Funny blogger about Meyer

This is over at houserockbuilt.blogspot.com, which is a Notre Dame centered blog, but has tons of football stuff. He takes part in a large blogger top 25 poll (the credentials to be involved are pretty long). Anyway, he has Florida #2 but makes light of the Marcus Thomas non-suspension. I'll paste it.
  • Welcome to number 2, Gators. An impressive sequence of wins catapults the Gators to the penultimate spot. This is a reward for their performance so far, but the conventional wisdom at the House Rock Built suggests that it's a temporary honor. Looking ahead to the Gators' schedule, I would be stunned as hell if they can live through the crux of their SEC schedule unscathed, particularly when it's back-to-back-to-back. Granted, I'll be the first to bow down and praise the great Robot Genius Urban Bowden Meyer and his infinitely wise slap-on-the-wrist suspensions for substance abuse should they run the gamut undefeated, but I'm guessing I'll be availed of that duty sometime in the next few weeks.

    Seriously, though. Talk about coaching acumen. To observe a situation where a it's useful to have a star defensive tackle back in your lineup and to have the gumption to revoke his marijuana suspension is a moment of profound coaching clarity up there with Knute Rockne's invention of the forward pass and the "Win One for the Gipper" speech. Kudos to Coach Fulmer Meyer for shattering coaching conventions in the name of the success on the field.


    Big game tomorrow? Then allow me to roll that big-assed blunt!

Looks almost like he is trying to pat his head and rub his stomach at the same time

Suspensions or not, he will be fully legit if he can make it through this next stretch undefeated.

Coach "Fulmer" Meyer?

When has Fulmer ever been involved in "shattering coaching conventions in the name of the success on the field."?

That's one thing about Fulmer, all of his suspensions have always seemed pretty fair to me, and he has kicked more people off the team than most any other MAJOR college coach.

Just as a sidenote, Fulmer's name had a line through it in the original article. It was funny. You should lighten up.
