Hogs = Groundskeeper Willie

Sometimes it takes a while for the good stuff to trickle through the Internets. Buddy Murray emailed this link to my yesterday and it provided many a chuckle.

Sometime back - but more recently updated - Hey Jenny Slater linked SEC and several other college football teams to Simpsons characters. Now I do like me some Simpsons and this was well researched and well done.

The Georgia Bulldogs were compared to Homer. My Arkansas Razorbacks were tagged as the Scottish, kilt-wearing and derranged Groundskeeper Willie. I can think of worse...least they aren't sidekicks Lenny and Karl. Says Hey Jenny about the Hogs:

"A loner, an outsider, a funny-talkin' sort who comes off as just plain weird to most other people. Yet there's just something indescribably dangerous about them that can be counted on to rear its ugly head every once in a while."

Now Hey Jenny gives props for the idea to other sites which alternately compared ACC programs to Smurfs or football teams to rap acts. There, the Hogs are referred to as old school act Kool Keith:

"At this point, hardly ever mentioned when the mainstream talks about old school powers, but if you check the facts, they're up there. However, they may as well exist on another planet as far as the general public is concerned. Notoriously mercurial, and in the 2000's, they've been capable of just about anything, good and bad."
