Foolish Thinkin' (Why the B1G's freshmen ineligibility proposal is discriminatory to say the least)

"We have completely lost our minds playboy!"

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the 18th century German writer and statesman, once said, “Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago.” Richard Cecil, the 18th and 19th century Evangelical Anglican clergyman, gave it to us like this, “The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.” Then Nikola Tesla, the well-known inventor, shut the joint down with, “It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.”

However playas…sometimes a boy can open up new and greater prospects that don’t make an ounce of sense either. The Big Ten has lost its freakin’ mind as they are seekin’ feedback from its members on the possibility of makin’ freshmen athletes ineligible for competition as they adjust to college life. Whatttttt!!!????

These duns are circulatin’ a document titled “A Year of Readiness” that is explorin’ makin’ freshmen football and basketball players ineligible to compete so that they would have a better chance of graduating.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! First of all, the Big Ten just became relevant again in football a month ago playboy. Now they want to shoot themselves in the foot by tellin’ boyz that if they come to play in their conference they can’t play right away? That’s extremely intelligent bruh! Now the few Top 150 studs that were even remotely thinkin’ about goin’ to places like Ohio State and Michigan, now that Jim Harbaugh is drivin’ the bus, just got off on Crenshaw and Slauson or 5^th and Colfax or whatever hood you’re from. They definitely aren’t gettin’ off in Big Ten Country.

If every conference in the country doesn’t do the same they just gave themselves a death sentence. Why? Because EVERY kid that’s a top recruit thinks that he’s good enough to play his freshmen year. Whether they’re good enough or not is irrelevant. He’s not gonna voluntarily go somewhere that he knows 100 percent he’s not gonna play as a freshman. Therefore, the Big Ten will have committed suicide!

Even if the rest of the country does adopt this foolishness it won’t ensure that a boy will graduate. Cats that have every intention of graduating are graduating now bruh! The same duns that aren’t graduating now still won’t graduate. Stop lyin’ to folks! This is about bread not boyz finishin’ school. Most freshmen football players aren’t playin’ now! That’s what they call a red shirt pimpin'! Who’s comin’ up with this stuff? And that’s the edited version!

From a basketball standpoint, even if the whole country adopts it, which they won’t, it’s even more ignorant! By tellin’ boyz that they can’t play, you've just forced all of the potential “One and Done” cats out of the ride and into a minivan headed to the airport to Europe for a year. Very few of the McDonald’s All-Americans would even go to college! Why? Because you just told them that they’ve got to go to college for essentially two years instead of one. They can’t play their freshmen year and now they’ve got to come back to prove that they are what we thought they were two years ago so that they can get drafted.

Sure, they only make up less than 1 percent of the college basketball players in America but they make up the vast majority of the TV revenue that drives the sport playa. Again, who’s the genius that's comin’ up with this foolishness?

Let me put it where the goats can get it. Not everybody goin’ to college is tryin’ to obtain a degree. Not everybody wants to go to college. Not everybody needs to go to college. I’ve only got a college degree because I didn’t possess the DNA to make millions of dollars when I was 18 to 22 years old.

If you’ve got the ability to play as a freshman then you should be able to. There are tons of kids that play as freshmen that still end up graduating. To rope everybody into the same category is asinine.

You sound stupid even suggestin’ that this is about academics! College athletics in my Bill Russell voice “Has been and will always be about bread!” The money generated from the athletic department funds the freakin’ research that the playa hatin’ science professor is doin’. The same dun in the math department that hates Urban Myer is enoyin’ the brand new lounge and computer labs bought by the money the football team generated in ticket sales, merchandising, TV contracts and booster donations while in route to winnin’ a national championship. And now the joint has exploded with alumni donations to fund the freakin’ music arts department, the journalism school and even the sociology department. Stop it bruh it's about the bread!

And please don't let the smooth hustla get by you! Why is it that the they only chose football and basketball? The sucka intellectually will only recognize that they chose the two largest revenue producin' sports on campus. However, the gangsta from an intellectual standpoint will recognize that they chose the two sports that have the largest percentage of black athletes. Nobody ever trips when kids that play sports that are predominately white go pro at 14 or 15 years old. For example, tennis, gymnastics or golf. However, when these black kids leave school early to sign million dollar contracts it's a problem. If you're goin' to rule freshmen ineligible then why not all freshman athletes?

It's no different than the federal drug laws playboy. A boy can get 20 years in prison for an gram of crack but darn near probation for the same amount of powder cocaine. Who's doin' crack and who's doin' the powder playa? How are you gonna tell a boy on the football or basketball team that he can't play but the duns on the soccer, rowing, wrestling, tennis or the LaCrosse teams can play? What makes them better or more deservin' to participate than the cat on the football or basketball teams? Don't let these boyz run game on you all of your life pimpin'! 

And who in their cotton pickin’ mind says that everybody has to have a college degree. If everybody focused on gettin’ a degree we wouldn’t have plumbers, electricians, welders, carpenters, mechanics, general contractors, construction workers etc. The last I checked playboy they can make as much if not more money than a dun with a college degree.

I know plenty of boyz with degrees livin’ pay check to pay check with bad credit. So don’t sell me the foolishness that everybody needs to stay in school to get a degree to become successful. And who is the Big Ten tryin' to fool? They don't care if a boy graduates or not! As long as the bread is green they're spendin' it. If a kid has the ability to play as a freshman then he should be given the right to compete. 

Here's some fool hollerin' from the top of his lungs, "Up to 1972 freshman nationwide were ineligible! So this is possible." Here's the problem playboy, this ain't up to 1972! College football and basketball weren't billion dollar industries. Let me tell you what the old gangstas taught me growin' up in the G! "Once you shoot the gun you can't get the bullets back!"

This is a prime example of some cat sittin’ in the Big Ten office with nothin’ to do. So he comes up with some foolishness that nobody in the office has guts enough to tell him that it’s stupid! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Playas Thesaurus:
1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc.
2) And that’s the edited version – I’m tryin’ not to curse these boyz out up in this piece.
3) Let me put it where the goats can get it.: I’m goin’ to break it down for you. I’ll put it on the ground for you so that there isn’t any confusion. Remember playa, goats eat off of the ground. I’m makin’ it as clear as Vodka.

Shinin' (Why the first openly gay college football player is bein' selfish & just tryin' to get famous)

"Hey everybody! Look at me!"

Marya Mannes, the famous author and critic, once said, “Timing and arrogance are decisive factors in the successful use of talent.” Hesiod, the ancient Geek poet, gave it to us like this, “Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things is the most important factor.” Then Steven Van Zandt, the famous musician, broke it down into baby food when he said, “Timing really is nearly everything. And what it isn’t, circumstance makes up for.”

Well playboy, timin’ really is nearly everything and the Arizona State football program understands full well what I’m talkin’ about. Offensive lineman Edward “Chip” Sarafin told Complete Magazine that he is gay becomin’ the first active Division I college football player to come out publically.

Like I’ve said on numerous occasions, I think everyone has a right to be themselves and live the life they want to live. Diversity is of paramount importance in this society. So if Chip is gay then that’s his business. I just believe that the timin’ of the announcement was terrible and selfish.

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Chip is a member of the Arizona State football “TEAM” that just reported to camp a week ago. So that means that they are in full tilt trainin’ camp right now. Athletes and coaches are creatures of habit and anything that throws that off creates problems.

It’s great that ole boy wants the world to know that he’s gay but he could have told us that durin’ the spring when he apparently told his teammates. Why sit through the summer and then drop the bomb on boyz right in the middle of trainin’ camp? Boyz as in the media that tells the world.

What the rest of the world doesn’t understand bruh is that the smallest things become distractions in a sports locker room. Not the fact that Chip is gay but the fact that every media outlet in the freakin’ country is gonna be camped outside their complex wantin’ to ask players and coaches about how they feel about playin’ with a gay athlete etc. Not about the upcomin’ season or the game of football! All they’re goin’ to be talkin’ about now is some cat’s sexual preference which at this point is counter-productive for everybody involved.

Sure, on a college campus the Sports Information Director can to some degree keep the media at bay when it comes to players. However, the head coach is gonna get badgered for the next few weeks with questions that have absolutely nothin’ to do with football.

Here’s the kicker, ole boy jumps out of the birthday cake and he doesn’t even play! They said that this dun has yet to play in a freakin’ game and he’s in his fifth-year! So now they’re answerin’ questions from magazines that care absolutely nothin’ about football durin’ the most important time of the year for the team; about a player that won’t even touch the field. Talk about a distraction and a cat that just wants to be seen bruh. 

He's worse than the cat that scores a touchdown and takes his freakin' helmet off. Are you kidding me? 

So what’s really goin’ on playa! Is this cat pullin’ a Michael Sam all over again? You darn right he is! And that’s the edited version! He’s completely irrelevant and now he’s become the biggest story in the college football today and he doesn’t even play.

Nobody else is gonna say it so I will! Chip comin’ out durin’ trainin’ camp was the most selfish thing a player could have done because he’s taken the attention away from TEAM and put it all on himself. He’s been gay bruh. So why was it necessary for him to come out durin’ camp and not last spring? Why not when he showed up at Arizona State five years ago?

I’ll tell you why playa! Because he’s enterin’ his final year of eligibility at ASU and he wanted to shine because he hasn’t touched the field yet so how else can he get famous. He’s all over Sports Center today and the world knows his name now. However, his teammates and coaches that were gettin’ ready for the season to start and are now fieldin’ questions about a dun that’s so deep in the bench they need a map to find him. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Candy Stripes (The REAL reason Indiana is the most delusional programin America)

The delusional IU fan: "Man we can live off of these forever!"

When I go to Bloomington my first stop is always to Nick’s on Kirkwood to get some of those fire Stromboli’s. While I was eatin' the sweet pickles under the buffalo head these cats at the next table start arguin' over being delusional. Conan O’Brien said, “When all else fails there’s always delusion.” Carl Sagan, the famous astronomer, dove at ole boy and said, “For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” Then Richard Dawkins, the English ethologist, shut the building down with, “A delusion is something that people believe in despite a total lack of evidence.”

They must have been talkin' about Indiana Hoosier basketball playboy! IU is by far the most delusional college basketball program in America. It’s even more delusional than Notre Dame Football. Why? Because at least Notre Dame can use the excuse that boyz just don’t want to come up and play in the cold weather. So that’s why they can’t consistently compete for a national title.

IU on the other hand, is sittin' in the middle of Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and can’t buy a cavity. Why? Because of the delusion that exists in B-town. Don’t get it twisted pimp, I’m an IU grad! Disco Brisco for life, the Flame Room, Mother Bears, Hooligans on Thursday nights and all that bruh 'til the wheels fall off! So this isn’t coming from some cat that doesn’t understand the culture or should I say the foolishness that goes on in B-town!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Boyz kept Bobby Knight around way too long bruh! He literally stayed about 10 years after the party was over and nobody had to guts to just push him out of the door. Then he became the dun that got drunk and started knockin' over priceless artwork so they finally had to escort him out of the front door.

The problem was, they fired the dun 2 weeks before the start of the 2000 season and just threw ole dull Mike Davis into oncomin' traffic and he was like a deer in headlights. The good ole boys down there didn’t want him but he handcuffed them and won 21 games in his first year. Then he turned around and pistol whipped them with his pants down and took them to title game the followin' season. So they couldn’t fire him as much as they still wanted to.

Then they ran the best recruiter that the program has ever had out of town in just two quick seasons because of some freakin’ text messages! Now the same rule that got Kelvin Sampson fired isn’t even a rule anymore. It’s perfectly legal to do what he was doing now. So how much of a violation was it if boyz don’t even care to enforce it anymore? Murder is still Murder even 100 years later bruh! They don’t take rules like that off of the books but spittin' in the park may be excluded.

How in the world do you think that Eric Gordon changed his mind at the last minute to come to IU? He was on his way to Illinois!! But those freakin’ phone calls and text messages kept him at the crib pimpin’! Let me put it where the goats can get it playa! Everybody that’s winning is cheatin' to some degree. There are so many freakin’ rules in the NCAA handbook that you can’t keep them straight and most of them you can’t control.

Even when the great Bobby Knight was there boyz were cheatin'! Now he probably wasn’t but all of the merchants in town sure were because I saw it with my own two eyes. If a player walks into a restaurant and eats for free that’s an NCAA violation. Well boyz were violatin' all over town all of the time. That’s cheatin'!! So stop actin' like IU has more morals than duns at Kentucky, Duke, UNC etc. etc.etc.! They just keep climbin' through Indiana's window and taking their women. If it were an elite program that wouldn't happen EVERY freakin' year!

Here’s my IU fan in his candy stripe warm-ups screamin’ at the top of his lungs, “That’s not a big deal! It’s only a free meal!” Those freakin’ text message weren’t a big deal either! Boyz just wanted Kelvin gone and that was the scapegoat. He was the best thing for IU because he proved that he could land the big fish. You can’t win titles without havin' studs all over the floor and IU keeps fishin' in retention ponds looking for sharks and pullin' out guppies.

Every year you hear the same thing, “Man next year IU has the best recruiting class in America. Boy next year they’re gonna be really good because so and so is comin'. Wait ‘til next year because they got Joe Blow and Johnny Good are comin' to town.” When in reality for at least the past 27 or 28 years the best players in the state have been givin' IU the finger and goin' elsewhere.

Am I lyin’? Sit down playboy and check out this list of duns that grew up in the state and shot spit balls at IU, signed with other programs and went to the league: Rick Fox (UNC), Glenn Robinson (Purdue, POY), all three of the Plumlee brothers with Mason and Miles already in the league and Marshall on deck (Duke), they missed on two of the Zeller brothers, Tyler and Luke (UNC and ND), Rodney Carney (Memphis), Josh McRoberts (Duke), Zach Randolph (Michigan State), Greg Odon (OSU) Mike Conley (OSU) George Hill (IUPUI) Shawn Kemp (UK, JUCO), Sean May (UNC), Jeff and Marquis Teague (Wake Forest and UK) Courtney Lee (Western Kentucky), Eric Montross (UNC), Luke Harongody (ND), Robbie Hummel, E’Twan Moore amd JaJuan Johnson (Purdue), Gordon Hayward (Butler). I could go on but why? And I didn't even mention all of the cats that played at big time programs and didn't go to the league like Chris Thomas (ND) and Jason Gardner (Arizona), etc.

Here’s the IU fan again, “Man most of those guys wouldn’t have even qualified to get into Indiana.” Really? It’s a state school you idiot! If they could get into the other schools I’m quite sure they could get into IU. John Thompson wasn’t turning boyz down at Georgetown in the ‘80’s and that was a private school pimpin’! Why? Because he was trying to win! So don’t give me the academics excuse because they let me in and I couldn’t even read until after a graduated from that piece!

Think about all of the studs that are in college right now that passed on IU bruh! Gary Harris is at Michigan State along with Brandon Dawson. Zach Irving, Glenn Robinson III and Mich McGary are all at Michigan right now. Crean could win a national title with these five and Plumlee last week! Just think of how dominant of a program IU would be if they had just signed half of these cats!

Sure, IU’s got five banners blowing in the wind down in Bloomington but they’re ancient history. The last time they won a title was 1987 bruh! That was 27 years ago. That means that boyz that are darn near 30 years old have never even seen them win a championship and you still think that it’s still an elite program? Put the pipe down, take the needle out of the your arm, wipe the powder off of your nose and back away from the table slowly!

Until you find a cat that can recruit and you’re willing to get out of his way. You’re gonna keep getting subpar talent and getting the doors blown off of you by cats from Indiana that went down the street to play for somebody that really has an elite program. Stop me when I start lyin’!

The quote under the caption isn’t real but its REAL talk!  

Windows & Pots (Why parents have no to right to tell a boy where to go to school)

"Yeah, I know they're upset but it's my life playboy!"

As boyz were signing their letters of intent on Wednesday the fellas started choppin’ it up in the barber shop on the subject of being ungrateful. Saint Basil, the Greek bishop of the mid 300’s AD, asked the question, “Does not the gratitude of the dog put to shame any man who is ungrateful to his benefactors?” Then Timothy Dexter, the 19^th century businessman, fired back with, “An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from.”

What completely blew my mind on Wednesday as these kids were signing their National Letters of Intent to go off to school on a full athletic scholarship; were the reactions of some of these parent’s at their kid’s decisions. Rashaan Evans, who is from Auburn, Alabama, had initially committed to Auburn decided at the last minute to go to Alabama. It was evident by his parents reaction that they were upset by his decision to play in Tuscaloosa. When ole boy announced his decision they weren’t supportive at all as seen by how they were wearing their emotions on their sleeves.

Then there was a kid that wanted to sign with Michigan State and excuse me for not knowing his name but his momma was so upset about his decision that it’s held up the signing. Because MSU wants to make sure momma is on board. Remember last year when some kid's mother stole the letter and the boy couldn't sign until they found her with the freakin' letter?

I know you remember the ghetto momma last year that tripped on national television during the All-American game? Her son announced that he would be going to Alabama and she wanted him to go to LSU and said it on TV like Shanaynay. Then she did it again with this year with her next child! Wheredeydodatat?

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! These kids have busted their butts to become the best high school players in the country! Do you realize how many millions of duns play high school football in America? So if they are in the Top 100 they’re probably gonna be a millionaire in a matter of 3 or 4 years bruh! So if ESPN is showing up to televise your child signing a letter of intent you need to shut up and enjoy the ride playa.

Yeah, I know that most of that is DNA but a lot of it is him putting in the work, staying out of trouble and going to freakin’ class. These kids have done enough work to take the burden off of their parents where they don't have to pay for college which costs anywhere from 100 stacks to 250 stacks depending upon where they decide to go to school and they’re sitting up here mad? It would be different if they had to pay for them to go to some school that they didn't like.

On some real talk, they need their butts whooped! And that’s the edited version bruh! Once you’ve gotten your kid to this point then it’s on him. Mommas and daddys have no say so on where a kid decides to go to school if they aren’t paying for it. If the kid wants to go to Alabama or anywhere else for that matter, then it’s his decision.

If it goes south then it’s on him. But you’ve got to trust that you’ve taught him enough up to this point to make good decisions about HIS future. You can’t live his life and if you force him to go somewhere else and it goes south he’s gonna always blame you.

He’s 17 or 18 years old now playboy. You’ve got to let him go to make his own way and signing with whomever he wants is the first step to him becoming a man. You just have to explain to him that this is his life and it starts with this decision.

Now I would be remiss if I let you go and didn’t say it so I will. So in my old school Big Momma voice with the raggedy house coat and blasted slippers that she’s been wearing since the civil rights movement, “Some of these damn mommas and daddys ain’t got a window or a pot and got the nerve to be sittin’ up here mad about where this boy wanna go to school for FREE.”

The conversation should be as simple as this... Son: "Hey ma and dad I've decided to go to The Northwest Ohio Presbyterian Peter's Rock Baptist Southeast Crossroads Pilgrim of the Latter Day Saints Methodist Eastern Star  of the Central Light of the World University!" Parents: "How much is that gonna cost us?" Son: "Nothing!" Parents: "Do they offer what you're looking for?" Son: "Yes." Parents: "Cool! Here's $20 bucks for the ride up and I'll holla at you on Christmas break!"  Stop me when I start lyin’ bruh!

The Dull Fix ( The REAL reason ESPN keeps trying to hustle Alabama into the title game)

"Oh yeah, I know they waitin' on us to fall! But not on my watch playboy!"

When I was a shorty the old timers would always say, “Don’t take any wooden nickels out there in them streets young fella!” Mr. Willie down at the carwash would break it down like this, “Keep ya money in ya front pocket because a thief can’t get you if you lookin’ right at him.” My Old Man would shut the building down with joints like this, “As long as you know the hustle is coming you won’t ever be surprised by it.”

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! The national title invites are on the line this weekend playboy. For both Ohio State and Florida State it’s as simple as winning and you’re in the Vizio BCS National Title Game on January 6^th in Pasadena, Ca.! I can hear that Bootsy Collins still bumpin’, “Um LA, Californ-I-A, the city of angels, Hollywood!” But if you’re dull it’s a wrap and then it gets complicated because the wack media has a hidden agenda, especially the duns over at ESPN!

You better believe that they're looking for some foolishness to occur on Saturday. If both Ohio State and Auburn hit the bricks then they’ve already planted the seeds to talk boyz into putting Alabama into the title game as opposed to Mizzou that would actually deserve to be there because they would be holding the freakin’ SEC trophy. Why? Because all you need to do is follow the money playboy!

Alabama is good for business and Mizzou ain’t. It’s just that simple. "Why are you saying that ESPN is trying to screw Mizzou when they are voters all over the country?" says the roof top screamer! Why? Because 98% of people including these dull voters can't and won't think for themselves and whatever the duns at ESPN say is golden.

Then they'll turn around and tell you that the BCS is broken. It's not the BCS, it's the dull voters. The computers don't come in with hidden agendas and personal bias' bruh, it's the people doing the voting that do. And the voters are heavily influenced by the duns driving the freakin' bus. I'm preachin' but y'all ain't listenin'!

If Mizzou should happen to win and OSU falls, the powers that be would convince them that a BCS Bowl is good enough for them and they’ll fall for it hook, line and sinker. Why? Because they’ve already over-achieved bruh. Nobody expected these duns to win in that league and especially not this early. So they’ll be happy just taking the freakin’ trophy to the crib.

While we’re talking about the Missouri freakin’ Tigers, the same clowns that were a perennial 4 to 5 loss team in the Big 12, lets pause for a minute to analyze this foolishness. How is it that these boyz are 60 minutes away from winning the SEC Championship? I’ll tell you how? Because the entire conference isn’t as good as advertised. Like I’ve been saying for years, the top 3 are usually the best in the country. However, the rest of those duns are eating catfish too and Mizzou playing in the SEC Title Game further proves my point.

Now the hustle was already put into effect once Alabama lost to Auburn in the Iron Bowl. On the Monday after that game, ESPN paraded Auburn’s athletic director Jay Jacobs around to the shows to campaign for a one loss SEC team to play for the title even though we had two undefeated teams still alive. In his words, “It would be un-American to not have a one loss SEC team in the title game.”

Obviously, he’s thinking that the Auburn Tigers would be playing instead of Mizzou if they were to win and boyz fall apart on Saturday. Listen to me playboy, if Auburn falls apart, like I think they will and Ohio State just happens to stump their toe against Michigan State. Mizzou will get the shaft because the media world wants to see Alabama even though they didn’t win the conference championship.

You’ve been hearing duns like ESPN’s Colin Cowherd telling boyz all week that Alabama was still his No.2 ranked team in front of Ohio State, Auburn and Mizzou. So you already know they’re waiting for the ball to drop on Saturday.

Here’s my roof top screamer with that foolishness again, “Why would ESPN want an SEC team in the championship game? They get nothing out of it!” Sit down and let an O.G. explain it to you young playa. Keep in mind that the SEC and ESPN just joined forces to start the SEC on ESPN Network in August of 2014. So they’ve got crazy skin in the game playa. The brand that they're tied to needs to be seen at all costs. Not the Big 10 or the ACC! They wanna see the SEC all day long. Why? Because it's good for the brand.

So that’s why you hear boyz talking about how bad Ohio State and Florida State’s schedule were and they never say a mumbling word about how bad Alabama’s schedule was. They played two ball games this year and lost one of them. If you don’t believe me bruh here it is bruh!

You keep hearing these duns trying to sell us on the fact that Florida State has never been challenged this year. They keep saying that they've never played from behind etc. Has anybody sat back and thought about how good these cats just might be?

Nobody ever said that about all of the University of Miami teams that were in the dull Big East for years. They won 5 national championships in 20 years and played in title games at their home freakin’ stadium, the Orange Bowl. Are you kidding me?

Can you imagine Alabama playing for the national title in Byrant-Denny, Ohio State playing in Ohio Stadium or Florida State playing at Doak-Campbell for all of the marbles? I’m not hatin’, I’m just keepin’ it real pimpin’!

When USC was blasting boyz with Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart and Co. nobody tripped. Now that Florida State is running rough shot all over the ACC, the powers that be are upset. Because I know that the fix is in with these dull media cats that have the potential to vote crazy, I hope that both Ohio State and Florida State go to work this weekend and beat the doors off of Michigan State and Duke respectively. By taking care of business they’ll box out the duns that are trying to run game on those of us that just simply love this game! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Lies & Foolishness (How the Media keeps running game)

"It ain't over 'til its over playboy!"

Vladimir Lenon once said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." Winston Churchill gave it to us like this, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Then my boy John F. Kennedy kicked the door in when he said, "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic."

What blows me away about these media type cats is their ability to lie to folks that hang on their every word. You would think that they would just keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st but I guess I'm the only cat out here on that program.

When the discussion of the BCS National Championship comes up and who will possibly have the opportunity to play in the freakin' game these cats start talking crazy! They start talking about how bad the system is and that the new format will be better. The BCS was put together to merely have No.1 play No.2 and that's what we have.

Keep in mind playboy, this ain't the NFL where there are 32 freakin' teams and the talent level is the same across the board There are 120 teams that play at about 5 different levels of play The MAC isn't competing at the same level as the freakin' Big 10, ACC, SEC, PAC 12 or Big 12! So there no way to have a legitimate system unless you had the FBS drop to 32 teams and have 12 go to the playoffs like the NFL.

But all of the bread on the table from bowls etc won't allow that to happen The president at Purdue isn't going to vote his school off of the island so Alabama and Oregon or Florida State can play for all of the marbles.

In the years before the BCS was instituted we didn't No. 1 vs. No. 2 because the different conferences had bowl contract obligations that wouldn't allow them to play each other. For example, No.1 Alabama would have to play in the Sugar Bowl and No.2 Florida State would have to play in the Orange Bowl. So depending upon what they did in their respective bowl games boyz would "vote" on who won the national title. If they both won there would be a split national championship which was dull.

Since the BCS was formed we've seen No.1 and No.2 play for all of the marbles and pretty much every year they've gotten it right. Now these media cats are trying to get you to believe that this 4 team playoff is gonna be better.

How is it going to be better if it's still subjective bruh? Boyz are still voting on who gets in. And get this, most of the duns doing the voting are affiliated with the active conferences and participating schools. Tell me how fair that's gonna be playboy!

Also instead of having real conversations about the potential BCS match up at the end of the season these media cats muddy the waters on sports radio and TV by talking about all of the undefeated teams and how its gonna be a mess at the end of the season if they all run the table.

 Listening to them going into this weekend they had boyz thinking that Florida State, Miami, Oregon, Ohio State, Baylor, Texas Tech, Mizzou and Alabama were all going to roll up to the club in the unbeaten '64 Impala sittin' on 24's, get into it with some duns and all walk out alive. Both Mizzou (South Carolina) and Texas Tech (OU) got gut punched as soon as they walked into the joint on Saturday.

If you've been keeping up with college football for more than a freakin' year you know boyz are gonna start dropping like flies at this point in the season. But they'll lie to you and tell you that the BCS is gonna be a mess at the end of the season because they're not going to fall.

Then they'll give you all of the foolish reasons why this team or that team should be ahead of the other and so on and so forth.

Instead of just laying out the truth of the matter and informing the duns that don't think for themselves what really has to happen. They create this mess to make the BCS look crazy when it always works itself out anyway.

 They don't tell you that Florida State still has to play Miami, Bama will have to play Mizzou in the SEC Title Game that's if they can get past LSU. There are no givens playa. Then Oregon still has Stanford to play and a Pac 12 title game. Ask Oregon if they remember what happened last year against the dun dressed up in the tree costume. Also Baylor still has to win out in the Big 12. So we aren't even close to talking about boyz running the table.

Every year in week 9, 10, 11 and 12 cats start falling off and in the end there will at most be two duns standing that are undefeated or not. Most of the time you've only got 1! We saw two boyz buckle under the pressure on Saturday but these fools will sit up and lie to you to make you believe that 6 or 7 teams will pull into the gate with unblemished records when the smoke clears. That's call playing you homeboy!

For all of you Boise State fans out there. I'm talking about boyz that are playing in legitimate conferences. Not when you were gutting duns in the WAC playing absolutely nobody and showing up to the bowl games with no injuries and winning. Now that you've moved up to a slightly better conference in the Mountain West you're getting the doors blown off of you on national TV.  Like this past Friday night for example when BYU hit you in the mouth 37-20.

Utah was killing 'em in the MWC and every since they've joined the PAC 12 they've been getting baptized. Playing real football teams week in and week out makes a difference playboy! It's not even possible to finish the season with nobody on the injured reserve list. That's crazy, but Boise State was doing it and these media cats knew it but wouldn't tell the casual fan. They'd just talk about why they should have a shot at the title knowing those duns were skating through just to increase listenership and sell ads space. If you just tell the truth folks would respect you in the morning.  

While I'm talking about boyz lying to you how bout the myth that SEC defenses are so dominate! How in the world does the two worse teams out of the Big 12 join the SEC and become two of the best teams in the freakin' conference within two years. Mizzou and Texas A&M were getting drug in the Big 12 and now Mizzou is sitting on top of the SEC East even with a loss to South Carolina.  Wheredeydodatat? In the SEC!

Why? Because the they brought the spread offense to a conference that primarily ran the football. So those front seven's looked ridiculous every night because all you had to do was stick 7 or 8 in the box. There was no such thing as quarterback play. Now they're getting spread out and boyz are giving up crazy points just like Bob Stoops from Oklahoma has been saying for years when duns criticized the Big 12 for not playing defense.

You're also finally seeing legitimate NFL quarterbacks in the SEC now with Johnny Manziel, A.J. McCarron and Aaron Murray and guess what? Duns are putting up big numbers and crazy points. Before that the only dun in the league was Jason Campbell and he's holding a freakin' clip board playa. Don't scream Ryan Tannehill because he's from Texas A&M from the Big 12!

All I'm saying is, if you're gonna listen to these cats out here at least think for yourself. Why? Because they'll have you believing that the Easter Bunny grew up in the projects car jacking boyz with Father Time and Snow White. And everybody knows that Snow White runs with the Tooth Fairy and the Baby New Year and she lives in the suburbs.

Don't believe everything you hear out in these street bruh! Because the most realistic duns to end up in the national title game is Ohio State because they're the most likely to run the table. They've got a clear path the Michigan game and are flat out better than every team in the conference. But boyz keep trying to playa hate them because of the Big 10 schedule. But none of these same cats hatin' on the Buckeyes (Paul Finebaum and his boyz at ESPN) have even glanced at Alabama's cream puff schedule! For the past two years they've gotten away with murder with that joint. If you don't believe me pull it up pimpin'!

Now is Bama the best team in the country with the best coach in the country? Absolutely! But if you're going to use Ohio State's schedule against them while determining who plays in the title game if they run the table. Then the same criteria applies for Alabama! Stop me when I start lyin' playboy!

The quote under the caption isn't real but its REAL talk!

The Ripple Effect (Grambling played themselves)

"I tried to tell 'em bruh but they wouldn't listen!"

Abraham Lincoln once said, "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." Eli Wiesel got up and said, "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest." Then Michael Bloomberg shut the building down when he said, "It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach."

 On Friday afternoon the Grambling State University football team refused to board the buses to take them to Jackson State University for the Saturday matchup between the two proud historically black colleges and universities (HBCU's). The players are beefing with the school about travel policies, poor facilities and a jacked up coaching situation.

 Back in September the school fired legendary alumnus and the first and only black quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl, DougWilliams, just two games into the season.  Granted these duns were 1-10 last year and started off 0-2 this year. But if they didn't fire him after last season, what was firing him two games in going to do but create a situation like this? When they fired him you knew it was going to be some foolishness because that would automatically create a bad situation going forward. Nothing good was gonna come from it. In my Bernie Mac voice,"Nutin', Nutin'!

 Then just last week they sent these duns all the way to Indianapolis to play in the Circle City Classic on the freakin' bus! Now for those that don't understand, that's a 15 hour ride playboy. These cats left at 6pm on Friday evening and didn't get to Indy until 9am for a 2pm kickoff! Wheredeydodatat?

 Obviously they got the brakes beat off of them by Alcorn State 48-0, which is located in Mississippi. They flew in, on the other hand, on Friday and were well rested. So I completely get why these boyz are upset! However, if we're gonna talk then let's talk turkey bruh!

 Let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Unfortunately, everybody doesn't get to play major college football! Also the reality of playing at an HBCU means that they don't have the bread that other schools have with hundreds of thousands of rich alumni. Most of these schools were founded just 90 to 100 years ago. However, Grambling was founded in 1901 in the height of Jim Crow. So even though they had alumni they couldn't contribute to the schools bottom line like the predominantly white institutions alumni associations were able to do over the years. 

 So even though they have huge followings and alumni support we still live in America where those same initial alumni lived under segregation and limited access to the American dream until the last 35 years ago or so. I know playboy because both of my parents are proud alumni of Texas Southern University where they were students in the mid to late '50's! 

 Even though they graduated and made a good living they didn't have bread enough to fill the school's pockets with donations to build multimillion dollar facilities for boyz to train in and most still can't today. So when these cats signed a letter of intent to play at Grambling they knew that the school didn't have what LSU had down the street.

So while I get that boyz are upset and you feel like the school is mistreating you to some degree; you're still on scholarship and those joints are renewable annually pimpin'! So to not play was a good look in terms of protest and you let the world know that you weren't having it. But you also put your head on a potential chopping block. If that's what you were looking for then you got it. 

 Please understand this young playa, now that you're out there, you’re out there. By not getting on that bus on Friday and forfeiting the game against JSU on Saturday you potentially took your scholarship and threw it in the garbage. Don't think for one minute that there won't be consequences to not playing bruh! 

 Now on some real talk, the Grambling administration created this foolishness by firing Doug in the first place. So I'm not letting those clowns off of the hook at all. However, when boyz decided not to play they threw the rock in the water and the ripple effect will be devastating. 

 Not only are they soiling the reputation of their school but all HBCU's! Their actions as a university cost all kinds of folks bread this weekend. This is Jackson State's homecoming playboy! Do you realize how many people were on the yard on Friday gettin' in when some dun bumped the needle on the music to announce that Grambling didn't get on the bus? I know because I was on the yard when it spread like wild fire. My wife is a JSU alumna bruh! 

 And for all of you haters that are checking "Alumna" refers to a single female graduate and "Alumnus" refers to a single male graduate. The word Alumni refers to a group of both male and female graduates. I did go to college pimpin' and graduated from Indiana University but I get it in with the Tigers for homecoming! So now let's get back to that turkey we were talking about!

 You gotta remember that we live in a social media society and everything is instant! So as soon as the word hit the yard, folks started calling boyz that were in route. Now the question is, how many cats turned around and went back to the crib? If it was100 that was 100 too many bruh because homecoming is the biggest money maker of the year for HBCU's. 

 Most if not all are located in the hood because they were built in predominantly black neighborhoods at the turn of the 20th century and you know how those same hoods have deteriorated over the years because as folks got bread they've moved to the suburbs. Why not? But the fact remains that the schools couldn't move. So any and all bread that is made on big weekends like this is cherished.

 So after seeing this foolishness how many schools will take Grambling off of the schedule for homecoming or for  nonconference matchups in the future? If they can’t get boyz to play them outside of the SWAC then they’ll continue to lose bread. If they keep losing bread then they can’t afford to give scholarships. If they can’t offer scholarships boyz can’t go to school!  So are you willing to sacrifice all of that because you had to workout in the same jacked up facility and ride the same freakin’ bus that you signed up to ride in the first place? I’m just asking bruh!

The quote under the caption isn't real but its REAL talk!

Cussed Out (Spurrier's sudden change of heart)

"We got it all cleared up Big Momma!"

Samuel Butler, the Victorian-era English author,  once said, “Self-preservation is the first law of nature.” Jose Marti, Latin America writer, gave it to us like this, “An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life. Then Diogenes, the Greek philosopher, shut the building down when he said, “As a matter of self-preservation, a man needs good friends or ardent enemies, for the former instruct him and the latter take him to task.”

Well it looks like South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney’s friends were looking out for him when they got in his ear and told him to sit out of Saturday’s ole dull Kentucky game with a muscle strain near his rib area. Then his ardent enemies (media) piled on top of him for looking out for his future.

For the past year all of these media type cats have been talking about this kid being the best college football player in the game and how he’s gonna be the sure fire 1^st pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. There were even boyz in the media suggesting last year that it would make sense for him to even sit out this season to train and avoid injury after seeing his teammate, Marcus Latimore, mangle his knee last season only to slip in the draft.

I know y’all remember boyz putting that into the atmosphere right? Well that type of foolishness is what plants seeds in kid’s heads. Now ole boy is thinking about just that. So at the hint of injury he’s looking to sit down to make sure that he doesn’t hurt his draft status! It makes sense to me! Why risk playing against some duns from Kentucky that they’ll beat blind folded.

So while boyz were piling on, the Ole Ball Coach, Steve Spurrier, got caught up in the hype too. He got pulled into the foolishness when Clowney told him at the last minute that he wasn’t going to play. Spurrier was clearly pissed about it after the game on Saturday when he said, “We would welcome Clowney back to come play for the team if he wants. But if he doesn’t want to play, he doesn’t have to play. Simple as that.” Now the words themselves weren’t bad at all but the body language said it all and boyz (media) ran with it.

Then ole Steve realized that the best freakin’ player in college football was on his roster and he ain’t coaching at Florida anymore. He’s in Columbia, South Carolina coaching some duns called the freakin’ Gamecocks! These clowns have never won anything in 120 years of playing football. Oh, I’m sorry they were the winners of a lone conference title in 1969 and George Rogers won a Heisman in 1980. That’s the extent of their trophy room. So to have Jadaveon Clowney even standing on the sideline is a blessing to all South Carolinians playboy!

Spurrier wised up real quick in Tuesday’s press conference when he told boyz that as a staff they didn’t follow proper procedure in handling the situation. The player is supposed to tell the trainer and the trainer tells the coaches blah, blah, blah and we didn’t do that.

He then went on to say, “Let me say this about Jadeveon: If he never plays another snap here, we should all be thankful and appreciative that he came to South Carolina. We’ve won 26 games, two 11-2 years, the greatest seasons we’ve had in the history of the school, so none of us need to be upset at Jadeveon, none of us.” He then went on to say that all of those No.7 jerseys boyz are rockin’ made the school a lot of bread so we need to be thankful. I paraphrased that part of it because bread just sounds better than money my dude.

Ima keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Y’all already know Big Momma was watching the game on TV because she doesn’t like crowds. She saw Spurrier blasting her grand baby in the post-game press conference and she had Uncle Leroy drive her to Columbia on Sunday!

She had on her patent leather shoes with the purse to match and her big Sunday hat because you know she went to church before they got on the road. Y’all already know that the ole lady’s at church will curse you out for playing in the pews and chewing gum! I know firsthand pimpin’!

She walked into the complex cursing. I’m sorry she was cussin’! There is a difference playa! Cursing is when you can understand all of the words and she’s standing in one spot. Cussin’ is when they’re all coming at you at once but you can barely make them out. There is also a whole lot of finger pointing with a little spit coming your way and peppermints are falling out of the hole in her purse while she's running up one wall and sliding down the other. That's what Spurrier ran into bruh.

She got in there and read ole Steve the riot act. By the time he walked out of that office he looked like he’d been in a gang fight screamin’ “Make sure I don’t miss the press conference tomorrow. I gotta clear some things up. Right Big Momma?” You #%$*! right! Stop me when I start lyin’ bruh!

The Alabama Farce

"What you mean we ain't playin' nobody! We in the SEC ain't we?"

 

Paul Finebaum was just on College GameDay telling boyz that if Ohio State ran the table they still wouldn't have a shot at the national title because they play a weak schedule. He's a Alabama homer that went to Tennessee. So I guess Bama playing duns like Co. State, Ga. State, Ole Miss, Miss State, Mizzou, Ky, Chattanooga, Tennessee & Auburn is playing somebody? They have 2 games on the whole freakin' schedule: LSU & Texas A&M! Stop me when I start lyin' playboy!

If you think I'm hatin' take a look at last year's schedule: dull Michigan,Western Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida Atlantic, Ole Miss, Mizzou, Miss State, dull Tennessee, Western Carolina and Auburn! Again only LSU and A&M were good! And please don't give the whole look at the NFL draft and what the SEC puts out. Because I'll tell to look at who's being drafted. Duns from Bama, LSU and Georgia all day long.

Kentucky, Ole Miss, Miss State, Mizzou and Tennessee ain't filling up anymore rosters than anybody else pimpin! Stop with that foolishness! Alabama is in the SEC West not the East with Georgia, LSU and South Carolina. So it's always a bee line to the title game playing garbage teams.

Their schedule is worse than Ohio State's this year but when you have ESPN lying to boyz about strength of schedule one loss kills you like it did Florida State last year. Sure, they cut their throats losing to NC State but if that had been Bama losing to Ole Miss they still would have been in the hunt because of the perception that the SEC is better because ESPN is on their marketing committee bruh! Like I keep saying, they've got the best 2 or 3 teams in the country every year but there are 14 teams in the conference and the rest of those duns are eating off of Bama & LSU's plate at the buffet.

These ESPN cats be on something else bruh! But Ima keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st!

CAIN (Karma fires Lane Kiffin)

"I knew I was gonna have to deal with him someday bruh!"

Stanislav Grof, the famous psychiatrist, once said, “Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death, reincarnation, and karma, it has very serious implications for our behavior.” Sandra Bullock stood up and said, “I’m a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it’s bad or good.” Then Chris Pine, the famous actor, jumped out of his whip and said, “I believe in luck and fate and I believe in karma, that the energy you put out in the world comes back to meet you.

Well it looks like fate and karma knocked on ole dull Lane Kiffin’s door on Sunday morning! As a matter of fact, it just came right through the joint like the S.W.A.T. team in the projects bruh. As the USC Trojans were getting off of the plane at LAX after getting the breaks beat off of them at Arizona 62-41, athletic director Pat Haden asked Lane to get off of the bus so that he could, you know,  “holla at him for a minute.”

Lane thinking that it was going to be a routine chat so he left his bag on the bus. When he got off ole boy fired him and the team broke taking his bag with them according to the Twitter account of "Inside USC." In my Uncle Willie’s voice, “That was Cold Blooded playa!”

They fired that dun and made him find a ride to the crib. I can’t make this stuff up bruh. On some real talk, you can’t go around treating folks crazy and expect for it not to come back your way. Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Lane Kiffin has been dull for a long time and it was just a matter of time before somebody ran up on him. It's what they call ghetto justice my brother!

Just 4 games into his second season with the Raiders Al Davis dropped him like a bad habit for being what he called a “flat-out-liar!” He was frustrated with what he said was propaganda and lies going on for weeks. Y’all know how old timers are about cats lying to them. They can detect a lie a mile away so that foolishness wasn’t gonna fly with the sweat suit pimp. Boyz thought ole Al was crazy but he peeped his game way before anybody else did.

Then he took the job at Tennessee and made a farce out of that joint. Well...an even more of a farce of it! How bout that? Anybody that knows anything about college football is familiar with what goes on with the hostess programs and recruiting. This fool goes so far as to send these girls 200 miles away to show up at then senior and highly recruited Marcus Latimore’s game in Duncan, SC. They show up with signs that read “Come to Tennessee” that fueled an NCAA investigation. He is so dull bruh! Marcus' mom was turned off by it and he ended up at South Carolina with the "Ole Ball Coach" and the rest is history.

Then he takes the Southern Cal job after only being in Knoxville for a year causing a freakin’ riot outside of the football facility because those southern boyz were hot that he’d even do them like that. They had to give him a police escort to the crib and to the airport just to get out of town. Dull again!

Once he got to USC he’s been on some Three Stooges type shenanigans! I told you that I can’t make up this foolishness. Remember when that fool allegedly had the student manager deflating the balls on the Oregon sideline before a game? Then threw him under the bus only to back up and roll over him again by saying that the kid acted alone. Now why in the world would a student manager take it upon himself to start taking the air out of the freakin’ balls without somebody telling him too?

Now if he would have told us that the freakin' kid snuck into the opponents locker room and put Icey Hot in their jocks and took the laces out of their shoulder pads on his own I would believed that! Because that's something I would have done in college. So the kid gets fired and they keep it moving like it was no big deal. Extra dull!

Then this dun had players switching jersey numbers on special teams to confuse opponents. He refused to disclose injuries during game weeks and got caught lying about how he tried to motivate his players by telling them that he had not voted them No.1 during the preseason coaches poll. Foolishness bruh!

So when a boy pulls him off of the team bus, fires him and pulls off with his bag nobody’s really trippin’ but the cabbie that’s gotta get paid for driving him home. The entire trip across town ole boy is saying, “You sure you gonna pay me when we get there bruh?” Lane: “Yeah dawg! I got plenty of money! It's just on that bus and the way my bank account is set up with my checking and my savings...!” Cabbie: “You sure? Cuz if it ain’t they won’t be able to find you in the morning bruh!”

Karma is real playboy! It’s been known for sitting in the cut and just waiting until a boy gets way too comfortable and then it will jump out of the bushes and go to work on you. I’m just sayin’! Just ask Cain from Menace II Society! “After stompin’ on Ilena’s cousin like that, I knew I was gonna have to deal with that fool someday. Damn! I never thought he’d come back like this, blasting!” That’s ole dull Lane this morning laying out on the sidewalk rethinking all of the shenanigans he's pulled on boyz over the years! Stop me when I start lyin’ playboy!

The Set Up (Deadspin & boosters hustlin' fans to run Pelini out)

"C'mon man! I curse all the freakin' time! That ain't nothing new!"

Michael Korda, the famous novelist, once said, “Luck can often mean simply taking advantage of a situation at the right moment. It is possible to make your luck by being always prepared.” King Abdullah II, the king of the Kingdom of Jordan, got up and said, “Whenever you have a crisis, you’re always going to have the extremists taking advantage of the situation.” Then Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails got tall dap from the fellas in the barber shop when he said, “Jumping through any hoop or taking advantage of any desperate situation that comes up just to sell a product is harmful. It is.”

On Monday the duns at Deadspin posted a 2 year old profanity laced rant of Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini going off on Cornhusker fans and newspaper reporters after a huge win over Ohio State in October of 2011. He was pissed because the week before he took crazy heat from them after their 31-point loss to Wisconsin.

Here’s the deal though playboy, he was talking to Husker Sports Network play-by-play man Greg Sharp before his postgame radio interview after that Ohio State game. So it was a private conversation that just happened to be recorded. Now let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! If some dun recorded some of your phone conversations, back room conversations or even you hanging out with the fellas they’d get more than an ear full too.

Was Pelini wrong for the rant? Sure he was. But on some real talk, was Deadspin some busters for posting it? Absolutely! Just like Sports Illustrated did last week by throwing Oklahoma State under the bus, they followed the same blueprint. Let’s do whatever we have to do to make some bread regardless of what it does to the folks involved.

The Cornhuskers blew an 18 point lead to get the breaks beat off of them 41-21 over the weekend by UCLA and then these clowns from Deadspin post a 2 year old rant just to make sure he’s dead. Wheredeydodatat? If you’ve been sitting on the joint for 2 years why post it now? I’ll tell you why playboy! They got at some big time Nebraska boosters that want ole boy fired and told them about the rant and cut a deal. Stop me when I start lyin'!

They can play crazy all they want to but these duns may as well have put the “For Sale” out in front of Pelini’s crib bruh. The Nebraska chancellor, Harvey Perlman, said that he was disappointed by the comments and declined to answer whether Pelini was in danger of losing his job. When a boy isn't ready to say yes or no he's really trying to figure out how to drop the bomb.

It's like a cat that really wants to breakup with his girl again but he just doesn't know how to do it. He used the, "It ain't you, it's me" line the last time they broke up. So that one won't fly!

Rule 3 Article 1 Section 2 in the Hood Code of Conduct says, “Never cut a boyz throat! Always let him do it!” If Pelini is gonna get fired it should be because he couldn’t win enough games not because some coward set him up. He’s 51-21 at Nebraska. That means that he’s won 51 of 72 games. That's a .708 winning percentage playa! If that’s not good enough by Cornhusker standards then fire him at your own risk but don’t let some clowns trying to sell ad space talk you into it.

The word fan is short for fanatic! Therefore, they think with their hearts and not their minds 100% of the time. They’re always emotional and every decision is made on how they feel instead of what makes sense. The year they ran Frank Solich out of town he won 9 ball games. How do you lose your job after winning 9 games? Because boyz got greedy thinking that the Tom Osborne ghost would ride forever.

You see it all of the time with fan bases becoming delusional thinking that they’re better than what they are. It’s like the chick at the club that’s really a 2 but thinks she’s a 10 because boyz are hollerin’ at her. They’re only hollerin’ because they’ve been drinking and she’s half dressed. By the time they sober up and they turn the lights on after the last call for alcohol boyz realize that she’s Alice the Goon’s sister and they’re mad at the fellas for letting them waste their time even talking to her all night.

I remember when the duns up in West Lafayette ran Joe Tiller out at Purdue because they were only going to mid-level bowls every year. Stop right there pimpin’, the key word is “EVERY.” Purdue had only gone to 5 bowls in the history of a freakin' program that started in 1887 before Tiller arrived in 1997. He then took them to 10 straight bowls and the fans got greedy. It’s freakin’ Purdue for crying out out! A Drew Brees only comes along every 30 to 35 years or so bruh! Just like Bob Griese did in 1966!

By no means am I suggesting that Nebraska is Purdue. I’m merely saying that fans can run a boy out of town without understanding what the ramifications will be because both Frank Solich and Joe Tiller are looking like 10’s at the club right now.

If it’s time for Pelini to go at Nebraska then cut the cord at the end of the season. Don’t set the guy up by getting some clown to post an old rant to get the fans all fired up to lead a lynch mob and make it look like you had no choice but to fire him. That’s a punk move either way you look at it. Stop me when I start lyin’!

Gang Signs (Oklahoma State Exposed)

"C'mon outside with that foolishness!"

Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous Scottish physician and writer, once said, “There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.” George Orwell gave it to us like this, “We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.” Then George Bernard Shaw shut the building down with, “No question is so difficult to answer as to that to which the answer is obvious.”

These dull media cats are always running in the house to tell Big Momma something that she doesn’t want to hear. On Tuesday Sports Illustrated dropped the first installment of a five part series on a dull investigation into the Oklahoma State football program. It alleges that at least 8 former players say that they received cash payments from duns associated with the program starting in 2001 through 2011. They go on to say that 29 other cats were involved too.

This all supposedly started when the “Mad Hatter” Les Miles was there. The report says that some players received 2 stacks annually, others got 10 and a few of the studs got 25 stacks or more. These clowns even went as far as to tell boyz that the football hostesses, the chicks that show the recruits around, were even having sex with them too.

Now that you’ve run into the house to tell it, Ima hit you with the most famous Big Momma line known to man, “Why you telling me this?” Y’all know how Big Momma got down bruh! “Don’t run in here telling me nothing about what somebody else is doing because people don’t like tattle tales.”

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! Tell me something that I don’t already know! Every football program in America that’s winning is cheating whether the program itself is involved or not. There are more than 100 cats on a team and thousands of dull boosters out there trying to attach themselves to some 18-22 year old kids. Boyz are going to get bread whether the school authorizes it or not.

If you go to any program in the country and pull the curtain back you'll find the Wizard of Oz pulling the freakin' strings! If you go to any project house in America and turn the kitchen light on at 3am the roaches are gonna scatter. Not necessarily because they keep a dirty crib but because the duns next door have roaches!

Oklahoma State football was in the gutter for years and then all of a sudden they’re consistently winning and you’ve got to ask why? C’mon bruh! Don’t waste our time with this foolishness. The question shouldn’t be what these duns are telling but why are they telling it?

What reason would 8 former players have to indict themselves and throw another 29 players and multiple coaches under the bus up to 12 years later? Without even looking it up I can tell you that they were some duns that; A) Got kicked off of the team at some point for being dull. B) Didn’t get any playing time and transferred while being bitter and dull and C) Was extremely dull and now are broke looking for some bread that they’ll run through by next week because they're still dull.

Again if these duns at Sports Illustrated call themselves investigative reporters then investigate the real story of why these fools are so dull! Why do you feel the need to state the obvious? Telling this story is like going to Vegas and running in the house to tell us that the Mafia still exists.

It’s like going to G.I. or Compton and seeing gang signs all over the place and telling me that there are street gangs in this area. It’s like telling me that Nicki Minaj and Michael Jackson had plastic surgery.

Telling us that recruits were having sex with the chicks in the hostess program is like telling me that LeBron got a dunk last night. I wouldn't dare say that all of the chicks in the hostess program are freaks but I will say that ALL of the freaks are in the hostess program! Anybody that has ever been on a college campus for more than five good minutes knows that recruits do more than tour the football facility when they’re on campus. Is it right? Absolutely not! Does it happen? Absolutely and not just at Oklahoma State.

So the next time you wanna drop a bomb shell on a boy do some real investigative work and stop wasting our time with this foolishness. You wanna sell magazines so bad that you're willing to throw all of these current OSU players and coaches under bus to make a buck.

On some real talk, all of these duns that are snitchin' just permanently moved to an island because nobody is messing with them ever again. Not one cat that played with them at OSU, the coaches, boosters or even the duns that they went to kindergarten with. Why? Because they can no longer be trusted. The second rule in the Hood Code of Conduct says, "Always keep other folks names out cho mouth!" Stop me when I start lyin’ playboy!

Paper Chasin' (Kelly disrespects Michigan/Notre Dame Rivalry)

"Winning is all that counts playboy and we've proven it!"

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, “Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago.” Plato opened his mouth and went right over the heads of the boyz in the barber shop when he said, “The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.” So Ben Franklin kept it simple and said, “Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.”

Ole dull Brian Kelly got up in front of the media this week and said that the Notre Dame/Michigan Game wasn’t a rivalry so ending it wasn’t that big of a deal. After 2014 ND will end the joint because of it's partial commitment to the dull ACC. Then after boyz gave him a quick history lesson he changed his tune. Here’s my problem with these duns that take these jobs chasing paper. They don't understand the history that comes along with it bruh.  At least do your homework and know what you’re signing up for playboy!

To say that Notre Dame/Michigan isn’t a rivalry game is to tell the world that you’re completely ignorant homeboy. The game was first played in 1887. It puts two of the winningest college football programs of all-time on the field at the same time. Wheredeydodatat? Michigan and Notre Dame are ranked #1 and #2 in winning percentage and #1 and #3 in all-time wins respectively. The game has been played 40 times and Michigan leads it 23-16-1! If that ain’t a rivalry I don’t know what is homeboy?

So how in the freakin’ world do you take a job at one of the most storied programs in the history of the freakin’ game and not know that? It’s like ole dull Rich Rodriguez saying when he first got to Michigan that he didn’t realize that “The Game,” Michigan vs. Ohio State, was as big a deal as it was.

When he said that I finally understood what Bo Schembechler meant when he said that a Michigan man should coach Michigan. If you’ve been raised by the program or have had some affiliation to it you would respect it. Rich was chasin' paper and simply didn’t respect the Maze and Blue. He only respected the green and that ain't good enough in any walk of life. The green motivates but passion keeps the engine going. Never forget that pimpin'!

This ain’t pro football bruh! It’s about more than bread in big time college football. You have to understand and respect the traditions and the history of the program in order to understand the magnitude of what you're driving.

You can't just jump into a Bentley and not understand that that joint was hand made! That no part of this vehicle was made on an assembly line and that's why it's so freakin' expensive! When you understand that you won't just jump into the joint and start texting and driving or letting boyz eat in it.

Could you imagine Nick Saban going down to Bama and saying that the Iron Bowl (Auburn) was no big deal or Bob Stoops saying that the Red River Shootout/Rivalry (Texas) wasn’t important when they took over? Could you even fathom Will Mushamp at Florida telling boyz that the “Cocktail Party” (Georgia) was a thing of the past and that “it ain’t nothin’?”

Now let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1^st! The Michigan game isn’t Notre Dame’s main rivalry game because USC is, but it’s still a rivalry! Just like Texas vs. Texas A&M was before ole dull A&M walked away from it chasin’ paper. Nebraska did the same thing to Oklahoma when they ran to the Big 10 chasin' that skirt too. Just because it isn’t the main rivalry game doesn’t mean that it’s of no importance. Games like Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State, Alabama vs. Tennessee or Florida vs. Florida State are very important to the history of college football and shouldn't be discounted!

If nothing else the Michigan/Notre Dame game has more meaning than any college football game played other than the national title because it’s for bragging rights on which program sits on top of  the history of college football. Like I said before they’re #1 and #2 respectively in winning percentage and #1 and #3 in all-time wins! That’s gotta mean something playboy if you’re a competitor! Did I mention the fact that they both have 11 national titles apiece? What? And that ain’t important? It's definitely not important if all you’re doing is paper chasin’! Stop me when I start lyin’!

Happy College Football Season!

"Who wants some of this? Cuz we can give you every bit of it playboy but can you handle it?"

It's the greatest time of the year playas and playettes! It's College Football Saturday and it doesn't get any better than this! It's not just about the game, it's also the traditions and pageantry that makes it the greatest game on the planet!

Fans are tailgating, fight songs are being song and game day traditions are in full affect this morning. If you're anything like me you're trying to visualize the Sooner Schooner running out of the tunnel in Norman or being on board with the Volunteer Navy singing Rocky Top or leaning back as "The Victors" win in the "Big House" today.

"Waking up the Echo's" with Touchdown Jesus and thinking about Bevo and the "Eyes of Texas!" Listening for Mike the Tiger to roar way down in "Death Valley" or the Gator's chomping in the "Swamp!" Looking up for the "War Eagle" of Auburn, thinking about lining up "Between the Hedges" and running with the Dawgs or rolling with the Tide in Tuscaloosa! Boyz out west are thinking about strutting in on the Trojan Horse with the "Men of Troy" and down south riding high with Chief Osceola and Renegade at Doak-Campbell.

The Parliament Funkadelic (Oregon Ducks) are playing that "One Nation Under a Groove" in Eugene as boyz prepare to fill up Autzen Stadium this evening! Death Valley, South Carolina isn't about to take a backseat to Death Valley in Baton Rouge because the Georgia Bull Bogs have rolled into town to get it in on opening day! LSU and TCU have business to attend to in Big D while ole Nick and Co. are rolling in off of I-20 from Tuscaloosa to the "A" to let the world know that they still got it and if you want it try to knock the chip off of their shoulder at any time. In other words, it's on an poppin' playboy.

Whoever your team is you'll be front and center gettin' it all in today. So here is the rule pimpin'! Don't call my house or ring my door bell between 9am and 1am tomorrow bruh! College GameDay comes on an hour early this year and then the games start rolling at noon. Don't get offended because I'm telling to now that I'm not messing with you between those hours on Saturdays until the second week of December playboy! Get it? Got it! Good!
