Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

CURIOUS INDEX, 10/14/08

It's getting dusty in here. Listen to a Clemson fan completely lose their shit at the 1:00 mark. It's not the Gundy-fun way, either, but that awful thing people do when their eyes begin to spout water, their breathing gets labored, and everyone in the room just wants to pull a ninja smoke bomb out and disappear. That thing called...what is it...yes, crying like a scalded infant.

Internet law, repeated: If it's in Wikipedia, it must be true, especially if it's about a storied football program and their coach after a loss to Toledo.

Toledo players, btw, honored the achievement of being the first MAC team to beat Michigan ever by getting arrested in a fight involving "about forty people." In case you're wondering at what point a "brawl" crosses over into being a "riot," we'll just establish a little rule right now: it's at approximately forty people.

He took a knee for a 67 yard TD. Sometimes another team is so inept you can't help but score, as was the case when Naples High beat pitiable Estero High 91-0 this past weekend. Do not blame Naples: Estero doesn't, as Naples only ran 31 plays the entire night and had backbenchers in for the second half.

"Hey," offered Estero defensive line coach Pat Hayes after the one-sided affair, "I didn't even know 91 was a multiple of seven."

Let's hope he doesn't teach math, and instead has the customary "History/Civics/sleeping with senior student" slot reserved for coaches at most high schools.

FIU: Un-awful! Bruce Feldman has an informative list of spectacular turnarounds and includes the unlikely but accurate pick of FIU, the consensus Donkey Prize winner for Worst Team in D-1, who currently has a three-game win streak going. All credit to Ned for showing the way to Badass Lane for the Panthers.

Brandon Tate, out. The Tarheels' explosive returner and wideout is gone for the season.

I like to go to the ocean to cry. It’s the one place that makes my tears seem small.

Poor Michigan. First its App State, now Toledo. What’s next? Slippery Rock?

Michigan sucks this year, no doubt about that. But, why do I get the feeling that they will still beat Penn State this weekend to continue PSU’s 11 or 12 year losing streak to UMich.

Prolly gonna sound ignorant here, but what’s OSH?

Also that “I didn’t realize 91 was a multiple of 7” quote was the funniest thing I’ve heard all week.

My high school’s D Coordinator taught geometry, and answered every single question in class with, “Let’s read example 1A…” It was a beautiful thing.

Also, once he failed enough at D Coordinator he became the O Coordinator. And somehow our team was good. Woo high school football.

91-0 aint ****. In texas our games are 102-96

I swear to God I had nothing to do with that wiki entry. If Toledo was the worst loss in UM history, what was App St? Lets call them 1-A and 1-AA.

Our football coach taught health and PE. We finished up with the health curriculum a day early, and he decided he still had to teach us something on the last day of class. So Coach Nestor attempted to teach us how to calculate square roots the way he had learned back in the early 40s—by hand.

Of course, he had completely forgotten how, and he kept getting sqrt(2) to come out to 1.5 exactly. It would have been kinda sad if he wasn’t the kind of guy who made fun of himself the whole time he was doing it.

Just as heartbreaking – Dickie Lyons, Jr.’s college career is over. As much as I always want UF to beat UK, he was still incredible to watch. An incredibly talented athlete.

@4 As best I can figure, it was a fat-fingered satirist who missed the “U” and nailed the “H”. Must have been a in-house hater tho, Wayne would not have made that error—or left of the prefix-ified lower-case “t”.

that weepy Clemson fellow is nothing….

hell, they cry for the loss of the Bear every week on Finebaum’s radio show…even when they are winning

by InsaneCoachPosse on Oct 14, 2008 10:22 AM EDT reply actions  

Sad enough to send it twice.

As for the high school game, I am most surprised at the parents who were mad that their sons didn’t play. So much for sportsmanship.

@3 As much as I would like Michigan to win, I don’t see it happening. Joe Pa’s rambling has invoked dark magic. That crazy troll has his boys playing possessed. Michigan, on the other hand looks like “a bunch of retards humping a door knob”.

Now on to Clemson, Estrogen U is in dire need of some testosterone or they should change the mascot to somthing less threatening like a rainbow.

@ 2 & 7….

I repeat….

How many batteries does it take to light up the Big House?

1AA

….if only Toledo was a 1 AA school, the punchline could be:

2 AA’s

@hobeg8r

At first, I thought it was parents compaining about their kids not seeing the field because of lack of ability, but now that I see it is the other way around…

life is going to be a trainwreck for these kids.

Part of me just wants to give that weepy Clemson fan a hug, and by “give him a hug” I mean “slowly back away while not making eye contact.”

#18….touche! Awesome find!

Absolutely nothing is funnier than a grown man crying in public or a dog rubbing his ass on a carpet. NOTHING!

Maybe rioting is an Ohio thing, not just an ohio state thing? I need to see if Miami U or Youngstown State riots after wins.

Happy Clemson Fan Dept;

That cryn’ Clemson fan was funny and sad…I guess the “dramedy” of college footbaw.

To make things lighter, remember Dancing Fat Boy Clemson Fan? This is comedy gold!

Brandon Tate is an amazing college football player. The ACC will miss him. Hopefully he can rehab and still find a place in the NFL.

This is why you drink beer, and don’t take ecstasy, before a football game. RAVE ON!!!

I’m glad that happened at Clemson, because for a second I thought that was me. Yeesh. This is exactly I should always wait until after AFTER the game to switch to bourbon.

That guy must be pretty lonely…he’s the only sad Clemson fan out there.

I think that was Tuberville on the phone. He can empathize. He knows how close he is to the same outcome.

Future Buckeye Carlos “Mr.” Hyde plays for that Naples team and scored the first two touchdowns, one a 55-yard catch and run. It took him 9 minutes to run the 55 yards of course, being a Big Ten commitment.

UGA OT Vance also went down with the knee Saturday and is out for the year, joining his teammates Sturdivant and Owens. Is this the year of the ACL? As for Dave, I don’t blame him. If I was a Clemson fan I would cry too!

I live near Clemson, and on all the damn sports shows, every third person is calling in and crying about “Tommy Bowden is a good man who graduates his kids and builds facilities and prays a lot and he doesn’t deserve to be fired BRING HIM BACK” and we get all this in-depth analysis on how this is going to bring shame to his family and how all the poor assistant coaches who will get fired won’t get the severance package TB did, so obviously, they’ll all be found unwashed and starving in downtown Clemson, and all the players will just wander mutely around the playing field, like lost sheep in need of a shepherd.

Do the rest of y’all go through this when you fire a coach, too?

by Magic Hobo on Oct 14, 2008 11:04 PM EDT reply actions  

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that were a South Carolina fan calling in to that show. It’s ashame if it’s true… becuase that’s just too funny if that’s legitimately a Clemson fan. I love my Bulldogs and all, but I don’t think I’d be crying at such a juncture.

@32: Arkansas went through it when we fired a used up Nutt. One of my friends has a saying when someone says “Coach xx is a great man.” He always respond with “So is my grandpa but that doesn’t make him a great coach.”
