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.

Ducks=Oregon.
Cats’ necks=what Lloyd was breaking this week.
The other two portions of his brain are thinking vaguely about Michigan and bananas.

The Michigan Notre Dame game is the balck hole of college football this season. The two winningest programs, both 0-2, unranked, etc. I never thought I would live to see the day that this perfect storm would occur. Of course I will still watch the game!

Today’s rationalization:
I suppose 1 loss in every five games versus Carolina isn’t too bad. It’s not the worst company to be in: Florida, Tennessee, Clemson(?) And it’s better than Ohio State!

We’ve all been there. Some (us Cock fans) perhaps more than our fair share, but we’ve all been there.
At least you didn’t have a Heisman candidate QB throw five picks against like… oh wait. Sorry.

I think Chuck may be taking the dogs’ loss tougher than I am AU’s. He must be a REAL pleasure to be around.

I think the UM - ND game comes down to who sucks less. I think the game might be called on account of apathy.

One more thing. Darth Visor has been crowing over victories over UGA, UT, UF, and Clemson spread across 3 seasons.
Hate to say it, Stevie, but Vandy and Kentucky have combined to have similar success against those teams over that same time period.
Vandy almost beat UF in 05 and did beat UT in 05 and UGA in 06. Kentucky beat UGA and Clemson last year.
So have you accomplished something or not? Until you string some of those together in the same year, you’ll be right there with Bobby Johnson and Rich Brooks.

New slogan for the Pac-10:

“It’s not like they’re some big powerful team. They just had a better record than we did last year. They just shut us out last year. They just beat us by 18 at home last year They lost to Vandy and Kentucky last year.”

As a Cal fan, I might just have to giggle at the fact that the Pac-10 is getting *gasp* acknowledgment from the SEC. It took victories over Michigan and Boise State to get it, too. Never mind the whooping that Tenn got…

As a UConn/Big East fan, that USF game was beyond nerve-wracking. I don’t know how a USF fan dealt with it. Each field goal attempt was like a kick to the groin…how painful. I still cannot believe Auburn lost. I just assumed they’d figure out some way to win.
I don’t see now how an undefeated Big East could be left out of the national title game for a one-loss team from any conference (as has been talked about by some talking heads). If WFVU beats USF, Rutgers and Louisville…those are three legit top 20 wins. If USF ran the table, they’d have those wins AND one on the road at Auburn.
Wait a minute….USF for the national title?!? Just sayin….

Spurrier does not deal in cliches. Don’t like it? Hire [Name Redacted], he’ll tell you what you want to hear.
CLICK-CLACK.

For a while I thought I had gone back in time and Daniel Cobb was playing QB for Auburn.
The USF fans were definitely an interesting bunch. Reminded me of the days when UCF would come to town. They was so stupid looking, we wouldn’t let our own fraternity brothers from their school into our house.
And that game was the worst reason to stay up till 3 am EVER.

R.U.T.S.- beat me to it, damn you!
In other news: it appears that balance has been restored to the cosmos (caused by all those Michigan fans turning inside-out)- Georgia receivers have resumed dropping crucial passes, you can relax now.

Dont feel bad #16, i still have no clue what the damn cats mean. I must have missed something in the past and have been paying for it for the past 3 weeks. Would someone please have pity on me and explain it? Also the Bananas. The Ducks i’ll assume is for Oregon.

Upon seeing the “singlet” (I consider myself fortunite to lack the word from my lexicon until today) it was going to burn an image in my mind but also thought that dude must be able to back it up too. I thought it was some sort of track suit.
