CURIOUS INDEX, 11/7/08

TCU chokes on the pork rind of opportunity. TCU gave up an 80 yardish drive, gave up a touchdown to Utah late, and coughed up not only another chance to crash the BCS, but also a shot at the Mountain West title. This hurts especially because of the co-ownership of the 2008 Pac-10 they would have gotten, as well. The deed to the Song Girls goes to Utah; use them well. The final drive may be seen below. Brian Johnson looks brilliant, and he should, as he looked like a plate of cold ass for most of the game. Your fate is in the hands of San Diego State you sir are dead. Boise State’s BCS hopes took pipe last night, as they now need help from BYU or San Diego State to get into the rotation. Connoisseurs of fat, come forward. One of the more entertaining internet quizzes you’ll take…um…today, at least. Number 10’s profile is unmistakable; the rest are difficult. Drew Weatherford is getting bitchmade. Drew Weatherford respects the coaches’ decision to bench him, but he doesn’t, because he still thinks he deserves to be starter. (If you’d like to do your best Drew Weatherford impression, take a snap from center, run ten yards to your right in a dead panic sprint, and then throw into double coverage.) Also, Florida State has three players suspended for the weekend. Woo. “Son, we don’t like how you didn’t wear a tie.” Mike Leach may be on Tennessee’s short list, but do not count on him making it as a finalist. Leach has interviewed at other jobs before, and it inevitably ends when Leach acts as Leach does and the suits in the room begin to hesitate about giving someone that interesting the reins to their multimillion dollar enterprise. If there’s one place with an allergy to weird, it’s Tennessee. Unpleated pants are probably cause for being pulled over there. |

Am I the only one that thinks Leach at Tennessee would go about as well as Auburn’s spread eagle offense? Theres this ‘throwing’ thing his teams do that just seems way out of place in a conference that wants every game to be a hammer fight…
Plus, hes perfect for a crazy town like Lubbock. He offsets the Bobby Knight angry-crazy with quirky-crazy…. theres perfect harmony.

Unfortunately, only one player at a time will share the Song Girls.

Brian Johnson is definitely one of those guys who has been at a school for 8 years. It seems as though he has been QB’ing Utah since Alex Smith. Actually, he has been.
I, too, not surprisingly, support Dantonio’s requirement for ties, and I hope Michigan State wreaks havoc on the Big 10, henceforth. Go Sparty, go proper attire.

As with Pete Carroll and USC, I really don’t think there’s a better school-coach match than Mike Leach and Texas Tech. Though, I’d love to see if Leach could get Clemson over their never-ending hump.

Big 12 AD’s….just get it out out of the way and give all your head coaches a million dollar a year raise. And just where Tech can moor Leach’s pirate ship (complete with working twelve pound cannon) in Lubbock is beyond me, but it will happen.

Possibly the only thing better than a humiliating TCU loss to Utah actually happened: a stultifyingly boring, poorly played game where Utah won, but both teams looked like a fraud sandwich with a side of french fried turd.
Now I can break out my giant (think game show presentation size) voided BCS check made out to TCU again. Ha, ha, TCU. Have fun in the Armed Services bowl — at least you’ll have a home crowd.

I think Leach should ask TT to build him a pirate ship in the endzone ala the Bucs.

As much as I would want Leach to coach my team, I think he is right where he needs to be. I would hate to see him go into an environment that would oppress his quirkiness out of fear of scaring off big boosters.

Tom Cable looks like he’s contemplating eating the football in that picture. Given the Raiders’ performance, he may be thinking to himself “So what is this? What do I do with it? Do I eat it?”
And yes, I’m a Raiders fan, it sucks.

#8: Great description of the game and the teams involved.
The referees should review pass interference though.
TCU’s teams appear more choke artist than anything else, and the offense is just plain terrible.

The fat quiz was difficult. I got two without any clues – Mangino and the Fridge, which were probably the easiest of them.
I love the sweat (?) stains on Fulmer’s shirt in that pic.
