CURIOUS INDEX, 9/11/08

Beyond blog-certain! Hurricane Ike has slapped Arkansas/Texas back to September 27th, taking it's blog-certain status to fact. We're afraid, though, that Tiger Stadium will be fully...operational...when your friends from Troy North Texas arrive. MUHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAAAA!!!

What a picture of Nick Saban is doing here, we have no idea.

Classless dirtbag calls Urban Meyer "classless dirtbag." Warren Sapp may have called Urban Meyer "a classless dirtbag" for kicking a field goal at the end of the Miami game, but he has no room to talk. We looked it up. See, on Wikipedia, under the "Warren Sapp" entry, it says he has no room to talk:

Sapp has no room to talk.

See? It's on Wikipedia and MUST BE TRUE. Notice, though, that there is no direct statement in the entry like "Warren Sapp is an asshole," because Wikipedia is strictly edited, and redundancies are frowned on in general since the words "Warren Sapp" are already on the page.

Arrr, Flash Animations! The Animated Blogpoll is up, and it's ARRR-ful.

Drew Weatherford will just be over here, icing his artificial hip. Florida State may go with two quarterbacks, meaning they'll probably rotate D'Vontrey Richardson and Christian Ponder but won't divulge that to maintain "surprise," even though everyone will prepare for two anyway and just pity poor Drew Weatherford, who in his fifth year is sitting on the bench wondering where it all went pear-shaped and how long it's going to take to get those B-school applications in for fall admission.

Because scalping's even better with flair. Nifty Facebook app of the week: Ticketwall, put together by the Kid and company, a widget designed for easy ticket exchange without commissions or other nonsense. Plus, you can do it while stalking your exes silently on Facebook! Neat!

Aren’t you SUPPOSED to run it up a little in a rivalry like Florida v. Miami (Fla)?

As all the hurricanes keep petering out into storms, it’s probably time for some AD to sack up and just go ahead a play through what will just end up being a pretty cool storm. Did I mention that I’m in the Midwest?

Anyone have an updated regional TV map, now that SWC Reunion 2008 is postponed?

You kids and your online stalking. In my day we had to drive past the girl’s house repeatedly, hide in trees with our telephoto lens equipped camera to get candids, and “accidentally” bump into her at various public spaces. We got restraining orders. You get blocked. Pussies. Stalking used to mean something.

Warren knows ’em when he sees ’em. Everybody remember this (from Wiki — thanks for the source materials Orson):

On November 24, 2002, at Raymond James Stadium, Sapp drew criticism for blocking the Green Bay Packers’ Chad Clifton during an interception return by the Buccaneers. Clifton was jogging down field, away from the main action, and was blindsided by Sapp.5 The hit sent Clifton to the hospital with a pelvic injury, which ended his season. Following the 21-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers victory, Sapp and Packers’ coach Mike Sherman exchanged heated words. Sherman approached Sapp and said to him “You’re a chicken shit.”6 In response, Sapp screamed at Sherman: “If you think you’re so tough, why don’t you put on a jersey?”5 Sapp later called Sherman: “a lying, shit-eating hound. If I was 25 years old and didn’t have a kid and a conscience, I would have given him an ass-kicking right there at the 30-yard line.”5 Sherman later said of Sapp: “The joviality that existed after [the hit] when a guy’s lying on the ground, with numbness in his legs and fingers, I just thought that wasn’t appropriate for any NFL player.”6

Honestly, I can’t take a guy seriously who played for both Da U and Da Raiders. I can’t find a comparable example to explain how little credibility you’d have left. Maybe North Korean news media, but that’s about it, really. And I’m reaching deep for that one.

LSU’s friends from … where exactly is North Texas, anyway … will be there. Troy becomes an apertif before the SEC homestretch.

But what do you do when an ex starts stalking you on facebook? Hide the rabbit?

North Texas is in Denton, around the Dallas area.

I’m not sure which is worse for N. Texas, Ike or LSU. Both are going to do considerable damage. At least Ike is contained in the southern/coastal area of the state. NT won’t be lucky with LSU.

A side note: NT is coached by a former UT QB, Todd Dodge. The guy had some rough years at UT (as most QBs do, other than VY) and now he gets to coach NT. I want the guy to have some success in his life. He really needs it.

Good to know Sherman has some spunk. I’ve read that he yelled at A&M at half-time of the New Mexico game. Why the heck didn’t he start yelling during the AK. ST. game?

#10, i believe i speak for the majority in that we do not have the problem of exes stalking us b/c that implies that at some point or another we had a girlfriend for a measureable length of time

Thug U crying about having the score run up? What has this world come too.

Animated Blogpoll using some veggietales themes…. nice.

If using pictures of your ex(es) in facebook bikini pictures for “material” counts as stalking, then slap me with a restraining order.

by gold man on Sep 11, 2008 11:07 AM EDT reply actions

So I’m assuming those lame facebook “gifts” count as viable currency for the Ticketwall.

“Art come from pain. Your pain!”— Warren Sapp, celebrating a tackle by setting up an easle and painting the tackle on the Simpsons

Somehow, the whine about the Gators “running up the score” is a hundred times funnier when it comes out of Warren Sapp’s mouth.

Blon, Dodge did have quite a bit of success at Southlake Carroll. He led the Dragons to five state title games and won four. He will be fine.

If only we had run up the score on Criami in ’90’s Spurrier-esque fashion…aaah, sweet memories…how awful for Criami..a fieldgoal! The horror, the horror…
