Not relevant, but still awesome.

Welcome to the 578,682,357,683th installment of With Leather’s “We Are Absolute, Unapologetic Suckers For Any Video Of U.S. Soldiers Surprising Their Families At Sporting Events” and today’s video clip is a 5-star general of a doozie. During Saturday’s otherwise uneventful, one-sided 35-7 South Carolina Gamecocks win over the Georgia Bulldogs, the wife and two children of Sergeant First Class Scott Faile were brought on to the field to receive a special video message from their hero.

In case you’re afraid to show emotion in front of your co-workers, here’s the breakdown from WLTX:

The family (his wife two children) were brought onto the field as the Columbia Metropolitan Airport MilitaryFamily of the Game. They then saw a videotaped message from Sgt. Faile, explaining how much he loved and appreciated their support. At the end of the message, Faile said how he wished he could be there with them to see the Gamecocks beat up on Georgia.

But that blurb does absolutely zero justice to the actual video, which I command you to watch after the jump. OBEY!

This is a funny hype song written and produced for UGA by some students: for the students, fans, faculty, and TEAM. All put together in a little over 1 day, just getting a little fun and excitement going on campus. O and yea, haha we’re ready to win the SEC! Let’s Go.

At what point in that “1 day” did the students go, “hey, let’s get that guy who looks like David Wooderson from Dazed And Confused to start us off, he looks like the rapping type”. And then at what point did they follow that with, “well, we need people in the video who have listened to rap music before, who goes to college and knows about rap music? 19 YEAR OLD WHITE GIRLS!” That’s when I stop wondering, because the next question would be, “whose idea was it to have the black midget in Ray Bans refer to UGA beating LSU as a ‘bust in the mouth upset’, because seriously, you guys know ‘bust in your mouth’ doesn’t mean punching anymore even if you make punching motions, right”.

The always hilarious Spencer Hall over at SBN has a scene-by-scene breakdown of the video, so once your brain has adjusted to the song and you’re able to form sentences like, “lol that guy looks like general custer” again, hop over and check it out.

One thing that recap doesn’t include is the LSU diss track response, which follows.

Awesome news out of Georgia today, where ESSSS EEEEE SEEEE SPEEEEED rules supreme. Three recruits (including a minor) visited the Athens campus at the University of Georgia, and they liked the place so much, they decided to take a little bit of it home with them.

Georgia had an open house even on April 7th, in which the football complex was open to visitors. That day, iPods and iPhones disappeared from the lockers of seven players, valued at $1,330.

Wow, they really don’t mess around in the SEC. A Big Ten recruit would have at least waited until he was enrolled in classes before punching out his history professor. Who’s history now, mothafokka? That’s how that would have gone down, and yes, the player in question would look a lot like Fozzie Bear.

Back in November, Ohio State President Gordon Gee told the Associated Press that teams like TCU and Boise State didn’t deserve to play for the BCS title because those programs don’t have strong schedules like the teams in the BCS automatic qualifier conferences. Said Gee:

“Well, I don’t know enough about the X’s and O’s of college football,” said Gee, formerly the president at West Virginia, Colorado, Brown and Vanderbilt universities. “I do know, having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it’s like murderer’s row every week for these schools. We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor. We play very fine schools on any given day. So I think until a university runs through that gantlet that there’s some reason to believe that they not be the best teams to [be] in the big ballgame.”

Boise State lost to Nevada two days later, ruining the Broncos’ BCS hopes, but TCU continued to steamroll opponents, as the No. 3 Horned Frogs finished with a 12-0 regular season record. The Frogs added their exclamation point on New Year’s Day, when they defeated Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin, of course, finished 7-1 in the Big 10 just like Ohio State. So for Gee’s comments, a mysterious TCU supporter has gently extended his middle finger by posting the banner image above on 20 electronic billboards throughout Columbus, Ohio. Well done.

While we can chalk this one up as a W for the little guys, as TCU was the first ever non-automatic qualifier to win the Rose Bowl, Gee and the rest of the big boys are probably still scoffing at the Frogs while they refill their high balls and light cigars with $100 bills. But tread lightly, big conference presidents. TCU will be in the Big East soon enough, so if you thought the Frogs had an easy road now, just you wait.

In the meantime, I was a little surprised to find out that TCU wasn’t the only school to have mystery billboards popping up around the country. Follow along after the jump…

The college football bowl season has become so long and drawn out that some teams can’t even wait for the results of their own games before they proclaim themselves winners. For instance, the Georgia Bulldogs honored their seniors with plaques featuring inscriptions of the team’s 2010 record of 7-6. Only one little problem with that, though… Georgia finished the season 6-7 after the Dawgs lost to Conference USA powerhouse* UCF in the Autozone Liberty Bowl on Friday. Hopefully the seniors hang their plaques in front of mirrors.

Take it away, “cutting edge” Florida Today columnist, Pete Kerasotis…

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got multiple restraining orders against Victoria’s Secret models and you vaguely remember watching ESPN’s “Dream Job” reality series, which lasted three seasons. Some would say that was four seasons too long. Still, scores of men tuned in, if for any reason, to ogle Kit Hoover’s hot little self in her post-Road Rules career. At the end of season 2, Dave Holmes ended up defeating some guy we’ll never hear from again to sign his 1-year deal with ESPN, drive home in his brand new Mazda 6 and reap the benefits of his newfound stardom.

Fast forward 5 years to today and Holmes is doing great as he’s fulfilling his lifelong dream of covering the Ohio State Buckeyes for 13 ABC in Toledo, which is also the home of Christina Williams, who I know nothing about but she’s pretty cute so that’s cool. Dave even went as far as to record his own special rap song to honor the OSU-Michigan rivalry this past Saturday, and it’s everything you could ever expect from a white guy from Ohio rapping. Even worse, though, I found out that Dave’s song is Punte’s ringtone. Pretty shameful, indeed.

But Dave’s efforts reminded me of how great the connection is between college football and music – more specifically rap – especially with enthusiastic fans and players. It’s no Source Awards, but boy is this collection guaranteed to bring some street credit…
