Urban Meyer's New House -- Is It Human?

Is it just me, or does Urban Meyer's new house (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/urban-meyer-buys-expensi...) look like it has a human face?

Compare: Urbans Scary New House

vs.:

Castle Grayskull

Look, I'm not a scientist, but is it possible someone made a bet with Urban Meyer, lost, and had to pay the ultimate price of being turned into his house? 

Perhaps most disturbing of all: if you ask me, the house looks a lot like Bear Bryant!

Bear Bryant pre transformation

I don't know what to make of this, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little concerned.

I like it better than RR's (the one he had up here), and it's exponentially better than Tressel's, but I still think that Meyer did not buy a good looking house.

Tressel's OSU era house doesn't look too bad. It's just less ostentacious. It has the weird symmetry thing that Meyer's house seems to have (without the added face) but all in all, not too bad. The front of RR's house old house was fine, but the back aside from the crazy window isn't too appealing. Google tells me Hoke's house is apparently the Big House. Not too surprising.

Judging by what the RR profile shortly after being hired at Arizona was saying, these guys have some unique demands out of a house. Meyer needs a huge place because he has to entertain fifty people on a regular basis, and coaches have short career expectations so building a large house is probably out of the question. Basically, they're stuck with whatever the biggest houses in their area are.

That said, I haven't liked any of them (I haven't seen Hoke's new place) and think they're deserving of all the McMansion scorn they seem to get. If they really can't do any better, I think it's a bit sad.

Go Blue!
