"You!" is the only recruiting tool TimeCop has left. i mean what else is he going to sell them with??
Thought of this.
I actually think it was a misspelling of "ewe".
He was informing the prospect that he was a steeple and must commit to UVA with the rest.
Obviously, it's Jeff's turn to Crank Dat Soulja Boy
Soulja Boi reference?
Maybe London thinks Soulja Boy reference is hip these days. Crank dat!
What you don't know is that he's called 2 timeouts after writing "YOU" so the other letters should be arriving shortly with the rest of the message
Correct. The next letter will simply say "COMPLETE" and the final one will say "ME!"
I've always wondered what his informer letters looked like.
He deleted the tweet, but it has been preserved for humanity's sake.
Who is "Coach on du"?
That's an "F" there...
Fondu. You know, stuff on a hot plate that you stick a fork in.
Sheesh why would Coach Fondue waste the 42 cents to send that
It was only a 30 second time out, not a full time out.
I had a feeling it was French....
As in the stuff on a hot plate that you stick a fork in...
Coach Fondue... Fond-ue.... Fond of you.... YOU!!!
Half life 3 confirmed
The "F" actually goes before the "U" if he were to actually commit to UVA...
Gotta keep up with the Irish, after all.
Timely and excellent execution. Classic Guitarman.
Thanks. My laptop had been gone for a while for a repair, so I haven't been as active as I would have liked in the last few days, especially with several meme opportunities arising. I knew I couldn't let this one slip by, so as soon as my machine was back (and after doing a little "actual" work...sigh), I put this together. Mike London is one of my favorite subjects :)
like shooting fish in a ...fondoo pot ...TIME OUT? no ...wait....
As many times as Mike London has lost you would think he should be able to draw an L properly...
Y. -ou
O. -ughta
U. -ncommit!
He took it off. tried looking for it and its gone.
Aint nobody got time for that.
Or maybe it was a letter from the AD telling Jeff to coach London.
Or for Jeff to take him to London and leave him there
In Soviet Charlottesville, recruit coaches YOU!
somewhere in the signature I think I see a Coach 0-10.. I'm not sure ...wait a minute there it is!!!!!
Mike L0-10don
Mike LOLndon
If this doesn't cause some UVA verbals to mutter "WTF!!" and reconsider their commitments, then they're truly doomed to four+ years of living in the C'ville version of Land of the Lost.
He used to send the same card every year around this time to the mall Dunkin' Donuts employees.
are we forgetting all the possible Pokemon jokes that could be made here?
Mike London, you have really outdone yourself this time.
I wasn't aware there were a bunch of Pokemon jokes...generational gap!
Surprised he used the correct spelling and use of the word "you" - Formerly, he was incorrect in past usages of certain words.
Its short for "YOU VEE AYE"
It is actually a pop-up card
looks like Sam Rogers trucked over the 'f's in Jeff and turned them into 7's
I love the holiday season. I think coach fondue is the best nickname we have for him.
Not to get too cheesy, but like in fondue and football, there are no time outs. There are either delicious treats to be had...don't over cook them now!...and timeouts to be mismanaged.
How the fudge did we lose out on Brown and etc. etc.
I can only gather it's more of a MeAngelo type of situation. No team unity. No heart. No nothing.
10 years, Coach Fondue. 10 years.
Coach Fondue! That's killing me...and so appropriate!
Yeah, that's a good one. But my favorite is still "Coach L'Undone." But then, I've been on the LOLUVA = France Bandwagon for a really REALLY long time. LOL
Wow it appears there's plenty of space in that note for...Photoshop.
I actually did ^above and the Sam Rogers bus stop pic in MS Paint. I just fired up the Fushitsu which has PhotoShop on it. It's been on for about half an hour with 40 Windows updates.... 0% complete. I'm either sticking with paint or moving PhotoShop over to the work PC.
I'm currently on one of those Fushitsus right now. That gif accurately represents my feelings about 93% of the time I'm on the computer.
At least you're not alone. I'm in the same terrible boat.
I just bought a new ultrabook, and I can't wait to do that to that old fujitsu.....
It sounded like it was going to take off any any moment!
Also, the Lenovo Yoga... 20 second cold boot time, and 3 second wake from sleep.... Never again will I buy a fujitsu.....
Friends don't let friends acquire fujitsus.
My son's school issues fujitsu windows tablets to all the students. They are incredibly good paperweights. As a useful device....not so much.
Should actually read "FORMERLY, YOU!"
"The Building of a Program" continues!
Just realized that London is in France!
...and thats one to grow on.
Ahh 4 years playing for UVA huh?
What 7ont is that?
I believe it's either "TimeCop New Romans" or "Comic Coach"
7UVA
It reminds me of the people that sign their names with a squiggle, only worse. The squiggle is designed to "pass" as your signature requiring the least amount of time with pen to paper. This looks like he sat down and designed (or someone else did) a way to sign his name that "looks cool" (notice the quotes). There are 5 distinct pen to paper marks, and very few of them resemble to letters which he is actually trying to spell. This just screams narcissism.
i'm a total squiggle signer. people look at it and always say 'hmm doctor's signature' and i'm always like 'yeah i'm just lazy.'
The best signature is one where you can read the first letter of the first and last name and the rest is up to your imagination. In this one you could never put together its an L
Assuming the NCAA limits contacts with recruits by cell phone and text, is this the first instance of drunk mailing? If so, London could be a trendsetter.
Do you think he understands there isn't a 140 character limit on actual ink n paper notes?
I'm sure Jeff saw this and was like
This story was the TOP headline on the ticker on yahoo right now http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/virginia-coach-mike-lond...
And notice the credit at the bottom of the story! Good job TKP!
I followed a couple links and ended up at another ridiculous recruiting letter that NC State sent to our very own commit CJ Reavis. I didn't remember hearing about this at the time but it's worth a share.
NC STATE NEEDS = BALLERS

Return letter....
"//0ndon,

Props to TKP for being referenced by Yahoo.
