CURIOUS INDEX, 8/20/07

Dan Hawkins is just trying to teach his son how to be a QB in the BIG Twey-ulve (not intramurals)!

Cody will be the starter, yes. But only because Coach Hawkins called all other QBs “pussies” for needing an offensive line to “hide behind”.

Cody will snap the ball to himself and make plays or his father will find a worthy QB…and son.

Pete Carroll left the NFL cuz’ he sucked ass at coaching the Patriots.

I hereby propose the NFL Cup – a bracketed football tourney pitting CFB teams with former NFL head coaches, to include at least Wannstache, Gailey, Carroll, OBC, and anyone else I’m missing.

Somebody get me a helmet, quickly!

USF plays Elon the first week. Auburn plays the linemen-impaired Bulls on 9/8 available on ESPN2 and ESPN2HD.

the Bulls sit 12 days shy of an opening match with Auburn 19 days shy of a 2nd week match with Auburn.

Let’s try this again (not all HTML code works here, apparently):

the Bulls sit 12 days shy of an opening match with Auburn 19 days shy of a 2nd week match with Auburn.

HFS—We’ve never been happier to make an error. We’d assumed all along that it was on the fantastic first week of games, and that we’d be missing it due to a wedding the night of the 1st.

Normally, we’d be slamming keyboard right now. Instead, like Joe Namath, we are strug-guh-ling, but want to kiss you for the news.

Pete Carroll must think he’s died and gone to heaven to be away from the NFL.

I’ll take the bear, and give the points.

This ain’t no intramural body-surfin’ brother!

Why is Hawkins wrestling Orgeron?

Orson – glad that’s such good news. Now you’ll be missing the Auburn/Kansas State slugfest (not to mention Tenn/Cal).

Allow me to introduce the starting defense for the Crimson Tide…(dang, hope this works…)

Didn’t work….:-(

Orson, you may not know this but back in L.A. “body surfing” is just slang for “doing outrageous amounts of cocaine.”

Just FYI.

“I don’t understand that at all. With the clock running low they should just run the ball! That’s not a good decision.”

Fuck you video-game Herbstreet

It is extremely necessary for you to comment on a WWL story about Saban gutting his Red Man nugget with coffee and Oatmeal Cream Pies.

I can’t believe he has time for this shit.

What the hell did Castille do if drinking and fighting were not involved? Kitten juggling?

No question that LV bag was a hand-me-down from Mr. Metrosexual himself, Tom Brady.

Never mind the bag hand-me-downs, what about the women? How much for the women?

No kidding! I’ll take Bridget as a hand me down, kid and all, and I call dibs when he breaks up with Giselle. But oh, fuck, I’m not a QB.

#5, #18:

“Hey, the defense can do somersaults, or even a triple sow cow. Just as long as they keep the offense out of the endzone.”

“Did you just say sow cow?”

“Yep. I dated one back in college. Man, could she cook.”

I don’t even wanna know, VG Corso.

Orgeron has a 15yr old son. I feel the need for a counter until the kid is eligible for sumbigbawfootbaw.

Obviously the US will need to send Dan Hawkins to go rough up this bear….

That is not dacoachO. Dat is Fulmer in a dis-guize he is rasslin’.

Who Cares Dept:

Who cares if Pete Carroll was mediocre in the NFL?

What matters is that he is NOW the best college football coach in America.

Class of 07, thank you. For some reason I love to hear about drug slang.

“That’s when you go to the air my friend….SHHHHHWIIIP! Over the top.”
Yeah thanks Corso. Why don’t you just tell the guy the exact play I’m calling next.

1. Amen to that SKLM. Saying that Carroll got mediocre results with the Patriots is fair. But since he never coached the team to a losing season and he took them to the playoffs 2 out of 3 years, saying he “sucked ass” certainly isn’t accurate.

But as a USC fan I’m happy he had that experience, since in spite of the rumors every year, he isn’t going anywhere. At USC he has the chance to be the John Wooden of CFB and still get in lots of good body surfing. He isn’t going to give that up, no matter what Jim Harbaugh says.

You know, Carroll gets a lot of credit for coaching some incredible players, but to be honest with you, I am not sure I would place him head and shoulders above everyone else as his teams totally mail it in at least once or twice a year. Some years they get away with it- 2004 and 2005-6, some years they haven’t 2003 and 2006.

Meg, every team has some off games. There are a very small number of undefeated teams that looked great in every game over the whole history of CFB.

Sure recruiting is a huge part of the job, but he gets credit for that part of the job too. I think 6 losses over 5 years (none at home) with the biggest margin of defeat being 3 points does put him way ahead of his nearest competitor. And what clinches it for me is the strong tendency for USC teams to play better as games go along (see last year’s Rose Bowl for example) and to play better as the season goes along (USC is still undefeated in the month of November under Carroll and is 4-1 in BCS bowls).
