CURIOUS INDEX, 4/11/08

It’s not like O’Leary has ever lied about anything before. Wait, what?

Aye, verily.

But CfLGJC was coming of some … err… MNCs and was in some ways at the apogee of his power. JoPa’s situation might be more analagous to that of Augustus (although no disrespect to the latter) who held on for a long time, had a number of false starts respecting his succession and the odd problem with some Germans.

BTW, and completely aren’t there a lot of Germans in Pennsylvania, refugees from Marshall Durfort’s somewhat most unenthusiastic activities in the Palatinate circia1688 or so.

O’leary is a man of his word. If he says he didn’t curse at Planchar’s warning signs of trouble, well then I believe him. After all, he was a coach of Notre Dame… oh wait…

On Nick Saban…

Fried Pies rule. It’s like a 600 calories a bite kind of rule.

That’s about the best Rick Bragg description I think I’ve ever heard. Nice guy, but that shit gets old old old.

OT: $20 to whoever can bring me the head of the “5 dollar foot long” composer on a platter.

Damnitt AllWhoWonder – you’re typing skillz rock! I bow to thee.

“you’re” should be “your”- as if you all didn’t know that

1. add an “unrelated” after completely above @ 2

2. scratch the “somewhat” in same sentence

OoC— just a quicker refresh, I guess. And the sour taste of O’Leary still fresh in my craw.

also, I like your version of my screen name.

While working for the New York Times, Rick Bragg once wrote a 9,000-word internal memo about the printer being out of ink that included the following terms: grist mill, clay-stained & Cumberland Gap.

That bright, shining maw of Nick Saban will be seen by 90,000 plus tomorrow at A-day.

I am certain that Saban is suffering some level of intestinal discomfort…with his facial expression assisting in the force necessary to dislodge an internal obstruction of some form or other…but for these ebays we just wouldn’t get the opportunity to enjoy his discomfiture…

re: Caesar with no contract and how well that worked out for him…right up to the point of Brutus’ dirk…not that any contract would have provided protection therefrom…

FC forthcoming update:

There’s quite the sexual assault charge in the works for Arizona. Oops, we were just cuddling!

Don’t forget George O’Leary also once sicced four DLs on an unsuspecting offensive lineman to impart the revolutionary message that quarterbacks don’t like being hit.

Then again, when the OL left GT and his mom sued the school, it gave rise to a great joke, “Q. What do the Claremont Lounge and the Georgia Tech offensive line have in common? A. A 300-pound pussy.”

13 I was about to say that’s old news… but nope it’s new. two sexual molestations in one week… check.

Bill Stewart and Bob Huggins at West Virginia don’t have contracts either: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/ncaa/04/09/wvu.contracts.ap/index.html

You’d think after Beilein’s and especially Rodriguez’s messy departures that the school would have learned its lesson.

Re: O’Leary
I’ve heard some sketchy stuff about him, and this whole tragedy fits right in. But for UCF, the school’s attitude is: anything to keep up with the big boys! Can’t get left behind too bad by USF and get grouped in with FIU and FAU! That’s why they won’t fire him for this, no matter what.

Don’t forget – O’Leary voted for a Meeshigan-tOSU rematch for the 2006 NC. That should tell us how flawed his judgment is to begin with. RIP Ereck.

From the SI article Re: Saban:

“Saban might not coach the Tide to improbable wins, say Alabama fans. But he will not lose the handle on the games that are winnable and leave Alabama at the ugly end of a soul-killing upset.” – FAIL.

O, When I saw the Saban pic I was sure you were running with the Wiz’s story about Lord Saban destroying the internet… wait, I mean having a post complaining of practice coverage removed from a Mobile Press-Register’s blog. Saban is like Stalin that way evidently.

Granted I only played football in high school, but appearing unfit did not initiate sympathy from any member of the coaching staff. In your face direction, yes; an actual boot in your ass, yes [old school]; concern for your health, not so much.

Maybe times have changed.

1. doug, truly i say to you a man has not lived until he has seen a beer can crushed by ‘blondie.’

long live the claremont opium den

AL, The last ten years have robbed this Alabama fan of a soul to kill. So.. ha! Look at this way, now we chosen people of the true faith know how the rest of you peons who lived so long in unrighteous mediocrity feel.

I’m gonna seem like an a-hole here, but do you guys really think this kid died because of George O’Leary?

Also, from a legal perspective, he almost certainly impliedly assumed the risk of heat stroke, if not expressly so (through a waiver). Granted, if his family could survive these arguments, a jury would eat this up.

1. - ten years? What about ’99? Beating Spurrier twice in the same year not good enough for you?

Damn Ala-BUMMER fans are ridiculous!!!!

:)

So is that “no count” as in:

no account

or

no ’count?

I gotsta have my down home euphamisms (Auburn fans read: country sayins) be correct and shit and all. Sorry, been editing all morning.

#23: The practice in question was at UCF’s indoor practice facility, and the temperature is kept around 75 degrees. It wasn’t heat stroke, I can guarantee you that.

saw Saben in his grey suit jacket and thought it was going to be about this:

(hoping he wears the grey Sansabelts tomorrow)

Al – Beating Florida twice was and winning the SEC was great. Losing the La. Tech was soul rendering.

Whenever that Subway commercial comes on, I always quote Bachelor Party:

“Is that the foot long?”
“And then some!”

@ 27

It’s always funny when the Nick Suckers then step on their johnsons

You gentlemen are obviously dismayed by the workings of " The pachyderm Pravda."

(sotto voce) “the system, don’t doubt the system.”

To add to Picture Me Rollin, there have been a couple of bright spots in the last ten years, but each one has been followed by a kick to the groin.

It has been a humbling to say the least which is why Bama fans are tired of the suggestion that we demand results right away and are going to run Saban off he doesn’t win big this year etc…

@32

No one thinks you’re going to run Saban off. With a $32MM, one-way buyout clause, even you guys aren’t that dumb. (Right?)

Drive him so freakin’ insane that he walks on his own — now that’s another matter.

Re: the NS photo

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist…..

….but it looks like Saban needs to take the time to have a shit.

Be like Joel eating those Nature Valley granola bars. Ummm……fiber.

So he bought her a house. And makes her slave away all week long for him at his Gray Suit Warehouse. Pitiful, but to be expected. Pays her in fried pies, too, which are legal tender in WV (along w/ honey buns).

@34 poor guy.

Looks like it’s passing sideways.

I believe the past few years have been upsetting, discouraging, and even humiliating for Bama fans. But I do not believe that they have been humbling based on my recent observations…at least not humbling enough.

1. Dave —

Don’t you be dissin’ FAU - we won our bowl game last year. How did everyone else from Florida do? :)

But you’re absolutely right — UCF fans are scared to death that they’re being left behind. USF doesn’t want anything to do with them anymore, so they’re looking to pick a fight with anybody. At least they’re fans do. They really think they walk on water in Orlando. I’m not sure there’s ever been a ballsier mid-major.

Mmmmmm………..billable hours.
