CURIOUS INDEX, 8/24/07

Army’s hired a giant as a coach. A literal giant who’ll have his men running forward to the line of scrimmage at the snap, if alumni grumbles are to be believed. 6′7″, 295-pound Stan Brock now ranks as our second coach to get behind in a fight (number one being Rich Brooks, who looks every bit the savage old nut-ripper we imagine him to be. “Eyes and testicles–that’s where you get ‘em, boys!”) Army fans have complained of his only head coaching experience being a stint in the Arena League, but fail to realize anything constitutes an improvement over Bobby Ross, who has been dead since 1997 and played instead by veteran character actor Ned Beatty. And Notre Dame’s quarterback will be…Joe Theismann! Charlie Weis continues to fuel a non-story by non-divulging who his non-experienced new quarterback will be. By all reasonable guesses, it’s Evan Sharpley. In our most delirious fantasies, he unveils a monkey with a helmet on at the press conference and dares Irish fans to criticize him before starting Sharpley anyway. (Marques Slocum would steal dat muthafucka and sell him!) Watching Lou Holth take the obligatory “pro” side for the monkey should fuel your hypothetical theater machine for the morning. Conquest Chronicles explains USC RB Chauncey Washington’s injury. For USC news involving joint injuries, no one is more qualified than Jim. Seriously: he does this shit for a living. Tennessee’s playbook revealed! LWS has a brilliantly inventive Tecmo Bowlish version of the Tennessee playbook. It’s not the Randy Sanders version, though, so it’s missing the crucial “throw ten passes to the fullback” gameplan from the 2002 game. Troy Fleming was just one step away from breaking one of those for, oh, we don’t know, at least another three yards. LSU racking up Fulmer Cup points. You’re still paling in comparison to Illinois, though a late arrest of Derrick Odom does net points we’ll assess on Monday. But they’re still trying…still livin’ to win, baby. LIIIIIIIIIVE!!! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

When you get better in the trenches.

To 22,
I’m not discounting Tech’s defense but ND’s O-Line SUCKED last year. Everyone placed the blame on Quinn but he was just trying to survive out there. I felt sorry for him as he ran for life against Tech & Michigan. If what Weis has said is true, the O-Line will be better and might possibly block some good defenders this year.
I think ND is winning another ugly 14-10 game over Tech. I fail, personally, to see the hype in Georgia Tech. I know Reggie Ball sucked but how can you get better when you lose the best player in the country?

wait till the story comes out on Cook…dude was standing there with another guy beside Cooks car on campus, the other guy had a gun. As the cop walked up, the guy opened Cooks car and stuck the gun in there to hide it. The cop asked what was going on and Cook told the cop that the guy just hid a gun in his car. but since it was cooks car he was also detained, even though he didn’t know the guy was going to stick his gun in his car.
I don’t even know why Cook was arrested, to be honest with you. FYI, that guy has been a model student and teammate since he’s been here.

I’ve passed along your garish omission that The Orgeron isn’t the unyielding, flesh-eating death golem of D1 coaching, along with the required daily tithing of stewed rabbit and Ben-Gay required by all Ole Miss alumni.
Prepare for the wrath.

ND’s gonna look mighty hard at their “Golden Boy” after the 4th or 5th sack on a blitzing Tenuta defense.
