Derek Dooley Still Shaping It Down, This Time To The Tune Of $9M

Star-divide

  • Georgia has reported 14 secondary violations this year. Hey, isn't that like a lot or something? You know, something to be outraged over?
  • Bennie Wylie, UT's new strength coach, is, according to Dooley via Nick Reveiz, "the guy we want getting off the bus first, people thinking that he's playing." Wylie puts himself through the same workouts he demands of his players.
  • John Pennington says legalizing agents and paying players is a bad idea.
  • Another day, another Georgia commitment for Derek Dooley, this one from defensive back Justin Coleman (5'11", 175, three-stars, per Rivals). Dude liked Tennessee's tradition and "the Rocky Top song." Well, then come on down, Mr. Coleman. Thumper's got 36 versions for you.

    On a tangent:

    Does it bother Georgia people that the General Lee was painted orange? Seriously, I’ve always been curious about that.

    It shouldn't

    Boss Hogg was the Georgia fan on the show. Think about it, a fat, slobbery, self-important redneck who always got showed up by the more crafty, attractive, intelligent Duke boys, or Tennessee fans if you will……

    Ahhhh, Daisy Duke. I mean, those crafty, intelligent Duke boys who happen to be TN fans and outwitted that thar Boss Hogg fella

    Incidentally, shouldn’t Boss Hogg be an Arkansas fan? The writers missed an opportunity there.

    The COEXIST bumper sticker is ridiculous. How are people supposed to get along when one side is flying planes into tall buildings or wearing sweater vests full of C4 and nails? The faiths are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

    Tough call, that.

    The Hogg bit vs. the reputation of Georgia police. I always felt that they would have named the county ‘Cobb County’ but were too afraid that the (real) sheriff would come out to Hollywood and make them take a field sobriety test.

    Best law enforcement official ever: Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason)

    This is like Caddyshack for law enforcement. If you’ve never seen this role, you are missing out on your cultural education as a Southerner…

    By the way, Coors used to be illegal in the South, adding to its allure (naturally). Now that we can drink it any time (for those who choose to), I can think of several brands that should have had people willing to drive 28 hr round trips to bootleg a tractor trailer rig full.

    Well, I’m Eastbound and Down, loaded up and truckin’. Breaker 19, I’m gone.

    Of all things, why Coors?

    I’ve never heard that before.

    ;-)

    Ah, the old Generation Gap rears its ugly head.

    And, by the way, Sheriff Buford T. Justice is definitely worthy of a language warning. In the many years since my youth, I’d forgotten….

    Two factors in the Coors deal – Coors was a smaller brewery at one time (Rocky Mountain Spring Water ring a bell?) and only distributed West of the Mississippi due to limited production capacity. It is/was illegal to buy beer in one state and resell it in another without the proper agreements and without paying the proper taxes. Because it was scarce, Coors became a hot commodity. Smokey & the Bandit added to the cache by making it cool to bootleg the beer (or capitalizing on the already existing trend by telling the story). Subsequently, Coors added production capacity and distribution arrangements in the South.

    Same phenomenon for Fathead beer at one time or other regionals today.

    "when you raid the cathouse, you take the piano player,too."

    “there is no way, NO WAY, that you came from my loins. when we get home, i’m gonna punch your momma in the mouth.”

    “you sounded… taller… on the radio.”

    “WHERE ARE YOU, YOU CRUMBUM?!?”

    bless you, Sheriff BTJ

    My new favorite quote for the Legal Troubles
    What we are dealin’ with here is a complete disrespect for the Law

    Gotcha.

    I didn’t think of the distribution angle. That makes way too much sense.

    It piqued my interest because, having grown up in the Rockies, it was impossible for me to not know about the spring water advertising schtick.

    They have beer in Montana-Wyoming?? ;)

    Worth a Netflix download if you are slightly punchy from working on that dissertation – best viewed with a group of friends, equally punchy…

    Ooooo, well-played. Obvious why you are the RTT master and I am still a trainee.

    And Paul Williams as Little Enos.

    It’s, like, the perfect movie. Saw it at a drive in growing up in Oklahoma. Next day on the playground, we were ALL The Bandit. I still want a ’77 Trans Am t top.

    And I still want a Frog.

    If you didn’t watch the movie, it makes no sense. And, I mean the Frog as the Frog looked in 1977…
