CURIOUS INDEX, 5/20/08

Tommy Tuberville, Charlie Weis, Mark Richt, Randy Shannon, and some dude who coaches at Yale are currently in the Middle East touring military bases. Osama, watch your fucking knees. (Seriously, this a very nice thing of coaches to do, and bully to them for it, because they really don’t have to do this as wealthy, overpaid men with lots of money, etc, etc.) Mark Richt is having a globetrotting offseason, having just finished up a Honduran mission trip. (No circumcisions, reports Quinton.) The pictures depict Richt lounging in a downright Dennis Erickson-esque golf cart of death, though, further proof Evil Richt is in the house and taking no crap.
ESPN will film the opening for GameDay at USF and has requested the wearing of “generic” shirts to the shoot. Fuck ‘em USF fans: singlet guy wouldn’t go there without Bulls gear on, and neither should you. In fact, if you can take over the whole production by force, do so. Depose Big and Rich–”The red states love country with a hip-hop flair!”–and insist they use something, anything else as the theme. Khia’s “My Neck, My Back” (TNSFW) would be fine, for all we care. Just stop the WANNA LITTLE CHANG IN YOUR CHING CHANG! plague that has afflicted our college football nation for oh so long at this point. You’re our last hope, USF. Make it happen. The recruit gave our titties four thumbs down. Lydon Murtha decommitted from Minnesota and upped with Nebraska. One reason was better fit; another had something to do with a visit to a strip club. On Murtha’s recruiting visit to Minneapolis in December, his hosts took him and a group of recruits to a strip club. The recruits were given wristbands at a bar so they could drink for free. Murtha didn’t like it. He decommitted, visited Nebraska and fell in love with the place. With the native Scandinavian/German populations in both places, it is difficult to imagine a significant difference in Valkyrie-quality ta-tas between Lincoln and Minneapolis. The key factor here must be price, as strip clubs have to be more affordable in Lincoln. Virginia Tech has dropped a scholarship offer to Peter Rose, who slid headfirst into a marijuana charge this past weekend. Pete Carroll continues his freewheelin’ ways by Jaywalking around campus.
This made us very uncomfortable watching it–perhaps because we are from the South, and thus uncomfortable with our football coaches doing anything but watching tape, making players sweat pure tears, and giving taciturn looks at short, awkward press conferences. But this is Pete’s world, and we’re living in it, but that’s cool ’cause you know, he’s like, totally cool with that. (Note: no profanity, meaning COACH Rick Neuheisel may only use the “Do you want a football coach who wastes his time TALKING TO PEOPLE?” as a countermeasure against USC.) |

This Ching Chang could certainly do without any more Chang this year.

Lyndon Murtha could probably have benefited from the “gay approach” in recruiting- either that or the “FLDS approach.”

Pete Carroll sure does a lot of incoherent mumbling.
Are Big & Rich seriously still doing the gameday theme song? Say it ain’t so! Pick something new!

I thought I had mentioned the Murtha bit a while ago in the replies to some other recruiting shennanigans post. And it’s not like those trips to Deja Vu just happened during the Mason era. According to kinfolks that played for Wacker (a good Christian coach, mind you), they got the same trip Murtha got. The only difference is that they don’t have physiological similarities to the strippers (like a huge vagina).

“comin’ to your si-tay” makes we want to have my cable disconnected – using only my teeth and hands to burrow into my front yard and sever the line. I am an extremely tolerant person, but I hate Big and Rich. I hate them with a passion that would be reserved for the genetically engineered offspring of Phil Fulmer and Osama Bin Laden, who also happened to attend Auburn.
You go to hell Big and Rich, you go to hell and you die.

Screw Big and Rich, I’m still wondering why those assholes from Conn. switched away from Bubba Sparxxx’s “Back in the Mud” for the Gameday bumper/intro music. That was tolerable, those Big/Rich guys make me want to switch to ESPN+ or Jefferson Pilot (which, amazingly enough, is broadcast in Oklahoma). Not bad enough to switch to Fox Sports, which is somewhere between Ch. 37 and Dante Layer 8.

I would rather watch Big and Rich dick around with Cowboy Troy in HD on ESPN than watch Dave Neal on JP through the fishbowl they call a camera.

Pete is definitely my favorite coach in America.
“Genius engineer. And he’s really rich, I bet, huh. Yeah. Alright. Yeah. Do you know who this guy is? Yeah, how quickly we forget. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Uh-huh. You’re so right.”
It’s like he’s hypnotizing people with his agreeable mutterings and peppy attitude.

I thought the guy who answered “Eight” to the how many teams in the Pac 10 conference was an idiot. Then I remembered its not always so obvious (i.e. Big 10).

#8-
I won’t argue that JP is not unlike watching grass grow in black and white, but when you’re in Big XII country it’s strangely exotic and beckons your attention. Either way, it’s better than Big and Rich romping around like they’re in some sort of a pride parade (not that there’s anything wrong with that). If Bubba Sparxxx isn’t available, I’m going to act like a Hillary Clinton supporter and just swear off ESPN Gameday in general and watch another pre-game even though I know it’s not as good as the alternative. Being petty over something that’s ultimately trivial is fun.

Last Dragon @ 11 – it’s nice of you to be charitable, but he’s an idiot.
This is what happens after generations of grade inflation and teaching people to look for trick questions on multiple choice exams and why won’t these kids get off my damn lawn?

Or maybe the Pac 10 guy is just Old skool and never really accepted those newbie schools from the desert as “real” members.
The Pete Carroll video is awesome, but it is even funnier to imagine other coaches (RichRod, Saban, etc) trying the same kind of thing.

Pete’s a different breed of cat. Usually, when I walk into famous people, they’ll try to avoid eye contact and pretent they never saw me… kinda like a really hot sorority girl that thinks she’s better than everyone, because she is.
Anyhow, when you see Pete on campus, he’ll give you a nod and a smile and reach out to give you a handshake or high five.
Fight On Pete!

I dunno about the Valkyrie quality in Lincoln being the same as in the more northern climes but I’ll defer to your judgement in respect of this important point, Orson.-
Perhaps a little Ho-Jo-To might spruce up Husker faithful and move the program back (forward) after the Gottedamerangian experience of last year.

socalbryan,
That is funny. I remember running into John Robinson in Hoffman Hall back in the day (his second go-round), and, while not rude, he definitely didn’t give off that Pete Carroll vibe…

David Puddy says:
I am convinced that Pete Carroll is the last hope for all of human kind. Pete’s just one of those ordinary, average guys that Joe Walsh felt compelled to sing damned near 20 years ago. It’s always the run of the mill folks who supposedly do the amazing shit that makes for a great “behind the music/outside the lines/beyond the glory” kind of story.
Pete may rake in millions every year and have a cult following amongst the college football ranks, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be one of you and I. In fact, he’s more of you and I than you and I are. Pete is going to save the world someday; whether it be from global warming, nuclear war, or Ed Orgeron overdosing on Adderall and going total ape shit on the world’s population and challenging us all to fight, it’s going to be this man who continues the existence of humanity.
Or he’ll win another national championship, it’s all the same to me.

I can’t believe all the hatred for Big & Rich on here! I’m not a huge fan of the band (or country music in general), but when I hear that song, the adrenaline rushes in and I’m getting ready to hit someone I’m so excited!

Robert, if David Cook loses Idol tomorrow night, he will most likely be doing the theme for this years Raycom/JP/LF telecast.
And I’ve just marked myself a total loser for knowing at the very least that Cook is one of the two finalists.

I wonder if Jenn Sterger will somehow sleaze her way into the Gameday intro. Hopefully, they’ll focus on her tits, and edit out her face.
