Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

CURIOUS INDEX: 9/14/07


It's all downhill from here. At one point in last night's West Virginia/Maryland game, freshman Noel Devine had a rushing average of 40 plus yards per carry. He's peaked! Devine's jitterbug sidesteps were nearly as nimble as the moves various schools made trying to get him qualified to play, and last night was the showcase as to why: in a game where Steve Slaton and Pat White were reduced to chipping away with mere four and five yard runs against a disciplined Maryland defense, Devine ripped off the coup de awesome in the third quarter before Slaton took senior's dibs and scored the td putting what started as a close game out of reach.

Lou Holtz, please never die. And do not stop doing the mock speeches, because they are comedy of a variety we cannot manufacture or copy. Lou's mock speech to motivate Nebraska contained the following gem:

"I'd rather play USC than UCLA. Why? Because USC's easier to spell."

Watch for yourself below.

The werewolf/geauxrillah gains momentum. Get on the bandwagon now! If you haven't seen Joel's Animated BCS race, get over to RTT post haste and watch the latest edition of the chase, which features a Warren Zevon-inspired tip to our labeling of LSU '07 as "a werewolf with a chainsaw for a dick."

Keyboards dusted with powdered sugar and tobacco juice department. Losers With Socks gets ball-deep in the hallowed SEC tradition of one redneck fanbase insisting the others are bigger rednecks; 3rd Saturday in Blogtober has their own response to our list of reasons why Florida rulz and Tennessee droolz; The Power T gloats over Rex Grossman making a bad decision (um...duh?); and Ragin' Cajun Rebel once laughed at Peyton Manning's pain in person.

Bruins have a Booty, too.

Shakira, Shakira! The Karl Dorrell era just climaxed...er, peaked? Shakira took a class at UCLA this summer, which has nothing to do with misfiring West Coast offenses or bizarre losses to in-conference foes, and therefore has Bruins Nation pretty happy. Stranko just began to think of ways to squeeze in another degree, perhaps at one of California's fine state universities...oh, not thinking of one in particular...

I had to pick up my jaw off the floor after Lou’s speech. Shit, even Canis Wheat was sitting there staring at the tv with her head cocked sideways. Surreal. I had to call my dad afterwards to make sure it really happened.

That video link is wrong, or I’m an idiot, and not getting some joke. That was Robert Smith and Desmond Howard in that video…………

It seemed to make sense… as far as the “What’s Important Now” stuff. But the bit about wanting to play USC because it’s easier to spell than UCLA, uhhhh wtf

Notes from a stoned Thursday watching football.

1) Noel Devine needs a Humanity Advanced-type nickname. I called him R1 because that jump stop and shift on his first run was not fair.

2) I would run through a brick wall for Lou Holtz. What a pep talk last night. "We don’t have any obligation to ABC to keep it close." That was great. I bet it was 100 times better than the talk Callahan will give. We know his speech last week was better than what Carr mumbled out.

3) Mark May is legally retarded.

4) Doug Fluite is kind of a prick but it’s okay because he’s Doug F’in Flutie. Living in New England, he’s right up there with Larry Bird and Tom Brady still.

5) Craig James is kind a prick and it’s not okay.

6) Chris Fowler misses Herbie a lot on Thursday night. He reminds me of a guy on the rebound, dating the first girl he could find and hopelessly pining for his X. I imagine he gets nervous and giddy when he sees Herbie for Gameday.

Not one comment on Shakira? I mean, can you imagine if you’re a freshman on your first day of class, and suddenly she walks…glides…shimmies…whatever…into class? Ye gods.

I didn’t bother reading the Shakira article, but I am assuming it was some sort of dance variation class, like something eccentric she found interesting.

Thus, if you were in that class and you were a guy, you were not excited for the right reason.

Begrudgingly, RCR is cooler than me. I had a beer with former Clemson QB Steve Fuller once.

Not quite the same as the Mannings…sigh

I’m not saying I want to fuck Lou Holtz, but what I am saying is, I wish I could wake up every morning to one of his pep talks playfully coaxing me out of bed.

With about 10 seconds left in this video, Lou Holtz has a stroke. I’m not bullshitting. Look at his right eye. It twitches and closes without explanation while the other is perfectly still. That may explain his slurred speech. Lou Holtz has had approximately 9 strokes in his life. He wants a lot of salt on his sandwich(weird joke, you’d have to see the movie ‘Say it isn’t so’ to understand)

A profile of her that ran in the NYT last spring noted that she had hired a tutor to travel with her on her last tour and teach her Italian. Those hips apparently can speak truth in three or four languages. Ay caramba!

"I’d rather play USC than UCLA. Why? Because USC’s easier to spell."

I thought that, while funny on its own, this quote was taken out of context, and surely there must be some sentences around it that make some semblance of sense out of the quote.

I was wrong. Very wrong. It made no sense whatsoever.

FUCK TENNESSEE.

I am ready for this weekend to begin..NOW. Also watching Englad v. South Africa Rugby World Cup. They’re showing it live ~330 eastern because it’s gonna be good..they really don’t like each other.

Girls are way hotter at USC, Stranko, just so you know. UCLA is kind of nerdy. USC is rich, spoiled, and absolutely gorgeous private school girls.

noel devine heard lou’s comments on playing usc vs. ucla and said “yeah, that makes sense”

friedgen is charlie weiss and mark mangino’s biggest fan b/c the robot genius and mangino have diverted 90% of “your coach is fat” jokes away from him – the other 10% is reserved for phil fulmer pursuant to both SEC by-laws and the fact that he’s really, really fat

dr. o’leary has got his boys practicing the option as we speak

looking forward to the ND/michigan cripple fight, or as i like to think of it, this year’s midwestern version of the egg bowl

if washington upsets the fighting sweatervests, i’m putting the O/U on espn talking heads pointing to it as further proof that ND screwed up by firing ty at 5, and i’m taking the over

speaking of upsets, what do you get when you take one of the best mid-major qbs and put him up against a defense with more holes in it than afghanistan? the poke choke baby, friday night edition

Eric,

I have been thinking the same thing. I remember when James left Corso and Franklin for CBS, thinking he was going big time. Then, Herbie comes in and becomes a rock star, and James gets lost in the ether on CBS.

Now James returns to ESPN, tail between his legs, with an extremely bitter array of comments.

And you just know that Herbie has that shit eating grin on his face every time he sees James.

Corporations pay Holtz to give motivational speeches, a sure sign that logic does not prevail anywhere, even in places where their lives are dependent upon generating jing.

Holtz is so bad he’s difficult to parody. Maybe that’s why they have him on with Mark May.

He [God] still wants for you to die and go to heaven.

God wants you to die? No, the State of Florida does…

Lou Holtz apparently not only signed his contract that pays him a lot but also has him agreeing to sacrifice any self-respect he had left. I really don’t believe he wrote that himself. I’m sure he’s having help becoming so bat-shit. I just can’t believe one person could completely shit on his legacy and sanity like that without one person knowing what was coming that could have stopped it. I mean, especially on Leviathan Broadcasting corp.

Lou Holtz vs Steve Spurrier:

Seems like Lou Holtz is about to pass Steve Spurrier as “THE MAN” of the college football world. Like Beavis and Butt-Head would say: “Lou Holtz ought to be on TV every day”
