Around SBN: Tottenham's Plans for Northumberland Stadium Approved

CURIOUS INDEX, 8/8/2008

The SN Column is up, and it's a laundry list of things we won't do, but will eventually do, and are just copping to early. It's ADDriffic, as is this edition of the CI, which is being typed from the lobby of a very spiffy Hampton Inn in Statesboro, GA. (Assignment: Chris Hatcher and GSU, who play UGA in week one and could provide some smart insight into what makes Georgia so vrry, vrry hyped.)

Canes defensive tackle Antonio Dixon is out of the hospital in Miami following an overnight stay due to heat-related symptoms at a Miami practice. You might say, "What in the hell is someone from Miami doing having problems with the heat?" We would ask, "If someone from Miami is having trouble in practice, it must be hotter than Satan's asshole out there, and they would know better than you."

R.I.P., Simpson Pepper. A moment of silence for the longtime Bama P.A. man, please. Have you hugged your P.A. announcer today? You should. Please drive safely.

Steele Hull. Grrrrr. LSU adds a walk-on fullback named "Steele Hull," who just became the default starter at the position for our all-name team. We still await the real life version of Leslie Nielsen's "Dick Steele" from Spy Hard, and if you're mocking our double lowbrow, direct to DVD movie tastes in this instance, you haven't lived until you've seen Evil Andy Griffith talk about his pretty robotic arms.

SMQ is not a crook. He moves on, and we flash Ali G shoulder thumps and peace signs in his general directions. Respek, sir.

Orson if you write a great article on the Eagles I will volunteer to have your babies. I lived in Statesboro from 01 to early 07 and I must say I had the best time of my life. The football team is great and the deserve to be more well known.

I know we’re gonna get killed by UGA to kickoff the season, but maybe it’ll be interesting.

Also…we beat App State. Yes….that App State.

Sorry you didn’t get to go to the Olympics swindle.
I would have enjoyed your take on the games and the surrounding security.

Statesboro—-mmmmmmm Snooky’s. It’s not the same without Erk’s wrinkled up head at his table though.

I love the fact that the headline at SN says “Be sure to avoid these temptations” while surrounded by banner ads for Singlesnet.com.

I was Soutern for a couple of semesters and witnessed the apex of the Johnson years. That ’99 team was fun to watch. Peterson was a beast, even if he was dumb as a sack of rocks:

Those singlesnet.com ads offer hilarity themselves. The small caption below the pictures of the various bombshells says “these photos may or may not be actual members of singlesnet…”

If only match.com were so honest…

I’ve got to forward th SN article to my girlfriend – otherwise she’ll never believe that other people speak keithjackson during the season.

Don’t believe him, folks; Orson’s in China. The Statesboro thing is just a cover up.

by PW on Aug 8, 2008 9:58 AM EDT reply actions  

…like we’re really supposed to believe that the southern portion of Georgia is capable of sustaining a university.

by PW on Aug 8, 2008 9:59 AM EDT reply actions  

PW,

No, but there are more than enough dumbasses from the Atlanta area who couldn’t get into Georgia and need a place to go.

Spy Hard wasn’t direct to DVD. I saw that shit in the theater. Marcia Gay Harden has never been hotter.

by Todd on Aug 8, 2008 10:08 AM EDT reply actions  

I can vouch for the Statesboro Hampton Inn. It’s way better than you would expect. I recommend the jacuzzi tubs.

Statesboro by the way is the only college town I know of where a city council crackdown on underage drinking prompted students to come out in force to vote for a local bar owner for a seat on the council. Some college students get mean when they’re drunk. Apparently, the Eagles get all democratic.

Steele Hull, pffft. Georgia’s recruiting a middle linebacker out of Lowndes County named Plutonium Airframe. Do not mess with this kid.

by Doug on Aug 8, 2008 10:10 AM EDT reply actions  

Orson, you realize Bulloch county is semi-dry. Just in case you didn’t come prepared….take 301 south to 46 west toward Metter. County line.

…also the best restaurant in town is (I’m not making this up) The Beaver House.

by hunglikehussein on Aug 8, 2008 10:19 AM EDT reply actions  

what makes Georgia so vrry, vrry hyped? Not sure, but they sure are following through. Just this morning CNN was reporting that Georgia downed two Russian warplanes. Russian mf’n warplanes.

Do not, I repeat do not fly your team to Athens for your game this year. If they can shoot down warplanes, comercial jets have no chance. Seriously.

I can believe that dude having trouble with the heat. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year thusfar down here in Lauderdale.

19 — Obviously, the South (Ossetia) has risen again.

No trip to Statesburrrrrr is complete without a visit to Beautiful Eagle Creek, the drainage ditch behind the practice fields. God bless ’em.

I spent a night in Statesboro drinking on some bar deck with some pretty nice looking co-eds. Nice town.

by GamecockTony on Aug 8, 2008 10:55 AM EDT reply actions  

Statesboro is full of quality trim. Just go walk down the pedestrium in the middle of campus. Orson is actually there at a really good time, classes start in a little over a week so the sororities should have the new applicants moving in so there’ll be an overwhelming hot female population for the next week or so.

@18

I emphatically agree. The Beaver House is the shit. Best time is Sunday lunch though.

I said Beaver……

Miami really isn’t that hot though – they’ve never even had a recorded temperature of over 100deg there. Humid maybe, but not brutally hot.

There’s plenty of teams in the deep south practicing in much hotter temps than Miami right now.

I promise not to cry when Auburn’s perfect season is ruined by Ole Miss a week after beating a superior WVU team in Morgantown.

I concur with #25. Miami is remarkable because it stays warm throughout the year, but in the summertime it has heat indices lower than South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, et al

Thaks for the Simpson Pepper nod. He was the best. Low key and understated. They guy Bama has now is a jackass. He sounds like an NBA guy. When Bama lost in 5 OTs to UT a few years ago, he yelled out “more free football!!” after every attempt by our sorry defense to stop them, including 4th and 19. Half the stadium wanted to shoot him the brain.

Many, many years ago, my wife and I found out the hard way why you don’t make a spur-of-the-moment trip to Savannah on a Saturday night. After hours of fruitless search for lodging, I pointed the car onto I-16 west and made a promise to God that if I could find a room in Statesboro I would cheer for GSU the rest of my life.

Lo and behold, the Hampton Inn was there in our hour of need (the hour being 3 a.m. to be specific). Therefore, GO EAGLES!

Plutonium Airframe…
I’m leaving the office and getting drunk now. that shit is far too funny to allow me to work the rest of the day.

Too bad the Wooden Nikel went under, but Ace is too busy making “Girls Gone Wild” videos.

Check out the insane amount of votes on the ESPN helmet poll. Everyone has invited all of there relatives all over the world to vote.

Coach Pepper wasn’t just the Bama PA man. He did the PA for Legion Field in general, including the occasional non-Iron Bowl Auburn games and also high school events.
