Around SBN: Shattered: Wisconsin's home winning streak ends

CURIOUS INDEX, 7/11/08

The OB is under demolition. From the pics, the ambiance is slightly improved with the addition of wreckage and twisted metal. WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME!!! ONLY ONE SHALL LEAVE!

The Sun-Sentinel has the rest of the pics, but we're onto something with this idea. Imagine the intimidation factor of playing in a stadium that looks like a bowlful of apocalypse, as if Dethklok had just rolled through, and we're talking prime terror time for opponents. Night football...now with torches! That to the tune of the opening thirty seconds of "Killing in the Name Of" would be lethal buck awesome to the power of Bronson, motherfucker.

(BTW, that's birthday wish number one: ditch the current Florida intro of "Thunderstruck" and just play seconds one through fifty three of the song. RATM is just fratty enough to get brahsome hopping while being just loud enough to bring out the blood anger in the rest of the crowd. The only people it offends will be Klansmen, but you can't please everyone, sir.)

Matt Jones always did look a bit sleepy now that we think of it. Except when he was outrunning defenders, which we're pretty sure he could do at the collegiate level most of the time without a bloodstream full of spunk powder.

It's okay, though, to have a drug problem. It happens to the best of us.

Speaking of cocaine......the guys who made our favorite documentary ever, Cocaine Cowboys, will be making one of ESPN's 30th anniversary documentaries on...The Miami Hurricanes of the 1980s. Glee does not describe the potential result of this movie being made, especially if they get Trick Daddy to talk about how Miami football makes the asses of Miami women fatter.

In the Bleachers podcasts are one of the Equatorial Republic of Blogfrica's best-kept secrets: this week a whole slew of Big East blogdom appear on the show, and the whole thing is well worth a listen, especially because it is Friday, you do not want to work, and with the headphones in you can't hear your co-worker across the aisle complaining endlessly about her boyfriend who clearly does not love her and is seeing someone else, but "just isn't that great about communicating his feelings," except with his dick, of course.

The best part about blogging: the whole quote and nothing but the whole quote. Jason Peter, in his new book about how absolutely skillful he was at taking drugs and banging hookers, has this to say about Lou Holtz.

"I still wouldn't turn down the opportunity to spit in Lou Holtz's (bleeping) face," Peter writes in the book, which hit bookshelves on July 8. "Each Saturday in the fall when Holtz makes his jovial, dumb ... remarks on ESPN, I hope he knows that there's at least one family on the other side of the screen, the Peter family, that knows what a -- -- -- he really is."

Whoa, let's put that through blogvision and put the real quotes in there. Just one sec...okay, there:

"I still wouldn't turn down the opportunity to spit in Lou Holtz's wizened, impish, and churlishly charming! face," Peter writes in the book, which hit bookshelves on July 8. "Each Saturday in the fall when Holtz makes his jovial, dumb... remarks on ESPN, I hope he knows that there's at least one family on the other side of the screen, the Peter family, that knows what a skillful pickpocket and recognized authority on the metallurgy of sex toys he really is."

Glad to bring you the whole story. We do what we can. Do not forget: Jason Peter was positively Olympian when it came to banging hookers while eating Oxycodone from a candy dish perched on their back. This is an important, important point.

Wait, Peter has nursed a white-hot hate for 12 years . . . because Holtz didn’t call his little brother? I admit, that was pretty shitty of Holtz, but it’s not as if he personally broke the kid’s neck. Dude needs to let that shit go or he’ll eventually turn to drugs to ease the pain and . . . oh.

The City of Miami welcomes you to the demolition of the Orange Bowl. When we played them in Tempe in January 2003, they did not have home field advantage, despite wearing the home jerseys.

Seeing Jason Peter’s name in print is unusual without an arrest report to go with it.

It’s a damn shame we can’t use Matt Jones to accumulate some points in the Fulmer Cup. I believe with his charges and the stupidity of chopping lines in a parking lot, Arkansas could have made a hell of a leap in the standings.

There is no whining in football, as opposed to Americans, who according to Phil Gram, whine all the time.

Jason Peter seems to think that Lou Holtz should have cared about his players? Once that kid was out of the game, he ceased to matter to a coach that wanted only to win. He was of no use. Considering how Holtz left the programs where he coached, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Yeah I think they’ve gone a year too long with the AC/DC… I’m all for RATM. They also need to get rid of that damn idiot that comes on the field to get the crowd fired up before the game. Talk about lame.

Speaking of ass – anyone see the Bunda on that Grecian goddess on “Smarter than a Fifth Grader”- Fox didn’t disappoint either in the disproportionate amount of air time that view got either.

And Blon57 – if by “left the programs in which he coached” you mean a big ass fight both before kickoff and after the game at Clemson, the team getting punished and not being to go to a bowl game, and players doing their part to secure the missed bowl per diem (ala stolen laptops for cash), the right you are!

You obviously have never been to Rice Stadium. I’m waiting for that thing to just fall down by itself.

Considering how poorly ND teams fared there in the ‘80s, it seems a little odd that I am sad to see the Orange Bowl stadium go. It used to be the last bowl game in what used to be the college football fan’s Christmas – New Year’s Day (before they moved the Sugar Bowl to primetime). Another link to my teen years meets the wrecking ball….

Oh, and I saw my first Bruce Springsteen concert there in 1985. The palm trees behind the endzone (and thus the stage) were kind of a strange backdrop for a Jersey rocker, but Bruce played for 4 hours in the late summer heat. Best concert I’ve ever seen, or probably will see…..

My favorite Jason Peter story ever, from a guy who was in the dorms at the same time as him:

Apparently,l this guy got up to pee around 3:00 in the morning one night. When he walked into the bathroom, Jason Peter was standing there butt ass naked by the sink, washing his balls with soap and water.

“What are you doing?” the kid, understandably, asks.

“If you’d seen the chick I just fucked, you’d be washing your balls, too,” is the reply.

I’m glad to see the OB go. While New Year’s Eve 1995 on South Beach was great, the ND/FSU bowl day that followed was not. Nothing like giving up 17 unanswered in the 4th quarter.

They should have attempted to sell the Orange Bowl seats like they do at other programs.

Nothing funny to add, as usual, I just think that there would be some Dolphins or Hurricane fans that would be interested in owning some of that memorabilia.

As I recall, some enterprising Carolina undergrad students got some of the old Dean Dome seats Carolina replaced, and sold them on ebay.

By spitting, Lou Holtz created Hurricane Katrina. No fuckin’ body out-spits Lou Holtz. Nobody.

We’ve all been there. But, in all fairness, when we roll our asses out of there, what’re the odds that the women do the analagous thing? I’m takin’ 11/10

Coop – according to the Sun-Sentinel, all those tens of thousands of da U fans can buy concrete, seats, goal posts, and yes – even – urinals.

Spitting in Lou’s face is like shooting a load in Tera Patrick’s – he’d never even notice.

Also, Cocaine Cowboys was awesome!

Looking at that pic of the OB …

I’m neither a civil engineer nor a demolitions expert, but is it a good idea to leave the upper deck hanging like that while you work on demolishing the lower bowl? Woulda kinda thought they would either start from the top down or somehow implode the thing.

  1. …what’re the odds that the women do the analagous thing?

It is worse. Women talk and you never live it down. It’s just ugly. I always felt sorry for the guys that got trashed after a date.

Women can be cruel.

by blon57 on Jul 11, 2008 12:40 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Blon57— you hit a nerve here, friend. :)

I will never understand why women would ever, ever willingly sleep with a guy who would talk shit about them afterwards. I don’t think it’s too hard to predict, either (but then again I grew up with brothers, which may have helped.)

On the other hand, I think it’s harder for men to know when a woman will talk shit about them after a date. If it’s any help, women have a great bullshit detector in these cases— yeah, sure, the guy who was the greatest lay ever until you broke up is suddenly now a slug in the sack? Notsomuch, honey, but then again I didn’t believe that you’d had 50 orgasms in one night in the first place.

Seriously, I put NO credence in what another women says about sex with a man she is no longer with unless we are good enough friends that I can trust she isn’t lying AND what she says isn’t too over the top AND she has no obvious motive for doing so. It’s just too easy a cheap shot.

I agree. And as I said, women can be cruel. A very sad reality about our gender.

That’s why I spend a lot more time with males rather than females.

And most women don’t know nearly enough about football.

by blon57 on Jul 11, 2008 1:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Ah, so you’re a lady too, huh? Then you know what I’m talking about.

Women are very cruel. I totally buy the theory that because we are expected to not show anger or displeasure openly that we channel it into meanness and ostracism. I have to fight that tendency myself, and I have NO patience for it in other women.

Or the anger turns into passive aggressive behavior, for which I have absolutely no tolerance.

The single men on the blog are now rethinking the whole dating scenario…turning only to beer and football.
