CURIOUS INDEX, 4/9/08

We are now all Mustangs. From the Wiz: If this video does not make you root for SMU this year, you are beyond hope. As seen in the previous video clippins’, you…well, you must love them. It’s a moral imperative. Kyle was on EDSBS Live last night, and had so many notes he compiled them into a post on why Georgia will win the MNC this year. He’s right on one thing: striking a team off the list based on schedule alone is rank foolishness, especially when some of the surefire roadblocks on the schedule will likely curdle into disastrous pushovers before the end of the season. The gut pick for this year in the rolling disaster department in the SEC, at least in our minds, would be Auburn, who’s immensely talented but installing new defenses and offenses, and that usually equals some early stumbles. Plus Tommy Tuberville looks entirely too comfortable for his own good over there: it ain’t Auburn football without the knife at the coach’s throat every five years or so. Oh, and Georgia’s o-line looks suspect and Matt Stafford completes around half of his passes as a college qb. Hell, the Sex Cannon himself did better than that. All of that may not matter, though: Knowshon Moreno exists in five dimensions, and is capable of disappearing into two of them at will. (He keeps the other one for storage. Handy, it is.) The Big Ten network plans a springapalooza of its own, highlighting the conference’s spring practices. The show is booked for three hours, but should come in more around the nine hour mark on the stopwatch. Penn State boots Buy Mark Mangino’s house. Avoiding all jokes at his expense, we will just point out one detail from the virtual tour of the Kansas coach’s house: like the Velvet Thunder should, he has the champizzle chillin’ at the ready 24/7. Image removed due to complaint. Yes, from you know who. Balla! |

The last time Auburn installed a new offense, they immediately fielded the best SEC team of this decade. I’m not saying they’ll be world beaters, but it’s hard to imagine they will be less productive on offense than they were last year.

Did anybody notice the tent sized velour jacket hanging over the men’s valet stand (aka coat rack ) in the master bedroom! Awesome!
Also check out the living room and guess which chair the Manginos?

@29, yeah, I got nothing. Pity. I was looking forward to that one. Did NowLive archive it anywhere else?

…nice to see that Coach Mangino is a fan of Newcastle Brown Ale. Looks like a beer drinker, doesn’t he?
The wicker chairs in the basement threw me for a loop, though. Is there rebar re-enforcement?

I was wondering when that SMU clip would show up here. I almost sent it to Orson weeks ago, but as an SMU fan (yes, Virginia, they do exist), I really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
On the bright side, I was pretty impressed with the MC Hammer move, but I have no idea what Thomas Morestead (potential Ray Guy candidate — you gotta have a good punter when you’re SMU) was doing looking through his legs. Is this some new fangled thing the kids are doing these days, or just evidence that our punter really is a white stiff with no rhythm (as it should be for punters, probably).

Yes. Nothing but dead air.

I think I saw something like 7, maybe 8 televisions in that Mangino tour. Am I being a little too middle-aged for thinking that’s over the top?

Wow, that’s the new Pony Express? Half of them are wearing away jerseys and half home jerseys so they don’t even know if they’re coming or going. I guess that’s what you get when you hire a head coach with a woman’s first name. The only hope I hold onto is that those guys learned the YMCA song at one of the many Metroplex-area Showbiz Pizzas in the area when they were kids. If they’re dancing as a salute to Billy Bob and his wonderful Rock-a-Fire animatronic friends, I’m ok with that.

True fact department: Upton Sinclair was a communist, married a psychic, believed in telepathy, wrote in a backyard tree house and…….not so unbelievably…….ran for governor of California.

I’d imagine every one of the doorways is wide enough to accommodate two mid-size sedans.
