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

CURIOUS INDEX: 9/20/07


Kellen Lewis: 'Bout to redact some shit, lawya.

Aberrant Stats Department: The leading rushing attack in the Big Ten belongs to the Indiana Hoosiers, rushing for 258.7 yards a game. Even morely aberrantish: we write the .7 at the end of that for a reason, since at 258.0 yards a game sits the Illinois Illini. Both teams feature running quarterbacks, which helps--Indiana's Kellen Lewis leads his team in rushing and passing--and have played a combined table of Western Akron Tech types. Only Illinois has played a team of any substance whatsoever, Missouri, who they very nearly unmasked as being coached by Gary Pinkel during a furious comeback in a 40-34 loss to the Tigers. A zillion points, unscripted quarterback improv, and Drew Carey scoring the whole thing according to audience reaction should ensue when the two play on Saturday in their Big Ten opener.

(BTW: Missouri is still totally being coached by Gary Pinkel, the highstrung crew member who after an hour of tense but otherwise dedicated behavior will open the airlock and suck his whole team into space. Twist: he's an unstable cyborg! It's just a matter of time, reader. Grab something stationary in the meantime.)

When the lumbago clears up, you'll play. 59 year old Mike Flynt is looking to get his first playing time of the season for Sul Ross College this week after missing the first two games due to erections lasting longer than three hours. We can sympathize, having missed numerous days of work for the same reason. Damn you, Bound on DVD!!!

We suhrrendaihair! A fishy quote from Tennessee special teams player during the Tenn/Florida game, per UF special teamer Derek Baldry. Naturally, we quote it as fact:

"On the point-after attempt, after the 48th point, one of the guys rushing, I guess, decided he didn't want to go too hard. Instead of shooting through the gap, which is where he would have come through me, he kind of ran into me and kind of pulled up and said 'whoa, whoa, whoa' as if I were going to deliver a hit to him. Verbatim he said, 'I don't want to rush this s--- anymore, I'm too f----g tired.' That's what he said.

Truth? Who knows. Truthy? Certainly.

Notre Dame: big into long contracts. Demetrius Jones will not be immediately released from his scholarship, per AD Kevin White. Jones left the team for the siren song of the Northern Illinois Huskies, a team known mostly for plucky MAC play and recruiting midget running backs of astonishing speed. (Look at them! With their little arms and feet!) Jones literally didn't get on the bus for the Michigan game, enrolled and Northern Illinois, and from the sound of it left his apartment with the 360 humming and the kettle on. (No idea if Jones actually drinks tea or not, but it's funnier if he does. "Fuck this, motherfucker--I just want some fucking Chamomile and my K.T. Tunstall on, and I'll get my spirit right again.")

Leave Coach Fran alone! We won't post it. It's too meta, too internet, too "yes, I waste my time watching Youtube celeb videos." Nope. Not doing it. Resisting. In control. What's that they say on Big Love? Choosing the right? Yeah--we're a busy bee at the hive, choosing the right. That's--

Blogfather, forgive us. (HT: 12th Manchild.)

With any luck, after this weekend the media will put to bed this Juice Williams hype. Right now, as a soph, Kellen Lewis is better than Juice Williams will ever be, imo.

I did have a friend who lit a Coach Fran bobblehead on fire in a parking lot, and then pissed on it to put it out.

I’m not even an Alabama fan but Coach Fran can’t lose enough. For some reason, I really don’t like that guy. And I like Randy Shannon, especially from the really good piece on him from SI a few weeks back. I want to see an old-school Miami ass-kicking tonight.

Sadly, I think the Orange Bowl will be half-full and Aggies win 10-7 in a game so boring your eyes bleed.

Wow. A college football playa correctly using “as if” instead of “like.” I’m impressed, Florida education system. And “verbatim” too!

Illinois is f’ing horrible, yet even that lowly program has rushing yardage on the + side of the ledger.

Hmm, are there any major football programs that have negative rushing yards? For the ENTIRE SEASON??

At least Ill won the Fulmer cup. WOO!!!

Nobody looks good in the Demetrius Jones v. Charlie Weis battle. The university looks catty, and DJ looks like a big baby. kills recruiting in Chicago either way. F***.

(Also, I’m considering leaving law school to offer pro bono services to CW as a media consultant. Lesson #1: Don’t say it’s an open competition at QB, then go out after week 1 and say that you had your guy all along. Even if we know its true, don’t say it.)

Oh, and before Lamar Thomas gets down to field level, George Teague will strip him of his dignity. Again.

And he also used the subjunctive correctly. He’s either slow or Jim Delany is an asshole.

by wilbur on Sep 20, 2007 10:35 AM EDT reply actions  

To be fair:

1) Weis has no role in deciding whether to release DJ from his scholarship—-that is the athletic department’s call.
2) Even if DJ had been released, NIU has no open scholarships left, so he’d have to pay his own tuition either way.

So really, a non-story. Get back to covering how bad the players that are actually on our team are.

by Domer Guy on Sep 20, 2007 10:36 AM EDT reply actions  

Domer, if you really think that Weis has no say in the matter, then…well, might wanna change that D to an H.

Where is the Alabama alum, who, at every Coach Fran mention or reference, brags about participating with/witnessing/sitting on a couch while it was going on upstairs or in a basement/completely lies off his ass for no good reason, the daughter participating in some sort of unseemly act at the Alabama DKE house?

That one never gets old, or actually happened, but I guess I would be pissed, too, if Coach Fran pulled a reverse Bear Bryant on me, were I an Alabama fan.

Cue LSU Josh’s “Mike the Tiger” story, Episode 941, actually I like you this week for obvious reasons, and me saying something derogatory about S.Car, and OOC has his EDSBS morning all taken care of.

Bound, eh?

                           VIOLET
          I have a tattoo, would you like to
          see it?

She moves closer, sliding over the leather cushions as she
opens the front of her dress.

                         VIOLET
          A woman in upstate New York did it
          for me.

She is not wearing a bra.

                         VIOLET
          Here. Do you like it?

Set against the soft white skin of her breast is a bright
green stemmed violet.

                         VIOLET
          It took her all day to do it. She
          promised me it wouldn’t hurt, but it
          was sore for a long time after. I
          couldn’t even touch it.

Corky looks up from Violet’s breast to her dark eyes.

                         VIOLET
          But now I love the way it feels.

She runs her fingers softly over the slightly scarred
skin.

                         VIOLET
          Here, touch it.

Corky feels the blood pounding in her ears as Violet takes
her hand and places it on her breast.

                         CORKY
          What are you doing?

Violet looks at her.

                         VIOLET
          Isn’t it obvious? I’m trying to
          seduce you.

                         CORKY
          Why?

                         VIOLET
          Because I want to. I’ve wanted to
          since I first saw you in the
          elevator.

Corky watches her, trying to figure her out even as her
thumb presses into Violet’s nipple.

Inhaling sharply, Violet’s eyes close, she can feel
Corky staring at her.

                         VIOLET
          You don’t believe me. But I can
          prove it to you.

She takes Corky’s wrist and begins pulling her hand down
her body.

                         VIOLET
          You can’t believe me because of what
          you see…

She forces Corky’s hand between her legs, up under her
dress.

                         VIOLET
          But you can believe what you feel.

Violet opens her eyes, a wanton smile on her lips.

                         VIOLET
          You see… I’ve been thinking about
          you all day.

Corky’s forearm flexes and Violet moans.

With both hands, Violet takes hold of Corky’s forearm.

                         CORKY
          You planned this whole thing?

Violet’s head swims; she is unable to breathe.

                         CORKY
          You dropped that earring down the
          drain on purpose, didn’t you?

                         VIOLET
          If I say yes, will you take your
          hand away?

                         CORKY
          No.

                         VIOLET
          … yes.

Now it is Corky who smiles.

Violet shivers, her thighs rubbing, her hips thrusting
against Corky’s hand.

                         VIOLET
          Please, Corky… please…

Her eyes barely open.

                         VIOLET
          … kiss me.

In a single motion, Corky takes hold of the back of her
neck and covers Violet’s open mouth with her own.

With her hand still stuffed between Violet’s legs, Corky
lays her back onto the couch as the kiss becomes more —

More desperate, more hungry until —

We hear the front door unlock and open.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeenteresting…

It would definately be a trade up from Fran for the Big XII South in entertainment value.
 
In the house party that is the Big XII (oxymoron… maybe), Fran is the guy who has 3 beers, proclaims he’s drunk off his ass, staggers around for about an hour and then, upon realizing no one gives a crap, goes home to masturbate.

In the meantime, Mike Leach is in the corner alternating licking a spark plug and slugging Purple Drank straight from the bottle.

Inviting Houston Nutt to that party definately ups the entertainment value, but be warned… he is clearly on the verge of doing something that will get the cops called on your ass.

Ah, Indiana vs. Illinois. The “Most Unjustifiably Arrogant Fan Bases” Bowl.

I’m rooting for a giant sinkhole under the stadium.

And good onya, ND. By being unecessarily petty and vindictive towards a 19-year-old kid who got jacked around by your coaching staff, you’ve just damaged your recruiting in the Chicago area for the next ten years! Brilliant!

That would make Mack Brown the guy who talks to the hottest girl at the party all night, confident he’s finally getting some after months of frustration.. only to see said hottie jump into ol’ Stoopsy’s ride at the end of the night.

  1. You say it like it is a bad thing.

Baldry served 2 tours in Afghanistan as a Ranger. He joined prior to 9/11. He did not play high school football but Meyer gave him a scholarship because of his work ethic.

Actually, I am pretty sure it went down like this:

While the entertainment value of having Boss Hawg become Boss Ag would be enormous….and more than somewhat appropriate, I hold out hope that we will hire someone without a Kool-Aid ‘stache. Our fanbase might not be able to relate to him, but maybe, just maybe, this mystery miracle worker could stress “Tackling.” Oh, also, a hint to “The U” for this evening: Tackle that fat retarded kid on every play….ya know, the one who’s petting the football like Lenny from Of Mice and Men.

  1. — Not sure where you got envy from my post, but I assure you, I envy Indiana fans and alums about as much as I envy someone with a case of the gout. If you didn’t want that reputation, you should put a muzzle on the disrespectful, profane clowns you call “students” that you sent up to Muncie last fall.

But thanks for inadvertently proving my point with the second line of your post, though.

Anyone catch the UT Defender with the mock-Gator Chomp/throat slash after the Vols returned the pick for a touchdown? It was coming right at me, must have been about 40 yard line or so facing the UT bench…as soon as I saw it I knew they had no chance to come back. I’d love to see a YouTube montage of all the mock Gator Chomps followed by the sudden doom that inherently follows…

And in the Big 12 South house party analogy, I guess that means….

Mack Brown is Wooderson from Dazed and Confused.
Guy Morris the kid who bought the booze so he’d be invited…
Bob Stoops is like Reggie from Archie Comics or Eddie Haskell; supersweet to the authorities, creepy/dirty as hell when Mister Weatherby’s not around.
