SFN Bids Everett Withers a Fond Adieu - StateFans Nation StateFans Nation

It would be hard to write a more fitting denounement – a half-hearted effort leads to the Holes getting taken behind the woodshed for some sweet, sweet Shreveport schadenfreude. A garbage time TD cut the final margin to 41-24 – but it was never in doubt after the first quarter.

Missouri is hardly a football juggernaut. And as the announcers repeatedly pointed out – there was lots of NFL talent allegedly playing “defense” for the powder blue. Yet the Tigers set an Independence Bowl record for most points in the first half (31).

So…this hilarious, delightful (from a vulpine POV) 2011 season – and Everett Withers’ head coaching career – won’t end with a Gatorade bath. But we appreciate you, big guy. What could be better than a dim-witted, arrogant, lifelong “Wal-Mart fan” in the head coach’s office? One that single-handedly re-animated TOB and the Wolfpack’s 2011 bowl hopes? One that was dumb enough to really think he had a shot at making his temporary appointment permanent, even after that clusterfuck of a week?

That was our old buddy Everett. He will be sorely missed, just like good old Matt Doherty. In my heaven, you fellows have lifetime contracts.

I thought it looked like Renners hands were red when he came on the field the first time. Was I dreaming or was it my tv?

Tuckerdorm – renners hands probably were red, after he provided some Carolina style stress relief to his team mates in the locker room.

Methinks that ncsuallday did not get the Red Ryder BB gun he asked for. Don’t worry, you won’t look as silly in the pink bunny suit as you think….really.

Also, one other point – I saw a soundbite on TV from Withers. I think someone asked about going to Shreveport and what to do there. He responded with “there is lots to do, a lot of entertainment there, adult entermtainment.”

Maybe the boys spent too much time being entertained but I am glad to see them get whooped.

Well, his team certainly bent over and took what Mizzou had to offer. Not sure if that qualifies as adult entertainment, but I enjoyed it.

Looking at the crowd shots … I am reminded of what T.J. Graham said about ‘motivation’ after the BC game….

I hope TJ and the rest of the team were watching last night and remember the BC game, too.
