Success With Hyperlinking: Sponsored By Hard Work, Family Values and Corn

PrintHow about the Big Ten leaves anything requiring creativity to someone else. The Cy-Hawk trophy got a makeover and surprise surprise, it doesn't make any sense. I can guarantee that Jim Delany is behind this, because a football rivalry trophy featuring a family chatting over a basket of corn is the most Jim Delany thing since, well, a few weeks ago.
Speaking of Jim Delany. According to Ole Jimmy, the Big Ten is not looking to expand any further at this point. However, you can bet your britches that if he really thinks the much talked about SUPERCONFERENCEARMAGEDDON is about to go down, he'll be hustling to get some of the better options into the fold before other conferences can do so.
RELEVANT. Taiwanese animation of newsworthy events is one of those things that make life so great. The latest piece of gold from the Far East takes on the Miami scandal. If you don't think this is funny, you're the one with the problem, not the rest of us.
Eek. I saw that Rambler put up a fanshot of this over the weekend, but I wanted to make sure everyone saw this. Georgia's wearing some fancy Pro-Combat uniforms for the opener against Boise State, and they're, umm, different. I'm not against going with crazy uniforms sometimes, but I just don't understand this. I'm guessing Nike didn't think about how upset this guy is going to be about this. For more photos of the uniforms, go here.
Mr. Popular. Peezy had his Pro Day over the weekend, and a lot of team are at least taking a look at him. I'm not sure anyone will pick him now due to his suspension, but who knows. There are a lot of dumb people that run NFL franchises. #billsfan #sadtromboneforever
This may sting a little, LSU. Several LSU starters, including QB Jordan Jefferson, were involved in a bar brawl in Baton Rouge on Friday. Nobody's been charged with anything yet, but the players will be having a chat with Baton Rouge police today. If reports are true that Jefferson was kicking a Marine in the head, then he should probably go ahead and take a seat for a while. A long long while.
This doesn't quite have the panache of the Miami-Ohio State game, but it ain't bad. Oregon, LSU's opponent in the season opener, are looking like they're going to lose RB Lache Seastrunk to a transfer. If you recall, Oregon allegedly paid Will Lyles $25,000 in order to "persuade" Seastrunk to go to Eugene, so it would be pretty chill if he left A) without ever playing a down for the Ducks, and B) with the program potentially receiving sanctions down the line as a result of him.

As do I.
I expected much worse, given the outcry. I like Ohio State’s, too.

I think they look terrible
And its not cause of the whole tradition angle either, I think they are just displeasing to the eye. Mostly because of that helmet. OSU’s were bad too. In fact, I’ve found most of those Pro Combat uni’s pretty bad. It’s like who ever designs it starts off ok, and then just keeps adding crap until it looks terrible, all because they think they’re being creative. Like VT’s last year. Those looked alright until you got them up close and there was a bunch of crap inside the numbers and other goofy stuff.

I like the numbers on OSU's version.
I’m still not even sure why.
The big red stripe on Georgia’s helmets is dumb. Other than that, I have no real omplaints.

I like the description from the Nike website:
“The red and black represents their ruthless style of play…”
“The Dawgs will unveil the power, pride and ferocity of their new unis this Labor Day weekend…”
Trying a little too hard there, I think.
Word on the street is you're a jerk, Mitchell.
Red and black?
Wasn’t there a german political party, also renowned for it’s ruthlessness, that adopted the same colors?

They're far from the worst Pro Combat uniforms
But the helmet stripe drives me insane.

I actually liked everything about them...
Even that big red stripe. I thought it looked pretty cool. Well, that tribal shit on the compression gear is pretty gay. But other than that, I think the only minor gripe I’d have is that the Jerseys could use a little something to break up the red, even just a little piping along the text and numbers.
Scratch that, they already have it.
I was thinking about the shoulderpads. Looks a little bland. Idk.
You couldn't come up with any other description for your derogatory intent
Than ‘gay?’

I'm going to get yelled at for this
but I can’t hate it when ‘gay’ is still used as a way of saying something is bad or really sucks.
You have boundless curse words at your disposal, USE THEM.

dammit, major typo, should be "but I hate it when"
definitely makes me sound like I’m supporting it’s usage

That Cy-Hawk trophy...
…makes the Land Grant trophy look like the Stanley Cup.

The only thing
that could make the Land Grant trophy look better would be a shredder.

UGA uniforms....
Look like some form of generic sci fi security guard uniforms.

Could have been a rendition of this!!

Yeah, this game was taken down over the weekend, and last I heard UO was -2.5
That may have already shifted.

I mentioned this on the FanShot that nobody reads. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Steelers bid on Pryor. I would hope no higher than a 4th or 5th. I am probably cmpletely wrong, but, here is my reasoning:
1). At a 4th or below, they could sign him pretty cheaply.
2). TheSteelers have had good luck with QB’s becoming wide outs….Hines Ward and Antwaan Randle El come to mind.
3). Since he is already behind the eight ball for this year’s NFL season and with 5 additional games to sit out, probably the best he could hope for is a practice squad assignment. Again, lowering the financial investment in him. So, I’d tell him to watch everything that Hines and the other wide outs do….. running patterns and BLOCKING!
4). Steelers have a pretty good history of drafting tOSU players and having them perform (unless you go back to Bob Ferguson!).
5). They have pretty good record of dealing with guys whose heads aren’t completely on straight…Big Ben, Jeff Reed, James Harrison, Rashad Mendenhall, and others. I think they were pretty strong players on taking a shot with Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress when they returned.
6). They have enough veteran leadership and coaching that might (??) be able to keep TP in line.
7). He’d be playing in his “home town”. He could live at home with Mommy! Really help her out financially.
8). He’s a “hell” of an athlete, supposedly ran a 4.41 at his pro-day and actually threw it better than people thought.
Just my weird thoughts. The Steelers are pretty shrewd. Guess we’ll find out about 1:00 this afternoon.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
There's a discussion of this very idea
going on at Behind The Steel Curtain.
By-the-by, when listing Steelers with deviate tendencies, never forget Earnie “Fats” Holmes. Not too many guys can engage in a running gun battle with police, which as a bonus includes firing on helicopters from an ersatz sniper’s nest, and be still be on the roster and ready to go for the season..

Was that supposed to be OSU in the electric chair?
And I’m not opposed to the UGA unis at all. The Pro Combat uniforms are usually pretty terrible, but these aren’t bad. I’m surprised they didn’t put anything in the numbers to honor the school’s roots (such as the numbers and Xs/Os in VT’s last year…barf). Maybe they’re learning.
