CURIOUS INDEX, 6/27/2008

Wahoo! I get first comment.

Aw hell, I got nothing.

O.,…did I miss the memo? Is this the [name redacted] memorial week? “Re-live your favorite nightmare at EDSBS”? My fun-button is busted…

(seriously seeking light, brainless, blog-fodder, uh, without the charge of bad memories)…

Had we not solely recruited our QBs from the lollipop guild, our defensive players, as well as running backs and other peeps would have allowed us to make it rain, which we nearly did one year when we lost to Wake…fucking WAKE in the ACC CG. Worst. game. ever. – [comic book guy voice]

No Tech fan here but …

“given the ceiling for Tech in modern history has been the 8-5ish years of the O’Leary era.”

Didn’t they have one of those national champion-ish type years back in the early 90s (realizing that for UF fans “modern era” = Spurrier’s arrival at UF in ’90)

You neglected a redaction. The Name appeared. I’m stunned and disappointed.

One…..just one, cause that’s all it’ll take… Syrup of Ipecac cocktail to you, sir.

The Zooker’s gettin’ all up in your sexyhole now.

[REALITY REDACTED] has a nice ring to it…

OK, [NAME REDACTED] deserves all the shit you give him.

I wonder if losing to the Wannstache is one of the “99 Problems”?

Interesting article on Track’ EM Tigers.
http://www.trackemtigers.com/

Excerpt: Tim Stephens of the Orlando Sentinel… Although it’s half tongue-in-cheek, he makes some excellent points about what would be paramount for the SEC to gain as large a TV market range as possible—principly drafting Texas and Texas A&M into the conference in order to sew up the Texas marketshare. Yes, the SEC would consider going above and beyond the 12 horses already in the stable in order to create the first of the latter day super-conferences.

Texas and A&M in the SEC. What a thought.

99 Problems + Helter Skelter = best track EVAR

I’m going to say it again: Erin Andrews is not hot, unless you have a thing for ostriches or white WNBA power forwards.

blon57 @ 10:

Not gonna happen. Any more than 12 teams in a conference will dilute the earning from the championship game, in addition to reducing the likelihood of any particular team reaching said championship game. Texas has been in a 2-horse division with OU for a while now, and it has had a hell of a time reaching the big 12 CG. Why would they join the SEC where they would be in a division where 4-5 teams (assuming LSU, AU, Bama, Tex, Arkansas, etc) have a very real shot at winning the division every year, in addition to the odd years from MSU, Ole Miss, etc.

yeah… I hate intelligent, good-looking women who like sports too.

re: the Kragthorping of Louisville Football

Yay! We have a coahc that combines the worst aspects of Ron Cooper and John L Smith! While being uppity and relentlessly faux-Christian about it! UL fans are starting to re-use the old Chestnut about Mussolini and “the trains on time” in regards to Petrino.

an Orange Bowl victory was only 18 months ago

1. Just throwing it out there. Interesting. Money does run everything, though, and there is probably no end to what schools will do to make even more money to fuel more expensive FB programs.

1. And Erin is a Zeta, too. Good move, CincySooner, to list intelligent first before beautiful. Women appreciate the fact some men aren’t completely driven by visuals.

Perhaps I should check out more WNBA games:

Did this <a href="http://media.www.centralfloridafuture.com/media/storage/paper174/news/2008/06/26/News/Football.Player.Arrested.Suspended-3385378.shtml" rel="nofollow">UCF incident make it into the recent FC update? Two felony counts of vandalism (vandalism is a felony??).

7 jay-z songs, 2 musiq songs….and a kenny chesney song?

@11 – I’m partial to Big Pimpin’ myself.

#4:
1990 season, GT went 11-0-1 and split the MNC with the “fifth down” Colorado team.

#10: The idea in that article is idiotic. 16-team conferences are a bad enough idea in basketball where the conference season is 16-20 games; they would be a total joke when conference play is only 8 or 9 games. Play everyone in your division and then one or two teams out of eight from the other division? Might as well split it into two conferences at that point.

Pre FSU ACC is not modern era.

Damn straight, Chuck@11.

Decatur@12: C’mon, man. You’re describing Jimmy Clausen, not Erin Andrews.

I guess I’m the only one that thinks Arkansas caught a good one for their head chief…

@ #23

That was a little dig at our UF host. You see, there is no more relative measurement in CFB than anything qualified by “occurring in the modern era.” Here’ how it works:

Modern Era at UF = anything post hiring of Steve Spurrier

Modern Era at Auburn = anything post hiring of Pat Dye/retirement of Bahr Bryant

Modern Era at Ole Miss – (unfortunately) anything after integration*

Modern Era at Bama = there is no modern era, their greatness exceeds all measurement of time

• that one is actually pretty important

JeffAU -

For such a “johnny come lately”, how can UF have more SEC football titles than Auburn?

Suggestion for you (great quote from a bad movie): Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.

DHC

May want to have your sense of humor checked. I think it’s broken.

JeffAU -

No worries! I was just feeling a bit sensitive due to the earlier affront against Erin Andrews.

I actually (sorta, kinda) like Auburn, but don’t tell anybody.

JeffAU – you need to expand that to the rest of the conference.
As for my very own Gamecocks, the modern era inlcudes both Outback Bowl whippings of tOSU, any wins and close losses to SEC opponents since we hired Spurrier, any wins against Clemson, and any time after the final whistle in the Clemson 2007 game. It specifically does not include anything having to do with 63-17. Some purists may not allow it to include 4 wins-no losses vs. Clemson in baseball this season, but I do.

Does that mean we can finally stop hearing about Herschel??

Simmons!

Geez, I can’t believe no one has mentioned Clay Travis going to Deadspin to be one of the main writers (along with Daulerio)….
