NC State Football Coach Tom O’Brien Took a Shot at North Carolina’s Academic Scandal
NC State Tom O’Brien, during his weekly radio show Monday, took a delightful jab at North Carolina’s academic scandal (4:30 mark):
We do go to class here at NC. We have syllabuses and instructors that show up, so [the players] better be there.
Sick burn, Tommy. You’re not quite in the Steve Spurrier or Dabo Swinney league of trash talk, but the ACC will take what it can get. [H/T Joe Ovies]

Clemson is still in the ACC, isn’t it?
August 21st, 2012 at 8:39 PM
UNC is finished. Lt. McIntyre is on the war path.
That was a funny quote. Spurrier Lite, but fun nonetheless.
I take it no TBLAD tonight. I shall progress to watching The Wire. The first season dragged up until the end. Season Two is a lot of fun.
/Really late to this.
//Justified is still better up to this point.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:57 PM
Is this TBLAD? I have an unreal case of poison ivy. It’s everywhere including where my shaft and sack meet. Strangly, the spots on my chin, wrist, and elbow itch more. It’s inside, yes inside, my nose. Now that you all have a nice visual, enjoy your evenings.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:59 PM
Thats what you get for fucking in the woods
August 21st, 2012 at 9:02 PM
I got poison ivy on my junk earlier this year. It’s more of a mindfuck than anything.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:03 PM
another michigan fan being confused by the term “bush”
August 21st, 2012 at 9:03 PM
Pretty sure I got it after petting my cat that was in the woods. I’m almost certain I scratched myself and then picked my nose afterwards since that’s common practice.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:05 PM
Agree 100%. I was freaked out at first, but as I mentioned, there are a hell of a lot worse places to have it comfort-wise.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:05 PM
I’ve been in the woods quite a bit, and never got poison anything on my dick. my guess is that you all didn’t know you had it, but yanked one out before it broke out? seriously. how the do you get it on your cock and balls?
August 21st, 2012 at 9:06 PM
“bush” is Asian for Jewish, correct?
August 21st, 2012 at 9:07 PM
man, that’s friggin funny.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:08 PM
We live in the woods and have an outdoor cat. I honestly think I got it after petting him and then taking a leak 5 – 10 minutes later.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:08 PM
Present for TBLAD duty, gentlemen. Got no poison ivy stories, though.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:10 PM
I was weeding the garden, got it on my fingers, and came in to take a leak.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:10 PM
I have had jock-itch a few times. noting like waking up in the morning with a raw scrotum.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:11 PM
I can see this.
another reason to hate cats.

I eat, sleep, and masterbate to all things Michigan athletics, but I’m also the first to admit we’ll never win any contest with “Hot Girls of” or “Party” in the title.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:17 PM
I got a bad case of poison ivy from working outside one summer. Best cure was radiator fluid. It burned that shit right off. Hurt like hell though.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:19 PM
I’m extremely allergic to dogs, and compromised with the wife and she got a cat, and later a 2nd one. One of them is a typical cat, the other chews things, chases the other one around, plays fetch and overall acts just like a dog. I’ve grown to be quite fond of both of them.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:20 PM
Wash your hands, scumbags!
August 21st, 2012 at 9:21 PM
It’s everywhere including where my shaft and sack meet.
Quit jerking off after you’ve been petting cats in the woods. At least wash your hands with soap and water first.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:21 PM
Bryce harper swinging at pitches in the dirt. The kid looks lost
August 21st, 2012 at 9:22 PM
Slightly off topic, but I vividly remember a maintenance worker at the state farmers’ market telling me (at the ripe old age of 18) about how he couldn’t get rid of crabs until he used kerosene. As he said in a slurred speech, “I had to use Kerosene to get wid of the cwabs.”.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:23 PM
Pretty much since late June – that series at Coors. Rox pitchers pretty much wrote the book on how to pitch him. He’ll hack at low pitches all day long.
Homered a couple of days ago, though. Maybe he’s on the verge of making the adjustments.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:24 PM
Is anyone else tired of Maurice Jones-Drew being a holdout bitch? Dude, you have two years left on your contract. Maybe you shouldnt have taken a front loaded deal last time. Im so tired of these fuckers being absolutely stupid
August 21st, 2012 at 9:24 PM
And that was SC state farmers’ market.

Yep. All true.

Anquan Boldin started this trend when he was with the Cardinals. He wanted Fitzy money and didn’t deserve it. I was sick of it then, and I’m still sick of it. I can see with 1 year left, not 2.

Craig James, rising from the grave.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:31 PM
AP, but Sparty can do what everyone else (Oregon, Va Tech, Georgia) has failed to do the last few seasons, and just shut up the Boise State talk. Potato State will probably run the table the rest of the way.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:32 PM
great googly moogly
August 21st, 2012 at 9:32 PM
Lol. I cheer for Boise. My sister went there on a gymnastic scholarship in the 90s, and now works for BSU. My little brother failed out of BSU. Twice. I never had a college I followed, so I latched on around the time they moved up to D1. Cool place to party, the blue turf doesn’t look as bad in person.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:33 PM
jeebus got off work and started doing shots of bulleit and knob creek i am feeling pretty damn good
August 21st, 2012 at 9:33 PM
I missed that series. Pettite is a knowledgeable cat, though. No surprise he took the rookie to the woodshed.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:34 PM
hey, where’s monster tonight?
monster, where are yooooooou? You OK, dude?

Nicely done Nada. I made myself a couple of Manhattans and am feeling nice as well. Have to stop after 2 though. Meeting tomorrow with a senior VP that I’ve never met.

I am genuinely surprised that CBS isn’t having Nantz and Simms do the Bills-Jets game week 1. Marv Albert gets that game while Nantz and Simms get to go give tom brady a double reacharound

In a dark time, the eye begins to see,
I meet my shadow in the deepening shade;
I hear my echo in the echoing wood–
A lord of nature weeping to a tree,
I live between the heron and the wren,
Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:44 PM
I love Roethke.
What’s madness but nobility of soul
At odds with circumstance?
I know the purity of pure despair

I grew up in a very small Western Kansas town. The county would go in town with the fogger trucks. There was no West Nile issue back then. Dallas being sprayed by the air reminded me of that. I guess our county was just worried about sqeeter bites.

Red Sox missing the postseason.
Again.

I drive by the Theodore Roethke museum (his birth home)almost everyday. The park that’s just around the corner from my house is also named for him.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:57 PM
JMac,
I know the Red Sox blow. I accepted that weeks ago. The Yankees are in trouble and have no chance to win the world series with this pitching staff. Right now its Kuroda, a semi-healthy CC, and a pile of shit.
Nice try though
August 21st, 2012 at 9:57 PM
We have an abatement program as well. Trucks driving around the county non-stop. Airplanes dropping pellets in the Spring.

My dad was a crop-duster and he wouldn’t even go outside when the fogger trucks went by. We lived in Western Kansas. Hardly any mosquitos. It wasn’t like we were going to get malaria. I’m going to ask my old FB friends what the chemical was. I do remember being told at the time it was only smoke, but is was just a F-150 spewing smoke. Had to be something with it.

Pretty sure it’s a bit safer now. At least until 20 years from now when they say it’s going to kill us.
Saginaw MI: flat, numerous nature preserves, flat, creeks and rivers, flat, Saginaw Bay nearby, flat, great breeding grounds whenever it get warm and wet.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:14 PM
Wayne -
Yeah, that is what I meant. We only had very small pasture ponds. It would rain in the spring, and then the tadpoles would rot in the late spring. Stunk like hell.
Agree with your first point. Dad died of cancer. Never smoked and rarely drank. A bunch of the chemicals he used are either banned or highly restricted now.

I just got done doing the legwork on a compote. But I have to stir the custard to prevent a skin from developing so I can stick around a bit. And amazingly, none of that is innuendo or metaphor.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:21 PM
In the early 90′s, where I worked we had about half the grass leaning bent like golf greens. I once read that 85% of old golf superintendents died of cancer. Quickly ended thoughts of getting into agronomy and course maintenance.

I would consider golf course work as a bit of an outlier vs other ag related workers. No? Maybe not …

Well, I liked the stuff on sports turfs. But yeah it’s a broad discipline and regional too.

KC Res – you like season 2 of The Wire? I just started season 4 and I thought season 2 was horrific. Especially compared to 1, 3 and 4. I thought that was a pretty universal thought as well.
Every time Frank Sobotka, Ziggy, and/or Nick was on the screen I wanted to break my TV.
