College Football underwent a major “epiphany” this week. It wasn’t WHAT but WHO did it that is significant. No academic institution likes to admit it’s a shameless whore to the rude, crude, and boorish Fat Cats and flapdoodles in its fan base. They wait for someone else to officially lower the bar … then the other 116 schools que up in the limbo line. How low can we go?
When something “outrageous” happens at “a football factory” the rest of the sports nation giggles, rolls their eyes proclaiming “things like THAT don’t happen at dear Ol’ WhatsAMatter U … we have OUR priorities in line don’t you know!”
The standard definition of “football factory” is “any school in the SEC not known as Commodores” or “any school in the Big 10/11/12 not located in Evanston IL” … and throw in ANY school located in Florida including the Appalachicola School of Auctioneering and Toe Nail Art (ASATNA).
The state of Alabama is perceived as “the other side of the tracks” when it comes to pure unadulterated adulterous behavior … Auburn and U of Alabama have always been Div 1-A’s 6-toed cross-eyed cousins. Whether its Auburn’s Bobby Lauder (THE most disgusting Fat Cat since UCLA’s Sam Gilbert drowned in his hot tub), Mike Dubose (diddling his secretary), Mike Price (the Pensacola Prevaricator), or that clodhopper that flung the brick thru Bill Curry office’s window … every other school uses AU and UA to excuse their own sordid behavior … at least we're not low rent trailer trash like THEY are.
