Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

You, for one, welcome your Pac10 overlords

Don't worry, we don't have any underground salt mines.  We do, however, have something much more important.  A clearly delineated standard  for carrying ourselves as fans.  So, put away those cowboy boots and shave that mustache (unless it's ironic) and let me take you on a magical mystery tour through all things Pac10.  This primer course will help bring you up to speed on what it's like to be a member of the Pac10.

Speech - You must pepper all language with an ever increasingly annoying series of the word "like."  It's, like, just how we, like, talk.  I mean, like, this is exactly how Glenn Seaborg spoke when inventing the nuclear bomb and other huge matters:  " I think we should, like, place a new actinide series, like, for elements 89–103, below the, like, lanthanide series. "

Tanning - For you,  burnt orange is a school color.  For us, it is a way of life.  If we aren't at the tanning salon, we're at the tanning funeral parlor, tanning baseball dugout, or perhaps even the tanning synagogue.  We tan, tan, and then once we are done, tan some more.  Then, we tan again.  So, I think you'll be ready to go.

Lakers fans - Ya, you all have to become Lakers fans.  Sorry.  I hate it, too.  You think I like sitting next to Jack Nicholson?  Dude has so many STDs, there are some STDs discovered solely in him.  Thankfully, he has STDs 3 Stooges disease.  Each STD is keeping the others in perfect equilibrium.  But perhaps I have said too much.  Either way, pledge your undying allegiance to Derek Fisher or leave forthe SEC immediately!

So Texas fans - are you ready?  Are you ready to weather the whiny complaints of every Cal fan who nurses a Texas-sized grudge against Mack Brown and the 2004 Longhorns?  Are you ready to deal with USC fans who still claim that the Trojans were a better team in 2005 (Thanks, by the way, for winning that game).  And worst of all, are you prepared for....ROAD TRIPS TO PULLMAN WASHINGTON?!?  The Pac-10 can be a scary and/or annoying place.  You may just want to rethink things, take your millions of dollars and gigantic fan base, and go independent.  Become the 21st century version of Notre Dame.  Except, you know, good at football.

On behalf of the California Golden Blogs, let me be the first to welcome you to the Pac10.  You will be the new Oregon State and we will call you Jobu.  So, Jobu, like, come on by the California Golden Blogs and any other delightful Pac10 site and come join all the fun!

PS Nobody tell Iowa State about this, OK?  It'll just be our little secret.

I had always assumed that Texas was the team with underground sugar caves being mined by Baylor and Tech fans given up as part of a complex political deal that allowed the schools to follow Texas into the Big 12

Those guys from Cal don’t know what they’re talking about. You need to come take a tour through the Pacific Northwest to really soak in the Pac-10 vibe. Bring a jacket, when we say “soak it in” we mean 3 months without seeing the sun. And that’s on a good day.

We all hate Kobe, even those damned Laker fans, so you should get your hate on now and start reading that police report from the crime he bought his way out of. Also OJ killed some people, and don’t even get us started on Ryan Appleby. But this isn’t about us, it’s about you. And how we’re all going to make lots of money together and mock the SEC. Just think of it, in a couple years ESPN will be talking about the “outdated SEC model” and how they are “behind the times”. I wish Tebow would come back just so nobody could pay attention to him.

Welcome to the soon-to-be Pac-16, which isn’t much of a name and we aren’t that Pacificish anyway (has Arizona ever SEEN an ocean before?). Since this deal is going to bring the whole room together, I for one, am going to call our new conglomeration The Big Lebowski.

Minds will not be blown. We have quite a few breweries popping up around here.
I do look forward to trying quite a few more cali wines.

If you make the road trip to Austin for a game, you might as well drive to Houston and visit St Arnolds (after you have hit liveoak and indenpendance in austin, of course).

I would trade Live Oak for Stone (San Diego), and that's saying almost as much as I can say.

Is it a coincidence that the wooing of Texas occurs as USC implodes? I think not! One helluva silver-haired coach gets replaced by another helluva silver-haired coach. Out goes Will, in comes Matthew McConaughey.

Next, I am glad that in 2012 we can help bring some polish and glamor back to the West Coast when Garrett Gilbert brings home the Heisman. As long as Paris Hilton doesn’t get her claws on him, he may have a chance at a pro career one day.

Finally, I truly hope the SWC-light comes back to fruition by the remnants of the Big 12 pulling back former SWC members back into the fold. That would give Craig James a familar conference to meddle with once more. Oh wait, we have to bring Tech with us to the West Coast…damnit.

Lesson 1:

Now that you’re part of the greatest mega-conference in the history of mega-conferences…you need to know that out West, our mascots really do throw down. There’s no such thing as “almost” or “sorta kinda scared them”.

Just ask the boys from Houston how their Cougar got the beatdown from a Duck mascot named “Puddles”. Even the damn Stanford tree has thrown hands from time to time. Did you read the fine print about how Bevo is contractually obligated to start a ruckus or at the very least drop a deuce in Corvallis every 8 years? (Not like they’d notice anyways)

"bevo" is what happens when your mascot suddenly has the score of the previous year's loss branded on him

because this is Texas, and we do things like brand the score of a game from over a year ago into our rival’s cattle mascot

You obviously can’t have the score of a loss branded onto your mascot, because that would be embarrassing, so you have to fix it, and when you artfully fix it, you end up with a creative name like ‘bevo’.

by Beergut on Jun 11, 2010 8:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

maybe you need to brush up on some facts

I know that’s a difficult concept for aggies, but just try really hard.

The branding happened, but was NOT the source of Bevo’s name. And the brand was never changed, but the steer in question served to the Aggies at a football banquet, at which they were also presented with the hide that still read “13-0.”

The most well known tale never actually happened. In 1917, four A&M students branded the longhorn 13—0, marking A&M’s 1915 win over Texas. Texas students did not, in fact, retaliate by changing the steer’s brand to Bevo. Instead they fattened him up and served him at a football banquet in 1920. The Aggies were fed the side they had branded and presented with the hide, which still read 13—0

Also, http://www.texassports.com/trads/bevo.html

The debate was abruptly settled early on Sunday morning, February 12, 1917. A group of four Texas A & M students equipped “with all the utensils for steer branding” broke into the South Austin stockyard at 3 a.m. It was a struggle, but the Aggies managed to brand the longhorn “13-0,” which was the score of the 1915 football game A&M had won in College Station.

Only a week later, amid rumors that the Aggies planned to kidnap the animal outright, the longhorn was removed to a ranch sixty miles west of Austin. Within two months, the United States entered World War I, and the University community turned its attention to the conflict in Europe. Out of sight and away from Austin, the branded steer was all but forgotten until the end of the war in November 1919. Since food and care for the animal was costing the University fifty cents a day, and because the steer wasn’t believed to be tame enough to roam the campus or remain in the football stadium, it was fattened up and became the barbecued main course for the January 1920 football banquet. The Aggies were invited to attend, served the side they had branded, and were presented with the hide, which still read “13-0.”

We rule the roost in recruiting in the big 12…now we gotta let USC, Cal, Stanford and everyone else get a leg up by being in their conference.

I suffer through four years as a Golden Bear Fan in California (Just kidding, my autographed game-worn Hicks jersey is a prized posession). I put up with watching Pac10 in California Memorial Stadium. By the way, the width of a Memorial State seat is roughly half the size of DKR seat. Everythings bigger in Texas I guess. I finally escape to Austin and almost exactly a year later we return to the Pac-10.

Nah, the Pac-10 isn’t that bad. We’re going to have to have a sit down and talk about a couple things before things go too far. First of all, wine and cheese and tailgating just don’t go together. It’s just wrong. USC can only play the damn fight song twice in a drive. Oregon’s uniforms must be approved by the other 15 teams two weeks ahead of time. Finally, The Stanford tree is going, this is not negotiable.

We sing Poor Aggies whenever they’re beaten or nearly beaten or directly on the way to being beaten. It is a truly mournful and debilitating moment, like saying good by to the last sheep in the pen.

We once sang Poor Aggies with seven minutes gone in the first quarter.

The words are easy….pooooooooor aggggg-giesssssssssssssssss. Repeat and build until their aggies eyes are all blurry.

In 1965 at Kyle Field, in a game featuring a trick play called the Texas Special, I saw 50,000 aggies crying all at once as we sang to them after an amazing 21-17 comeback win after being down 17 zip. Melts my heart to think about it.

And last, the aggies will make up special hand signs for you. No one knows what they really mean nor do we want to know but you’ll get yours. Consider it a creative opportunity. Of course, I realize that Trees don’t have hands and trojans have a sword in one hand and Reggie Bush’s rent check in the other, but the rest of you can join in.

can we just let them go and take Utah instead?

I lived in Houston for 4 years. I think I got my fill.

Actually, many of my friends in Houston were a&m grads, and absolutely nice, reasonable people so I was absolutely shocked when we played a&m at the Holiday Bowl in 06, let’s just say the fan behavior then was in stark contrast to people I worked and hung out with in Houston.

We make fun of the Aggies, but we actually like most of them. One side of my family are all A&M grads.

I was at that Holiday Bowl and I have to agree. Some of the Aggie behavior was deplorable.

LP

stellar name.
for those that don’t know in texas, kid is a stud from oakland (or, if in cali, oaktown, as you can’t actually use the real name) that got to cal and essentially got pushed to the pros, if my knowledge is correct.

anyway, as a ut undergrad, cal grad, and current oakland resident, i’ve got to say – let’s got tex-pac or pac-16 or whatever. gives me the exact same chance of seeing ut in person without major travel as . . .hmmm, currently?

sad to see the big 12 blow up, as it has been very good to texas (here’s a hint, i was at texas when we sucked, but pete gardere kicked ass beating ou 4 times). though, the future is unknown and i like our current position.

anyway, LP, you still in Houston? or move back west?

and essentially got pushed to the pros, if my knowledge is correct.

He played a year at Cal, suffered a horrible knee injury, came back to play another stellar year for the Bears, then wisely left for the pros while his knees were still functioning. They lasted just long enough for him to play a key role in the Celtic championship in 2008.

re: A&M

I know a Rice guy, and says that this was one of the happiest moments of his life. Having an Aggie sobbing in front of him apparently only made it sweeter. Other than his outright loathing of A&M I don’t really care about them one way or the other.

All we need to do is...

figure out how to put ducttape around both conferences and we can pretend it is one. You guys can still be the 12 on the west side and we’ll be the 10 on the south side. See, we really have a 22 team conference with two or three divisions. Your guys and our guys play each other in OOC and we’ll pretend they are conference games. We will be the toughest 22 team conference in football.

There was a little known memo released tonight at midnight.

Very quietly, UT has named the Pac 10 as the "Conference in Waiting.’ There was no explicit time span noted in the release, but the Board of Regents held an eleventh hour meeting to signify that some day, somewhere, some how that this union could happen. A special research fund was also specified but explicit details were sketchy. One witness noted it was for unforeseen but certainly possible consequences of this interaction.
