Bobby Bowden re-upped for one year

A true Death Match.

A true Death Match.

Yes, yes, give me some more, yes!

This is great news for Canes fans. The longer this figurehead CEO Grandpa sticks around, the longer he alienates Jimbo Fisher, the better it is for all of the country. FSU was 9-4 this past year, but I think that record is deceiving. Sure, they killed Wisconsin in the bowl game. Ok. You’re point? Third tier games like the Champ Sports Bowl are meaningless, unless I have money on the ‘Cuse against Ga Tech, thinking I’m sitting pretty after a strong season finish, and hellloo 5 touchdown loss. Thank you, Paul Pasqualoni! Then again, Miami played almost the same schedule, lost to FSU, and went 7-6. But we are the eternal optimists ova hea!

Most know the stipulation in Jimbo Fisher’s contract, stating if he is not the HC by 2011 FSU owes him $5 million. And does anyone out there think he will actually get the gig at that time? I sure don’t. Bowden has the “drive until I’ve backed into four Toyota Camry’s in the local Publix, daggumit, no, I won’t give up my license, no I’m not blind, I read the bottom row didn’t I? Ann! This young feller is trying to take my license away!” written all over him.

Here’s to Bobby Bowden, and not to career brevity!

Malcolm Bunche (OL) commits to Miami

Step back kracka!

Step back kracka!

With all this craziness regarding the new OC hire, we can’t forget the most important part of the off-season, getting fresh Miami Thugs ®. Miami signed another OL this past week in Malcolm Bunche, a 3 star recruit on Rivals.

Bunche is #39 at his position, and is a whopping 6′5” 315. Miami definitely can’t sign enough O-linemen, and I hope they bring in some corn-fed Iowa boys as walk-ons, just to get beat up every day and called Krackers for their overalls and haircuts.

Bunche’s other finalists were Rutgers and Maryland. Always good to steal someone Schiano wanted. (Recruit your own state buddy! Learn to manage a game! Joe Pa is never retiring!) Anyways. Manny Navarro has some more details on Bunche, and speaks the truth when he says most recruiting posts are Height/Weight/40 time/Star Ranking/Next!, of which I also fall victim. But that’s why they get paid! To feed us information, of which we just throw a great, fantastic opinion on, no doubt hilarious in its efforts.

Men at Work is a great movie.
