Note on Zaire

[Zambo]

I've never understood the draw to that movie. I'm all for funny but i just didn't get it. Made it through less than 5 mins and everytime i see a clip I'm glad I only wasted 5 mins of my life on it. But thanks for clearing that up, diddy. I've been scared to quote theo because i was scared he was part of one those satanic cults you see on the tv.

What.
The.
F?

Have no fear young t -
Let us dissect Theologator's name shall we?

It appears to be a portmanteau or a combination of two words combined into one (e.g. smoke and fog = smog) or...here's another example:
Sassy (having or showing a rude lack of respect) and Quatch (adjective: pudgy).
I'll let you take it from there.

In this case it is theology and Gator.
Theology - late Middle English (originally applying only to Christianity): from French théologie, from Latin theologia, from Greek, from theos ‘god’ + -logia (see -logy). Augustine of Hippo defined the Latin equivalent, theologia, as "reasoning or discussion concerning the Deity" or the divine.
Divine - the word "divine" is literally "godly" (from the Latin deus).

And Gator is a good and joyful word - always and everywhere.

So if you look at the totality of the portmanteau - we have among us a Godly/Divine Gator and thus no reason to fear.
But that's just an educated guess.

Who said Franks doesn't know the playbook?

That's a good question. Docs on Zaire but nothing on Franks.

 

[oxking]

Well probably because the playbook sucks?

The playbood is probably fine. It's the play calling that's suspect, along with open receivers not seen.

 

[oxking]

portmanteau

That's a pretty word, and French too. It reminds of the French 4 Sale sign for WWII rifles. "Once dropped, never fired."

 

[oxking]

If he can just be competent, we'll have a good year running the ball

Yes, QB competency has been in short supply.

 

[oxking]

Hey, guess what, Ive never seen the playbook and yet I can tell Ivey where to lineup on every play. Find the dude who hikes the ball, pass that dude to his left then lineup there.

SIMPLE!

Well, it's a crying shame if Ivey needs to be told where to line up and who to block. He's a junior and should know by now.

 

[oxking]

Its been talked about repeatedly (by those in the know) that he doesn't know it and he's still having problems with identifying where the blitz is coming from...then checking out of it.

Btw...just cause u don't know about this kind of $hit doesn't make it any less true! Do you think they went out and got Zaire to sit the bench? If so...

Mariana, if that's true, then the dude shouldn't start. Talent won't help if you're slow on the uptake, as Driskel, who never even learned to throw the ball away instead of taking the loss would attest. It's obvious that Mac is not satisfied with the QB crew or he wouldn't have gone out of his way for these transfers -- especially for LDR and Applebie. Zaire is still a ? mark.

 

[oxking]

I read the tweet in the OP as Ivey needs to learn the damn playbook!! Why is a QB who literally JUST ARRIVED ON CAMPUS telling a 3rd year player where to line up?????? :D

Amen. To ask that question is to answer it. Remember the Pounceys? Those guys knew everybodys assignment when they were freshmen.

 

[oxking]

Franks starts and Zaire plays too.

It'll be LDR against Little Jim and "Mihigan". Get used to the idea.

Im not so sure. Remember the DIDNT start as true freshmen. People forget that Mau either played little or redshirted and Mike actually played DT as a true freshman bc of lack of depth over there.

Halapeno was the one who actually started as a true freshman (and was naturally terrible then).
Halapeno was forced to start lomg before he was ready due to poor recruiting. People also seem to forget that the piss poor OL especially and offenaive recruiting in general began in 2009 under Creyer.

I don't think he ever learned how to handle the DL stunting

Jim has had a propensity to get the most out of some guys who didn’t have a tremendous amount of talent.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Jim who?

Not a chance...the irony is that 2222 was actually called negative at another site.

I think this is a more serious issue than anything else in this thread. I think we all know Ivey knows who to block (or he better) and he was just pointing out that Zaire also knows who he (Ivey) should block. BMF made a joke of it and others took him seriously (probably because he's BMF, that dude's serious).
Anyway, t not liking The Holy Grail is, in my mind much more paramount of importance to this board than some tweet that has gotten twisted up (along with a bunch of panties in this thread).
Zambo took the words out of my mouth about t's response:

My god man, have you no sense of humor? Maybe it's a generational thing, as I grew up watching Monte Pythons Flying Circus, one of the shows we very much looked forward to every week. In Junior High we used to act out skits of the most recent episode. So when the movies started coming out, I was in heaven. The Life of Brian is right up there with Holy Grail, IMO. I can't wait until my kid gets older so I can introduce him to Monte Python as I think he will love it.
I'm concerned for your well being, t.

The 80th anniversary of the introduction of Spam occurred just this past week. I used that as an opportunity to send an email to several peers with a link to the legendary Python Spam skit. It's one of my two or three favorites along with Dennis Moore, the Argument Clinic and the Spanish Inquisition sketch. I am suspicious of anyone who is dismissive of Python. The same for anyone who doesn't appreciate the genius of the Three Stooges.

I guess a bit of t-gator torture is in order.

It must be a generational thing. I just don't get it, man.
