CURIOUS INDEX, 5/28/08


Nick Saban is still pissed about the "Nick Saban" rule that bans coaches from visiting up-and-coming seniors in their schools in May. We only hope we are associated so much with the abuse of a rule one day that a counter-rule involving our name is created to prevent us engaging in said behavior. Lord Sauron himself:

“I understand why they did it,” Saban said. “It was because everybody was paranoid about what everybody else is doing. I got turned in all kind of times because I was supposedly doing this and that and I wasn’t doing it. I was just watching practice and evaluating players, which is part of our job.”

The comment comes from the SEC elbow-rub down in Destin this week. Hopefully someone warned the Donut Hole about Phil coming, but we suspect they have the date circled on the calendar.

Nebraska still pines for the mighty fullbacks of yesteryear. The best part about runs like Tom Rathman's highlight reel below is their immediacy: no lurch from the linebackers, no lineman sweeping out: instead, immediate contact at the line of scrimmage from the biggest nastiest players on the field. The boxing comparison would be having two heavyweights starting the fight with their first punch already cocked and then immediately unloading.

SMQ takes a look at Murrahland and concludes that--huzzah!--you can hope to get back to .500! See, you came from nothing, and now you're going back to nothing! Always look on the bright side of life!

It's not relevant, but it's appropriate, right? In an article on Iowa State players attempting to make it in the NFL in the Iowa State Daily, there's an odd and incorrectly placed picture...that now that you look at it for a while, well, makes for a pretty good summary of Iowa State football.


Since Seneca Wallace, yes, that sums it up.

An Iowa football retrospective......of their recent arrests. City Boyz Inc, mourn ya till we join ya, lawya.

Ferentz isn’t running a football team, he’s operating a halfway house.

Both Donut Hole locations are safe. However, a Little Debbie tractor trailor lies overturned and in flames at the corner of Hwy 98 and Danny Wuerffel Way. Police followed a trail of Nutty Bar wrappers to Sandestin and are seeking a certain SEC head football coach for questioning.

The destruction of so many delicious blueberry donuts would make us weep.

Little Debbie should have known better and hired armed guards, just like Carolina Foods does when the is any mention of Phat Phil, Mangino, Weis or Freidgen being in the Charlotte metro area.

Mmmmmmm, Duchess honey buns…

  1. - Yes, I have often thought that we are merely one 7-5 Terp season, and the subsequent Tire Bowl berth, away from the destruction of Carolina Foods’ confectionery goodness.

No, but I see no reason why we can’t start this rumor.

I must say I feel you are not appropriately appreciating the technique and timing involved in those two beautifully run trap plays by Nebraska.

Maybe if both boxers were cocked, but one ducked the others hook and countered with an uppercut, or something like that.

Forgive me, the first was an option. Still a beautiful play though.

I’m glad Fulmer and Weis didnt go to the Iraq Coaches tour…imagine the carnage…if they were in the same conference…the Little Debbies would have an armored car escort…
As for Nebraska…after the Rathman video, click on “Tour the Nebraska athletic complex pt 2” where the mention that “this facility boast its own PHARMACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” …and this is ok by the NCAA how?? Kid, your Strength coach is also your PHARMACIST……no conflict there, no siree…..by that logic ,why dont we let Iowa State players be loan officers at the local credit union branch?
