NCAA as Simpson’s Characters?
Wow, someone has WAY too much time on their hands. It seems the author of the blog has decided to look at a bunch of NCAA football teams, and relate them to characters in The Simpson’s. Some of my favorites:
Penn State: Abe Simpson
Old school. Older-than-old school. At times they almost make you worry they’re losing it, but even then they demand your respect. After all, have you won 357 D-IA games or fought with the Flying Hellfish in WWII? No? Then STFU, whippersnapper! (Came up with this independent of commenters, but since corroborated by numerous people.)…
Michigan State: Gil the Salesman
All together now: “Damn, that felt like a Big 10 championship season!” It always begins the same with these guys, so hopeful, so full of promise, but they always manage to blow it sometime before the deal is closed. Since Gil is supposedly based on Jack Lemmon’s sad-sack character from the film adaptation of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” we have some advice for the Spartans: Coffee is for closers. (Thanks to ryno for the suggestion.)…
Notre Dame: Montgomery Burns
Been around since the beginning of time; the amount of money and power he controls is massive, absurd, and quite frankly, a little scary. The kind of guy everyone in town loves to hate — but they’d switch places with him in half a second.
But they left out Purdue! Time for me to step in…
PURDUE: Cecil Terwilliger
Cecil has watched over the years as his more popular and successful brother (Michigan/Ohio State) has acheived fame and notoriety, and has grown jealous. Cecil has finally decided to try to equal and surpass the success of those above, but finds that it’s a lot harder as it looks. He may be smart and with a great engineering school, but plans and implementation rarely resemble each other. Flashy quarterbacks and spread-option offenses may look great on paper, but when the time comes to actually put them into practice, it seems to all fall apart.
