CURIOUS INDEX: 10/2/07

Michigan forfeits season. But then again, you already knew that. We're not talking about Appalachian State this time--Michigan may have to forfeit the wins against Penn State and Notre Dame after using Artis Chambers, a freshman safety, in games despite being ineligible per the Big Ten's rules. Michigan immediately reported this, both in hope of getting leniency for the oversight and in order to attempt the unprecedented: forfeiting their losses, too. Xavier Lee, starter. Xavier Lee has gone from grumbling malcontent to starter in two weeks following Jimbo Fisher spreading out the formations in the 'Nole offense, putting Lee in instead of sad Drew Weatherford, and seeing what happens. His performance against the Crimson Tide merited promotion to starter, which is precisely what he'll be against NC State this week. We are now taking odds as to whether Lee is really just Adrian McPherson with dreadlocks and six months in a gambling rehab program. We're offering 4-1 behind the Quik Trip on Rockbridge Road, baby. Hit us on the cell. Urban Meyer on losing: "It sucks." This is why he recruits so well. Actually, in text form it reads "Thz sux. u wannna ply crnrbak? Come ON!" We're unsure whether this is funny or not... But it certainly took a lot of effort. and effort's important, right? As long as you're trying, that's what matters. Plus we can't stop watching the animated Jack Hanna stroking his duck repetitively. Perhaps this says more about us than we really care to know. Police say that the shooting of Taylor Bradford, Memphis football player, was a targeted act. There's a maelstrom of outrageous rumors surrounding this case right now. This being something that happened in Memphis, we believe all of them. |

It’ll be a tad chilly in Baton Rouge Saturday night. Tell Urban not to forget the Members Only jacket.
Oh, and some Preparation H and Tucks. Enough for the whole team and fan base.

Xavier Lee a grumbling malcontent? He never complained about not playing, even when it was completely inexplicable why Weatherford remained the starter. Most other highly recruited QBs would have transferred two years ago, but he remained patient and it finally paid off.
I DEMAND A RETRACTION!!!

My vote = that video is not funny.

Dear MSMBC dumbasses:
While the Big Ten is misnamed as there are 11 teams in it, Notre Dame is not one of them. Ergo, the ND-Michigan tilt was not a conference game. As the rule in question is not an NCAA rule but is instead a Big Ten rule there is absolutely no chance in hell that Michigan will be forfeiting to Notre Dame.
I would further mock the lack of professionalism in this article, but alas it would still compare favorably to the job Michigan’s coaching staff has done against the spread.

Urban Meyer’s pain is delicious. The Top 10 list is mostly not funny, though the horsefly stealing the little girl was kinda funny.

Not to be a glory hound, but I did bring up the Michigan story yesterday after I found the link on Fark. Check under “Good Morning!” #16.

I wonder if the animated blogpoll will make use of the “tough and accurate vagina” metaphor this week. I’m not sure this is something I’d want to see.

- - No. Artis Chambers was not eligible due to a Big Ten conference bylaw; he was cleared by the NCAA. The only game in question is the Penn State game, as the matter with Chambers was discovered shortly after, and he did not play against Northwestern. The Notre Dame game is not in the equation.
Unfortunately for Penn St, Anthony Morelli was eligible too. I’m sure the Nittany Lions fans would happily forfeit him.

What the hell is going on with the Artis Chambers’ deal? Does anybody know? I didn’t think so. As Brian @mgoblog said, making Michigan forfeit the Penn State game would be like giving a kid the chair for smoking pot. Its ridiculous, ludicrous, preposterous and all those other -ous words!
by Seth on Oct 2, 2007 10:39 AM EDT reply actions
- And even Penn State won’t get a win if the Michigan game is forfeited, the game would go down as a loss for both teams, as happened with Oklahoma’s games.
Thumbs down on the ’toon from me too.

I’m from Texas, love my Horns, and can laugh at a good joke (no matter who it is aimed at)…but, that video chocked on a big Longhorn cock!!!
By the way, how come no one is talking about the shooting here in Gainesville and the fact that the police have questioned Reggie Nelson and some unidentified current UF players???

Even as a UM fan, if Oregon or App State had a player with the same kind of violation/play time, I wouldn’t politic for a forfiet. I feel confident will get this right, just like the Big 10 network.

The video was about as funny as wearing the wrong team colors into a gay redneck bar and leaving with a torn scrotum.
by Jorgé the Bass Player on Oct 2, 2007 10:48 AM EDT reply actions
Well, Nelson was apparently gone before it happened. I’m curious about the current Gator players though, and what they had to do with anything. So far I get the impression that they were just witnesses. Also, Tony Joiner’s burglary arrest is pretty entertaining. Perhaps the lack of discipline is catching up to the Pope? Hmm.

This OU cartoon reminds us of one of the great things about college football.
It’s a place wear a school known for its inbred hick fanbase can make fun of another school known for its inbred hick fanbase by calling them inbred hicks.

One thing that we seem to be proving here in Gainesville is the fact that no matter how talented the Joiners and Nelsons of college sports and new NFL recruits are…they are still stupid kids, making stupid decisions and in the shadow of such dumb ass choices as made by the likes of Vick, they have the unbelievable knack of pissing away millions…based on that exact level of stupidity.

Joiner’s an idiot for doing that, but we know TWO people who both stole their cars back from Watson’s Towing in the 1990s. One got away with it.

Are we sure it was for a girlfriend?
I’d do a lot for a GF I actually cared about – kill a hobo for sport, kiss our starting QB on national TV, etc. – but break her car out of pound-you-in-the-tailpipe prison? F that.

Gerry, Chainsaws leaves terrible wounds and horrific scarring. I recommend aloe and neosporin long term as well.

The irony of that OU video is priceless.
First, if it weren’t for Texas, where would OU grads go for jobs?
Next, if Oklahoma were a city in Texas, it wouldn’t even be the most populated.
Third, Oklahoma making fun of Amarillo is funny because, geographically, Amarillo might as well BE Oklahoma — without the unemployment, alcoholism and state income tax.
Oklahoma has football. That’s it. They should really stick to debating on those merits and leave class, beauty, smell, and incest out of the equation.

I’m sure they would’ve let him drive away if they knew his girlfriend was Tebow.
But seriously, $76?! The Gainesville I know wouldn’t let you get your car back for any less than $120.

If there was an equivalent to the War Crimes tribunal in the Hague for crimes against comedy, that Sooner stinker would be the first exhibit against its creator – and reason enough to convict. That’s Napoleonic-exile-to-Elba bad.
As for the unguents that Florida fans should bring to Baton Rouge, I’m pretty sure that neither astroglide nor preparation H are going to do much good against a chainsaw dick. I’m not a medical professional, but I did make the mistake of watching Tetsuo The Iron Man, and the young lady didn’t exactly walk away.

I saw Testsuo well over 10 years ago – you may remember the olden times when if you wanted a freakshow foreign film, you had to rent VHS tapes from independent rental stores. All Netflix ever did was give me a more expensive way not to watch the films I rented.

I didn’t notice that before…but it’s a nice little reference to the bad replay call from the OU-OU game last year. Otherwise, that video mostly sucked.
I’m not a fan of either team, but I do give the OU fans credit for one of the funniest message board threads I’ve ever read. It was a spoof on Mack Brown’s recruiting prowess a few years ago, which showed how he’s recruiting Taliban jihadists and all their jihadist stats. Hilarious.

JoePa wouldn’t accept a forfeit from Michigan because of a kid who only made 1 assisted tackle on special teams but was NCAA eligible, just because Big10 rules don’t allow summer school grades to count towards your GPA, for an early enrollee no less. I’m not sure what the appropriate punishment is as it is unclear what the actual violation is. I guess his first semester, his GPA was bad (early enrollee last January) so he took summer courses to boost it and become NCAA eligible. It sounds like the Big 10 doesn’t allow summer course to count towards athlete eligibility. That blows my mind because it counts on your transcripts. The alternative is that he took summer classes in high school to graduate early, and those don’t count towards your GPA, but that doesn’t make sense either.

The Amarillo bit was in reference to the stockyards, I suspect.

The “Stockyards” are actually located in Ft. Worth (also previously known as “Cow Town”). I really didn’t get the Amarillo reference…especially twice!
by MoJoe on Oct 2, 2007 4:24 PM EDT reply actions
Even as a Sooner fan, that video was abysmal (like our offensive performance vs. Colorado last weekend.)
- - you obviously have never been to Amarillo.
(as an aside – if by "Amarillo they are referencing the smell from the stockyards, they should visit the feed lots down near Hereford and rethink that statement.)
