The Friday Five.....

Maybe more like six as we feel compelled to share our inner thoughts this beautiful Friday morning. Only one hundred & fifty or so days until toe meets leather:

• Want to watch Frank Beamer freak out? There's another school that practices cut blocking! The insanity. Those dirty bastards all the way up in Corvallis have also gone over to the dark side & are employing the cut block. They even practice it! Yes, those are 300 pound men practicing diving at people's knees. Frank Beamer's world is going to hell. And somewhere Kam Chancellor just soiled his britches.....(h/t Doc Saturday)

Video: Block and roll

• Need some musical comedy to get the weekend started in proper fashion? Grab a blender drink, head to the porch, & listen to this little island ditty. A new & improved Dabo song! I guess Clemson has "reclaimed" the song that was being used against them. Luckily I have the sense of humor of a 13 year old & find both versions amusing. This will certainly strike fear into the hearts of opponents......
• Florida & Corch Urban Meyer have a new motto for the 2010 football season: "No stealing, no drugs, no weapons". What a friggin' wet blanket that Meyer is. Buzz Kill! Jesus, what the hell are these young bucks supposed to do down in Gainesville? I suppose they also have to wear seatbelts now? Well, at least he didn't rule out domestic violence & alcohol related crimes. It is an impressive feat to pass out cold at at traffic light at 3:30am. Kudos to Mr. Dunlap. That sabbatical really made Urban a stick in the mud. (And no, "Corch" is not a typo. Listen to the man speak. Per EDSBS, that is how one refers to Meyer.....)
• Romeo, this one's for you: Penn State kicker Anthony Fera was so desperate to fit in & be thought of as a football player that he went out & got himself arrested. For underage purchase/possession of alcohol. Fine work & we admire him for his team-oriented focus & desire to get blasted. But CRUZAN MANGO RUM? Really? Mango Rum? Oh, those hearty & manly Penn State fellows & their Mango Rum! Get pinched for buying PBR - cool. Slapped in cuffs for buying Thunderbird- fine. Go uptown & buy some Gordon's gin, big fella. Mango rum.....Damn lucky it's a misdemeanor cause we can only imagine what happens to people that drink mango rum when they spend a night in jail......

Somewhere in the Good Book it says "Drink Mango Rum, sleep with giant Chicken...." Or maybe that's a Chinese proverb....

• Lastly, something not at all football related. We watch very little TV, other than sports. Belay that. We watch a lot of TV however it's only sports. Better. However, if we do watch TV we like it to be of the highest quality. No surprise as you have doubtlessly gathered I am a man of discriminating tastes. So we have long believed that David Simon's "The Wire" is the greatest show to ever hit the airwaves. Period, end of discussion. Simply the finest television ever made (followed closely by Deadwood, FWIW). So we're anxious for Sunday night when Simon's latest masterpiece "Treme" debuts on HBO. Here's a brief review. Now we have to find someone who has HBO & will let us crash their pad at 10 on Sunday night......
