CURIOUS INDEX: 9/26/07

Coach Fran shockingly unworried. Dennis Franchione remains unworried about his Texas A&M squad following their beating at the hands, feet, and tire irons of the Miami Hurricanes last Thursday night. Because that's what captains do! At times like this, they develop grand strategies! And motivational speeches! Excelsior, Aggies! EXCELSIOR!!! As for explaining why the Juggernaut Jorvorskie Lane got two carries the entire game against Miami, Franchione finally explained what happened. Hint: it involves strategy! And a map of the battlefield with little toy men and flags on it! "They had two outstanding defensive ends," Franchione said. "One of the ways that we hoped to neutralize them a little bit was with the zone read. We didn't get the ball to the edge and do as much with it after that as we had hoped. I certainly wish it would have played out differently than that." Or that you'd watched Oklahoma run right up the fucking middle on them, another crazy response to a team with outstanding speed at the edge. Can you make it all flaming, like it was covered in glorious hellfire? Arkansas fans are passing the hat for a banner to fly over Arkansas games calling for Houston Nutt's head, a la the banner that flew over the Outback Bowl announcing "WE TOLD YOU SO" during the [NAME REDACTED] era. Spell check, people! And also note that after the banner flew for the anti-[NAME REDACTED]s, it still took a loss to coach-killer Sylvester Croom the following season to kill the beast. In the meantime...sometimes even bleeding from the brain stem can't keep you out of the booth. SEC officials, wielding their antigravity hammers of power, though, can. Don't fuck with the MEAC!!! North Carolina A&T and NC Central University got in a huge, pepper spray heavy brawl captured on video. We can't embed the video, so go over to the Wiz to take a gander. If you don't feel like clicking there, well, here's another football fight that's equally awesome in a totally different way. Love me, love me. The Huskers claim they aren't getting the support they crave. Hey! It was Ball State! They almost beat Michigan last...oh, never mind. <!-- End content section --> |

From the Nebraska article:
We’re 3-1 and people are looking at it like we haven’t won," McKeon said. “They’re looking at us like Notre Dame, like we’re 0-4.”
ZING!

I think running to the edge to neutralize players who defend the edge is sound logic. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to finish this absinthe.

I like that Callahan is “visualiz(ing) and envision(ing) the opportunity to win a national championship.”
He sounds really smart.
Best of all, if he’s visualizing really hard, the national championship is already his! He just has to continue visualizing and claim it.

A brawl just isn’t a brawl without Lamar Thomas in the booth.
From now on, I want all my live sports commentary provided by Ray Hudson (soccer nerds say hell yeah) and Lamar Thomas.
Actually, I made this request last year, and somehow Brent Musberger is still on TV. Bollox.

I like A&T’s scoreboard, grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Corey McKeon has soaked up the spotlight the past three years at Nebraska and now he can’t take a little criticism, whaaaaaaaaa! If you think fans should happily accept one point wins at home against Ball State, go play somewhere else.

So, when the OBC loses to Croom at home Saturday, will he and Tubby be “croomed” at the end of the season?

A&M should fire Coach Fran right now. What a moron. What is he thinking? A&M has a 280-pound monster of a running back but they don’t want to run him because of a couple of DLs on a Miami team that got scorched for 51 points against OU? It makes me mad and I don’t care about A&M. That has got to be the dumbest thing a coach has ever said. “Our gameplan was to not use our best player.” Brilliant~!
That Nebraska article made me dislike the whole team. It always comes back to UConn but the local media was asking the players here how they feel about being disrepected, called the worst undefeated team in the country, etc. The response? Fuck ’em, who cares, we need wins. Then over in Lincoln, at a one-time superpower, the players are crying. You think Tom Osbourne would have time for this shit?

I’m disappointed that Orson hasn’t noted the really, really, really, smart UGA fans that were chanting “We want Florida” Saturday night. As Gators— we’re well aware of what happens when you do that— see- 1985— the chant was quite loud after the beatdown of Bo “Take me out of the Game Pat” Jackson and Auburn— and the Dawgs rolled into the Gator Bowl and beat us like a #$%damn drum. Those Georgia fans are almost worthy of a “real men of genius” designation.

Parcellsian fupa….that’s funny and wrong. It just rolls off the tongue like a physics term. Nicely done.

Flash reminded me of another great QB that excelled in times of trouble…The great Houston Nutt who models his coaching off of Flash’s performance because he is a winner and a fighter. Flash also exhibited proper 3point pressure on the ball so he didn’t fumble. He must not have been thinking about credit cards.

Jesus H Christ. When me and my friend were like 14 we rented the original Flesh Gordon. That shit is fucked up/hilarious. I think this must be the sequel from the 80s. Too funny.

#4: There actually is a Cackalacky hot sauce.
http://www.cackalacky.com/
It is pretty good, though, and not that hot, so if they sprayed it, A&T and Central might have started licking one another, which would be a new wrinkle in the footbrawl script.

Off topic, but I wanted to point out that Free Shoes has reinstated Geno Hayes for the Bama game. For wrangling with a cop and getting tasered bro, they only suspended him for the bye week. Hey, its not like he shot the President, right?
I wonder how that works? Does that mean he was precluded from lifting weights in the weight room? Was his punishment that he can’t watch film with the team? WTF does that mean, please tell me St. Bobby?
I can’t wait to see what the punishment will be when one of the FSU players actually shoots the President.
Do the crime, do the climb.

Also, I guess The only way for ND to win 9 games this year is by winning out and winning their bowl game. Here’s to hoping that happens. I think we’ll beat Purdue though.

Either Callahan or Franchione would make a terrific coach for the London Sillynannies, though.

Banners flying over RRS with Fire Nutt on them?

By the looks of things on razorbacktalk.com they just might be smarter than we gave them credit for. Extreme? Maybe. But since when is losing cool? F-it. Go Hogs! (or whatever they say)

I like Fran’s strategy…wear out Miami’s DEs by forcing them to constantly run into the backfield to tackle your ball carriers.
Now, if he could only make the game 6 quarters long…

Corey McKeon spent 30 minutes at the press conference yesterday being the sad clown and talking about how it’s hard for him to go to class now because people are looking at him wondering WTF is going on. Uhh, dude? Nebraska gets more people to attend their spring game than a lot of schools get for regular season games. You as a senior should be EXPECTING this kind of attention by now. Suck it up.

Can I add:

and other variations? Are there really that many people out there who are constantly drinking while reading the internet and then spew through their nose/out their mouth? Do we really have that much trouble ingesting liquids?

Cory McKeon may have a little sand in his vagina, but it’s his giant floppy dick that has him looking slow and constantly out of position.
At least that’s what Bo Ruud told me.

As someone who was present in the visitor’s section in Lincoln on Saturday, I’m too busy trying to get the phrase “nine minutes left, up by nine, with the ball” out of my brain to spend any time feeling sympathy for Nebraska’s players getting grief for winning a game in which they were outplayed from start to finish…
Husker fans can cheer themselves up knowing that we Ball Staters are going to be kicking ourselves for years for letting that one get away…
(All that said, the folks at Lazlo’s in the Haymarket were tremendously nice to us after the game…)

Papa Lou BSU, hope you tried the lavosh at Laslow’s. Even though the “Blackshirts” were pathetic, credit must be given to Nate Davis, he’s good.

Didn’t try the lavosh. The salmon burger, however, was delicious. Also sampled the house-brewed ESB, which ended up being a flavorful way to drown our Cardinal-red sorrows.
Was going to try a Runza, but after a morning filled with tailgate cocktails and the heartburn-inducing ending, I was afraid it would give me the runs-a. (Yes, I came up with that pun all by myself. Yes, I’m 11 years old).

I love how Danny Nutt’s brain stem just decides whether or not to bleed at will.
That’s the most infuriating part of the Nutt situation right now. The fake retirement of Danny Nutt. The reason given is that his brain stem is bleeding again. OK. Then he needs another operation to stop it. It doesn’t just stop on its own, as his miraculous recovery would have you think.
Then again, maybe my fucking prayers have been working on him. THE POWER OF JESUS IS ALIVE.

The only reason you were in the game from start to finish, is that 4 years ago we had an idiot hire an idiot, who hired an idiot, who hired assistant idiots. If not for that, we would have killed you.
