CURIOUS INDEX, 3/6/2008

A far more fitting punishment for the Iowa football team would be to lock them in a room and force them to watch their entire 2007 season on an endless loop. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call what they inflicted on the football viewing public terrorism.

1,
 but while in the visitor’s pink locker room.

Biggus… Pam Ward would disagree with you. Without Iowa, where would the 12:04 ESPN2 monotone orgasms come from on Saturday’s?

if you can’t go to college, go to pitt
if you can’t go to college, go to pitt
if you can’t go to college, if you ain’t got no knowledge
if you can’t go to college, go to pitt

Lock ‘em in a room? Hell, lock ’em in the Big House…the foreboding silence of the nation’s quietest 100K facility would be like a panopticon.

it saddens my heart to see such a young child condemning himself to an eternity in hell at such an early age…

becket929,

They could always insert Michigan State into that slot. Their rank stench of failure would be perfectly suited to Ward’s announcing style, or lack thereof.

Would I do this to my child? Absolutely. Do I want to kick that father in the balls for doing it to his? Also true.

Then again, that may well have been Pete Carroll, working with one of the beautiful angels that will one day play for the Trojans. It ain’t a recruitin’ violation if they ain’t even in school yet.

No doubt on the Wannstache. He will attain mediocrity in any league, with any talent.

Anyone able to tell what the baby said after the (twisted) father said “WE ARE” at the end of the video?

Patrino will still be on the hill in two years? I’m not sure he’s unpacked yet, or intends to.

Indefinitely in State College = until fall practice starts and some stadium cleanup duty. JoePa is such a hardass disciplinarian.

…ordering a Purdue slider down to the 7-5ish Gailey couch of their final record.

Lovely turn of phrase, Orson. Lovely.

No way that kid’s older than 2 – and 2 year olds don’t need no purple drank to wreak havoc.

Okiedomer @ 6 – sola scriptura, my good man; he’s still in with a chance no matter what the priests say ; )

Eirish @ 8 – no shirt, dislikes Notre Dame, poor impulse control? I’m thinking this kid is 2028’s Rey Rey, and the Butkus award (heh) is just waiting for him.

But if it was Pete Carroll, he’d be waxing the kid at toddler basketball.

heres one for NC State

If you wanna drive a tractor, go to State
If you wanna drive a tractor, go to State
If you wanna drive a tractor, go to State, and you can’t compute a factor
If you wanna drive a tractor, go to State

take out that third “go to state” wee, Me fail inglish, thats umpossible.

Dave Wannstedt loves five losses like a fat kid loves cake…

I think Petrino feels comfortable with his post-Dick QB situation.

Not that it matters, we all know he’s taking the Oakland job when Kiffin is mysteriously disappears in a few weeks.

1. -

Keep in mind one thing – failure is relative. Going 7-5 in the regular season and getting to a bowl game (in Orlando, no less!) set off near-riots, but then again in East Lansing, most anything does.

#14-

That works on ANY State college. Michigan State, NC State…even as we speak, Indiana State and its cadre of fanatics are consolidating their crops!

Let me clarify the last thing I said in #18 – I meant riots of jubilation, like when MSU made the Final Four in ’05, not riots of anger, like when MSU lost to North Carolina in the Final Four in ’05.

DC Trojan, “sola scriptura”? How very protestant of you…

Petrino is a master of real estate. “Rent, don’t buy.”

#4….your comments are somewhat ironic coming from a fan of the world’s largest community college.

In other random news, Tressel apparently announced at a fundraiser last night that OSU will be playing a home and home with Tennessee in 2017 and 2018.

I know, it sounds far off now, but in a few years it will still sound far off…

AllWhoYonder @ 20 – I can’t help it. Even though I fetched up at a Catholic HS unaware of things like the Lord’s Prayer, the cultural influence of the Church of Scotland was and remains strong – I remain deeply suspicious of incense and open displays of amusement.

+100 cocktails to dctrojan for the rare and elusive five-solas-of-protestant-reformation-as-applied-to-college-foobaw snap

however

-100 cocktails to dctrojan for relying on blasphemous doctrines to justify the blasphemous actions of a child – typical trojan barbarianism

MAC fans (particularly those of the Ohio schools) have long been partial to the following chant:

“Kent read? Kent write? Kent State!”

As a person who rarely watches non-SEC games before bowl season (because I don’t have time for that shit), how scared should the SEC West be of Petrino’s arrival?

Did he really do more with less, or did he just benefit from playing in the Big East post VT & Miami’s departure?

I’m not trying to start some SEC vs. the world argument, and I certainly don’t want anything to do with West Virginia, but what’s the real deal on Petrino?

Will his crafty Offensive plans score big on SEC defenses?

I’ll hang up and listen.

Petrino is entirely responsible for the UL offensive juggernaunt.
Even with 9 returning starters on that side of the ball last year they didn’t measure up to what they had done in the previous years. Even with CUSA talent and playing in that conference, his teams pelted opponents by 50 on a regular basis. Hunter Cantwell as a freshman beat Miami when Brohm was hurt by 30 points 2 years ago, before everyone would admit how badly they sucked…

He’s not getting anything talent wise at Arkansas out of the gate that he had compared to at UL on offense (ie intelligent QB), so there is going to be some adjustment time, but schematically, I’d bet on him over Miles, Nutt, and the rest… the guy finds ways to create matchups and makes it easy on young players… all in all, if I’m betting today, I’m guessing 9-3 his first year…

So I went from being a reader of EDSBS to getting linked to in back to back days.

I can die a happy blogger.

I love that this kid makes great contact. I also love that Orson made the Dana Jacobson connection. That is why he is Orson and I am not :-) .

okiedomer @ 25 – As long as we’re not talking a net loss of cocktails, I can live with that… but if there had been a loss of cocktails or worse yet you had left me with sacramental wine, there would have been a problem.

(BTW, is it any wonder that so many priests, forced to neck the sacramental wine, like a drop or five of whiskey? I’d be looking for a palate cleanser too…)

Chances are, that kid’s Dad’s had to wait until 1996 to see an SC victory. 11 years of frustration as a child will do that to you.

Petrino participated helped kick off the six game beatdwon streak that Bama is curerntly suffering from. Remember when bama had way more talent than auburn and entered the game as a big favorite?….well the offensive coordinator that made Tre Smith into a Iron BowlGreat was Petrino…so yes he can beat bama with less talent.

That kid is around 2..mine is 2 and four months and he looks about the same. ..a 2 year old looks like a giant baby that can do more stuff.

My 4 year old looks just like a miniature 7 year old….
