CURIOUS INDEX, 9/12/08

I saw that Butch Davis was adopting the Tressell sweater vest idea.

It worked.

Thanks for the payout Tar Heels. The money line on Carolina was 2 to 1 just before kickoff. Straight cash homies. Easiest money I’ve made in a while betting.

Hahaha, couldn’t happen to more deserving fanbase. Rutgers can’t lose enough for me after their “F*** Navy” chant. Dumbass liberals.

And Brandon Tate can play for my team anyday.

(My team is Ohio State, Brandon, come play for us.)

Is that what people from New Jersey look like?

“God’s gameplan against Alabama sucked.”

Touche, sir. Touche.

After losing 31-14 to USC, Todd Boeckman was quoted as saying, “Jesus really let us down today. I mean, where was He on that last drive? It’s like He just phoned in a game plan. He really let us down today.”

He was instantly turned to a pillar of salt and listed as “questionable” for OSU’s next game.

Jim Tressel was unavailable for comment.

BTW, I did go to an evangelistic school, so I’ve paid my dues.

If Schiano keeps losing like this he’ll make the short list of replacements for Greg Robinson.

I realize they lost by 32 points. To UNC. But, the Rutgers fans sure showed off their yankee class last night by repeatedly booing their own team.

Aside from making current players feel like crap, they’d better hope that no recruits came to that game last night.

44-12. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of fans.

The disciples can’t run block for dick.

FSU wanted to have a rally at Dillards, but was prevented by probation officers throughout Florida.

@John –
People really have venom towards Rutgers fans? Seriously? Does this go back to their success at the turn of the 19th Century?

/Good win for the Heels though. Butch is slowly building a monster.

Twitter is to me what programming the VCR/ learning to use email was to my parents.
I don’t understand it and I don’t want to. What is the freaking point of it?

Oh yeah, and I love seeing upstart teams like Rutgers get sent back to where they belong: just below mediocrity.

Stay classy, New Jersey.

I still say the El Debarge’s second solo album ‘Gemini’ is his finest work to date. If you say otherwise, I’ll cut ya.

@9

No kidding, Alabama really crucified Clemson.

Nick Walker was a real spear in the side for Clemson. Or is it thorn in the side? I always get that one mixed up.

I think God’s gamelan vs. Alabama back in the War of Northern Aggression was akin to the OBC’s vs. Tenn and UGA in the mid 90s.

This recent Clemson vs. Bama skirmish is like having your son call the plays for a historically mediocre program and losing to Vandy. Should not count against God’s record.

re: the brawl

After watching the USCe offense the previous two games, I would have thought they were “crips.”

Allegedly, Beecher threw a sausage biscuit at one of the perpetrators, but was intercepted.

When I saw that young man perform that gesture my first thought was what a douchebag. I still stand by that reaction.

Now it would have been funny if he was picking his nose.

Go read the comments on the Bowden article. Among the sanctimonious, ridiculous comments (one of them addresses Berger simply as “Devil”), somebody named SOSBlows (great name, btw) asks the question “Does anyone think a penguin could beat up an emu? What if the emu was just getting over a cold and wasn’t at full stren[g]th?”

He then proceeds to comment, repeatedly, on his own question.

The Grove (of LA)… like The Grove (of Ole Miss) except replace the trees with Stores, and the twenty-something girls in sun dresses with fifty year olds (with twenty face lifts) in halter tops and Blahniks.

And that, in a nutshell, is the difference between the Clemson and South Carolina football programs.

We are busy making sure our boys are right with God, and they are getting into skirmishes with gangs. Allegedly, as I am not going to bother reading the story, they came to Russell House to find whomever or whatever.

As for Carolina last night, soft zone defense notwithstanding, see you boys in Tampa.

Because, I don’t see Miami scoring more than 20 points again, this season.

There is no better evidence that the Christian god does not exist, or at least does no give damn about humanity, than football.

Now the flying spaghetti monster on the other hand…

Gamecock Tony,

I live in Pennsylvania, so there’s a natural rivalry between the states. Plus, Rutgers fans would have been absolutely insufferable if they had become the national powerhouse the WWL thought that they were becoming.

God played for one Bowden at FSU, but he suspended him.

I usually root for the other Big East teams (go USF tonight!) but man oh man do I fuckin’ hate Rutgers. I wish I was there to taste the tears of those Jersey a-holes.

His noodley appendages can cause a lot of fumbles.

Where’s your god now, Tommy?

Blon, @ #23, does that mean that Bowden is, or was, god since he suspended god or the son of god? This is too confusing.

By the way your entry made me laugh.

I guess I have to wait for my old SWC game between Tejas and Arkansas. Sigh.

Re #12: Twitter is for us poor folks whose internet-amped ADD won’t let us make it through an entire blog post.

Good thing Schiano passed up all of those coaching vacancies at better programs a few years ago since they were building something great at Rutgers. Who knew they were building something on a foundation of rice? No Rice, no problem, we’ll just go back to sucking. kthanxbi

@20… Ahhh yes Coop. Clemson making them boys right. A Clemson football player would NEVER break the law. As a matter of fact Tommy rewards hard working Clemson players who do the right thing, go to school, and raise his little brother by… oh yeah, not renewing their scholarship. Go ahead, take the high road Tommy.

Nguyen overheard indicated the fight may have been gang-related.

Gang violence For The Nguyen!

Just choppin’ wood!!

I am avoiding work today (like the last three days…I’m self-employed so I can do that), wasting the hour over at Barking Carnival. If you remember the SWC, you’ll probably enjoy this…

That kid’s awfully feisty for being down only 11 before the half. He must have been a real treat at the end.

Mom and Dad must be so proud.

Is that serious? I mean, I hate the G-Cocks and Spurrier as much as the next guy, but is there really a gang-related schism on the football team? WTF?

regarding the SC fight:

If I were Nguyen I’d be watching my back on campus for the next few weeks….he might be hearing “what’s up yellow?”

Thanks Blon! Great link.

C’mon, Nguyen is obviously asian and therefore good at math. How could he not narrow the number down better than “between 5 and 12”?

A rally for USC at Nordstroms’ makes complete sense. Not least because that’s as close as most them will ever want to get to the MAC.

Nice post. The logic is unquestionable.

@ 30

If you are going to respond, it would help to know something about the situation, and not just be the stereotypical “Carolina,” fan.

Incidentally, you do understand that in every other state in the US, and every other nation in the world, you are not Carolina. You are not USC, either, so there is that as well.

You should be renamed, “where has been coaches go to die.”

However, once again, nobody had their scholarship taken from them.

He could have stayed, he would have had everything paid for, actually more, as a GA of sorts.

However, what Tommy did was cut him as a player, for all intents and purposes, not cut him from his educational funding.

If you are going to attempt to reply, at least be accurate.

Typical…

Never place a bet in Jersey without knowing where Paulie Walnuts is putting His money! Now I know why Knowshon headed south on the first thing smoking. Gang warfare at tUSCe? Where is Pete Caroll when You need Him? Pete brought peace to the gang turfs in L A, I think He could handle Columbia. Pete may be there in a couple of decades, You know, when He gets ready to give up coaching. As to Tommy Bowden, if any team is in need of prayer it is Clemson.
