CURIOUS INDEX, 11/14/08

Well, that part was nice. Virginia Tech did their best imitation of having an offense again last night, but Miami's OMG WE TOLD YOU THEY WERE GOOD young rabid dog pack of a defensive line made life hell for Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor in Miami last night with six sacks and constant pressure in a 16-14 win. Only Jarrett Boykin stirred the collective erectile tissues of Hokie fans with this catch, which should be illegal in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Allen Bailey killed VT's last hope with a sack, just as he once killed an alligator with a shovel. Miami is 7-3, 4-2 in conference, and could make the title game, a massive accomplishment for Randy Shannon and company.

Senility, honesty...not necessarily mutually exclusive. Florida State will hold their own blackout just like the one that went so well for Georgia earlier this year, but at least Bobby Bowden's being very honest about the whole affair.

University officials like to say the Seminoles will wear black to offer tribute to the Seminole Tribe. But when asked about the jerseys earlier this week, Bowden's first thought offered perhaps the most honest explanation why FSU will dress in black.

"Really," he said, "we're doing it for Nike."

If you're going to whore that ass, stick it in car windows with pride. We know this from experience.

CWCID. We slag on SN commenters all the time, so perhaps we should give credit when it is so rarely due. In response to Hayes V. Hall this week, a USC fan offers his own reinvaluatation of the saturation, and we approve:

Personally, as a USC fan, I think we all agree that Charlie Weis is doing a great job and should continue his dynasty that he has built there.

Spite. Pure, burning spite. Gate 21 has the right formula for inspiring Tennessee to fight out the string in the burning crud-end of the Fulmer era.

To close out, people always talk about Tennessee being completely irrelevant. Well, there are ways to stay relevant, even at 3-6 with a lame-duck coach. One is losing to Wyoming. Other possibilities? Being Vanderbilt’s bowl-clinching, history-making, streak-breaking sixth win. Having the nation’s longest streak of ownage broken on your home field on the day to honor a coaching legend. Hello, 3-9…

Auburn should be reading this as well; in our conversations with Cuddles Swindle, Auburn alum and current man of constant sorrow for those exact reasons, the prospect of beating Alabama would be one of incalculable hilarity. As in, he drops the phone and we hear nothing but giggling for three minutes before he recovers and says "It'll never fucking happen."

He's such a clean young man. Lane Kiffin interviews at Clemson; also in the constellation are Bud Foster, Brett Venables, and Phil Fulmer. Block-C has the flight-aware on auto-refresh.

This should make ND supporters happy. It explains what we all have suspected. Please ND, let him caoch for the entire length of his contract.

FWIW-

Clempson, do the right thing and hire Danny with Venable as his DC for a year or two. Danny would sure as hell whip the players into line (running off 15-20 pussies in the process), placate 90% of IPTAY and fill the stands. Then let Venable have the reins.

It is a testament to the healing powers of Saban that I, a die-hard Bama fan, who lived for several years with a burning hatred for Fulmer, who I referred to as “Fatlock” because of his propensity for seeking out law breaking everywhere but in his own backyard, was a tiny bit sad to see this once powerful villain, end his coaching career on such a pitiful note.

We’ve won three of the last four. I would have liked for this to go on, but unfortunately the era of Saban kicking the crap of Fulmer has ended, all too soon.

That being said, the thought that Vandy could break their streak during Fulmer’s final season does warm my heart.

Go Commodores!

I think the flight tracker other Clemson fans are looking at is a red herring. Phillips will be smart enough now to not use the University plane. Today its going to Louisville but we know Foster is interviewing. Why they’d meet Foster in Louisville is beyond me.

They met Kiffin in Detroit, which makes you wonder about the Lions.

Texas has a bye after this weekend, I’m expecting us to interview Muschamp then.

Thanks for the link, Crabapple. Interesting story. It certainly appears like Notre Lame got the short end of the stick when Urban said “Thanks, but No Thanks” and they managed to land Cheeseburger Charlie. Maybe collective praying might help…

Why is Turner Gill’s name not popping up on the coaching radar? Am I an idiot or did I miss something?

by Gen. Stoopnagle on Nov 14, 2008 11:04 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

O, Is it the catch that should be outlawed, or stirring the VT fans’ erectile tissue? I’m so confused………..

Turner Gill will be a candidate somewhere very soon. Had Pelini not gone to Nebraska he’d probably be there already. Give him another year or so at Buffalo tops.

I’m not sure how well he’d fit at Clemson with that offense and that we beat his Nebraska team in 1982 Orange Bowl for the TItle.

The interview with Muschamp does not occur until after the A&M game, regardless of what that Augusta TV station reported, last night. He and Mack agree that it is in everyone’s best interests if they wait until the end of the regular season.

Until then, we are just killing time, losing to Duke on Sat and beating UVa and SCar…

No, the ultimate for Tennessee will come when Kentucky visits. UK has not beat Tennessee in TWENTY-FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS. Not once. Never. Having that streak snapped at Neyland to send Fulmer out on a losing note will be the low point from which UT can only rise.

UK will have more emotion, etc. than UT during that game, even though it’ll be Fulmer’s swan song. And I predict (as a UK hater) the Cats will win handily.

At this point, Eric Berry’s choice two years ago makes me very sad.

I don’t think Gill would be a candidate for Clemson, but there are several openings and I haven’t heard his name at all. The only thing I can think of is that Syracuse already has him wrapped up or something to make the move down the road.

Otherwise, I don’t get how a guy who has freaking Buffalo winning isn’t getting any attention when Brian Kelly’s name has popped up for at least UT. I think it’d be a lot less expensive to lure a guy out of a non-BCS league than from a weaker BCS league. But what the hell do I know?

Tennessee’s coaching search should be entertaining at the very least, and should adopt this song (NSFW) as their theme. Back it on up! The Brinks truck.

Fatlock?! Man, bama_buck, you’ve been holding out on us with an awesome nickname for Phulmer for far too long.

Orson, I thought you were going to say that Cuddles had become a man of constant sorrow as a result of his nuptials. Though I guess a losing season at Auburn is even more painful.

VT went from having so-so offenses to triple-digit-ranked offenses in 2006. VT hired a new QB coach, WR coach, and OL coach in the offseason prior to 2006. HMMMMMMMMM.

Not sure which was worse last night. Letting Sean Glennon run the option. Or letting the 3rd string RB run the ball on third down with no time outs left at the end of the game.
