Goodbye to a legend

News today from Athens, Ga of Larry Munson’s immediate retiring.  Munson was a legend in college football and will be missed all over Dawgdom.  The 85 year old has been calling only home games since last year but health problems must have gotten worse.  I can think of nobody (save cousin Ken) that would rather be there than Munson for a home game against unbeaten Alabama. 

Already miss him.  <– Click link for some greatness.

You are correct, Sir! I mean… Bean.

Ick’s pick ‘em contest is on!  Please go to www.GodIsASoonerFan.com (link) to join the fun!

 

How many Ick’s does it take to get to the center of football pick ‘em greatness

Girl, you know it

Zero.  I am it.  As you may recall I’m sort of a big deal when it comes to picking college football games. (link)  Please see the above picture of 2006’s award ceremony with Rob (Milli) and Fab (Vanilli impersonator Eugene Preston) moments before they awarded me the college football pick ‘em award.  This year, Ick of Ickscorner is inviting the Bug to his football pick ‘em extravaganza.  This is likely to be OU / Texas 2003 all over again.  See you in the winner’s circle.

RIP UGA VI

Johnny come lately, there’s a new blog in town

Thank you,

Bloggington J. Blogenstein III, friend of the Bean

two and a half hours with 5 and no college football mentioned?!

Met 5 for lunch then across the way to Starbucks for some coffee and conversation. Snapped this pic of the fireplace while 5 hit the bathroom. The following is the list of categories on this blog. I’ve scratched through the ones we didn’t hit on. Great day!  *Bold type indicates when we spent the most time.  (not listed story of me almost killing myself with a gasoline fire in my backyard from the day before)

General bitching (kind of)

• Please stop with the Jim Romeism.  I just had a conversation with a friend at work where he complained about “hockey fan”.  My brother used “Vol fan thinks that…” last weekend.  *(Points added right back for making fun of UT fans though)  Local sports radio uses this stupid phrase, line, word all the time.  This coyote has fallen off of the cliff while chasing the roadrunner.  Enough already! 
• Bob Knight was fired from IU after a few decades of winning, a perfect season, National Championships, and a stellar graduation rate.  Two coaches later, they are no longer Indiana Basketball. (link)  Oh, and the man that fired Knight?  He’s now busy making sure no Indians are offended by 100 year old college mascots, Oklahoma and Ohio State are always ready to lose big BSC games, and women’s rowing teams have their sandwiches cut diagonally on long road trips since there are just too many money making men’s sports out there.
• The NFL is bulletproof, Roger Goodell is a genius, and the Big 10 is still over-rated.  Bill Belichick tapes game time play signals, pregame warm-ups, practices, his neighbors cookouts, local theatre, and whatever else he wants, Goodell has the tapes destroyed, and is called to Capital Hill to splain himself.  This splaining will be to Senator Arlen Spector.  Oh, again, this splaining will be to Senator Arlen Spector while the three ring circus pulls up to town at the same hour in the form of the Clemens hearing.  So, Goodell looks at his schedule and decided Feb 13 would be a good day to meet with Pennsylvania’s answer to Grandpa Simpson.  Oh, and the Big 10 is always over-rated.  You can never say that enough.     

I’ve got to go.  Going to get some coffee before me and Redwing fan go to our sales team’s meeting. 

Let’s set the record straight

   

“5″ taught me me to love the game.  Me and Train know how to pick bowl games.  TheFullBug has 2 in a row and is 3-2 overall!  How’s the professor, “5″ doing? 0-5.  The Chicago Cubs of picking college bowl games lives with my sister-in-law.  Maybe next year.  Ha ha ha ha ha hee hee (cough) hee hee hmmmm
