CURIOUS INDEX, 9/16/08

Room 101 is currently screening the Auburn v Miss State game on a continuous loop.

Hearing Rocky Top all damn day sounds like my version of my own personal hell. Has anyone actually read the lyrics? They don’t make any sense whatsoever. Not to mention that the student body does not know most of the lyrics either. Its bullshit.

Falklands nothing. That was Waterloo. Notre Dame has given everyone in the Big Ten hope. Even Northwestern has the Michigan game circled on their calander now.

As much as I hate Rocky Top – and I agree that it is a stupid song about bestiality – and killing government officials – I still like the “whooo” part.

Florida State is looking up at Wake Forest.

This has been true in US News & World Report’s top 25 for years.

The FSU player interviewed in the linked article says that the Wake game is their ACC Championship.

Since we can now assume the stadium will be half empty, do you think they’ll bother to televise it?

Charlie Weis definitely could not afford another ticket on his Porsche. And that low speed blowout didn’t help either.

Preparation for game VS Tenn:

go buy hamster…cute little fuzzy one

turn on looped off-key version of Rocky Top… play at various levels of loudness so as to be totally annoying

at the point when I either bite the head off or strangle the hamster I know I am ready for the game

usually takes about 5 min

1. - Rocky Top was a great song long before Tennessee got their hands on it.

About bestiality? WTF are you talking about? It’s a metaphor, dummy.

And why are you such a fan of Revenuers?

Yep, Orson, that Michigan team would have and should won by 60 because they’re the better team. Except they turned the ball over, say, nine times and some of the turnovers weren’t even straight Michigan goof-ups.

First verse of Rocky Top (I swear I’m not making this up):

Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top
 Down in the Tennessee hills
Aint’ no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top
 Ain’t no telephone bills
Once I had a girl on Rocky Top
 Half bear, other half cat
Wild as a mink,
 but sweet as soda pop
I still dream about that.

As they say, res ipsa loquitur.

Although it does beg the question — which half was bear and which half was cat?

re: It’s crunchy and delicious…

You knew that was coming at some point. I bet Clausen downloaded the video.

4 & 11

It’s a metaphor. Along those same lines, semi-attractive 45-year-old women aren’t really cougars, they’re still human beings.

It’s a really catchy song; I just don’t want to hear it this Saturday.

Wait, half was a bear? That’s no fair!

Another freaky aspect to the original version: It’s a man singing!

Ok, I’ll shut up now!

I understand the concept of a metaphor. However, if I were to use a metaphor to describe a hot girl – half bear doesn’t cut it. I don’t support revenooers – I just don’t think I would glorify killing someone in a song. Except for the “whooo” part, it still is a stupid song which I hope gets absolutely no playtime this weekend.

Orson, will there be a new bet with Holly this year?

How about this:
- if UT wins, you have to jump naked into the Tennessee River
- if UF wins, Holly has to jump naked into Lake Alice

On the topic of sexy, carnivorous mountain species, I submit Megan Fox is from Tenn.

“Look, I’m not a lesbian,” said Fox. “I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl — Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing. And lately I’ve been obsessed with Jenna Jameson, but … oh boy.”

Apparently being on a 90210 allows you to BAG such a beast.

So wait…Fulmer isn’t Big Brother??

FAT JOKE!!!

#10: I think you misread. He’s saying that drawing a comparison between this year’s uglyfest and the ass-kicking Michigan delivered last year (which could easily have been 60) is a bit of a stretch.

WTF are you talking about? It’s a metaphor, dummy.

People in TN actually understand metaphors? I think that may be a stretch.

Orson, nice A-11 reference. As an alumnus of tiny Piedmont High and their wacky-ass offense, it’s nice to see that they’re doing what they can to survive. I’d love to see Sherman and little ’ole A&M give it a go… (us small schools have to stick together you know)

@11

This is America, where we speak American. If you want to talk in Latin, go back to Latinrabia.

BTW, not a Tenn fan, but Rocky Top really is a great fight song. At least it has interesting lyrics, vs. the words “hail”, “champions”, and other lyrics that are the template for every other fight song that exists.

“We are proud (insert state or school name here) men!” gets old after the billionmillionith time.

meatybob:

I am pretty sure that you missing the entire point of Tennessee Hate Week.

Also if you are not a Tenn fan, but think Rocky Top really is a great fight song, then you are obviously not affiliated with any school in the SEC either. Although there are differences and hatreds between the various schools in the SEC, we all stand United against that Orange Shitbox and that pussy ass song.

Good day, sir.

Sorry Holly, but its true.

I really wasn’t feeling the hate until #23.

That’s the spirit!

SpartyDan,

You’re probably right. Having to watch both previous “YaketySax” videos may have had an effect on me to see red at the mention of it. That said, it had a lot more in common to the 2006 version than the 2007 version.

I’m looking forward to this weekend’s game between ND and MSU. If we can somehow pull out the win in East Lansing, it would say the team has really made bid strides. As talented as Javon Stringer is, I’m glad “Run like” Jehru Culcrick has left the program.

Sean F

Would you also like to watch a battle between Nora the Explorer and Rainbow Brite too? Because I would rather watch that shit, than ND and MSU.

They low down, dirty, and they snitches. No need to go any further to explain the hate.

But if you were to go a little further, another reason is that they orange. That puke inside a pumpkin orange. I hate pumpkins too.

People in TN actually understand metaphors? I think that may be a stretch.

Seriously, children, it’s called Hate Week. That all you got?

Holly, my hatred for UT has slowly transformed into pity. I don’t see you guys being a national power again until you get rid of Fulmer (and perhaps steal Cutcliffe back from Duke), which you’ve been on the verge of doing for quite some time now.

I feel the same way about FSU.

Holly,

No one can express their hatred quite as eloquently as this guy. I know everyone has seen this video, but it is funny everytime.

Hey, I live in Texas. That’s the best I can do.

Bear would be a better metaphor for Fulner. A caged bear on the loose, an angry bear that must be handeled with dispatch, and a heavy caliber rifle. Be very careful Gators and for God’s sake make the first shot count. You do not want to deal with a wounded bear. The bright spot for UGA fans is that someone will lose. I am just hoping for another 3-2 score.

Tennessee earned my hatred when they came down and embarrassed us when Gameday was here in Athens.

If only I’d known that Quincy Carter had shot his wad the week before at LSU………
