CURIOUS INDEX, 11/1/07

Hawkins said that about Todd Reesing, not McAnderson.

Also, dude…that video. It plays automatically. And is on continuous loop. Not cool.

speaking of Dockett, has anyone noticed that Earnest Graham looks like he’s gained about 75 pounds of muscle since he left UF?

“We don’t know what the hunk of blue metal Mogua wields is, but we want it on the wall next to our bottles of Charles Bronson’s Mandom and the skull of Darnell Dockett”

Hey Orson- according to the book the blade is made of obsidian, which, as i’m sure you know, is volcanic glass.

I remember him being one of those kinda short, quick guys who would occasionally initiate contact, but primarily relied on shiftiness. Now he just runs lawyas over.

1. is right; it is a reference to the QB, Reesing, not the FB.

Corrected—much thanks.

That hunk of blue metal was actual wielded by Chingachigook when he disposed of Magua.

nevermind, he only weighs like 10 pounds more now. carry on.

In regards to the Cody Hawkins blurb…it says that he is a Colorado State QB…he plays at Colorado, not CSU

Brad Nessler, I don’t think I want to want to meet your buddy Dirk.

what #2 said. i mean really. killin’ me.

Magua: [speaking Huron “Magua understands that the white man is a dog to his women. When they are tired, he puts down his tomahawk to feed their laziness.”

Paul FInebaum looked at that Lookalike list, said “Excellent” thru tented fingers and then released the hounds.

Nice to see MSU fans supporting a team that can actually beat Michigan. Something that MSU has only done 2 out of the past ten. Classy as ever. I’m suprised they didn’t riot after the ASU-UM game.

Russell Means killed Magua after Magua kills his son and the hotter of the two chicks jumps off the mountain. Day-Lewis provided covering fire.

I just wanted to say, for the record, that win or lose this saturday, LSU fans will STILL smell like Corndogs.

Check out Mandel’s Column on the LSWho hate, and the revelation that they lack a true rival and must project unbalanced malice at Alabama.As for rivals, we have Auburn and Tenn traditionally. Florida in the 90’s (by way of SEC championship games), and now LSU.

As for LSU, What are they to do when Miles jumps ship for Michigan? Why would he stay somewhere where he’s NOT fully appreciated for going 29-5 in the SEC (an awesome feat.)? And why am I not wearing any pants?

ROLL TIDE.
I give us a 1 in 4 chance to pull of GigantoUpset.

Pongetti is dead on about how networks (in this case the ESPN/ABC/Evil Mouse Mafia) cack up coverage of football games with bottom lines, trivia, stupid player introductions by Deborah Norville(!) or, worse, the players themselves (naming everyone’s assinine nicknames), and, that abortion the “30 at 30”. All of which just get in the way of what everyone has tuned in for.

()^(%#&(%()&()(^(%$%()^)(((*&&^^%#%$&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don Vito found guilty today of molestation. It only pertains to football in the sense that he could’ve been the next great fat ass coach. The world may never know.

Well, you know what they say, Scalz1. “If you can’t beat ’em, outsource your support to a team who can.”

In regards to the Texas fans concerns about ABC. I hate to say it, but crap like that is par for the course with the Disney family’s broadcasts.

They seem to think that you didn’t tune in to actually watch the game…but to be mindlessly entertained by flashing lights, graphics, in booth interviews with random celebrities (they do this every GD week on MNF).

It’s almost as if they lack the ability to carry the game with just words and action…

I love that the Last of the Mohicans music is being used for an NFL commercial. Reminds me of that “chase” scene up the mountain every time.

#21

Couldn’t agree more. If I see Todd Blackledge stuffing his face with some slop served up by the local college-town eatery again I’m going to puke.

I hope that chode smoker gets food poisoning one day so that the fucking idiotic segment can be put to rest.

ABC still has a long way to go to match Fox for annoying graphics and other crap to distract you from the game. Case in point: Dancing robots? WTF?

When the Grey Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart. Before he dies, Magua will put his children under the knife, so the Grey Hair will know his seed is wiped out forever.

I think the music is from that scene where they send the messenger out and Daniel Day Lewis is picking people off from a distance.

24 -
At least Fox keeps the bells and whistles off the screen during the action and the random celebrity in the booth is kept to a minimum. I’d much rather watch a football game on CBS, Fox or NBC than ABC/ESPN these days.

Yinka Double Dare? I love it, GW’s best player ever!

Michael Mann (who directed those commercials, and used the theme music from the film he directed…Mann just generally kicks a lot of ass.

#15

Is the implication that if ASU played Big Blue ten times, they’d win more than two? And for whatever reason, Sparty doesn’t riot over football…the past few coaches beat the fight out of us. May Dantonio bring the burning couches back to Cedar Village.

Stranko, I think it is the prevailing bad-ass-scene music in the film.

You seriously missed out by not having that “I (heart) Haley Lafontaine” t-shirt up on the site… you’d have sold thousands this week… I’d have worn one all weekend.

1. Paul Finabaum is the douchebag of all female sanitary items. I really hate that fucker.

In all seriousness, does anyone know if JoePa actually provides any sort of a service to Penn St football program? It is clear he does absolutely nothing on the sideline during games except rant at the officals. Does he actually do any coaching? Is there another head coach at a major program that doesn’t wear a headset and therefore, not involved in the game at all. He might as well be sitting in the front row at Beaver Stadium.

I love those commercials.

31 – uhhh, you just described Bobby Bowden.

That movie is full of very scenic places….

Great places to bleed out from a tomahawk wound and get scalped.

The grey-hair’s children were under Magua’s knife.. they escaped.. they will be under it again.

33 Your right, so same question for Bobby Bowden. Do those old fucks actually do any coaching?

This is out of this world, last night I had to explain the weapon to a friend of mine because he hadn’t watched the movie yet. Then I had to demonstrate the move used. By the way, the old man kicks way more ass than Lewis.

Spartymike -
No, there was no implication. I just find it rather annoying that instead of buying merchandise from their own school, they choose to wear shirts from a team that beat Michigan. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, besides being a douchebag.
It would be like me going and buying a Florida shirt, just because they beat OSU in one game.
All UM fans attending the MSU game should wear Braylon Edwards jerseys, I guess, huh ?

I think it’s disingenuous to say Sparty is buying ‘shirts from a team that beat Michigan’…I mean, they’re not snapping up Oregon gear, right? It’s the 1-AA stigma that people are trying to stir up, and that’s a special kind of stain that doesn’t wash away just by rolling through the B10. So the Florida analogy doesn’t fly. Good luck this weekend, though.

The last 30 minutes of Last of the Mohicans might be the best combination of music and action in cinema history…

That’s fine with me. Although I must say, the ASU was an embarassment, and the Oregon game sucked out loud. Other teams would probably have folded(read:Nebraska,GT, etc), UM has gotten it back together to put some semblance of a season in order. I won’t say that I’m happy with the way the season has played out so far, but a Rose Bowl win would make me smile.
How about a Stanford shirt. Would that fly ? Seeing how they were a bigger road dog than ASU ? Seeing how they had a 3rd string QB in ?

No, because Stanford is a Pac-10 school and Appy State is 1AA. UCLA or Notre Dame fans wearing Stanford shirts would be dumb because they would be wearing the gear of one of their own opponents this year.

Also Stanford has a second string QB. But why is that such a big deal? JD Booty getting hurt was what gave Stanford a chance in the game.

1. - Pants McPants – well except for 70’s porn, you mean, right?

Pant McPants is right, the last half hour is unbeatable

I thought the old man mohican had the blue hunk of metal?
