Clamslammin', Mike Leach, Elin Grindemyr, pink dolphins, and weathermen?

C'L-ay, just wanted to let you know that "Clamslamming" could quite possibly be the greatest word in the history of our country. I am making it a point to average at least 10 to 15 C-Slamming references per day. Preliminary Gallup polls are showing that it could end up being the greatest parlance regarding nailing a chick to hit American vernacular since "Gashbashing." Outstanding work my friend.

Furthermore, after watching that completely absurd (and by absurd, I mean awesome) video of Leach on claytravis.net, it got me thinking that we need to investigate this man's collegiate background. I was under the impression he went to BYU, but after watching his weather-casting abilities I am starting to think he might have done some graduate school work at Mississippi State. Let's try and figure out if there is any truth to this.


Today I went on Roundtable Radio with Lance and Ian down in Birmingham (If you're from Alabama and not listening to this show from 10-2 I seriously question what you're doing with your life). I'm on every Monday at around 12:30 central. Anyway, they asked me what I'd like to be referred to when they introduce me and I attempted to suggest Clamslammer in Chief. Alternatively I'd roll with Chief of Clamslammin'.

As for Mike Leach and his connection to Miss. State, can you imagine if they fired Croom and he came to Starkville? He could do the weather and coach football. In Southern parlance this would be like if Jesus came back to life and He was really good at duck calls.

Karolina Kurkova named world's sexiest woman.

The voters clearly do not read your blog. I too am shocked. I don't think many could argue against Elin Grindemyr being number one, or at least on this list. I looked for a fan club and she does not have one (in English). I think that along with BGID, apostrophes and UT coach hunting the readers can take up the cause to better support and promote Elin Grindemyr. The more she is out there, the more we get to see her. Of course my friends and I have google image searched her. My friend Benji seems to think that we find her so hot since she is never fully nude. He thinks it is more of a tease and that if she was nude, we would say it is just another naked woman. What do you think?

Thanks!


Great email. Someone needs to say it, Elin Grindemyr is the pink dolphin of hot internet women. Until this email I didn't even realize it. Think about it, Elin's image has been appropriated by a fan base she has never heard of, she toils in obscurity in Sweden (the equivalent of the pink dolphin being lost in the Amazon River). Worse she has to lose voting contests to cheap tramps like Karolina Kurkova. (By the way, is there any way Karolina Kurkova couldn't be hot. My theory that hot girls have hot names is still undefeated. Once her parents settled on that name she had to be hot.) Anyway, she's not as hot as Elin. So, as I've scientifically proven, this is exactly like the pink dolphin being overshadowed by the non-pink dolphin. Everyone on earth would love Elin Grindemyr if they only knew who Elin Grindemyr was. Hell, she could probably be elected Governor of Alabama.

Now, as for the lack of nudity, I'll admit this is alluring. Because if I see a new woman on broadcast television who is really hot, I immediately google image search to see if she's been naked. I did this for the chick on Pushing Daises, found her naked, and then stopped watching the show. I mean, it's still DVR'd but I always delete it. The other day I started wondering if I hadn't been able to find her naked whether I might have continued watching the show, thought that I might have, and this blew my mind so much I went shopping online for a pink dolphin for Fox.

Success.

Travis has become enamored of several objects, phrases or events which he frequenly references in the column. Among the most frequent:
 
'Bama Bangs - a term coined by Travis to refer to southern men's hairstyles that feature prominent bangs for no apparent reason. Brodie Croyle and John Parker Wilson are oft-cited violators of 'Bama Bangs rules.

On Rocky Top When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

Dixieland Delight There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

Man Book The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Vanderbuilt Law Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA. In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...
