10.21 Morning Coffee: Potato Oles Edition

A Diora Baird type of day.
New Statis-Stix column coming your way around 10am. This week he talks about the Rose Bowl, UW football and the BCS.

Behold the power of Taco John's Potato Oles.

You can get charged for doing this? That's a shame.

Is Jay Leno stealing bits from Howard Stern? If he was, wouldn't his show be a hell of a lot funnier?

If this is true, I should be a lot smarter than I am.

Fat kid gets stuck in a skating bowl.

Worst movie accents ever on screen. (via Fark)

Your odd headline of the day.

Today's Must Read: WSJ - Is it time for the NFL ban domes?

The best carved pumpkins you'll see all year.


MLB umpiring went from bad to worse during last night's game between the Angels and Yankees. Some of these calls aren't even close.

According to Ahman Green, he's a Green Bay Packer again. I'd like to laugh at this, but really, can he be any worse than what we've got? Not sure if he still has his pimped out Nebraska car. If he signs and Wynn is sent to the IR. 2 out of the 3 Packers running backs will be from the University of Nebraska.

Perception is reality and that's why Bo Ryan lost out on Vander Blue. Also in the article by Tom Oates, it's Buzz Williams fault that Jerel McNeal, Wesley Matthews and Dominic James were not first round NBA draft picks. According to Michael Hunt, UW fans should be happy that Blue stayed in-state.

I stumbled across this on TV the other night. This is the best video I could find, check out the INT at the 2 minute mark.


Speaking of WIAC teams. The economy is so bad, to avoid travel costs WIAC teams will now play conference teams for non-conference games.

Michael Redd is overvalued as a fantasy basketball player. He's probably overvalued as a reality basketball player too.

The Bucks didn't fare too well in their final preseason road game.

It could get real ugly for Rick Pitino today at Madison Square Garden.

A list of every single college basketball game that will be on ESPN this season.

Steve Phillips, the horrible Mets GM and worse TV announcer, sucks at something even more - being a husband. He cheated on his wife with a 22 year old ESPN production assistant.

For fans of I'm Gonna Get You Sucka, there is a new spoof coming out called Black Dynamite, enjoy the trailer. Apparently it opens on Friday.

---What none from Michigan? Oh that's right, they only produce QB's.

The article from Oates is a joke. The lack of respect these guys give MU is amazing. First, why is it "Marquette and the University of Wisconsin"? Shouldn't it either be "Marquette and Wisconsin" or "Marquette University" and the "University of Wisconsin"? Marquette is a school, and a good one at that.

This morning on the drive in Lucas and Lepay said that it was tougher for Wisconsin and schools in the Big Ten to recruit because of the academic entrance requirements. Seriously? Here is a clip from an article on the NCAA & Academics....

"Many schools routinely used a special admissions process to admit athletes who did not meet the normal entrance requirements. More than half of scholarship athletes at the University of Georgia, the University of Wisconsin, Clemson University, UCLA, Rutgers University, Texas A&M University and Louisiana State University were special admits."

No list of Worst Movie Accents is complete without Dawson's butchering of his Southern accent in "Varsity Blues."

Golden Eagle - Great argument, but it must be pretty easy to get in Marquette University. I can prove it with two words......Dan Walsh.

Golden Eagle in Madtown you're dead right. Really - when it comes to athletics, no school is really that superior over another. All schools bend the rules for athletes and to think otherwise is shortsighted.

Rubie I had forgotten that line. I wish you hadn't reminded me of it.

Suck it Deacon.

Rubie Q - there is one that has to be added to any crap accent list, and that is the girl that goes out with Danny Noonan in Caddyshack. Worst fake accent ever. Classic lines like...

"I'm late for like not be'yin pregnant"

"That's ah-lll I need."

Every time I see that I want to choke that fake accent out of her.

She should also be brought up on charges of false advertising(stuffung her bra) and impersonating an 18 year old(I'm only 15) in her role in the highly acclaimed film Animal House, a movie which, like Caddyshack, was unjustly overlooked by the academy.

Thanks for the heads up on that 4 am Northern Colorado at Hawaii on ESPN November 17.  I might have missed that otherwise.

JG - You're right, of course.  There needs to be a movie with Dawson and the chick from "Caddyshack" that's set in the South.  The universe might collapse through the force of their combined Southern accents, but it'd be worth it.

We need to make this happen.  Call your people.  I'll call mine.

Ironically, from one of the greatest movies ever made, "Cool Hand Luke" comes one of the worst Southern accents of all-time speaking one of the greatest lines of all-time. www.youtube.com/watch

Why would they put Wynn on IR? Isn't Green coming to take Clifton's spot?
