CURIOUS INDEX, 11/14/07

by Orson on Nov 14, 2007 9:31 AM EST

Seven shots from a handgun and a single shotgun blast were fired at Hokie CB Victor "Macho" Harris' apartment in Blacksburg, Virginia last night, including two bullets that actually made it into the apartment itself. (Remember, the issue with drive-bys is always accuracy.) In all seriousness, that is totally terrifying.

Bring it, old man. Herschel walker responds to Steve Spurrier's suggestion that he would have sent a third-stringer into Georgia's td celebration on their first scoring drive of the game in their Cocktail Party victory:

Georgia was punished, because thats a penalty. They didnt go out to hurt anyone. [Spurrier] talks about hurting somebody. How much guts do you have? Step in a ring with me, and then well see.

Be careful, Herschel. That man may look like a golf-playing jock past his prime, but there's some grapes on them vines yet. Spurrier works out like a fiend, and not just your famous regimen of thousands of pushups a day, Mr. Cromag Workout-guy. While you're over there working with the chest-expander, Spurrier's lifting weights. He's doing a little running, albeit gimpy running. He's riding a fucking bike, Herschel. A BIKE. You can't compete with that.

We know a lot about ultimate fighting from watching at least three episodes of "The Ultimate Fighter," and if we've learned one thing from our extensive viewing of that show and reading one article about Chuck Lidell, it's this: the buffest looking guy doesn't always win. OBC says bring it.

Lloyd Carr's still retiring, but first, a little chi-chi for bloggers/Rivals/pseudojournalist-types. Brian is--dare we use this word--embroiled in a spat over the likely retirement of Lloyd Carr, which has everyone chewing towels and wailing over who is a journalist and who isn't.

I cast my hat for that expensive private school over that one! If you have any kind of ambiguity going on emotionally re: this weekend's game versus Duke and Notre Dame, check out Dukesuperbowl.com, where they're counting down the days until Duke gets their only crack in all of recorded human history at beating the Notre Dame fighting Irish.

Six million bucks. That's what Tommy Tuberville would instantly owe Auburn University if he were to retire, according to Bloomberg.com, and what any school interested in Tubs would have to pay up before paying dollar one of his salary. The article does serve as a handy reminder that college coaches, for all the talk of their CEO status and gallavanting about on other people's private jets, still come cheap, salary-wise: Bob Nardelli and his $210 million dollar Home Depot buyout piss on your pitiful "buyouts."

Lyle Moevao will knock your ass out. Reverses are quarterbacks' one great shot a game to knock several years of primary education out of someone's head. Lyle Moevao erases all the math this poor man learned after the second grade from his brain on this hit from the Oregon State/Washington game. (HT: Matt)

Step in a ring with me? Who was conducting that interview, “Mean” Gene Okerlund?

Quoth Herschel Walker, “Those comments were obviously made by a man who doesn’t have children. Has Spurrier had a child come home after a fistfight with a cut lip and a bruised ego, crying over his humiliation in front of Suzie, the cute blond girl he’s had a crush on since fifth grade? If he had he wouldn’t be talking about instigating fights and risking not only injured bodies but injured souls! If he wants to come after somebody he should come after me! I’m a MAN! I’m 45!”

Sounds like some boys from Richmond took a little Blacksburg road trip. Over the hills and through the muthafuckin’ dale.

orson-

please tell me you caught callahan’s presser this week – if you didn’t, go read the transcript – i’ll give you a little sneak peak: according to callahan, the blowout of k-state is proof positive that he is a genius and that the system the press is too god damn dumb to understand is working

DukeSuperBowl.com site: Bowl wins in last 10 years, Duke 0, ND 0. “At least we don’t claim to be a football school.”

I don’t care who you are…. that is some funny shit.

Smack talk from Duke… about football?

This season is seriously effed up.

There is nothing effed up about Notre Dame sucking. Personally, I think Jesus is paying them back for making him a caricature at their football stadium. (Touchdown Jesus? Blasphemy!) That or Weis is a shitty coach.

I fully approve of Evil Randy Shannon’s motivational techniques. Take the fight to Hokies, Randy.

If Houston Nutt’s dumb ass would pay attention, he’d learn some good motivatin’ tips too. Adapt this, Houston.

FYI Orson -

Herschel is a black belt in tae kwon do and is apparently becoming active in MMA. He is rumored to be a part of an upcoming MMA reality show and will participate in a sanctioned fight at the conclusion of the show. OBC don’t want none.

Oh, god…that photo. He’s SHINY. I am so glad I don’t eat breakfast.

Maybe Herschel is still crying over his lost Heisman his frosh year to George Rogers and seeing Rogers on national TV on the Tebow Show last Saturday rekindled some hatred against anything South Carolina.

Sorry everyone, that previous comment sounded way too “My Dad can beat up your Dad”. I apologize to the entire EDSBS Nation for not sounding snarky enough with that. I’ll go sit in time out for a few.

Im just shocked at the state of our society when someone with a nickname like Macho would have a drive by shooting at his apartment.

For the record, Dawg, your Dad probably can if his first name is Knowshon.

Unfortunately for Liddell, he looked a little too out of shape when he faced “Rampage”, but I’m sure OBC stays fit by hitting the links.

Also, Chevon Walker has been granted a release from UF.

If you want pulp the OBC, Herschel Walker*, you gotta get through his 3rd-stringer first.

*is gay.

That should read “*is gay and owned the Gators”.

Easy mistake.

Is it just me or did the Evil Richt cause an influx of dawg vermin around these parts?

The only way I can get through the day is by convincing myself that the photo of the OBC is one of Holly’s magnificent photoshops.

And thanks to Youtube, everyone outside the Pacific Northwest gets to enjoy the grappa lubed pipes of Petros Papadakis.

Can we trade that booth to the Big10 network for a bushel of corn or something else of equal value?

Herschel calling out Spurrier? What is next? Herschel calling out Shecky Green, Beano Cook, Lee Corso, Stewart Mandel, Howie Mandel, the Mandrel Sisters(Barbara, Louise, and Irlene), Sly Croom, Laurie Metcalf, Lou Holtz and/or Paul Finebaum????

Re: Macho Harris

Sounds like Eddie Royal REALLY wants his punt return job back.

@ Harvey Wireman

Herschel doens’t want any part of Sly Croom. Sly Croom carried Titus Brown for 30 yards before body slamming him to the Scott Field turf (lovely, lovely turf) and Kamala Splashing him in congratulations for sacking JPW to end the destruction of Bama.

I would like to see Herschel call out The Orgeron.

OBC better be careful because he doesn’t have Mike Stoops to bail him out now.

Spurrier was an ass for his comments.

But Herschel calling out Spurrier is a little over the top. Herschel didn’t jump the shark, but he may have run over him.

Congrats NBC, you are contractually obligated to bring us the first nationally televised game between two 1-9 teams that isn’t Army vs. Navy.

A television first! Don’t they give Emmys for this stuff?

The OBC is an OG, Hersch. You don’t want nan!

Herschal Walker vs. Steve Spurrier Dept:

My prediction: The two would enter the squared circle and Spurrier would have something up his sleeve (mystery white powder, a folded metal chair?).

His superior offensive tecniques, with gadgets and stuff, and perhaps a bikini babe (or dude in Speedo’s-since Walker may swing both ways) would make mincemeat out of the ’ol dawg in no time.

Click, Clack.

by Stacy Keibler Luvs Me on Nov 14, 2007 1:24 PM EST reply actions

clarification:

The bikini babe (or dude in Speedos) would be used just as distractions around the apron of the squared circle. Spurrier would handle Walker man to man.
