Quirky SEC coaches

[The OTR]

Where does CBB rank in terms of overall quirkiness among current and former SEC coaches?  You have Jim Mcelwain posing on a shark, Les Miles, Easy Ed and his mouth full of marbles at LSU, Sumlin, Gus (he might need to go to a full hat rather than a visor after watching his press conference Saturday), Saban, Les Miles (he's worthy of two mentions), Houston Nutt, JL Smith, Holtz, the old ball coach, Urban, etc. 

CBB seems as quirky as any of them with some of the things he's said and done over the years. 

Not sure quirky is necessarily bad.  Also seems like we've had more than our share of quirky coaches.  Maybe there's some I'm not thinking of. 

[moses_007]

Lou Holtz was our quirkiest coach ever, but he knew how to win games.

[longpig]

JL shoud narrow his search to candidates with a forehead tattoo.

Hey Pillowhead....still awaiting your comments/insight into the marvelous prediction you made concerning the fact that the Hogs would beat UCSe due to our playing in the rain and later in the day. Nice....took your advice....went the other way and made a ton of money. Please let me know what you think about the hammer game.

Haven't you learned YET?! Pillowhead can't help himself. Very much like expecting a dog to keep from licking himself.

What the hell does quirky have to do with anything??  This guy is just plain inept, in every phase of his job...except coach speak and excuse making, he's league leading in those categories.

Still waiting to get your laser-focused prediction on this Saturday's Tide game. I certainly want to get my bet in well before Vegas takes it off line.

I am tracking the weather. I will post my weather thread Wednesday at the soonest, Thursday at the latest. Give you plenty of time to bet.

Problem is, as stated in my previous post, well before then the game will have been pulled from all betting sites. After all, to make it a legitimate bet SOMEONE has to be willing to take the Hogs and the 150 points.

You are one huffy guy. 

Anybody quirkier than a guy who takes off his clothes and poses for pictures on a shark is pretty quirky.  The lobsters, the jelly sandwiches, talking out of one side of his mouth during halftime interviews, wearing windbreakers and sweatshirts when it's hot and humid, buying cowboy boots in Chicago when you live in Arkansas, the flip flops.  He makes Les Miles look like a US senator.

Good to hear. The weekly Pillowhead Jackson weather thread will be a welcomed sight this week.

Didn't OTR do that in the past?

[Wild Bill Hog]

IMO this thread is a complete and utter failure

Your point is?

[Boardon Hamsay]

Didn't OTR do that in the past?

Before being enshrined on the Hogville Mt Rushmore with Rev Jerry Falwell, Harry Rex Vonner, Ponderin and others, OTR was known for many insightful threads. The OTR historians and their records will need to be reviewed to see if he ever touched on the weather.

[thebignasty]

It's my personal opinion that OTR couldn't have strung enough meaningful words together to have completed a thought complex enough to consider the weather and it's beneficial or adverse effects on a football game.

[247Hog]

What is he supposed to say? He can either say yes its me or no it isn't. According to you, he's screwed either way.
And it's very obviously you did not follow the link because it says....

"The naked guy on the shark may have finally been identified, and it is reportedly a man named "Shawn" from upstate New York who is a former New York City police officer. And, get this, he was was going to meet with Florida Gators coach Jim McElwain to share a laugh about the infamous picture.

That's what David Pingalore, sports anchor for WKMG-TV in Orlando, told the Orlando Sentinel's Mike Bianchi on Friday on Bianch's "Open Mike" radio show on 96.9 The Game.

"This guy lives in upstate New York, that photo was taken two years ago off the shores of Long Island — not in Florida," Pingalore said. "I have the man that's fully clothed that's naked on the shark, on the boat. Yes, normal photographs."

AND

"WKMG-TV sports anchor David] Pingalore said the shark picture has been around for a couple of years, and also explained why the photo was taken in the first place.

"That picture was on the internet two years ago. This woman from the United Kingdom had send the tweet out, then Deadspin, what they did, was [ask] 'is this Jim McElwain or not?' They didn't say it was."

He said the photo was meant to be a parody. "They were mocking, according to this gentlemen, I guess in the UK there's some websites that naked women get on sharks, so they were trying to mock what women were doing with sharks."

Seems like a cover up to me. I'm not saying McElwain has a shark fetish but I'm also not saying McElwain doesn't have a shark fetish either. Seems quirky to me...neck like a chimney, prolly answers to "Big Jim", and seems to know his way around a poker table. Probably slathers peach cobbler on his inner thighs in the off-season...

Remember when Michael Vick went by Ron Mexico?

I'm not saying this is the same situation.  Would like to know Shawn's last name before I declare it Mcelwains stark ass fishing pseudonym.  I'm leaning that way, though.

Don't get me wrong, i'd love for it to be true because it'd be probably one of the funniest things ive ever seen a coach do.

Side note, id like to think a multi-million dollar coach could afford a better boat in that picture.

We might need a private eye.  I need a full accounting of Jim McElwain AKA Shawn's whereabouts prior to and in the immediate aftermath of the shark incident. If it really was British model parody, significant quirky factor points.  Maybe makes big Jim worth a second mention.

Agreed. Additionally, word from Gainesville is ever since McElwain arrived on campus, a team GA has been sent to an area grocery store each week to pick up a pillowcase full of fresh mango pulp. To my knowledge, mango pulp isn't a Chondrichthyes aphrodisiac so that kind of behavior warrants a few clarifying questions.

[247Hog]

smdh...


247, Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side...okay? We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We'd just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.

Didn't see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, 247hog? You can tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, sharks come cruisin' by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and...

...sometimes that shark he go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away.

Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes 247. And the thing about a shark, 247, is he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces.

I don't know. I think that's all I need to say about sharks for a few minutes. 

LMAO

Wondering if Sean is being miss-reported as Shawn. Potentially huge development.  Don't want to mess up and reveal too much. Could change hogville forever. I'll leave it there.

For now, I think it's safe to say McElwain stays on the list. The rest can be determined with a burlap sack, a list of McElwain's fears, a guy named Vinny, and an unmarked, windowless cargo van.

[thebignasty]

does Mango pulp do anything for gastrointestinal this and that?

It's my belief that McElwain believes it will ward off scurvy.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Great question. I don't have any experience personally but I've got to think that much mango pulp would turn ones colon into a slip n slide.

Gotta admit. I was firm it wasn't him but how can you deny all the facts laid out in this thread. I'm a believer!

[Boardon Hamsay]

Yep. I guess that covers McElwain. We should probably move to Orgeron's affinity for binders and question whether he has a locker on campus somewhere full of trapper keepers and Generra hypercolor tshirts.

Fake news. 

A few years ago I remember a story about how the smithsonian was covering up evidence that there were giants roaming the earth a few thousand years ago.  That I believe.  I can't think of a more dishonest business than the museum business. 

This story is too perfect.  Obviously Mcelwain paid this guy off or there is some other ruse that someone close to him concocted. 

For you to believe the story shows how naive you are.

I do miss dear old OTR. Didn't he and PWJ visit the Ohio State message board for a first class troll job years ago?

[hoghearted]

Hi

Seriously bro, I don't think anyone here knows who or what the hell you're talking about

That's just me!

well someone mentioned OTR, and it got me to thinking about him and Pondwater Jack, that's all.

From what I've heard those two visited quite a few message boards and in every case they ended up banned for life. 

Something about those two just seemed to get under the skin of the powers that be sort of like chiggers. One guy I know said that they were the same person.  Good riddance I say. A place as classy as this doesn't need a hobo like that hanging around.

That's my fault. I am the eponymous manager of a large group of OTR historians. There was a time when I had to keep those chaps sleep deprived and on a diet of mini thins, jolt cola, and Frito pie hot pockets just to keep up to date with the life and times of one OTR. I think he retired some time ago but we can only hope one day he and Jadcks make a triumphant return. There probably aren't many boards OTR and Jadcks didn't troll and get bant from....goemaw, Ohio st, the Knoxville, TN School of Faith Healing, just to name a few...

I remember him always "retiring" from hogville. Seemed like as soon as he retired he was posting some nonsense about his made up brother or uncle or something every five seconds .

Guys like that have a shelf life.  He was like 2 month old buttermilk that has been sitting in an unplugged refrigerator.
