College Football Just Got Skinnier

Talk about a bad day for fat college coaches. Two staples of the stomach will be out of their jobs at the end of the season. Earlier today, Tom Amstutz the fat coach of Toledo who got the fun win at the Big House, announced today that he will resign at the end of the season. And now the news out of Knoxville is that Philip Fulmer is also out and the end of the season.

What a sad day for fat coaches everywhere. Amstutz while not prolific certainly shows the girth to make himself a household name in the future and this is certainly a setback. For Fulmer 17 years sweating through pole shirts in the SEC was an impressive run and its sad that we no longer shall envision him shoving his face into a pile of donuts after all of the losses against Florida.

Currently there is no word out of South Bend about whether Charlie's Staples are still intact, however sources in Lawrence claim that Mangino is still making his weekly trip to dominate the buffet.

Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
