Hatin' On - Al Golden

Well...I'm not sure what happened. I didn't think we did a great job of hatin' on CPC...alas perhaps we did. It is too easy to hate on Da'U, so we should hold ourselves back a little...or go wild!

This week's target, Mr. Tie & Sweat-stained Shirt: Al Golden

Fun facts:

Al is from Colts Neck, NJ

deuce
What is it with ACC coaches using 2 fingers?

Al is an inductee of the Jersey Shore Sports Hall of Fame (2004)

JSSHOF

Al is married to Kelly Elizabeth Hanna and has a son, A.J., and two daughters, Addison and Grace

No idea what this has to do with Al Golden, but it was a top Google result for "Al Golden sweating"

Al had a 27-34 record at Temple and is 28-16 so far at Miami (guess 50.4% WP is "Back").

pooping?
Anyone else think he's about to drop a steamer here?

And...did I mention he wears a tie to every game??1!

Go Hokies! #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING

Well he has been Good for the Hokies at da U, I hope he is extended 10 more years!

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"

Al Golden credits his mom when asked about why he wears a tie.." She said in order to perform at your best you must look your best".

and.... when a fan-based website collects money for this you're in big do do

Here at VT we collect money for amazing things like: The NRV, and St. Judes Children Research!!!!!!

Al Golden isn't actually golden.

"Hokie religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." Han Solo

For anyone going to the game, apparently some Miami fans are planning on flying a Fire Al Golden banner much like they did during their last game against Cincinnati. This should be funny.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

They do know it's a night game right?

They met the goal and are flying it from 5:30 to 6:15

What are they expecting to happen? A bunch of Hokie fans tailgating, seeing the plane, and either shrugging their shoulders or bursting out laughing?

What are you talking about, who doesn't want to go to an average school with fans who don't show up to support the team or the coach and wear awful colors?!

"It might be dark outside, but it's LeDay in here." - Jay Bilas

How much would it cost to fly a "KEEP AL GOLDEN - HOKIENATION" banner at the exact same time?

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

id say the same 1.5k that miami paid unless we get a home team price.

Actually, this would be a reason to like Al Golden.

Al Golden thinks Golden Tate left Seattle because he got a better deal from Detroit.

28-16 at Miami, 53-52 for his career.

Al Golden uses Secret brand deodorant. He read that it was strong enough for a man and stopped there....

Al Golden thinks an albatross is better than the Hokie Bird.

Al Golden originally thought he'd accepted the head coaching job at Miami University in Ohio. When he realized his mistake, he was too embarrassed to admit it and has been subtly trying to get out of Florida since. Unfortunately his plan to coach "da U" into further irrelevancy has yet to be noticed by the administration.

Isn't this a reason to like him?? Coach on I say.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Al Golden has tried to pitch a reality show about the Miami football team hookers called "The Golden Girls" and doesn't understand why nobody will pick it up.

Actually I heard Nevin Shapiro was footing the bill for that

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

You have to appreciate the matching gold lame.

Al Golden is suing McDonald's for the use of the phrase "Golden Arches," which is what he says can only be used to describe parts of his feet.

And told him to wear a pink suit to the Heisman trophy cere...oh wait, then he played at Lane Stadium

"It might be dark outside, but it's LeDay in here." - Jay Bilas

Whenever Al Golden isn't wearing a shirt and tie, he wears excessively short and tight bicycle shorts.

I'm surprised Al hasn't showed up to defend himself yet. I am enjoying that recent trend.

al golden says there are better things in miami to show up to.
which is why he also understands the attendance issues at the home games.

From UVA, to Temple, To Miami, that's the only life Al's ever known.

"That kid you're talking to right there, I think he played his nuts off! And you can quote me on that shit!" -Bud Foster

Al Golden is frustrated that so many fans are showing up to Miami games. He prefers to play football in quiet, relaxing, quaint environment.

To this end, Al Golden has started buying Dolphins tickets to give away since he knows the typical Miami fan is just a resident who can't afford NFL tickets...

I think you might be right. Remember last year?

Al Golden looks like a really mediocre insurance salesman.

Al Golden thinks he brought sexy back to Miami. sexy and he knows it.

Go Hokies

Al Golden always plays as Oddjob in Goldeneye because he says he has a right to after they named the game after him.

Leg for the Goldeneye reference!!

The tie in the first picture is actually a tie he stole from the other fan at LOLUVAs spring game

Al Golden was the only person who attended LOLUVA's Spring game.

I'll just leave this here...

Al Golden loves Enter Sandman.

Al Golden thought there was a good turnout at their game last week.

Well, as the saying goes, "Silence is Golden."

"Exit light..."

He keeps doing kickstarters to fly banners to have himself fired.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

HOKIE HOKIE HOKIE HI

Same here - we cannot have radios at work, so I usually go to the car and listen to ESPN radio to get caught up in the world of sports.

But I laugh at myself for doing that..

I eat lunch in my car at least twice a week, if not more. I'm in my second year of community college and I go to the gym after class. Let's just say 97% of community college students are either chain smokers or homeschoolers

All Golden swings his car doors wide open, no matter how close to another car he parks, and does not even bother to look if it made a mark because he cares not

The Dude Abides

Al Golden lives in the spiritual home of Cuban food (outside of Cuba) and thinks Cuban sandwiches aren't that great. He'd rather have olive loaf.

WHERE IS AL GOLDEN!???

He's making the "FIRE AL GOLDEN" banner. Duh.

Al Golden was forced to name his son AJ, after this play...

Except that play never happened.

Yep, I guess my Photoshop skills are getting pretty good when people think those things actually happened...

"Exit light..."

Leg for being AWESOME!

...Oh, and Al Golden sucks (getting back to the thread).

We put the K in Kwality

Yours are better than UVA's photoshop skills... FACT.

Are we sure AJ wasn't at the '03 game? 4th-down-Qb might have time travel skills; he is very versitile

The Dude Abides

and you can tell because it's showing as AJ laying the hit and the guy still has the ball. So obviously it's photoshoped.

Al Golden stops his car in the middle of the main st. traffic circle, gets out and has a conversation with the car in front of him which has just barely pulled into a parking lot. Then gives you the death glare when you honk because you can't get around him because of the traffic in said circle.

Al Golden comes to a full stop at the yield sign on West Campus Drive

comes to a full stop at the yield sign

Must be because he went to Penn State. This is standard practice for Pennsylvania drivers - drives me effin nuts.

It was Al Golden's idea to record the conversation between Jawand Blue and Charley Wiles when he flipped from VT to Miami
