CURIOUS INDEX: 9/10/07

LSU says: This is the end of your life.LSU is a werewolf with a chainsaw for a dick. That’s the prevailing image from this weekend: LSU wolfing out on Virginia Tech in a manner so ugly and decisive only the most surreal of horror movie imagery can cover it. Everyone knew qb Sean Glennon fell under the “liability” category; against LSU, however, Glennon became a null set with a line of 2/10, O TDs, 1 INT, and an early yank for a true freshman on the road against LSU. At that point, you do not hold a clipboard, but rather a bucket of ice containing your freshly-detached balls. Defensively, they’re infected with THE RAGE. Offensively, they’ve become polymaths, using the new Gary Crowton “rag and bone shop” attack–combining everything from pistol-formation option, five wide sets, power runs, the wishbone, the wing-T, the flying wedge, The Von Schlieffen Plan, the opening sets of Rite of Spring and formations only found in Coach Red Beaulieu’s magical University of Louisiana Cougars playbook–to rack up horrendous numbers on the vaunted Hokie defense: 297 yards rushing, 301 yards passing. Their competition’s been weak thus far, but in proof, they’re the nightmares you don’t want right now. Whatever you do, don’t fall asleep… No honesty, please–we’re Southern. Proof positive that Southerners are roaring heroes when drunk and mincing nancies in the public sphere is any and all outrage re: Steve Spurrier’s postgame comments on South Carolina’s 16-12 upset of Georgia on Saturday. “It wasn’t like they were some big, powerful team,” Spurrier said on his television show Sunday. “They’ve actually lost five in a row to Eastern Division opponents. Kentucky and Vandy beat ‘em last year.” And this is controversial because it’s…true? Honest? Accurate? Georgia’s front four defensively skated backwards in the fourth quarter against an O-line that had serious difficulty blocking just a week earlier against University of Louisiana-Lafayette. If this angers you, you should likely consider writing angry letters to the Weather Channel for their consistently accurate forecasting and irresistable smooth jazz tunes. (HEY! No one sets out to be a smooth jazz musician.) ![]() Dissent is patriotic. Seguing nicely into further truth-telling, MZone agrees that saying Michigan’s defense sucks is not just right, it’s a patriotic duty, dammit. Pac 10 Football, CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP. Kind words about Pac-10 football kind words about Pac-10 football!!! Please note that an SEC-centered blog writes the following: Oregon sacked the once-proud city of Ann Arbor, UCLA closed out a game against a very tough BYU team by grinding out a win on the ground, Washington snapped the longest win streak in the nation by beating Boise State, Cal won a deceptively tough game against Colorado State on the road, and Arizona State punished us for paying Colorado a compliment by blasting DIVISION ONE FOOTBAAAAALL Buffaloes 33-14. Only Oregon State’s 34-3 catastrophe against Cincinnati mars a stunning weekend for the conference. The dude in the singlet is our new leader. All hail the singlet. We’ll pay good money for a shot of the USF fan who wore a singlet to Auburn and was caught on camera scratching his balls on national television. Seriously. Like, at least a dollar.

#68 Edsall,
Cocks/LSU might have been interesting if Miles had a head for OBC to get into. It appears Miles has learned to mouth off to the fans/press and let the co-ordinators summon the demons on game nite. Ritual slaughter will follow this team. The only vulnerabilty to the Miles Deathstar is that damn venilation shaft. What do you think The Hat that Must Be Feared has been covering?Tebow will get two chances…hope he’s been bullseyeing womp rats back home.

You’d think that the UW - Boise St. game would have made more waves, but having watched it in person, it wasn’t THAT much to get excited about for Huskies fans. Boise is a shell of the team it was last year, and UW played only a half of solid offense; they couldn’t put a thing together in the second. What’s really scary for Huskies fans is the upcoming schedule: Ohio State, @UCLA, and USC. Ridiculous.

Hate to say it, but USC (east) is not a good team at this point. That seems to be what Spurrier was getting at as well. They beat a bad UGA team (that night at least). USC played decently, and is a decent team, they have a distance to go though still. UGA apparently has even further… USC defense did ok, but if UGA receivers learn to catch that game is not that close…

I saw the USF-bullsporter in the Singlet scratching his balls and replayed over..and over..and over…via the magic of Tivo.
As a Gator living in Tampa, there is nothing classier than a Bulls-fan with a great sense of fashion taste and itchy balls……….

this is probaly the most talented team, by far, in the country…
So they are undoubtedly the most talented team, but there remains a question as to exactly how much more talented they are than everyone else?
As good as they are, I don’t think we’ll see an undefeated SEC team this season. Maybe 1 loss, provided it doesn’t come in the SEC Championship game, will be good enough to get someone to tne MNC game. I may see this sentence in italics followed by “Fuck You PW” in December, but I don’t think LSU can beat UF twice this season.

To 62,
I didn’t say South Carolina was going to win or anything, I just said it became very interesting. Like you’re not going to be just a tiny, little bit worried about Spurrier>? That’s why he’s the Old Ball Coach, drawing up them old ball plays. Besides, he could get so far inside Les Miles’ head during game week that Miles will come out confused, disorientated and muttering nothing but “Click Clack”.

Nic, Re: cats. No shit, go rent the broadway hit “Cats”. I can’t remember exactly when, but somewhere in there near the end is a very vague reference to Michigan football tradition. It’s pretty vague and takes place just stage left and upstage of the main action. You may have to watch the movie 8 or 10 times to catch it. Then once you find it, watch the App State-Michigan game with no sound, and the Cats DVD playing with just souond and no picture. That scene with the vague Michigan football tradition will blow your mind.

Mr. Pelican Pants - That’s the attitude I like to see! The Cocks ain’t shit. No need to consider them. You have bigger fish to fry this year.

Lemme tell ya something- LSU could take on the entire Senior Bowl roster-minus their players of course- and kick their asses up and down the field.
They have a platoon of running backs, wild animals on defense dressed in football uniforms. Hell to make it fair, they should let the offense go both ways and give the defense a break. This is probaly the most talented team, by far, in the country with no real challenges in the near future. South Carolina is not even a blip on the radar. After they get the starting QB yanked after the first 4 INT’s and 2 fumbles, it wont be fair….it will be the same gameplan over and over, get 4 picks and crush their souls, and force their children into slavery , just like the scene in Conan, The Barbarian where the barbarians ride into the village, get off the horses, and James Earl Jones takes his sword and cuts off yo’ mamma’s head and you watch it roll at your feet, in slow motion. That my friends, is LSU football. They’re coming to your town and cuttin yo mama’s head off and taking you with them. The End.

Just in case anyone thought it might take a while for Erickson to really rub off on ASU, the Sun Devils had 8 personal fouls last Saturday. Colorado racked up a whopping 70 more yards of offense than the Fightin’ Dennis Erickson’s gave them in penalty yardage.

Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhardt, called the South Carolina upset all week in his blog for the AJC. He kept saying that Spurrier was up to something, that he was playing the Lou Holtz “they’re too good” card too much and it was fishy. He was right.
I didn’t see the game but I had a feeling Georgia was going to come out flat because of how they pounded Ok. State and got way too many kudos for it. I think Ok. State was overrated and a decent South Carolina team got overlooked.
Who else thinks South Carolina/LSU on Sept. 22 just became a very, very, very interesting game?

Chuck @#40:
Spurrier said this. It was a big early win, but they have to get better if they are going to make an attempt for the SEC East. Ultimately, it may mean a lot or nothing.

ND vs Michigan? Oh Boy!!! Now we can get the answer to the philosophical question-
What happens when an stoppable force hits an movable object? I am sure, if I am forced to watch this game, I will feel so depressed. Lets face it, Charlie Weiss is still pissed about that Gasket By Pass surgery he had and is mad that he lost his lawsuit, and Regis Philben has been put on a suicide watch ever since the beginning of the season.
Lloyd , Lloyd “all null and void ” Carr after his “bitchslap heard round the world” game with App State, with Part Deux in the form of Oregon just using their defense like a $20 dollar hooker, will more than likely get gunned down on the way to the game, by someone in the athletic dept, or any gambler that lost his ass betting on Michigan a) on APP ST and b) thinking Michigan would rebound w/Oregon- if they bet on Michigan in both - are more than likely homeless with two cracked kneecaps that will either have to take a shot by wheelchair or on their belly on the roof of any handicap accessible nearby book depository.
I hear Michigan State enrollment for next semester has gone up as the NCAA has been overwhelmed with Transfer request by just about every form of athlete at Michigan. Recruits that were looking at Michigan have decided to see what App State has to offer.

Right Der Schatten. I saw that earlier and the thing even before that. Just don’t get why he would be breaking a cats neck? What does breaking a cats neck have to do with App State? Just for the hell of it?
PW, i’ll go check out the blog you are talking about to see if that gives me some answers.

Let me add, finally, before I have to return to saving other people money, that my hat is off to Tyrone Nix and South Carolina.
Granted, Georgia laid an egg out there, offensively, but it appeared to me, and all those dressed in garnet and black in the USC section that surrounded me, that perhaps Nix’s defense had something to do with Georgia’s ineptitude.
FYI, if you were sitting in the USC section and you saw a guy in an orange polo and khakis, engulfed by those in garnet and black, that was me.
Apparently, my orange overalls were at the dry cleaners.

Because kittens’ necks are easily broken. And I think it has something to do with MGOBlog “going to the cats” after the App State loss.

Yes, I have basked in the “well, we got our 1 loss out of every 5 years against S. Carolina,” rationalization since last November.
Spurrier should take me on the road with him, as the Gamecocks are now 2-0 along the I-85 corridor in games I have attended since November.
However, I watched the game just salivating at the thought of Spiller and, to a lesser extent, Davis getting to the corners and watching Brinkley lumber in vain in the 4th, attempting to keep up.
Running between the tackles, or between the hashmarks for the most part, versus S. Carolina is a bad idea.
However, the lateral speed is missing.
Florida, Clemson, and, maybe just maybe, Tennessee should be able to exploit this.

He’s NOT crowing, Chuck. That’s the fucking point. The fact that when he brags it pisses you off and when he plays down a win it still pisses you off means he’s gotten all up in yo head. Just where he likes to be.
