CURIOUS INDEX, 11/3/08

Didn’t see that coming. God, did we suck!

he even gave him the post beat down face screaming a la stone cold steve austin.

and that’s the bottom line…cuz brandon spikes said so.

This victory, due to Richt’s shenanigans from ’07, will be savored for a long time. Like a fine glass of wine.

Or a woman.

As a resident of Tulsa and a supporter of our fine Zoo, I appreciate the shout-out, Orson. And thank you for recognizing what we here in Tulsa have known for awhile, which is that Hank the Orangutang is one of the finest minds in college football. He’s kindof like Phil Steele, except he occasionally flings his feces at you, which I guess would make him more like Mark May.

it is complete crap that PSU is paying the price for tOSU sucking. That is complete b.s. But for now we’ll sit back and watch ‘Bama and TT try to win out. Doubtful. If they do, they deserve it and we’ll just have to go on and win the Rose Bowl. Oh, and can I just mention how much I hate Mark May?

I certainly have my doubts about Penn State as well, but after watching that game Saturday night, I can tell you one thing- their freaking safety would have at least hit Crabtree on the sideline, instead of sauntering out of bounds for some reason…

That has to be one of the best hits I have ever seen. It’s up there with Greg Jones (FSU) making a North Carolina defender fly through the air after hitting him with his forearm.

Ouch! Nice hit, there.

Blah blah blah….Penn State….blah blah blah.

Zzzzzzzzz.

When the time arrives, ain’t NO coach gonna be happy facing JoePa for all the marbles. None.

Chatter while you can.

Hey, did you guys hear that Mike Leach has an affinity for pirates? I had no idea!

Guys, guys, did you know that Texas Tech’s kicker is a ….. gasp…..walk-on???

I had no idea!

Not that anyone has mentioned it on this particular post but I like how defense doesn’t matter to Georgia fans all the sudden. I have read multiple posts about how Georgia beat themselves. It couldn’t have had anything to do with Florida’s front seven shutting down the best running back in the SEC or perhaps the country? Or getting to Stafford? That stuff doesn’t matter I guess. And here I was thinking Florida and Georgia played in the SEC where defense was king.

I’m glad the UF players pulled Spikes off of Moreno. Another few seconds and Moreno would be having Spikes’ love child.

Lest I appear a weasel for smack talking and disappearing: The Gators rock. You were a much better team than we were and you were better prepared. Good win, and I hope you go on and win the whole thing.

1. - my thought exactly. Why didn’t the Texas safety blast into both of those guys? A lot of times the first view makes things look much different from subsequent angles, but the more I saw it, the more I wondered what that guy was thinking.

All sarcasm aside, I’d sure like to hear the convoluted logic of the genius who still voted Tejas #1. And which mental asylum he escaped from.

Based on their offensive output, I’m assuming that was the only time Mr. Freeney blocked something all season.

/tip your waitress

1. We’ll never know, as Paterno “delegated” anything that has to do with real coaching type activities several years ago. They’ve got a couple of good coordinators though.

I understand the excitement and all, but I have to be honest. That Spikes tackle was just a nice form tackle on a 205 pound tailback who didn’t even have his momentum up yet. It’s a nice tackle and all, but it’s not like he laid a concussion on Jim Brown in the open field. This is almost as overrated as Moreno jumping over that Central Michigan defender.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be perusing the latest issue of “Coach of Fortune” magazine and dreaming of Bill Cowher.

I would rather be Spike’d for the rest of the workday than Wannstache’d again.

Well, now that the Great/Grand Pumpkin had his part on the Treehouse of Horror last night, the highest point in his life since the 1998 season, UT has decided to let him go at the end of the year.

I notice that Florida also got one first place vote in the Harris Poll.

Which reminds me, I owe Hank another carton of Kool Lights.

@11

in all honestly, I think that the absolute value of Georgia sucking is greater than Florida’s awesomeness. And trust me, after this weekend, I am a goddamn Rhodes scholar in evaluating suckology.

“honesty” that is

Well it’s official. Fulmer’s out.

Damn that was an awesome hit…

No way both TT and Bama finish out undefeated. Not going to happen.

I wish we could throw out the records, the media bias, and all the other crap that influences college football and just have USC and Florida play for the NC.

To a man, we all know those two teams are playing the best. Sure they both have conference losses to conference bottom feeders, who cares, just look at how they are playing right now.

I think USC vs. Florida gives us our best match up for the NC.

/ Side Note Dept:
The SEC West is terrible this year: Ole Miss lost to Wake Forest, Miss State lost to La Tech and GT, Auburn was blown out by West Virginia, and Arkansas was blown out by Texas and had to come back in the 4th to beat 2 form division 2 teams. LSU has been blown out twice.

That leaves Alabama – sitting pretty – with a new coach in his second year – which we all know about the 2nd year coach magic. Clemson is 4-4 and fired their coach and Georgia just got blown the f’ out by Florida.

How again does Alabama’s schedule and results look THAT much better than Penn State’s? If it’s better, it’s not by much.

TAFKastOSUB… what will you say if bama beats fla in the sec championship game and then embarasses penn state?…USC is better?

Anyone who thinks Georgia beat themselves or lost the game could not have seen the game. We were crushed. CRUSHED!

The young conservatives at Texas A&M forgot the “make a paper airplane out of a forged birth certificate and try to make it land on the island of Hawaii after being tossed from Kenya” contest. Very difficult….decisions, decisions….do I toss it over the Atlantic Ocean, over one of the poles (that’s North or South Pole, not some people standing on the map on Poland), or my personal route of choice, over the Indian Ocean….

@17: If you just haven’t been paying attention, that’s fine. A tip, though: don’t simply believe everything you read or hear.

I’m seeing it now: PSU WILL get into the MNCG, and ease by (insert team here), who will immediately say “But, but…..we shouldn’t have had to play these bozos. They were too slow, and their uniforms suck. We’ll kick their ass in a rematch!”.

Happens every bowl game.

How about showing the clip of Brandon Spikes diving like an Argentinian pre-madonna soccer player after getting blocked into the quarterback by Moreno? I thought I had turned the channel to the Fox Soccer Channel and was watching a clip of Diego Maradona taking another swan-dive after no contact. Nope, just watching Brandon Spikes trying to draw a flag.

Damn it, still fuming. Anyone seen the Bulldog team yet? They get kidnapped before the game there in Jackson-hole?!

The “Florida deserves it more” meme is a load of crap:

Ole Miss is a #30 team by Sagarin; Penn State destroyed a much better Oregon State team at home; and Florida’s best road win is equivalent to Penn State’s, although with a bigger margin.
