CURIOUS INDEX, 1/25/08

It’s Friday, so we thought we’d let down our hair a little and let you get a little peek into our soul. You wanna know what’s in our deepest heart of hearts, underneath the old Phil Steeles and P.J. O’ Rourke books? This: Excuse me, it’s…dusty…in here…. Penn State is through with Knowledge. Knowledge Timmons, that is. He, along with two other Penn State players, will be booted from the team in connection with a fight at the HUB last year. Timmons was suspended for Penn State’s final regular season game against Michigan State and then for the Alamo Bowl in connection with an Oct. 7 fight in the HUB-Robeson Center, for which he was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and defiant trespass. Also in connection with that fight, defensive tackle Chris Baker and linebacker Navorro Bowman were charged with aggravated assault, harassment and stalking, simple assault and disorderly conduct. Neither played against Michigan State or in the Alamo Bowl. Joe Pa getting this disciplinarianish post-season is a bold stand in post-season punishment. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to beat our dog for that time she shat in our Chuck Taylors three years ago. We’re sure she’ll understand just why we’re doing this. West Virginia has hired Jeff Mullen, quarterbacks coach at Wake Forest, as their new offensive coordinator. Wake runs the the fun orbit sweep, run-heavy Lobotzke-bone offense with marginal D-1 talent; it’ll be fun watching what Mullen brings to an attack that will, for the third year, feature the plague of Pat White, who when healthy earns cardiologists dollars around the Big East metropolitan area thanks to defensive coordinators suffering chest pains thinking about him. Reminder! Get your nominations in ASAP for the College Football Blog Awards. Please vote cleverly. Get your own ridiculously overpriced championship ring hyah, LSU Fans.

I am glad Joe kicked them off the team. A big reason Penn State underachieved in 2007 was because of all the legal mishaps they had. Hopefully this will nip it in the bud this year and 2008 will be a better season for my beloved Nittany Lions.

The only thing I could think of while watching that clip was Sam the Eagle tearing up his own home and street with machine gun fire and Scooter calling him “still an artist with the Thompson” in the next scene.

FWIW, PSU dropped Knowledge at the Alamo Bowl, literally and figuratively. Timmons was left off of the roster and did not make the trip to Texas for the game.
So, he’s sort of been kicked off for a couple of months, I guess this just kicks him out of the weight room.

Maybe just have your laptop open on the bed with EBSBS open, then you could at least go out with dignity, and hope that the Westboro Baptist Cult people didn’t come protest your funeral for looking at copious amounts of Bunda.

JoePA still has it. Kicking football players off the team in spring, only to reinstate them in August(after they’ve met specified goals) is the shrewd move off a man who has been doing this for so long he can do it in his sleep -which he actually can and does.
