Rebs to host Gardner-Webb... Wow.

The oh-so-wackily elusive 12th opponent on our 2009 football schedule will almost certainly be Gardner-Webb. Who/What exactly is Gardner-Webb? They're a Division II school from Boiling Springs, North Carolina. Their athletic teams are the Runnin' Bulldogs which is a creative stupid twist on the all too popular canine mascot.



Run, Bulldog, Run!

This is, of course, a damned embarrassment. We shouldn't ever play two Division II (do NOT comment with the whole "omg it's FCS now u dumb@$$lmao" bit) teams in one season. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. The blame for this can be placed at the feet of two groups:

  1. Our athletics administration (who's shocked by this one?). This should have been taken care of months, if not years ago.
  2. TCU, UVA, Indiana, and other puss-ass schools who didn't want to schedule the Rebels despite having similar open-dates and scheduling issues. I'm especially tiffed with you, Horned Frogs, with your whole "BCS Buster" persona. If you want to "bust" the BCS you should schedule a team that's worth a damn. Some "people" may scoff at this notion, but those teams were simply viewing a matchup with the Rebs as a probable loss and didn't want that on their schedule.
Anyway, the game is slated for September 12 and should see Nathan Stanley completing a touchdown pass to a wide open Richie Contartesi at least twice.

I'm sorry. This is ridiculous. Boone will probably get a damned raise for this, too.

This leaves no room error now. If we had a decent 12th game opponent. It would give us a little more room to slip up in a game. But now with this high school we are pretty much going to have to be perfect throughout the whole season to reach the lofty goals that we have set for ourselves. Or we are going to have to beat the hell out of everybody. Thanks Boone. You probably should have taken care of this a while back.

In regards to this abortion, please refer to my handle.

Was Jamar Hornsby ever listed on the online roster? If so, then to hell with innocent until proven guilty. He ain't on there now. My guess is we announce his dismissal from the team this Friday afternoon and avoid a ton of press on the subject.

So much for strength of schedule...

I really don't give a shit that we just added another crap game to our schedule. I'm just glad that we keep our bye week before the LSU game as opposed to the second weekend of the season.

It would have been nice to schedule Appalachian State or someone with a little more national exposure on the DII level, but fuck it.

Even with a week OOC schedule, if an SEC team wins the SEC championship with one loss, they will most likely be playing for the title game. Especially after the statement the SEC has made in NC games in the past decade.

Really Pete Boone? Really?

You douche-hairstyled, punk-ass, bitch-ass...ass.

You suck, Pete. Think any decent teams'll be available after we fire this jackass on July 1?

The Gardner-Webb bulldog looks like he is trying to take a shit in his own hands.

@ DuNing

You know the saying "Wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first"? Well, when you're Gardner-Webb, you don't get many wishes.

This just in. We will not go undefeated. We will not go to a BCS bowl. We have a good shot at the Sugar Bowl (tie -in for losing to Florida), and strength of schedule doesn't matter there.

You realize the Sugar Bowl is a BCS bowl?

Any chance we can play it on Friday night and have a dance afterwards?

They only lost 10-7 at Georgia Tech last season. I wouldn't sleep on them.

Not so fast. Word on the street is the G-W game has fallen through. Thanks again, Pete!

WTF, is anyone else hearing Colorado now? I'm also hearing Mississippi school of the Blind
