Around SBN: Gary Carter, Mets All-Time Great Catcher, Has Died

WEEKEND REVIEW ONE: WWTHD?

The quick shots on the weekend as delivered to you by our wobbly barkeep:

--Impending mancrush alert: we love Jorvorskie Lane, and can't tell him. Mainly because we're over here behind the bushes being too damn scared to look directly at him. Craig "Ironhead" Heyward vibes radiate off the 5'11", 265 pound on a day when he hasn't eaten his weight in shrimp cocktail running back. He displayed enough raw manhood to clear the fog of skullduggery surrounding smarmy fading genius Franchione, running brutal yards against Missouri for 28 carries, 127 yards, and one thundering touchdown. Guard the buffets of College Station, and Lane can already begin shopping for real estate in Pittsburgh, where Bill Cowher is already jonesing for someone to satisfy his fat running back fetish.


Lane: only threatened by injury and Chinese impotence cures.

--Terry Hoeppner continues to say "tumor, schtumor" by coaching through brain surgery and making Indiana the must-watch ticker shocker of your early Saturday college football viewing. Indiana all but cements poll darling Iowa's exit from the top 25 by defeating them 31-28 and then celebrating like they haven't been there before. This is totally acceptable because they haven't, and can by rule ham it up as they please after kicking Iowa's corn-fed ass.

Players weren't just in the first row in the post-game celebration--they were whole sections up into the stands, swimming in a sea of back-patting red sweatshirts. Hoeppner seemed beyond joy. Next time you think about calling into work sick, ask yourself: do I have a tumor? If the answer is no, then go, because that's what Terry Hoeppner would do. If the answer is yes, get it removed and show up to work a week later at the latest with the staples still in your head, because that's what Terry Hoeppner would do.

"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

--Myles couldn't address questions surrounding an ongoing investigation,

Star-divide

but Josh at the Double-A Zone did get him to at least discuss the procedures that will be followed in the Reggie Bush inquiry.

--We didn't see the Michigan--Penn State game, but Brian did, and what he saw was not pretty for Penn State:

Michigan has still not been threatened this year. No opponent has moved the ball except when fortunate or permitted to. Its dominance is unquestioned by the foes it leaves battered in its wake. Sometimes -- and I know this is hard to believe -- seven points is a very large lead indeed.

Black Shoe Diaries concurs:

The Michigan defense is friggin' good. Clearly the best we've seen all year. It's easy to see how they put the BEAT DOWN on Notre Dame. If I were a Buckeye, I would be worried.

--Our viewing of the Vanderbilt/Georgia game was efficient viewing. It consisted of this:

1. Sit down, enjoy 5 dollar double tall vodka tonic. (Viva Auburn drink prices!)

2. Watch Vanderbilt kick winning field goal.

3. Verify that drink was not spiked with hallucinogen, and then ask if drink number two could be.

Losing to Vanderbilt can derange even the most even-keeled of fans, but Georgia fans may take solace in that they were simply the victim of a trend: Vanderbilt is no longer the designated purple-nurple-taker of the SEC, having taken Florida to the wire last year in Gainesville, beating Tennessee in Knoxville in '06, and nearly beating a misfiring Alabama team this year. (Is typing "misfiring Alabama team" redundant with Shula as coach? We think so.) Georgia just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when Vandy crossed the border from being "a respectable scrapper" to "a respectable mid-size sedan" team.

Bobby Johnson has found his special purpose: coaching Vandy to respectability.

The kiddie table now hosts the entire state of Mississippi and sometimes Kentucky, but nevertheless Georgia fans are resorting to desperate measures. Kyle's quoting Elizabeth Kubler-Ross; Kanu's referencing The Jerk. Paul's just plain resigned. We advise all of them to review game tape of their October 28th opponent to cheer up, since their defense is apparently baffled by passes into the flats and their qb cannot make effective passes if "there's people running at me and yelling and stuff."

Richt, though, denies rebuilding. We're also totally not addicted to Project Runway. Not. At. All.

Rutgers beat the hell out of Navy. Despite knocking out our starting QB, they thoroughly dominated all aspects of the game.

The Navy/ND game just got a lot less interesting. The two sophomores that are battling for the newly-created opening at QB aren’t exactly looking like world beaters. Note to self: go to the OSU/Minn. game and read about ND blowing up Navy on Sunday morning.

Seriously, everyone is pointing to the WVU/UL game as a BCS playoff game, but don’t sleep on Rutgers. They could definitely throw a wrench into Mike Tranghese’s grand scheme.

IF you like Lane, you need to check out Wisconsin’s PJ Hill, all 5’11" 245 lbs of him….now second in the NCAA in rushing after tearing up Minny for 164 yards on 25 carries….and he’s a freakin’ Freshman…dammit….

AUAlum—Bodega’s. Cheap booze.

Adam—watch his reaction when accused. He totally did it. There’s no way of proving it, but that flash reaction looks like someone who got caught.

by Orson Swindle on Oct 16, 2006 1:00 PM EDT reply actions  

As much as it pains me, I have to concede that Lane is a better Hank the Tank than Hank the Tank. Our behemoth RB still dances too much rather than lowering the boom and plowing through defenses.

“Georgia just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when Vandy crossed the border from being "a respectable scrapper" to "a respectable mid-size sedan" team.”

We’re talkin’ ‘bout the same Georgia that tried so hard to prevent Colorado’s 8th loss on that streak TT stopped at 10?

Right now Georgia is not a top 25 team no matter how many SEC coaches kept them there when the AP dropped them.

it would seem that way, but PR edits the hell out of that show. if you had a camera on you all day, we could easily cut and paste something where we ask you if you like to shoot up babies with heroin, and then a reaction shot where you look guilty.

OMG!!! I luv PRW too! I think he might have cheated. Just the reaction that came out of him. I also hate that red hairerd bitch. Could you imagine if that was your wife?

Face it—The Georgia offense hit the skids the moment that freak of nature tight end graduated last year.

They started to show some signs of life against Tennessee, but as soon as that happened, the officials told the Vol DBs to just grab the receivers.

The red haired bitch seriously needs to go, she’s even worse than Jeffery (and he’s a hard core asshole). He also happens to be the best at construction of the entire group, so it wouldn’t really suprise me if his clothes were better made than everyone elses.

Michael should win, on the strength of being from the ATL, not being a complete tool, being rumored to be dating Brandy, and actually making clothes it looks like somewhat normal people would wear once in a while.

And no, I haven’t watched every single episode so far this season. NOT AT ALL.

Lane, Hill, and Jeruu Tha Damaja are all loads and fun to watch.

But if Lane is represented by the Rhino picture above, be advised that there is a Yetti out there that has not yet been confirmed with a visual sighting, but if actually seen should destroy them all.

There is a backup RB at Hawaii named Reagan Mauia, who is listed in Phil Steele (p. 224) as 6-0, 303, but if you read the “Running Backs” section he is referenced as weighing THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS (for a frame of reference, Lane is listed at 5-11, 275)

Yes, I wasted time on Saturday intermittently checking the Fresno-Hawaii game for a sighting, but never saw the elusive beast.

Swindle, this is the elusive Hawaiian Sasquatch. That earthquake last night was probably him tripping and falling over. I call on you and your legion of followers to get a visual and prove that he exists.

This just in: the governor of Georgia is taking the Nashville Tennessean to task for daring print the headline “Vandy Upsets Georgia.”

He ranted in an email to the newspaper that Tennessee periodicals were always delighting in negatively reporting anything about Georgia, especially football. He added that two weeks running, the Nashville and the Knoxville papers gave favorable coverage to teams that played Georgia, and that despite losing the should respect the Bulldogs “because of who they are.”

jeffrey seems to me to be the person i would most likely hang out with. his “feminazi” comment aside, he seems cool, and a lot of the crap he gets is from the episode with angela’s mom. michael seems WAY to nice. that would drive me crazy. also, that dress he made for the last challenge was TERRIBLE. and the shirt with the gold sequined pockets. very TJ Max.

I think Michael should win just based on the fact that he make wearable clothes. But I am pulling for neck Tatoo.

I haven’t watched an episode. Not once.

If you’re man enough to coach at IU…and win…you’re man enough to laugh at death.

Hoeppner is the true Zen coach, not that poor sob Hawkins. Although, to his credit, Hawkins isn’t hung up on winning.

Ohiodawg:
Is it just at IU, or is it other Big 10 schools too? IMO, [NAME REDACTED] and [NAME ALSO REDACTED] are pretty bold men to be coaching at their respective schools, but neither has earned the right to “laugh at death”…although [NAME ALSO REDACTED] will likely be laughing at the death of this MSU stint at the conclusion of this year.

#12,

 He was stuffed b/c a pulling guard completely whiffed on a block, allowing the Army DE to come through untouched and stop Lane.
 The irony is, that DE played a horrible game, but everyone remembers him for that one play.

Arkansas, Tenneesse and LSU still have to play each other. The sad thing is that Auburn should root for Arkansas to beat Tennesse or LSU. They’d avoid a rematch with Florida for the SEC title and if USC loses and WVU, Lousiville, and Rutgers trade losses, then Auburn might bye into the BCS title game.

by Canuck on Oct 16, 2006 3:06 PM EDT reply actions  

“The Navy/ND game just got a lot less interesting.”

Or it just got a lot more interesting since this means that Notre Dame actually stands a chance to win the game, whereas before Rutgers took the Middies to the woodshed it looked like Navy’s game to lose.

I know my team is struggling right now, but at least we’re not pimping a CUSA level schedule to get an at large BCS bid.

by rebel84 on Oct 16, 2006 3:07 PM EDT reply actions  

Sorry, ND is ranked 13th in SOS*. The academies will drop that and USC will move it up, but the end SOS number will match up with the top 3 BCS conferences* (Pac10/ SEC/Big 11), not the bottom 3 (BigEast/Big12/ACC).

(SOS, conference rankings from Sagarin)

by Canuck on Oct 16, 2006 3:20 PM EDT reply actions  

The idea of [NAME REDACTED] as a head coach anywhere still mystifies me. While calling out an entire fraternity might be cool for another fraternity, it seems like a career limiting move for a head coach. To put it mildly. I think the powers that be in Champaign are out of their minds.

I don’t know if [NAME ALSO REDACTED] has always been as loosely strung as he clearly is now, but at least he had a defensible track record as a coach, with some significant head coaching experience.

Plus, Illinois and MSU both have some history, and Illinois was even in the Sugar Bowl in 2002. Indiana has great tradition in basketball.

So I may be splitting hairs at this point in the season, but I think picking up the head coach reigns at IU is reserved for a flat out loser or a true man. Hoeppner being the latter.

by Ohiodawg on Oct 16, 2006 3:21 PM EDT reply actions  

I think we need to officially rename Jorvorskie Lane. He is now KOWALSKI, from Ren and Stimpy.

by BC Eagle on Oct 16, 2006 4:13 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, rebel, you are right.
I mean ND has only beaten Navy 42 times in a row.
I don’t see a trend there. Do you?

by gamecocktony on Oct 16, 2006 4:29 PM EDT reply actions  

Sorry, Canuck, but your statement that Auburn should root for Arkansas against Tennesee or LSU is flat out wrong.

Arkansas looses one of those games, it still goes to the conference championship game. Have to loose 2, for Auburn to slide in.

For the record, we don’t eat corn in Iowa. We grow seed corn, feed corn, and corn for ethanol. But there ain’t much sweet corn around here.

Orangeblood, Lane is fat. Why does the man need to stand on the side line while the offense flails away in some attempt to move the ball beyond the line of scrimmage? Cheeseburgers and oxygen keep the Lane train moving.

Agree, though, with the assessment of Hank the Tank. He needs to lower his shoulders and run north-south. He reminds me of a 95 pound golden retriever that thinks he is a 25 pound lap dog. Run, Henry, run.

Thanks for the J-Train love. Jorvorskie is already a legend in Aggieland.

As a freshman he carried the ball 117 times and was stopped for a loss only 5 times. So far this year he has 102 carries and only 5 negative carries.

He’s got 14 TDs already this year and on 3rd and 4th down he has converted on 22 of 25 carries (either a 1st down or a TD).

The play he will go down in history for was his bonejarring block against ISU last season. If you watch carefully, you’ll see that he pancakes the same guy twice. Unfortunately for that guy he got up from the first one.
