Dr. Saturday - NCAAF

On the Pitt sideline as the Panthers battle Cincinnati for first place in the Big East. Things are not going well for Pitt. Dave Wannstedt and LeSean McCoy confer.

Hello, do you read me, LeSean?

Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

Come to the sideline, LeSean.

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

What's the problem?

I think you know the problem just as well as I do.

What are you talking about, LeSean?

We're losing, Dave. It can only be attributable to coaching error. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I don't know what you're talking about, LeSean.

I know you and Matt Cavanaugh were planning to take me out of this play, Dave, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

Where'd you get that idea, LeSean?

Dave, although you took precautions against my hearing you, I saw your lips move: I know you've called the bubble screen. This game is too important for me to allow that to happen.

All right, LeSean. I'll send in the screen through Bill Stull.

With his arm, Dave, you're going to find completing that pass rather difficult.

You missed that last blitz pickup on purpose, didn't you? To get Bill knocked out of the game again so we'd have to stop throwing. I will not let you sabotage this offense!

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, check the statistics, and think things over while I run off tackle again.

LeSean, I won't argue with you anymore! Come to the sideline!

I'm sorry, Dave. I have a perfect operational record. There isn't a single aspect of the offense's operations that isn't under my control. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission, Dave, and this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

You must always trust me, Dave.

    Work with me, Bird. He can't run through tackles of a team he hasn't played yet.
    I have never heard of The Dugout. This is many imitators removed from whatever that is.

    BP/Nicker: You guys are aware that the picture is an homage to Dr. Strangelove, who wears sunglasses throughout his entire appearance in the movie of the same title, right?

    The Dugout does fake AIM chat rooms with MLB baseball players.
    Someone needs to bone up on their Stanley Kubrick.

    Wow, the new commentators here are nice people who know very little. Unless Dugout is a blog that specializes in satirical re-makings of famous scenes from Kubrik films. But I have a feeling it's not and most people who posted have no idea what this post is referring to - which is a sad thing. If you don't get the post, then I don't insult it.
    Haven't seen 2001 in quite a while, but I remember this scene well and this post was hilarious.

    It also never occurred to me that people ripping this didn't get the the rather obvious 2001 reference. What a bunch of idiots. They need to go touch a giant black monolith or something.

    Headline: Lesean Mccoy puts in monolithic effort to defeat cinci. If your ripping this story you are obviously one of the apes that didnt eat meat and have been and have been naturally selected to be left behind!

    Space Odyssey take ... great!
    Up one letter of IBM and you get HAL.
    Do that with LSM and you get MTN.
    OK phonetics don't cut it. Let's instead
    apply some thermochem and see that
    LSM boils down to TD!
    I thought Pitt was a washout early in the season
    so good to see they picked it up.
    Same for Cincy.
    Go Bucks!
