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.

Also, this may be the funniest ND spoof I’ve read in my life.

“Chainsaw for a dick?”
I may never get that visual out of my head.

I’m not saying Michigan is having problems with their defense, but the Gophers defense is pointing and laughing…

ND’s “offense” vs. Michigan’s “defense”?
Awesome…

If Michigan and Notre Dame play and nobody wins…do Holthz and May still make a sound?

I am thrilled for this saturday’s michigan game. And by thrilled I mean getting horribly inebriated.

OK, after some deliberation, I now get the duck reference. Bananas, however, remain unaccounted for.

I don’t want to get too cocky because I know Penn State is still going to lose against Michigan, however:
I think that a lot of Michigan fans are putting too much emphasis on the “we can’t defend the spread offense” excuse. Were Oregon and Appy State running spread defenses, too?

OK, I’m lost. What’s with the duck and bananas?

Watching Oregon go Jet Li on Michigan…I found myself wondering how John L. Smith got on Big Blue’s coaching staff…that’s the only real explanation for what’s going down.

Poor kittens. Appearantly Mike Belotti is a dog person.

Spurrier is the best advertisement ever for The Art of War. “Pour sand in your opponent’s armor,” indeed. The measure of how crazy other people get about his comments, is the measure of their success.

Let’s just say I was beyond confused sitting in Sanford Stadium on Saturday night.
I hate you, but I hate you, too. Oh wait, I still hate you (USC) more.
Seriously, if Stafford wasn’t throwing over somebody’s head, somebody was dropping his passes. It was, in a word, insane.
It was a deceptive win, more a loss for Georgia in my extremely biased opinion, but I will be “darned” if Boyd and Mike Davis did not run all over Georgia in that last drive for 3 consecutive first downs. I am guessing Munson did not use the “hobnailed boot” reference in that last drive. Ha…

The entire USF fan section looked like extras from “The Birdcage”, actually

I thought i was the only one who saw the wrestling uniform. But alas, my Tivo jilted me.

The singlet image can be downloaded from my brain, and should be done immediately before I inhale enough Dust Off to cordon off the cells forever.

Spurrier’s comments are technically true, but it’s still an asshole thing to say. Which is why people love and hate Spurrier, because he speaks like the asshole he is, unlike most asshole coaches. UGA still should have won the game, fucking Stafford and the receivers. God damn frustrating.

… yet USF isn’t officially ranked. #26 in the AP, #27 in the USA Today (Auburn is #26!). Outrage.
I was impressed with USF’s turnout on the Plains. I can’t wait for UF to inevitably bump their game back 3 more years.

Orson, we got the idea after downing a fifth of Evan Williams and watching American Werewolf in London and Evil Dead II back-to-back.
My only message to Florida fans is thus: Come with me if you want to live.

Unbelievable for Auburn. I can’t remember the last time they lost on the plains at night. Crazy.
Bama looked great (against Vandy) nonetheless.
And Georgia got burned by Darth Visor….again….
What a great weekend.

Auburn fans are taking Notre Dame’s chant from the last week: “Thank goodness for Michigan!”
OK, Notre Dame is probably still using it again this week, too.

To preempt the inevitable comment from a wrestling-coach friend of mine, “it’s not just a singlet; it’s the required uniform!”
But I guess that is one way to tell the bulls from the steers. (Ewww. I think I just squicked myself.)
