Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

CURIOUS INDEX, 10/4/07


[ODDS REDACTED] Illinois is favored by 2.5 points at home this weekend against the Wisconsin Badgers. They're getting better and better. Not only do we see improvement, but Vegas sees improvement, as well. Any and all problems are correctable! This may be as much an indicator of Wisconsin's wobbliness than Illinois's surprising early 4-1 run, since the Badgers have staggered through their wins in unimpressive fashion.

Honey dips!

Big Boi will perform with the Georgia Tech band at halftime during the Jackets' game against Virginia Tech on November 1st. Outkast played Gainesville once during our tenure at the University of Florida, ending their set with the announcement "Honey dips! All you honey dips! We in room 413 at the Holiday Inn. Come holla at your boys!" If Big Boi promises to invite all the ladies in the crowd to his hotel room on national television, this will actually be close to being worth purchasing a ticket to watch football coached by Chan Gailey.

Tennessee's athletic director says that this weekend's Georgia game won't determine the future of the Tennessee coaching staff, including the head Riblet-teer himself Phil Fulmer. This means this weekend's Georgia game with determine the future of the Tennessee coaching staff, head Riblet-teer Phil Fulmer included.

Radio! Suit up! Southern Miss truly was an object of torment for the football gods last night. And we don't mean your merciful Semitic gods, either: we're talking cruel, fire-tongued Hittite demonlords at work, here, as the Golden Eagles, already down to their third string qb Martavious Young, lost him on the third play of the game with a broken ankle. Injured second stringer Stephen Reaves came back in despite a strained oblique muscle and threw four interceptions and fumbled twice, proving that the oblique muscle is attached to every vital organ or muscle involved in being a quarterback.

Despite six turnovers, the Golden Eagles only lost to Rice 31-29.

Oh, this is so grossly unfair. Speaking of Southern Miss...you may thank SMQ for this. Oh, and enjoy. Because you will.

It’s not Vegas that sees improvement in the Illini, it’s the bettors that simply see a gift. The line opened at Wisconsin (-1.0). It had switched to Illinois (-2.5) within two days of activity.

Yesterday the LV Hilton had slid even further to (-3.0), but it’s come back to (-2.5).

Here’s where [REDACTED] really shines. When he SUPPOSED to win… he doesn’t.

All eyes on you, RONNIE!

wow, Mark Mangino must outweigh Charlie Weis by at least 100-150 pounds. I’m amazed he didn’t have a heart attack on the sidelines there.

“Martavious” sounds like the name of an extra in some Roman gladiator movie

I want to see “Property of Matthew Stafford” painted all over Fulmer’s titties.

What I learned watching the Southern Miss game last night: Sonic will serve douchebags, or at least people acting as such.

Wow. I might go to Vegas and try to win myself a new car with that Wisconsin line. I don’t think Wisconsin is great or anything but I just cannot see them losing to the Redacteds.

I’ve never been so excited for a Georgia Tech beat-down in my entire life.

Here’s hoping that Bennett won’t run out of the back of the endzone like another certain GaTech QB during a vital Thursday night VaTech match-up.

Here’s the question of the day for everyone…

Who looks the most disgusting in HD? Mangino, Weis or the Fridge?

Personally, the Fridge on HD against West Virginia gave me nightmares and I couldn’t sleep for a couple nights.

by Edsall is God on Oct 4, 2007 9:39 AM EDT reply actions  

I can’t wait to see how our ascot and boat shoes crowd reacts to Big Boi.

by Mosby on Oct 4, 2007 9:53 AM EDT reply actions  

It’s funny cuz Mangino’s morbidly obese.

8 – Edsall,

Despite outweighing both of the others Mangino wears his weight better. Weis and Fridge both scare me. Weis because he has two guts, which is unnatural and evil. Fridge because he looks like Gollum if Gollum was incredibly fat instead of a wasted husk. Yes, that’s a Lord of the Rings reference. I’m not a nerd. Fuck you.

#9, yes, Mangino is very symmetrical. And round.

So you’re telling me that SMU has a shot against Rice this year? Although with their seive of a defense and coughing up games they were leading, I just don’t know. I want to believe Orson, but I’m weary, even though Rice sucks a large donkey J. Hmm they play Southern Miss next…maybe the QBs will still be hurt. Maybe not.

I wonder if he’s one of those heavy breathers that gets on the elevator at work with you after walking from the parking lot and is the loudest thing in earshot, motor and polite chatter included. Everyone else (all 2 of you) staring uncomfortably at one another as you wonder if this guy is gonna drop of a heart attack or cause the “too heavy” alarm to go off

Was the “KU” at the end of that video made out of hot dogs, or did I imagine that?

Wooderson, he’s also 4-0. Suck it, Domer! (smiley face to indicate jocularity)

by PeteJayhawk on Oct 4, 2007 10:04 AM EDT reply actions  

Did Mangino say “It’s all about the U” ??

by Scalz1 on Oct 4, 2007 10:05 AM EDT reply actions  

Jmuthaf’nT,

I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. I also suspect he has the handicapped parking tag hanging from the rearview and rides around in one of those electric carts when he goes to pick up the copious amounts of ribs and steak he must consume hourly.

by Biggus Rickus on Oct 4, 2007 10:07 AM EDT reply actions  

If Big Boi asks all the Tech girls to come back to his room, he’s going to end up with three husky chicks with backne. And even if he’s down with that, he’ll have to have an impressive anime collection to get them to put out.

Edsall,

Let’s not keep Phat Phil out of that mix.

Speaking of whom…if any of those 4 are going to do a sideline coronary keel at any point in their career (not that I wish that upon any of them, outside of Weis and Fulmer of course), it will happen this weekend in Knoxville right about the time that Mikey Henderson hits the 50 mid full field sprint…

Ohh… and pizza!

Way to go North Avenue!

Miiiiikey stole my joke!

Actually, I was going to say something like “Soliciting ‘honey dips’ at Georgia Tech is like looking for militant black lesbians at a Mitt Romney fundraiser,” but same difference . . .

by Doug on Oct 4, 2007 10:23 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, that line is tempting me to take Wisconsin if for no other reason than I have no faith in Illinois, whatsoever.

Apparently, Penn State had the ball in Illini territory 4 times in the 2nd half of last week’s game and came away with nothing due to turnovers. That is not Illinois’ defense so much as it is Morelli’s meltdown.

Wiscy has shown me nothing, not that I really follow Big 10 football as the only thing I know about the Badgers is that Citadel gave them a game, but they have to be better than Illinois on Saturday.

lol @ the “viva viagra” ad below this article. i bet those guys suck in concert.

there’s a funny thread brewing with orson on soonerfans.

So winning all your games by 3 or 10 points is WORSE than losing to, say, Auburn or Colorado?

I once saw Mangino at a chili cookoff. Habanero is teh hotzor.

by Allahver Fist on Oct 4, 2007 10:48 AM EDT reply actions  

So, since he is playing with the GT marching band, Big Boi HAS to play “Morris Brown”…..right?

God, I’ll be so disappointed if after 3 weeks of anticipation and one half of shitty ACC football, I have to sit through some lame-ass medley involving “The Way You Move”….shudder…..

#8-
I think Weiss wins twice- he looks to have gained the most in the last couple years, yet he also makes the greatest attempt to hide it by winching his 66" belt around his 74" waiste, thus creating the canyon at his equator.
In a preseason interview i watched of The Fridge, i almost was saying Hail Marry’s for him to even make it onto the stage and into the stool on the panel. If they make it into any more 4th quarter battles he better have a defibrilator paddle coordinator following him around the sidelines.

by OJ's Bloody Glove, Autographed on Oct 4, 2007 12:01 PM EDT reply actions  

But I have to give ol’ Fridge credit for the best response to a reporter’s question i’ve heard in years.
A report was published citing top schools and the graduation rates of their athletes, and Maryland was rated for Basketball and Football. For all scholarship players recruited between 1997-2001 for Football, the program was touting an increase of graduation rates from 64% to 69% this year. Fridge complimented his athletic department and a strong education department for continuing to excel and both encourage and assist it’s athletes to graduate.
But when the Frigde was asked to comment on the Basketball program graduating a Mensa-esque 00% of it’s recruits- that’s right, ZERO- Coach simply replied “Tough school.”
Fear the Turtle- he may be smarter than a 5th grader…

Bellefay, which Soonerfans thread are you talking about? I ask because I wandered into the Texas haiku thread and may die from laughter if I keep reading past the first page.

Memo to Orson: An EDSBS haiku contest would be entertainment of the finest kind.

  1. - I think most concur with you but also realize your prognosis is far more likely. Maybe we can import an HBUC band leader to throw down some dance moves with a giant ass baton, I would love to see that because certainly none of the wanks we’ve got now could do that.

I just hope Michael Vick shows up to get heckled and booed.

North Carolina would have lost that game to Southern Miss with a fumble at the one yard line that gets returned 99 yards for a touchdown as time expires.

Yes, it’s been that kind of a season.

Mangino would look so much sexier with a lucha libre mask and a cape.
