CURIOUS INDEX, 11/24/08

"How'd you get that cut up on your head?" "FILM STUDY." Aggie Report brings their final video of the season, and it's a seven minute opus featuring Will Muschamp, Matthew McConoughey, and Mack Brown smoking out of a hookah. If you need anything more than this, you cannot be pleased.

I will be replacing the man who replaced...um, me. An icy chill, frost forming on the windows, the flickering of the lights...Bill Snyder! The dark mark! Read accounts of the numerous assistants who worked with Bill Snyder at K-State and, while generally laudatory about what the coach taught them, there's always a touch of "But I like to be less...robotic. And sometimes I like to sleep."

Kansas State will be paying $1.8 mil to get that chilly, robotic feeling back for a season at least until someone better comes along. Snyder is 69 and went 4-7 in his last season. Kansas State is making sound decisions and getting better every day. Yes.

No news link. Just a reminder that if you need a short-term payroll loan, you could ask Charlie Weis instead of bugging the pesky credit markets, because his contract only has another 372 years left on it.

Fired without 20 zillion dollar buyout: Joe Glenn, who had his moments, is gone at Wyoming...

...and Chuck Long is gone at San Diego State because he lost many games and did not counter it by winning.

Leach, staying put. And not just because Oklahoma kneecapped him and the rest of the Texas Tech team in Norman. He says he likes being in Lubbock! That means he'll never leave because he said it!

Clemson is Auburn with a lake.

Lubbock is Auburn with a desert.

@Beckitt, I have to give the nod to UGA on the butt-supply, for the reason that it was 2 games worth of butt rather than one spectacular butt-laden game.

Well, add in Notre Dame wonder-FAIL powers with Amish IT, well, you get what you get.

And it’s 1.8 mil per for 5 years for Zombie Bill Snyder. I guess he can put together a staff with the assembled wreckage of his coaching tree — Phil Bennett and Chuck Long are probably sending telegraphs right now to that old bastard.

And Bo Pelini is soooo looking forward to suckerpunching him next year at midfield.

Chuck Long had to be fired from San Diego State. He had that program so down that they couldn’t even beat Notre Dame this year.

Did anyone give Snyder a rundown of the importance of strength of schedule in today’s BCS before he agreed to this? Reportedly, KSU immediately began working their schedule for next year to pick up several out of conference games with notable powerhouses from the FCS (admittedly the meeting with Snyder to explain that D-1AA no longer exists was painful and lengthy).

No confirmation of the rumor that KSU has petitioned the Big 12 to drop to only 5 conference games, and allowing all wins vs. FCS to count towards bowl eligibility.

“they really brushed our teeth with their dicks” – classic!

@3 How about this….who provided more butt the season, UGA against Bama and UF, or Michigan against OSU and PSU?

Keep in mind, we’re not talking about how fast the butt moved, just how much there was of it, so the northern women are already at an advantage

it should read this season

I care nothing about either Texas or Texas A&M.
I’m not even sure why I clicked on that Aggie Report youtube clip. I must have slipped, fell, and hit the link by accident.
With all of that said, it was brilliant.
It had SEC speed.

It’s going to be really awkward when Snyder gets on the phone with Leavitt, Mangino, and the Stoops brothers and tries to offer them assistant coaching positions.

Now you know why Aggies aren’t well known in the creative world. Poor Ags. They have ONE men’s national championship in ANY sport and that was 1939.
Even then it was disputed. But hey, it is Aggie tradition.
