"Or is the MEAL cheaper?"

Most of us are familiar with Frank Beamer's "who farted?" face (thankfully, less so this season). Back in the day, message board contributors would pepper threads with this reference to Frank's disgusted sideline reactions. Today, no longer in vogue, the "who farted?" is rarely cited as a Frank Beamer trademark expression.

This past weekend, though, I noticed a common thread of body language on the UVA sideline. As I watched UVA blow their 22-point lead ... [laughing fit, deep breaths] ... blow their 22-point lead to Duke, the Head Ball Cop furrowed his brow, pursed his lips, and squinted up at the clock (or the score? or a bird? or a visual manifestation of his own dreams?), usually with his hands on his hips.

The more ground UVA lost to Duke, the more I saw it, and the more I recognized this pose as uniquely American.

This was a man searching for answers.

This was a man trying to make decisions.

This was the look of a man ordering fast food.

So, the next time you see Mike London handling adversity on the sidelines, join him in the difficult questions that plague these moments:

"3 four-pieces is a better deal than the 10, right?"

"DO I want a milkshake?"

"Is the Chalupa the fried one, or is that the Gordita?"

If you've noticed common expressions/behaviors among ACC coaching staffs or have a catch-all name for this one, share them here.

Well done. I loled at this.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

I joined TKP today just so I could comment in this thread! Thus, not enough legs to upvote you - but I would if I could!! :)

here's a turkey leg to support the cause.

lol @ the guy on the left

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

I debated on several captions for this one, but that guy definitely would have been saying, "What the hell is he looking at?"

"Exit light..."

Time out again. I want that donut iced twice.

DING DING DING We have a winner!

"Exit light..."

oh god, puns. I don't have time to fritter away on puns.

That would be pretty sweet.

"Exit light..."

i'm sure several TKP'ers will rise to the occasion

Onward and upward

I think we batter get on this one, guys.

"Exit light..."

I just don't think we can milk anything else out of these puns.

On second thought I think I still have a pinch of them left.

I think all you guys (boston) creamed all the good puns, any thing left would be just (custard) filling. I'll see if I can (chocolate) glaze over a few more. Nope...got nothing.

Assume these are UVA grads behind the counter...because, you know...that's where they work after graduation.

Excellent Job

Wartooth, your image prowess is unparalleled

Ok. I know I was the one that said there was a little too much bashing of other teams during the bye week, but this is gold! Well done. I almost pissed myself laughing.

Truly funny! Now can we see him sitting in the car from Back To The Future in the drive through line at the window getting his donuts with Dabo in the car behind him?

Incredible observation and great graphics

At the 2006 Clemson game my buddy said watch Bowden when he gets on one knee and starts chewing a blade of grass like some bewildered farmer its over. Sure enough in the 3rd quarter there it was.

Seems to be a common look:

"Dilemma: Should I run, or should I run?"

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

I just realized how much PJ looks like a turkey

Hee hee.
Well done sir, and another turkey leg for you.

It's this one that gets me worried:

I'm always like: 'Get up Frank, get back up!' thinking 'is he having angina, or light-headedness?'
