CURIOUS INDEX, 10/7/07

We’re 1-2 in the west, thank you very much.

bama is 1-0 in the west….you should pay urbs more.

A noticable bright spot from Georgia’s loss to Tennessee? We sextupled our first down production in the second half. 2 in the first and 12 in the second. I think they turned the corner, unfortunately there’s an oncoming truck ahead.

It also occurs to me that the life of a USC QB is alright.

I dunno. It’s great to be #1, but if there were 10 games against the Gators, I think Tebow & Co. would come away with 5 wins, and there would be at least 4 overtime games.

On the bright side, this loss could have been even worse if there were actual Stanford football fans to mock me.

Allow me to step back up to the microphone and again raise the discussion of a non-conference champion being allowed to play for the MNC. Let’s say LSU finishes the regular season unbeaten and loses to UF in the SEC championship game (assuming UF gets there, and I realize they need help). Can anyone honestly say they think LSU should be denied a shot?

You think a guy with supremo text messaging skills would have thought about boking the planes himself so no one else does… especially after given fair warning on that one rivals website.

PW #6 – A few folks in the state north of Indiana and across the lake east of Wisconsin might.

Canada is not a state, come on!

In retrospect, that game went about as expected. LSU couldn’t hold UF down, but UF certainly couldn’t stop a good offense. Plus, UF can’t score points when their defense is giving up 12 play, 7 minute, 80 yard drives over and over.

The scary part (fun part for Tiger fans) is that LSU lined up and went right at UF. That’s the only thing UF does right on defense. And LSU ran over them, especially when it counted. That’s beating someone.

anyway, there’s your argument. Is an undefeated (OSU, BC, Missouri, ASU, Cincy, Cal, Hawaii, USF) team more deserving than a 1-loss LSU? And by “deserving,” I mean “better.”

I guess all those “Booty for Heisman” Rear-ends need a wiping today, huh? Try Vinegar and water..

We probably won’t have to deal with this anyway since it involves LSU losing to someone.

1. PW.
   But which team would LSU be playing?

1. 13, I would not count those chickens just yet. I think that the biggest stubling block for LSU may be a Chertoff lead FBI strike on their campus and practice facility. As if their actual use of WMD’s on various Saturday’s is not enough, I visited Baton Rouge and noticed some tail gate parties with yellow cake.

AND… AND, walking by the practice facility, I noticed…. my blood goes cold just to recall… ALUMINUM TUBES!!!!! Do I need to tell you what the fuck you can do with an aluminum tube? ALUMINUM!!!!

14

It doesn’t matter. I’m just saying that as between the current undefeateds and a hypothetical 1-loss, non-conference champion LSU team, LSU is more deserving, especially since they had to play a 13th game.

joshy, lsu doesn’t win w/o a fumble and an interception of a ball that hits a reciever in the fucking face. that’s someone beating themselves.

i give the tigers their due though. GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

The fake assistant in the car ad sells it.

#16
I understand. But what if at the end of the season, USC and LSU have one loss each and OSU is undefeated along with a Big East team say South Florida then who plays in the MNC?

And if LSU is undefeated, does OSU get a shot at them ahead of USC?

And what about one loss Oklahoma?

I guess all those "Booty for Heisman" Rear-ends need a wiping today, huh? Try Vinegar and water..

I’m more than willing to pick up the assist on this one. Life hands you lemons, make lemonade, right?

Fowler Toyota better have an actual “mile of cars” as the tag says at the end or they could be shut down for false advertising and sold to the dealership across the street.

Re: #9

Indeed, Canada is not a state. It’s a posession.

1-loss OU (given the weakness of the Big 12, except, apparently, MIzzou!) wouldn’t get in over 1-loss LSU. Remember 04? Something about 55-19 sticks in the craws of people that voted those frauds into the game. Also, remember the equally fraudulent 2001 Huskers? No way is the Big 12 going to get the nod again over another, equally plausible team.

Gerry, I guess reality isn’t your strong suit. Go watch the game again. That fumble was forced by Highsmith. Interceptions don’t catch themselves either.

Florida knew what we were going to do all night long and we did it to them anyway. It will be a worse fate for your pitiful Tide.

#19-
If, and I mean if, OSU goes undefeated, why shouldn’t they get a shot at LSU. First off, OSU would be undefeated and didn’t lose to the fucking trees, secondly, and I know that this isn’t always a good measure, but OSU dominated UW, whereas USC struggled with them.
OSU didn’t show up last January, and its gonna cost them for the next several years because media/people are pissed about being wrong.

joshy i watched every play of the game. fumbles are only forced when the ball is not properly protected. and there aren’t interceptions to catch if receiver’s make plays. the “reality” is i gave your boys their props…if not in a backhanded manner.

and i’ve already said the tigahs will whip the tide’s ass…they are two different levels right now. so no need to lash out sweety.

Look for another banner during the Auburn game this weekend. This is normal, right?

Canada is so a state you fucking Hoser!

LSUJoshua,

Muahaha.. We are so gonna poach your coach…

Muahaha.. We are so gonna poach your coach…Signed,

The original banner for Arkansas was supposed to say, “Razorback fans ans players deserve better”. I do not know why it was changed, but it implies that the 0-2 record is the reason that Nutt needs to go. There is so much more. So, so much more.

Anyone catch CheatyPants McSweatervest tell the sideline reporter that he hadn’t heard that USC lost…“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear that…I was working.” The Senator holds true to form. “Coach Tressel, having heard that USC lost to 40 point dog Cal, what do you think about that?” McSweatervest, “I think we have a lot of game film to watch and a lot of areas we need to improve in. We’ve got a good Kent State team coming in next week.”

Unhappy Monkey — A “Used Cars” reference? Nice. Kurt Russell thanks you and demands royalties.

You shouldn’t get a shot at the MNC if you don’t win your conference. I thought that was a settled issue. No?

Even if that team is the next OMG! THEY’RE AN NFL TEAM!!!, LSU, and the one blemish is a conference championship loss.

Josh- by “Highsmith causing the fumble” you must really mean “tackling”. It wasn’t a brutal or even hard hit. Moore screwed up.

LSU won the game more because the Gators let it slip away and less that LSU imposed their will. LSU is a formidable team, but don’t go around thinking your crap don’t stink. It does, and of day old corn dogs.

Hope the teams get a chance to meet up again in ATL and have the Gators give LSU the pant-down spankling they so richly deserve.

Re: 32

Unless you are in the SEC…

/Everyone south/southeast of Columbus.

Irwin—they whipped our ass in the second half. It’s a marginal asswhipping, yes, but they held the ball for 12 goddamn minutes in the fourth quarter. They won. We saw it. It was strength personified.

The MNC should always be decided by computers.

#34

This has never happened with an SEC, unless I’m just blanking. But the BIg12…

#36
No. But the conference championship issue isn’t a computer/poll issue. How can you be the best in the nation if you aren’t the best in your division/conference? In fact, only computer polls would place a non-conference winner into the MNC equation, correct? Because the computer wouldn’t know the difference.

…The MNC should always be decided by reporters and pundits…

LSU will lose one of their next 2 games. If they lose to KY on the road, then they fall back in the top 10 and will beat Auburn.

If they beat KY, then they’re in the top 5, which is right where Tuberville want’s them.

The woodchipper installed in my vagina is ready to tear up that chainsaw dick.

Re 37

I don’t know if it has either… but some people seem to think it should.

I meant to reply to 38, not 37. Numeric reading skills are stellar right now.

My abs hurt from watching that car ad. I could see some potential backlash, though, if Oklahomans start to think that the Japanese might have better car humor than the Americans.

Good thing Booty wasn’t drinking closer to campus; I was ready to punch him in the face.

38

Pundits, by and large, are idiots. Myself included.

Can someone find a replay of that hilarious formation Meyer tried with Tebow behind center and no other linemen within 15 yards? Then TT got sacked by 5 Tigers immediately after the snap. What the heck was that, Urban? Textbook example of a coach thinking too highly of himself, of which I, as an ND fan, know far too much about.

#39,
Does a woodchipper trump a chainsaw? Maybe a granite foundation would work better. Or a desert of dryness to take away the chain lube.

yahno… any goldang idiot can see that a coach who goes for it on 4th down instead of tying the game is a coach who will lose one later that he shuda won

puff on Pall Mall cigarette

any dang idiot can figure that out

#45

I was wondering the same thing.

Were they trying to fake the screen? The offensive linemen lined up across the field could only turn and watch Tebow get creamed.

That car ad was absolutely perfect. Notice where he drops pages 3 through 6 of the paper behind the podium? That, bitches, is attention to detail.*

• Unlike say, forgetting to remind your third-string linebacker to not rough the punter with two minutes left, thereby allowing Franny to sneak out with yet another job saving win.

(Then again, maybe Gundy is clever like a fox. Every close win allows Franny to possibly stick around for one more humiliating season.)

The death threats are not surprising. I’ve lived in Central Florida for several years. UF fans are rediculous.

I cannot wait for Saban to copulate with your woodchipper vagina. Why don’t we set it up with Bad Newz kennels? I bet the Ocho would cover such an event!

I’ve lived in the Central Florida area for a few years now. Gator fans never shock me.

If we’re smoking the bud and sippin’ the purple drank- what if USCe runs the table abd beats an otherwise undefeated LSU in the SEC championship game, will my wife stil turn me down for bedsport 78% of the time?

#33: I disagreed last year and still do. (There were other reasons to take Florida over Michigan, barely. And if it’s close I’d take it into consideration. But it shouldn’t automatically disqualify you.)

I still think LSU drops a game somewhere along the way. UF played them very well, but didn’t have the defense to hold up in the 4th (obviously). If only the Gator defenders weren’t all criminals, then they would have fielded a better unit.

Random thoughts, before I get to serious work…

1) Cal is Number 2, and they didn’t even play last week. I think this is somehow wrong, but better them than the Sweatervests. The heads of Oski-worshippers must be exploding at the thought of having to be grateful to the ’Furd.

2) Fuck Louisville Kroger for putting Cardinals merch on half-off sale, this early in the month. You guys make the Wal-Mart Wolverines look like die-hards.

3) Is Michigan going to go the rest of the season unranked, even if they run the string all the way to The Game?

4) That was one hell of a day of foobaw.

5) Anybody who brags about hitting a ND-Stanford parlay is going to have to show proof. (Like a newspaper from November, because having a time machine is the only sane explanation for why you put real money down on that one.)

6) I’m used to writing off seasons in October, but for many of you, this is a new experience. That sick feeling in your gut will go away. If it doesn’t, see a doctor.

7) Those of you who still have a chance at a garbage bowl need to man up and start rooting for your teams. Firing your coach now will accomplish nothing, although I am tempted to make an exception in the case of Kragthrowup.

#21

Fowler Toyota? Are you sure it is not Roy Fuchs Used Cars in disguise?

BTW, Mr Booty Senior would not be pleased with his son drinking. He was a J-freak in his collitch days in Starksville.

#54

Booooooo!

[Deep breath]

Booooooooooooo!

Yes, punish Cal for having a bye week.

What is that? Some kind of a special Pac-10 only rule? Cal has beaten two ranked teams. Nuff said.

Trojan Chica:

#43: Excellent comment. Booty macking it up in Hollywood, after another poor performance? With a broken finger, what was he doing in the game during the second half, besides hurting the team? He could not throw, could not run, and could not inspire any emotion in the team. I guarantee you Booty did not get any booty at the night club after the game.

But, the season is not lost. Oklahoma had a miserable loss and they are now around No. 5.

Key offensive line players, tailbacks and players on defense will be back soon and the team will be at full strength………… or so I’d like to think.

I guarantee you Booty did not get any booty at the night club after the game.

Starting QB? Check.

Playing for most popular team in town? Check.

Girls writing (wiping) your name on (off) their rears? Check.

Hurt finger? Sympathy check.

Oh, I’m thinking he did okay that night. He just couldn’t perform “The Shocker”, which I think we’re all tired of at this point anyway.

As for Southern Cal, they should be grateful for the love they are still getting as it is just silly that they are still ranked in the top ten and within striking distance of the title game. Plain rediculous.

I spelled that wrong because the proper spelling doesn’t begin to describe it.

Doom! Dooooooooooom! Doooooom woe and misery! The end is nigh!

My only point of bitterness with JDB – when I fuck up at the office and at home, I don’t get to have drinks with hotties afterwards. Just because I’m short, middle-aged, and bald with no discernible QB skills. Well, just because I’m short, bald, and middle-aged at any rate.

If you can’t win your own conference, you don’t deserve a shot at the title. End of story.

I have no doubt that LSU is a better team than S. Florida. But if South Florida goes undefeated and wins it’s conference and LSU doesn’t, they get the shot at it, against some other team that wins its conference (OU, OSU, CAL, whoever).

Winning a conference championship should mean something, and it does. That’s why they changed the rules when OU got in, despite losing its conference title, which the rest of the world outside of Norman thought was a joke.

Re: #61

Last I check, JDB has two hands…one of which is healthy.

Winning a conference championship should mean something, and it does. That’s why they changed the rules when OU got in, despite losing its conference title, which the rest of the world outside of Norman thought was a joke.

What rule changes are you talking about?

Sore Winner Dept:

LSUJoshua: Try to learn to show some class when you win, especially with the skin of your teeth like your tigers lucked out on Saturday against the Gators. (For example, see Comment No. 4 from Southern P.)
  
The season has a long way to go, interesting times indeed are sure to come…..

….I hope all sorts of wierd things happen at the end of the season so that a playoff becomes a reality.

Fans, Fans…Dept:

At the USC-Stanford game a lot of fans were booing Booty.

Is it true that at the FL-LSU game a lot of fans were shouting: “F_ You Tebow”?

Stacy, yes it was…it was louder than your usual bullshit cheer. I commend the student section.

Great win for LSU. And I hate to say this but…gutsy gutsy playcalling from Little Leslie Miles…I truly did not think he had a pair and especially not a big brass set

That being said, chances of going 5 for 5 on 4th down in another game of that magnitude…unlikely
LSU still beats my Tide team in November but would not be surpised if the unbelievable success on 4th down against UF causes Miles to take an unecessary chance down the line and blow a game he should win…not saying it will happen, but I won’t be surpised if it does…

Awwww poor widdle SKLM got his feelings hurt. I just called the wahmbulance for you. No thanks are needed.

I’m not a Florida fan (I fucking hate them) and I normally wouldn’t give a damn about someone hating on Tebow (even though he seems like a decent guy), but that chant showed a true lack of class. Moreover, It’s going to be very, very sweet when LSU loses. All the shit talking you gap-toothed, sub-sea level living jackasses do will make a delicious heaping pile of crow.

From what I understand the fans did yell the cheer at Tebow, after he pulled the Brock Berlinesque taunts at the fans after the first TD.

LSUJoshua & SKLM – I’ll quote James Carville (even though I hate to ): Know what to do when you screw up, and know what to do when you win.

And since when is showing class no questioning the polls? Go take a jaunt around the intertubes this Monday and see how many people think USC in the top ten is a good idea. It’s stupid and everyone is calling it that.

If winning with class is being happy that LSU is #1 only to ignore ongoing faults so as not to offend butt hurt Southern Cal fans, well then I’m happy to be Archie Bunker and Fred Sanford all up in this motherfucker for you.

Anyway, why is it that the losers always bring up class and classiness and classless fans?

Don’t even get me started on USC. They’re still hugely overrated. Given how they’re playing lately, I can’t imagine they’ll beat Oregon or Cal this year (and maybe not even ASU). The hypocrisy of ranking them in the top ten is incredible.

75

To say nothing of the entire UF team making a point of jumping up and down on the eye of the tiger at midfield at the end of pre game warm ups.

It’s no Carville quote, but i will quote some hip hop artist unknown to me but for their wisdom:

“don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit”.

If UF and others don’t like LSU fans letting the Gators know what they think of them, the Gators should behave a bit better when they are guests in someone’s house.

Anyway, this is college football. Go play intramurals if you can’t dig it.

Dajo 9, I don’t like bye weeks for just this reason. Is holding a team in place a punishment? I don’t think so. I don’t think they should drop, either, absent extraordinary circumstances.

Also, if I wanted to punish Cal, I’d mention that they’re the only team NU has beaten in the Rose Bowl, or any other bowl.

bacon.

What rule changes are you talking about?

The BCS formula. They changed it to give more weight to the polls, which DID take into account the fact that OU lost its title game. If that exact scenario had happened with the new formula, USC would have played in that game.

“Were they trying to fake the screen? The offensive linemen lined up across the field could only turn and watch Tebow get creamed.”

Called the swinging gate. Supposed to confuse the defense and set up an immediate pass. LSU defensed it perfectly. They didn’t panic and went straight for TT. Gary Danielson offered some bad analysis of what happened.

“Anyway, why is it that the losers always bring up class and classiness and classless fans?”

There is not a more trite discussion than that about “which fans are less classy.” It usually follows a bitter loss. I guess if we are uncertain as to whether how good our team is, we can at least retreat to some internet echo chamber and preen our morality.

Act Like You Have Been There Dept:

LSU Joshua: I accept your whole-hearted apology. Now, regarding the Polls, and I do not mean Mika and Zbigniew Brzezinski, here is the latest.

The AP has USC at No. 10.

The two polls that make up the Bs-BCS
   - Coaches Poll has USC at No. 7,
   - Harris has USC at No. 7

The chatter going on in the internets is fun stuff to read, thats for sure, but the votes that count still give USC a chance to get back into “The” or “A” big game.

I have no idea whether USC will run the table, or flounder during the next part of the season, but it will be fun to find out how everything turns out.

The Boll Weevil (James Carville Dept.):

Southern P: I once went to an event where James Carville was ‘speaking’. Very interesting dude, though he looks like he is always smelling something stinky.

Blow J. and the Bear: Regarding “bringing up class is the last refuge of the loser” argument, I must disagree. Being class-less is not limited to only winners and losers. It just seems that some fan bases have disproportionate amounts of each……

"Anyway, why is it that the losers always bring up class and classiness and classless fans?"

There is not a more trite discussion than that about "which fans are less classy." It usually follows a bitter loss. I guess if we are uncertain as to whether how good our team is, we can at least retreat to some internet echo chamber and preen our morality.

Except this time there’s a well documented and rather well organized vulgar chant the likes of which I don’t think has ever happened before. But I’m sure it’s just the rest of the world being bitter…

I know this is late in the thread, Swindle, but in response to your previous, an ass-whuppin is easier when there we hand them the ball twice in about 5 minutes.

I know you are bitter, as am I, but a 4 point win is not an ass-whuppin – especially considering the good guys were leading for approximately 58.5 minutes. All I can say is I hope that we can take care of business the rest of the season and we get another shot at them in ATL.

And to summarize some other discussions:

UF stomping center field on the eye: classless / disrespectful (even though we do the same at home – when F$U does it in the Swamp, the blood boils)

LSU fans chanting various obscenities to Tebow: classless also. I somehow doubt that the cheers were in response to the eye stomping. I have a feeling they were coming even if, pre-game, the entire UF team genuflected toward the eye in a circle of solemn respect and prayer.

@15: If I can be real, son….THAT LAWYA TRIED TO KILL MY FATHER.

also way late … here’s a link to AppFan’s version of the transitive property herpes flowchart, updated with USC, UCLA, et al. the transitive clusterfuck is well represented by a connect four gamepeice.

J.D. Booty: “Is that Danny Tartabull? I’d like to shake his hand…but I can’t.”

that guy in the video is a douche, his name is chad stalcup but his tv name is chad stephens. he sucks and doesnt tip for shit.

“Except this time there’s a well documented and rather well organized vulgar chant the likes of which I don’t think has ever happened before. "

How many football games you been to son? Big time programs have millions of fans. It won’t take you long to find some crude fucking behavior among them. Just accept it as part of the scenery of this great game. And yes, whining about it is generally about bitterness and an attempt to boost self-esteem.

I want to buy a Tundra from that man.
