Welcome to the Restoration

[angryty]

All hail King Tobias the Ginger. He has been returned to the throne of BC football by his faithful Genoese mercenaries. The sheer soul-murdering 74 of the last eight minutes has caused me to forget all about the Interregnum. We are what we are.

[Bunratty]

We are what we are.

And we are the luckiest m'fuckers in the NCAA for coming away with that win today.

[angryty]

We were lucky to win when you consider that we had a devastating gambling scandal and now Spaz has to deal with the fact that Jagz laid waste to our program and left Spaz with a flaming crater. All hail the Genoese mercenaries and their great victory today! Pizza and ice cream for everyone!

It's as though he never left. SO DEPRESSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TontoKowalski]

I believe I see an end - our game versus NCSU. If it goes into overtime, it may never come out. This is like the opposite of the immovable object meeting the unstoppable force, and more like two reluctant catchers meeting in the bath house. Each team will trade field goalds and fumbles, will call qb keepers on 3rd and longs, and overtime will go on forever.

Its true. That game might turn into the Hundred Years War or at least a non-fiction version of the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial of the football game that won't end. Also, the level of coaching 74 will be through the roof for that game. You would have to tow a Chelsea bath house down Fifth Avenue during the Gay Pride Parade while Greg Loganis did back flips into the middle of a queer daisy chain comprised of Barney Frank, the cast of Avenue Q, Tim Tebow and the corpses of Liberace, Rock Hudson, Paul Linde, Mike Reed and Charles Nelson Riley to acheive the level of 74 that will be on display on that sad day.

I think you meant cookies and naps for all...





...and Red Sox track suits.

[Chicken Patties]

I got blank stares and hostile looks for my welcome back ginger balls chant.

[AdamBC]

It appears that WF hates their OC more than we hate ours? I tried to trade away

That's scary

[AdamBC]

WTF did you do there?

[Logitano]

We have been removed from a message board by Zman and bad boring play not to lose football with a ton of bad penalties is now part of our reality again. Welcome back to 2005.

Someone else stated this but I found it to be interesting. Wasn't Coach Flip fed up with sissified style of play and that was one of the reasons the little general was glad to see him go? Spaz' similar coaching style is going to send Coach Flip off the deep end.

[HJS]

Let"s judge Coach Flip by his actions and not some backroom spin that Yawkey puts out. Flip was fed-up with Toby because Toby wouldn't let Flip run the football program... which included hiring and firing assistants. Flip was fine with Jags (because Jags was fine with Flip being the shadow head coach). That all changed when Jags cheated on him with Brett Favre. Flip felt simultaneously betrayed and jealous (in his mind, he was as much responsible for 2 ACCCGs as Jags... he should've been interviewed by the Jets too). Spaz is more than fine with Gene running the team as it gives him more time for cookies, naps and Red Sox. I've said it before... and I'll say it again... GDF is Al Davis in every conceivably bad way. As such, the team's record... and on-field performance has absolutely NOTHING to do with a coach's success in Flip's eyes.

If the Flipster is that involved when they win the Atlantic, I say keep him involved

This ia a HOF post IMO. Great work AT.

Flip must have multiple personality disorder. He hates Toby but hires Spaz that is Toby 2. In between, he loves Jags but Il Duce Mussolini Flip proceeds to flip out on Jags.
You see, he wants a "yes" man like Toby and Toby 2 but if the "yes man" shows any ambition as a result of "Flip's " success with the Fball team then he spazzes out and hires a Spaz.
Someone get Dr. Phil or Oz over to Yawkey. This guy needs an intervention.

I believe I see an end - our game versus NCSU. If it goes into overtime, it may never come out. This is like the opposite of the immovable object meeting the unstoppable force, and more like two reluctant catchers meeting in the bath house. Each team will trade field goalds and fumbles, will call qb keepers on 3rd and longs, and overtime will go on forever.

Brilliant. WW I trench warfare comes to mind as well.

Bring bottled water, sterno and blankets to the NCSU game. It's difficult to foresee who will prevail, given two OCs with a marked reluctance to score points and two coaches who love the prevent defense.

Just because of this, I have this bizarre image in my head of the Offensive Line lame and struggling on the sideline while shrapnel flies all around and a crazed, unhinged Aponovicious repeatedly screams "Shoot the horses!!!" Pointing at Tennant, Costanzo and the rest.

Kinsella-- the guy who wrote the novel that Field of Dreams was based on wrote another book entitled "The Iowa baseball Confederacy" in which the Chicago Cubs are playing an exhibition game in Iowa in 1908 against a team of Indians in the rain and the game never ends. Hundreds and hundreds of innings. Tinker to Evers to Chance make over 200 double plays in extra innings.

Excellent book. Swept Away was a big swinger.

Kinsella wrote some great stuff. As always, the book is better than the movie, so I invite any Field of Dreams fan to read Shoeless Joe. I enjoyed the Iowa Baseball Confederacy even more.
