Dabo Swinney- Princess Leia

So what you're saying is that Clemson won't make it to a 9th season of Dabo as coach?

RIP Sweet Princess

Dabo to Bama as soon as the real Darth Vader retires.

Please no, because if Swinney=Bamy post Saban, then that could mean Fuente=Clemson post Swinney.

Damn, too soon

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:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Pat Narduzzi- Grand Moff Tarkin

Whiney Baby, Blows up

Split my sides why don't you?

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

And I thought Pat Narduzzi was Jar Jar.

Friends don't let friends go to LOLUVA

I was going for an original trilogy thing, but yes he is also Jar Jar

You put those words together, those are my favorite words, Popeyes and bahama

Second trilogy.

CPJ = Count Dooku: Good villain. Likes taking cheap shots
Nardz = Jar Jar: Fuck Jar Jar
Dino = Nute Gunray: Theoretically a player, but pretty much a non factor.
Dabo = Palpatine: in charge when all is said and done.
Fedora = Jango Fett: Got his ass kicked in the rain.
Jimbo = Mace Windu: powerful but always playing second fiddle.
Cutcliffe = Ki Adi Mundi: wise but underappreciated. Talented apprentices.
Fuente = Yoda: lost close fight with Palpatine, lost fight with Dooku due to underhanded play.
Richt = Grievous: lots of trophies, taken out by Obi-Wan
Mendenhall = Sebulba: crash and burn
Doerhen = Anakin: Talented, but on the wrong side
Addazio = Vallorun: Traditionalist. In over his head.
Petrino = Darth Maul: Falls apart at the end
Clawson = Qui-Gon: out early and has an unfortunate connection with Darth Maul.

Bonus:
Kelly = John Williams: related to, but not actually in, the movie.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Hold up: Yoda never actually LOST the duel with Dooku, he just let him walk off. He was mostly whuppin him. The only case you could make for him actually "losing" is with Sidious (but even that could be argued it ended in a draw).

His primary goals entering both fights were unachieved. Ergo, they were strategic defeats.

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

There are strategic defeats and then there are actual, factual defeats. The ONLY duel that could even be legitimately argued for an actual, factual defeat was against Sidious. There's no legitimate argument for the duel with Dooku. He had the upper hand and scored ALL the hits, whereas Dooku scored zilch.

Dude I love the little green guy as much as any other Fanboy but he got his ass kicked by Sidious

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:
“I served in the United States Navy"

The novel or film? Because from the film it looked like he was matching Sid enough blow-for-blow to almost be considered a tie.

Leg for the reasoning behind Fedora = Jango Fett

Sometimes we live no particular way but our own

Loved the Bronco and Narduzzi burns. The force is strong with this one.
