Don't wake me up

This dream is getting too good.

Ha, I've seen that

But I still don’t get the origins of some of this stuff.

It all really got started by Michael Lewis

In his book, “The Blind Side”, he talks about Ed Orgeron with regards to the recruitment of Michael Oher. A lot of the original O terms came directly from that dialogue, including “Foobaw”. (Well, “FOOBAW”.)

Honestly, though, the book is a decent read, obvious anti-Fulmer sentiment notwithstanding.

More

DACOACHO also has an obviously deep-raspy-cajun voice which many find hard to understand/comprehend. Mrs. Aerobab, for one, watched the interview with me and was like “Now interpret…what in the world did he just say?!?!”

His harsh voice/diaclect, combined with what Hooper states below, I imagine many recruits hear “Yawyaw Yaw Yawyaw FOOBAW.” when being given the ‘come play for us spiel’.

I've been living under a rock

What did he mean when he said his second day was better than his first?

As best as I can tell,

He must have brought Ole Miss in for a game when he was coaching there and lost. But I’m just guessing.

Yeah, that must have been it.

They lost in Knoxville in 2005. IIRC, Cutcliffe was out of there by then.

I just hope....

We get our moneys worth.

If that happens I think things will be alright.
