Here are a collection of memorable quotes from my February and March Off The Couch columns — some with freshened-up comments from your favorite OTC columnist. I hope you enjoy the stroll down memory lane as much as I. If so, let me know and I and I’ll crank out a few more of these this week.

Yeah. Go ahead. Give us more “Best of OTC.

Clemente came out a few months ago and said that no one on KU’s bench said anything racist towards him (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/luke_winn/09/10/denis.clemente/index.html?eref=T1). Tim Fitzgerald is the internet version of KK. Remember Gary Patterson was signed, sealed, and delivered to KSU. Why 810 continues to feature him is beyond me…
MrOlathe
Thanks Greg! Now will you be posting a “Best of Comments” section as well?

MrO, The talented readers of this space provide that on a daily basis.

DPW is dead on above. I can not stand Tim Fitzgerald…total blowhard. He posts on gopowercat ‘it’s Patterson’ and sends the Cat fans in to a frenzy. Uh, whoops, it was all BS!! And to make matters worse, a majority of the subscribers on gopowercat defended him afterwards. I couldn’t believe it. People were posting stuff like ‘if Fitz posted it, you know it must have been true. Patterson must have backed out. Fitz has legit sources’. Right. BS.
Never liked old Fitz since I met him while a student in Manhattan. He told me at So Long Saloon that POS former LB Matt Butler was a great player. You guys remember him, right? LOL. Fitz sucks…and I’m a K-State fan!!
Eric
To this day, Mike Anderson still doesn’t get enough credit for how good of a coach he is. Greg, I’d also enjoy you recapping how KK and Clinker were just positive Anderson was leaving MU for greener pastures and more money. They were both made to look like the big time jackoffs that they are.
rick
I think it would easier to write what KK gets right then wrong.

Under Jack Harry Fingered blogged check out my post about George Michael dying.

Greg, reading this reminds me just how glad I am to have you back at the keyboard. My readership of other sites (Star, OWH, etc.), however, suffers since I can read all the good stuff here.
Why no mention of the crow people had to eat due to our Huskers?
jojo
Greg…I am definitely looking forward to
agitating/agrravating/and insinuating
all your readers into foaming at the mouth
anger in 2010.
Stay off the juice and stay loose in 2010.
And to all my fans/readers/admirers…see
ya in 2010 LOOOOSSSSSEEEEERRRRRSSSSS!
jojo
OH..MR. HALL…from here on out..please when
referring to my friend…use the following
title as honoring his position:
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
REMEMBER…we won..you lost!
OlatheCat
Keep ’em coming, Greg!

Greg, how about a “best of KK and Mad Jack 2009?” Their material alone could fill a column.
can’t say
Does anyone remember how on SNL they had the vote about if they would allow Andy Kaufman on the show. Put up a 1-800 number. And he lost. Can’t we do the same with JoJo? Have a vote to see how many wants him banned. Like Survivor you know he would be the first one voted off.
Critter
We definitely need some more of these this week, Greg.
Paul
Agreed- more of the best of OTC, and ban jojo while you’re at it. At least until the Ritalin wears off.
John
No SOFA Awards????
MrOlathe
How about a list of the stories that KK said “There is a lot more to come out on this story” then nothing else ever came out. I remember the Monday after KU finally beat KSU in football. KK spent the first 30 minutes talking about the tragic (and it was/is a tragic) double decker KSU bus crash that killed 1-2 people. KK talked about all this other stuff that this was going to lead to. And that there is so much more to come out. Never heard another peep.
rick
Thought Last Word did something close at the 200 mark, I also vote for SOFA awards.
jojo
to my fans/avid readers…thanks for the
interest and support in 2009…see ya
in 2010!

Regarding Len Dawson and how little effort he puts into his job: The day Allard Baird was fired Lenny called him “Allan Baird.” I can see my wife doing that but not a sportscaster who had to report about him for years.
greg
guys dont have much time but here are some of my
favorite qoutes from comments in 2009
GAVIN: “I blog here at midnite on Saturday
nites because my mom locks me in the basement
and it’s either this or playing star wars video
games. Also, I find young guys attractive”
MR. OLATHE: “I am from the exciting and growing
city of Olathe where people have no teeth and
they chew tobacco. I don’t have a girlfriend
since time warner shut off the internet to my
parents house. So instead, I read magazines and
put them under my bed so my grandma won’t find
them”
CRAIG: “i LOVE that young stuff. I can’t get
enough of it. Even tiger’s jealous of my
black book. Charlie Sheen wishes he had the
cell numbers I have. And noone in this town..
even grunny, get the hot women I get”
RICK: “I got so excited this christmas. Santa
came by and left the new Topps baseball card
pack of new players and we opened them up
while I played GUITAR HERO on christmas day.
It doesn’t get any better than this!”
UNCLE DICK: “i’m funnier than howie mandel.
My jokes are better…I have more hair…and
i only use a gallon of hand sanitizer a day
to keep the germies off my body.”
JOJO: Hey..I’m headed to thailand for the
holidays. Hear they’ve got some hot hot girls”
Jack: “its one of the greatest movies in history.
It’s funny.its a blockbuster. its got everything.
It rates right up there with “waterworld”
Tony: “Hey you corny dogs. I traveled down
Independence Avenune last night needing a
little help. Know what I mean. I came across
this hot chick who reminded me of funkhousers
wife. She was short. Fat. NO shoes. But for
$10 what do you expect. Especially in this
decrepit/recession hit/low life town like kc”

It’s funny how crimson-and-blue-bias weighs peoples’ memories around here. There were two incidents with UK2 and Clemente. One involved Morningstar trying to fight through a pic and he DID extend a closed fist discretely into Clemente’s groin/stomach. If full speed view, I wouldn’t call it a punch, but it was what it was. Reed, shortly thereafter, did an overly aggressive butt into the groin free throw line screen-out of Clemente after a free throw shortly after. He was trying to dig Clemente for the previous push delivered to Morningstar. You don’t make contact 352e that 5n a free throw line screen out unless you are trying to deliver a message.
And I don’t know about any racial slurs, but I CAN believe the part about a uk2 student thinking a PR native requires a Green Card. There are new levels of dumb there.
MrOlathe
PT…being from Olathe, could you rewrite that post in American for me? I have no fucking idea what half of that said. Thank you.
Ptolemy
Read it from a Function-lock perspective, I’m typing with my arm in a sling.
rick
I heard it made you go blind not that your arm would break????
