CURIOUS INDEX, 3/4/08

TT the master of the Chop:

- His D chop tackles and takes out all of Auburn’s RBs.

- And apparently his players judo chop each others spines

Um… the apology and the Plainsman article you linked to are from November as well. Why does this make the March 4 Curious Index?

But since you brought it up, the reason we AU folks were so pissed was because the “matching” adds basically called AU folks white trash but only made fun of bama fans for living in the past.

Anyone who has seen the countless documented cases (Hi Collette!) knows the truth is a different story.

Tiger—-

Probably because it popped up in the reader, and we just plugged it in without looking. Negligence on our part, as usual.

Oh, and I was at the scrimmage. Ziembia lost his cool for sure. But word is he’s feeling more than a little guilty about it and left the field in tears. Reports are that Coleman is expected to make a full recovery and participate in fall practice. He attended practice on Sunday walking around wearing a neck brace. Hopefully lesson learned.

We’re learning the new-fangled neck chop-block this year. We got the idea when we tried to Chop-Block Nick Saban, whose neck is about at the same spot most defensive linemen’s knees are.

Ryan Perrilloux could have sex with dead bodies and he still wouldn’t get kicked off the football team. Shit, he could get caught in bed having a 3 way with Les Miles’ wife and daughter and he’d still be the starter on opening day.

LSU is a joke.

So, this the the kind of character that Tubs was talking about recruiting in those interviews after getting his ass handed to him by Saban in recruiting this past year?

Yeah, I’d rather have guys that chop block other teams and temporarily paralyze their own teammates than guys who get arrested on the Strip for a disorderly conduct charge where the arresting officer’s police report differs from the 4 different camera angles at the bar that caught what actually happened.

Antonio Coleman should have gotten the Garasil vaccine, it prevents cervical…. oh wait.

Leav it to me to eff up a bad joke with poor spelling.

I like this quote: “I’m often a bit bemused at how quickly Auburn people get their dander up vis-à-vis Alabama." I did not know that foghorn leghorn worked for Auburn.

So what?

Your Gator women love us: (Erin Andrews interview)

What’s your favorite venue, any sport?
Well, if you’re talking to an alum, obviously The Swamp (at Florida). Without me being a fan and an alum, I would say some of the greatest places to do college basketball, I’ve always said here. The Breslin Center at Michigan State is awesome. It’s a great scene. College football, USC games are amazing. You get a cool vibe when you’ve got Will Ferrell and Snoop Dogg on the sideline. Auburn is a great scene. Oh my gosh, and I’m an SEC girl, so Auburn is an amazing place to watch a football game.

Brandon Cox, who also just regained feeling in his extremities, would like to know where the f%$# was that all-consuming rage from Ziemba last season.

LOL #12

i’m pullin’ for ya rp. no better time to stretch your gamblin’ legs than with a little march madness. you can do it…i know you can.

#6

What if he got caught hooking up with Haley La Fontane? I expect sleeping with the enemy is a sin Les Miles can never forgive.

Auburn is so pathetic it’s funny. Every time you think they’re done and won’t do something stupid or somebody else tops them, CHOP! and you’re giggling again.

LSU is so pathetic it’s funny. Every time you think they’re done and won’t do something stupid or somebody else tops them, RYAN PERRILLOUX! and you’re giggling again.

Rome @ 6 – leaving aside social constraints about necrophilia, surely it would be better if Perriloux restricted himself to dead bodies? Less likely to end up FIDC over the honor of a lady corpse, for a start.

Or… maybe they could get him a couple of those living doll toys and a human-strength wireless fence, that would be marginally less appalling. Marginally.

Glad to hear that the near paralysis of an Auburn player amuses you.

“Auburn is so pathetic it’s funny” because of an injury? Because two players got into a lil’ fight in practice?
You must either 1) have never played organized competitive sports, 2) have never played organized competitive sports, or 3) are just plain ignorant.
If there is one plerson on this blog who played high school of college football and can honestly say that they never saw a play “go on after the whistle” during practice, then they played for the East Valley Fairies, because that is commonplace. And if yo uare harping on the injury and claiming that that is a black-eye on the Program, then you are even more ridiculously retarded then i thought.
And if you make this comment not for #1 or #2, then you are just a flat out idiot and I have wasted my time trying to reason with you.

..Or, you are a fan of another in-state rival, and you should thusly be drug out and shot in the fucking eye with a musket.

Hold up. Did that ad REALLY run in the newspaper?

Goofy, eccentric, maybe even a little offensive, regionalism forever!

I haven’t seen all of the awards, but it’s looking like you’re no one in cyberspace w/o a beard.

Did anyone else think that the guy @ SMQ (who richly deserves the award) would look as scruffy as Orson?

I think Orson is quite handsome.

Hey Stewardess, your post was wayyyy too serious to be posted by someone with as funny a reference as yours. If you feel the need to keep the BAMA-Auburn fight going, please use one or more of the following words next time: Bammer, 12, sheep-lover, Houndstooth, or orthodontist. Otherwise you’ll be accused of taking this way too personally and Gerry will be along shortly to make fun of you.

Oh really, LSU won’t dump the only player on the team that can play QB and win for them? They are shaddy bastards just like Bowden and the kicker controversy, Miles is trash and won’t kick anybody off the team that would start. Just like Tennesee and their fat boy coach.

What does Orson’s homosexual hair stylist think of his scruff anyway? Might be time for a counter to his “Metro-Sexual” post from many, many moons ago, “You might be rediscovering your Grisley Adams roots, if…”

The whole thing with Ziemba is being overblown a bit. I was not at the practice..so I will not weigh in on whether it was a Rowdy Roddy Piper style headlock or players getting at it hard. However, the thing that did interest me was how quickly TT’s yes-men put out statements. Phillip Marshall, who must suffer from Stockholm Syndrome, had quotes from Tubs/new OC/new DC out so quick they must have come from templetes. All three said, “we didn’t see it…”. How in the fuck do all three not see a thing? Two three hundred plus lbs men are going at it after the whistle..and you don’t see anything..and these statement are put on the internet as quickly as reports of the fight go up..that does not pass the reasonable person test..The lady protest a little much.

1. - Look out. Everyone with the word “TIGER” in their handle has just waged personal jihad on you and your family. God speed.

1. - Tub’s assistants get quotes in the media after every practice. Funny how that works when they are acctually allowed to speak to the media.

And as I said, I was there. Niether myself, nor anyone sitting around me, said they saw what happened. It was away from the ball and was over virtually just after the whistle. I can understand if the coaches weren’t exactly paying attention to the guys who were obviously out of the play.

ATLANTA (Reuters) — As the threadjack of an American sports blog stretched into its third hour, authorities expressed increasing confidence that the terrorists presented no danger to the thread’s passengers, only to each other.

The thread departed Atlanta just after 11 a.m. EST carrying an unknown number of passengers. It was commandeered less than half an hour later by a militant group of Alabama and Auburn fans.

A source within the Pentagon confirmed that the possibility of shooting down the thread was discussed to remove the possibility of a 9/11-style attack. However, as more information became available, it became clear that rabid infighting among the group of threadjackers made that unlikely.

“All the passengers appear to be chatting politely as if nothing was wrong,” said Michael Chertoff, secretary of homeland security. “For some reason, the threadjackers all appear to be shooting at each other. It’s really kind of a bizarre situation.”

Chertoff said he could not confirm any reports of deaths among the group of threadjackers, but was “confident” that none of the other passengers had been harmed.

The incident, however, seems certain to renew bipartisan calls for stricter profiling of Auburn and Alabama fans who attempt to board comments threads on U.S. soil. (see POOP-FLINGING/A5)

+100 #29

de-lux, #29, de-lux.
Even Nick Saban has time to laugh at that…

If it’d been Florida State it woulda been damned funny.

#29

Doug,

+100 from this Bama fan.

#29, a cold PBR in the bottle for you. It’ll help numb the pain of your torn ACL.

Wow, Doug, you’re going to inspire comment of the year awards for the 2008 season with contributions like that.

ooc @ #23,

sorry…i was actually working today and missed my window.

but seriously, we should listen really hard to everything excuse me stewardess says…i mean he played football somewhere north of junior high.

Doug, stop showing off.

What would you expect from the Bromberg family? They’re all Bama fans or graduates.

10-1 that Perrilloux is the starting QB come this fall. This is in Louisiana, you know. Unless the NCAA academics rules trip him up.

This is one of those threads where I was just sick that I only got to read the first 8 or 10 before having to leave the office for a meeting and couldn’t wait to get back to the office and see what I missed.

Doug… great comment.. glad this blog is apolitical because the only thing better than UA-AU threadjacks are Liberal-Conservative threadjacks… not that you would know anything about that…

Tiger… It’s only funny because he was almost and not ultimately hurt, don’t be so serious… Like Auburn, their funny because their almost a legitimate program (kidding..kidding)

39-

Like Bama is funny, because they are legitimate after losing to ULM and going 6-6. Not to mention losing 6 straight to AU

Is that the same kind of funny?

No Wregl, funny in the sense that I can make a joke about Auburn being almost legitimate and being able to guarantee that an Auburn fan who evidently questions his program’s legitimacy would retaliate with the fresh and new evidence that Alabama lost to ULM and 6 in a row to Auburn. That kind of funny. Thanks for playing.
I’m sorry if you took offense to my weak attempt at humor…

Oh, like holding up two fellow students with a pellet gun for $26

What?

Holding up to fellow students with a pellet gun is NOT funny?

Damn, my bad

First the police dog, now this. What did AC do, ask out a white woman? And y’all say we live in the 60s. Good Lord.

Jerraud Powers was the one bitten by the police dog, not AC.

Weagle-

Both are black. Jesus.
