Graham Harrell Gets His Cosby On

Posted by Scipio Tex on December 11th, 2008 under Football

h/t to Deadspin

There was a brief time period between 1988-1993 when sweaters like these were perfectly appropriate attire, even outside of the holiday season. Malcolm Jamal Warner and the older Cosby daughter that was white used to wear them a lot. To this day, the only people that can remotely pull off this look are fatherly 54 year old black men eager to be confided in.

A guy in the front row is wearing a sweater eerily similar to the one Colin Firth is forced to wear by his Mum in Bridget Jones Diary.

And we’re left to puzzle how he didn’t wrangle a Heisman invite?

  1. Also too, you’ll notice Eric Morris, “the Elf”, directly below him I believe…

  2. I think this puts a new meaning on “don thee now our gay appearal” Wow.

  3. The Elf next to Santa. I love it.

    When Barking Carnival does its annual X-mas photo, I demand that we copy this exact format.

    Scipio, why have you seen Bridget Jones Diary?

  5. Because Bridget Jones Diary, Love, Actually and About A Boy are the only three palatable chick flicks ever made.

    Henry James loves Maid In Manhattan!

  6. “I think this puts a new meaning on “don thee now our gay appearal””

    Winner.

    That isn’t a good answer, Scipio.

    The misquote (s/b Don “we” now…) and poor spelling detract from the win. I’m holding off to see if another contestant can deliver with more style points.

  9. Negative. To say “don we now” means you (as in yourself) are putting on your homo sweater. To say “don thee now” means you (as in not me but you, dumbass, is putting on your homo sweater. It may be misquoted from the song, but VERY present in the situation.

  10. No offense on the “dumbass” part Mr. Quote-police-office.

    But then it should be “don thee now your gay apparel” and not “don thee now our gay apparel”. Your pronouns don’t match up.

    Still, your politicking has swayed me some. I’m willing to call it genius, with an asterisk…

    Don’t forget that true mustache culture permits the use of this type of sweater.

  13. This place is turning into an R-rated version of Schoolhouse Rock.

    “Conjunction junction, what’s your function?”

    “Hooking up with bitches. Bitch.”

  14. [...] goes to Scipio Tex at Barking Carnival for pointing this out and to DeadSpin for publishing this fabulous photo of Graham [...]

  15. They don’t want you to know this, but the Barking Carnival moderator entrance exam only tests one skill: an oral recitation (from memory) of every Ryan Gosling line in The Notebook.

    Sailor Ripley knows the script in four different languages.

    My fave is The Deval Wears Prada.

  17. I did a rendition of Daniel Day Lewis’ “Just Stay Alive, I Will Find You” speech in Last of the Mohicans. Chooky played Madeline Stowe.

    Scipio, I just want you to know that the grammar stuff is not me.

    I hold out for moments when I can be snarky about stuff like “Jacobethan”. (Which I still can’t believe you know, by the way: What a twisted education you got on the 40 acres.)

  19. There’s a high probability that it is Huckleberry or a Huckleberry-like creature.

  20. it looks like santa might be ski poling graham and his buddy in the back

  21. More like “don thee now thy gay apparel”, but who’s splitting?

    I think Kriess just flat out misquoted for 0 points, recovery rhetoric notwithstanding.

  22. I used to think Harrell was just a douche when he got all whiny about contact.

    Now It all makes sense.

    For Christmas I am planning on sending him the Barbara Streisand’s greatest hits compilation, to profess my sincerest apologies!!!

    I, for one, am looking forward to the Texas Tech game in Austin next year, when Harrell will throw a bitchy temper tantrum in the 4th quarter after being sacked in a winless situation, evoking Stephen McGee 2008.

  25. Harrell is a senior.

  26. We’re starting an indifferent Yonder Mountain String Band roadie next year.

    you are going to be sorely disappointed.
