Who will be our god? Zug or Boone?

First, let's review pros/cons.

THE CHALLENGER, JEREMY BOONE!

Boone_medium

Pros:

  • Punted Anthony Morelli's face off.
  • Was our only offensive weapon against Iowa
  • Earned Big Ten Special Player of the Week accolades
  • Name lends easily to cheers by the crowd whenever he punts.
  • May or may not have highest average in Big Ten. I don't know because I'm too lazy to look up the stats.
  • Was not dominated by Amari Spievey.

Cons:

  • So far, has not celebrated great punts by standing on toes and fist pumping as dejected opposing players look on.

AND NOW, THE DEFENDING CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, THE SMASHER OF SONG GIRLS, THE MAN WITH A SWISS CITY NAMED AFTER HIM, THE MANHEIM MANEATER, Graham Zug!

 Maneater_medium_medium

Pros:

  • Voted for himself in a poll after the Wisconsin game.
  • Defeated J Leman. Think about that. He defeated J Leman. He let the world's greatest freedom fighter take an early lead, perhaps out of arrogance (but we cannot question the ways of the Zug people), then came back and crushed him into the dust. It was easy. What more can we ask of a being?

Cons:

  • Got his ass kicked by Amari Spievey. I mean, what was his final stat line? Zero catches, zero yards, and one picture of him on the sideline calling Juice Williams for emotional support?
  • The cult is pretty much stale.

FINAL VERDICT:

Boone wins. Zug has accomplished his task. He was sent to us to humble Black Heart Gold Pants - the fiendish Leman worshippers that they are. And that he did. By the way, he's also one of three Penn Staters (the others being Jamelle Cornley and, yes, Anthony Morelli) to defeat Iowa in a major sport (yes, an internet poll counts as a major sport and no, you shouldn't be questioning an insane person).

ALL HAIL BOOOOOOONNNNNNNE!

Jpzo_medium

Firstly: I only did this to see if I could piss off Dawson.

Secondly: If we keep scheduling cupcakes, I'm going to get more and more bored and you all know what that means. I have to do SOMETHING. Someone find an EIU blog for me to trash talk on. If not, then this post is just the beginning.

Sorry Rambler

I’m not going to get pissed off (maybe jokingly to defend the Supreme Overlord), as soon as I saw what you wrote in response to me saying “BSD religious schism” I knew exactly what was coming.

PUNTERS NAMED JEREMY U BABY!!!

I vote Boone.

If a certain QB #14 is the supposed anti-christ, then P#41 is the un-anti-christ, or regular christ if you will.

Think about it. He wears the inverse of beelzebub’s number, he punted his head off, sending him to the underworld of coaching HS QBs.

He is approximately 8.2 times better than Graham Zug. (41/5)

Bad news for you quasi blasphemous Zug supporters. Graham Zug was actually a mere representative of the high court of Boone. Jeremy Boone did not yet trust the BSD faithful, so he sent us Zug as to test our faith. Zug was an intentionally false prophet and all of you have massive repenting to do if you wish to waltz along the hang-time path of punterdom(Heaven).

Graham Zug was only a servant to the almighty Boone. He got his vaporization, Leman defeating and song girl impregnating abilities from the fruitful loins of P#41. He got a little too big for his britches and took the almighty Boone’s task too far, so his powers have been taken back and Jeremy Boone has put him in his rightful place.

Lucky for us Jeremy Boone is a loving and forgiving entity, so we still have a shot. You must repent for all of your false idol worshipping and acknowledge the one true BSD lord. Jeremy Boone.

Laura Nichols is merely the wife and seed-bearer of Jeremy Boone.

As a man (I’m 38!) who respects the values of a purist, the mores of Old School, and has no time for the fickle, I voted Zug. His ascension wasn’t that long ago.

Dark Horse contender Laura Nichols Breakdown

Pros:

1. There is a little bit of Laura Nichols in all of us. When she wins, you win.

2. Graciously brings us the news that we need to know.

3. Used BSD joke barely in an article.

4. Sounds hot.

Cons:

1. A being of which we know very little.

2. Does not directly contribute towards football wins on a weekly basis.

History will show

That no good can come from this divide, although i do think the eventual Crusades should be quite entertaining, and then of course the inappropriate epic film with Colin Farrell shouting from atop a sea of corpses “DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE DANNY?”

Because it's a Bowl Game!!
