In certain parts of Texas, dog worship was the de jure religion.

I guess that's not completely misinterpreting.

"The Men of Aggie would all join together, expelling themselves into ceremonial jars after hours of intense ritual. These were brought to the dog goddess as an offering. Afterwards they donned their ceremonial garb and spent hours squeezing each others spent testicles to frighten their foes."

The chief deity of the Alabamians was a mythohistorical figure named Bearbryant. Members of the labor class would frequently adorn their bodies with tattoos of his image to gain a portion of his magic.

The first Hot Take™ about Sark's drunk rant is out:

quote:

And the fact that the boosters cheered him doesn’t matter.

Coaches tell their players that phone cameras are everywhere, and the night has a thousand eyes, and they have about as much of a private life as an East German in the age of the Stasi.

So here’s a big-buck football coach, the guy to whom the parents have entrusted their young men, turning into Kid Rock.

And it is the reason that Sarkisian, at the very least, has to be suspended for the rest of the 2015 season.

quote:

Sarkisian wasn’t ambushed. He wasn’t sabotaged by a guerilla cameraman. He did not “make a mistake.” He made a series of willful mistakes that should earn him probation.

A long and strict series of steps, maybe 12 of them, should lie between Sarkisian and reinstatement. And, considering how difficult it will be for Sarkisian to enter a recruit’s living room, maybe he’s beyond redemption.

There isn't a :allears: emoticon big enough to describe me as I watch this dumb USC drama (hopefully) keep going.

Northwestern was even really competitive well into the fourth in that game. Then the wheels came off.

2013. When the wheels fell off in the fourth quarter of the OSU game, they stayed off.



e: here's the box score for that game, just because it's pretty rare that you can pinpoint the exact moment when a season goes to poo poo:
