Christmas & an Orange Bowl Simulation...


It's a mere 8 days until Christmas & once again I would like to thank our Yellow Jacket football team. Never has Christmas been easier for me:

Hash: "Honey, I haven't bought you anything for Christmas yet, how about we just call our trip to the Orange Bowl Christmas for each other?"
Old Girl: "Sounds great, that's really what I want since I didn't get to go to Tampa!"
Hash: "Great! That's too easy, are you sure?"
Old Girl: "It's perfect, of course I'm sure! What could be a better gift?"

So I just got the "perfect" Christmas present for my wife without ever leaving the house, going to a dreaded mall, or worrying about sizes, colors, etc....Sweet nectar of life! This is only slightly better than buying her the "sports package" on the Dish the year after we bought her the flat screen TV:

Hash: "I know how much you like to watch your old movies dear..."
Old Girl: "Why do I need hi-def for my old movies? They're fine the way they are..."
Hash: "I'm just trying to be extra considerate this year..."

Now I just need to manage to leave Miami without a major felony on my record & I'm golden!

WE INTERRUPT THIS NORMALLY SCHEDULED BLOG TO BRING YOU A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Jacket has landed...I repeat, The Jacket has landed....

WE NOW RETURN TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG....
  • We'll have SEC refs for the Orange Bowl. Can't be any worse than ACC refs....
If you see this man, please escort him to the Orange Bowl as he has a game to work....
  • After your daily dose of The Barrel, we suggest you read The Macon Telegraph's coverage of the Jackets. It's light year's better than the AJC or any other fish wrapper. Coley Harvey does a fine job. Says a lot that a tiny paper in Macon does a lot better covering our team than the home town "giant".
  • Urban Meyer is bringing in some fine, upstanding young men to Florida this year. Follow the link to check out these playazzzz....BIG PIMPIN', YO!!! GAINESVILLE STYLE....ONLY A STAIGHT PLAYA FLASHES $16....BITCH!
  • Current Duke defensive coordinator & former Tech player Mike MacIntyre has been named head coach at San Jose St. Congrats...
  • The guys at Iowa blog BlackHeartGoldPants are really funny. And Tech fans have NO sense of humor. Lighten up, Judge Smails, it's a joke. And a really good one at that....Here is their scientific simulation of the game done on some super computer. We'll defy our Tech geekyness & go with good old fashioned gut instinct. We know statistics don't lie but neither do we....Here's our simulation of what's gonna happen in the Orange Bowl:
Please note the new wrinkle CPJ has added to the offense for the Orange Bowl. Josh Nesbitt will be disguised as a donkey. That right there is some backwood's North Carolina mountain stealth CPJ is employing. According to our sources we've been working hard on this in practice....
  • From the Rumble Seat has a nice post on Iowa football traditions as we head into the Orange Bowl. We like the pink locker room. It takes a certain manliness to be comfortable in there. We're also quite positive that a CPJ halftime talk could peel all the paint off said locker room rendering the Iowa psycho-bullshit completely ineffective. Luckily, we're not playing in Iowa. But what's with the "we drink more than any fans anywhere" comments? Are they seniors in high school? Must be an Iowa fraternity pledge project to comment on this kind of stuff. We're happy just gettin' our KRUNK on....
