CURIOUS INDEX, 10/18/07

Delays ironed out and the server is up and running. Caffeine and anger=not good, currently injecting self with thorazine to stabilize manic blogger. Bystanders: HORRIFIED. I'm the coach of your team, whoever it is.Dave Wannstedt does not know what team he coaches. This is the only logical conclusion one can come to reading these remarks from his press conference this week regarding Cincinnati's opportunistic defense this year and Pitt's defense's puzzling lack of turnovers created in 2007: Hey, their (Cincy's) offense is doing great and scoring a lot of points, but it all ties together," Wannstedt said. "It truly does. You look at [their] game against Navy. "Navy turns it over three times and throws two interceptions in the end zone. Is that the difference in the game? Maybe. That's how we can help our offense, come up with some turnovers on defense." Borrow some turnovers from another defense--it's an innovative strategy, one only a mind fresh from the NFL could possibly invent. College kochez r sooo stoopid! Dress your best with Steve Spurrier. The State has their own Flash sensation going in the Steve Spurrier Fashion Review, complete with dressable doll and sound bites. Florida State v. Miami will not be nationally televised for the first time since the Spanish Influenza was the hot fashion accessory of the day. Weep quietly for exactly three seconds, college football fan, and then stand in amazement that it took this long for tv types to realize both programs were suffering from serious structural problems. Also: the three Daves of Lincoln Financial, home of the $35.89 broadcast budget, get a crack at a sacred nailgun-fight of a game with Tennessee at Alabama. The game will not be broadcast in HD, which has ruined our eyes for lesser video standards in football--what was once acceptable quality now looks like watching a game through a dirty aquarium. For making the purchase of a television that costs as much as a new car inevitable: fuck you, HD. Who says you shouldn't jump into bed with young men? It's one of the tactics that's worked like mad for maddish USF coach Jim Leavitt. "He was recruiting in the area, and he came in and jumped in my bed and was like, 'Get up, go lift weights!'" Jenkins said, laughing. "I thought, 'Oh God, I'm never going to get away from him.'" If you're wondering what it's like spending the evening at the Swindle household and waking up on the air mattress, it is exactly like this, but with dogs and sirens involved. Kentucky, you're going to get your ass kicked in one way: with dance. Derrick, the current Florida drum major, will slay you with his fourth-quarter rhythms. Seduce you first? Of course. Kill you afterwards? Well, really, after you've had Derrick, there's no one else you want or require. <!-- End content section --> |

Finally, maybe sanity will prevail.
Not in Pittsburgh though.

This falls under the WATFO category:
Which of these games will be nationally televised b/c one of these teams is undefeated and the other beat a top five team recently?
A. Fla St./Miami
B. Bama/Tenn.
C. Aggy/Nebraska
D. Kansas/Colorado
100-1 at the start of the season for D. Guaran-damn-tee it.

Yeah, don’t insult the band members, or you get sexual references from O’s wife, defending those that perform at halftime.
Our band sucks (Clemson), and we get halftime passes so I always head out for beer and food, but I have found FSU’s, South Carolina’s, Georgia’s, and Carolina’s bands to be entertaining on the road.

Actually, Derrick will not be at the game. He’s been sick over the past few weeks and has had to spend time in the hospital (tonsils removed, then he began coughing up blood). We love you Derrick and we hope you get better!

I love how the Wannastache “watched football” on Saturday with a pen a paper to make sure he wasn’t too far off.
WTF does that guy do all week then???
by Odell 51 on Oct 18, 2007 2:08 PM EDT reply actions
Ah, a Ron Morriss reference. It is good to be from South Carolina.
South Carolina fans believe that Morriss hates South Carolina, personally I just think he writes minutely antagonistic items about South Carolina to boost the circulation numbers, and Clemson fans think he is a USC homer, headquartered in Cola.
Obviously, Morriss must be doing his job correctly.

The drum major guy should look into touring as one of Janet Jackson’s dancers after college.
With those moves, he’s be too stifled in the office cube world most of us inhabit, and it could lead to some weird impromptu dancing at officer parties, where everyone nervously smiles before reaching for another drink.

So, basically, Zwinky thinks it can show us a middle aged football coach rather than a voluptuous anonymous female and expect us to play ball? Ok, sure.

I feel like we let Orson down by not saying anything ourselves. Should we go over to his site and start some shit? Or should we just pretend he doesn’t exist, Tommy Kilborn-style?

Oh, if you read the caption on the spurrier thing, its all clothing styles from other coaches.
So weve got the tressel vest, the hat, the paterno sneakers (i think) The Amato sunglasses, the Pete Carol Long sleeve Tee, etc…name em all and you get a prize.

I was under the impression that Lincoln Financial was just a couple of guys named Dave broadcasting through a webcam. Or perhaps a camera phone.

PW, I agree with the latter. If we go over there, then it boosts his hits, and glorifies him. On the other hand, if we all put a post about him on our own pages, saying something like “Ben B. is a closet FSU fan, but hates Jenn Sterger”, or inserting your own insult as to his allegiances, sexual preference, taste in bourbon, etc, then that could send him to Google bomb hell.

Having been in Middle Tennessee’s band when we got flogged by UF a couple of years ago, I’ll say this about UF’s band……they suck donkey balls.
BTW, Kentucky’s been working on leg breaking drills for their game against T-1000 and his lover Mr. Joiner. We’re coming for you Timmy.

As bad as Lincoln Financial announcers are (although improved since Dave “throws a dart” Rowe’s retirement), it has now reached the point that they are better than anything on ESPN.
Every game with Patrick and Blackledge takes two years from my life. Fried Pies???
by d761 on Oct 18, 2007 2:53 PM EDT reply actions
- - That fried pie looked pretty tasty, as fried things generally do. In this same vein did anyone catch Erin Andrews dissing the Cuban sandwich someone gave her during the GT Miami game. (Of course not no one watched that shit.) She’s like "ah what the…its all cold, I don’t want this thing.

Normally, I have no problem with spreading the wonder that is fried, fruit-filled pastries. Or cookies. Or candybars. Or coke.
But, Patrick and Blackledge ruin everything they touch or speak about. They are to Ron Franklin and Ed Cunningham what Sadim is to Midas.

It’s one thing to lose a bowl game, but another to owned every single year by 1 coach.
Little trivia for you, who is the only SEC team to play at the Horseshoe?
LSU
The outcome, Ohio State won and finished the year 4-6-1; LSU went on to finish the season as the Co-Champion of the SEC.

2,
Perhaps even more surprising, no one, not even FSN is going to be carrying an A&M-Nebraska which at the start of the season looked like an ABC game.

@31,
I’ve caught snippets of Dave^2 while visiting my folks in SC. I think they should take a page from Fox Soccer Channel and have a fan from each team announce the game.

“just realize” or hours of research about Alabama and its history followed by a 2 minute jack-off session to pictures of Maurice Clarett and A.J. Hawk/Brady Quinn erotic literature. If Saban has to worry about obsessive fans-it would be people like you.

Yeah, Lincoln Financial games look like horseshit compared to regular programming on any other channel, not just HD. Seriously, get a new fucking sponsor.

I will say this much – Tosuguy spends a shit load of time doing his research. I’m not saying he doesn’t ignore many contrasting facts, but he does do his damn homework.

Not really. It’s one game played 8 weeks after the end of the season; time has proven that anything can happen in a bowl game…see Nebraska’s 60+ points against the Gators…Ohio State has so much more going for it that 1 loss is not enough to crush me…we’ll be back, we’ll always be in the mix and it’s not the end of the world if we lose a national championship game…big ten titles and beating michigan is enough to keep me warm at night.
