CURIOUS INDEX, 11/22/08

Don we now our compound fracture/Falalala(vomits) DeAndre Brown of Southern Miss experiences the butt end of the physics stick as force, malicious fortune, and fallible human flesh all tag team him in a single horrific instant. If you haven’t seen it, please note that it is disgusting and horrible and that if you watch it twice you are a very, very terrible person. (HT: FOTP.) Good news: clean break of the left tibia, full recovery predicted, and he gets out of spring practice. Oh, and Southern Miss ensures we get off to a wretched start in the bid to not buy Peter a ticket to Las Vegas by upsetting our pick Troy, who collapsed again late to give the Golden Eagles a 30-27 win in the New Orleans Bowl. This is despite having a linebacker named “Bear Woods” who did the crazy Lattimer facepaint thing, and who IS ACTUALLY NAMED BEAR FUCKING WOODS. (The “fucking” is just a nickname, but still.) Charlie Strong is wondering if he should switch resume templates. Ron English gets the head coaching job at Eastern Michigan, bringing the number of black head coaches in college football up to five. English also gets to leave the burning S.S. Kragthorpe, so he deserves points for both ambition and a well-developed sense of self-preservation. Charlie Strong is considering spraying his resumes with fresh-baked cookie smell. No one was harmed by flying metal. Boise State smashes their participation ring from the Hawaii Bowl as motivation for the Poinsettia Bowl. SUCK IT, HAWAII BOWL. Notre Dame, meanwhile, is a one point underdog in the Participation Bowl. Um…James……what are you talking about? “If you come from the back and they don’t see you, they’re totally defenseless, and they have nothing… Oh. You’re talking about a blindside hit. (Whew!) Get money, Brandon. Florida’s go-go-gadget linebacker files the paperwork for the NFL. When you mime Derrick Brooks on the field, you can do that. |

Yeah I watched it a couple to a few times.
But in my defense I’m a nurse who just got off of a 12 hr shift and I guess I just didn’t get my fix of horrific injuries, blood, and gore. Oh and football. Definately not enough football in the PICU.
Besides we never get to see it happen. That kinda shit always happens waaaaay before they get to the hospital. Sure theres some gore but it’s usually the nice and sterile kind and if not you may get shit, puke, piss, pus, blood, or snot on you. Fuckin snot.
Maybe I am a terrible person…

Ron English leaving the good ship Carr for the burning SS Kragthorpe was sketchy as choices go. Going to EMU may be the final act of career suicide. Maybe he never sold his house from his days at UM and will pocket the moving expenses.

Good luck ever getting an invite to the Hawaii Bowl again, Broncos! That said, I hope they FedExed the crumbled pieces to South Bend.

That Guy says:
Strong has to be the worst interviewer of all time. I really don’t understand it at this point, and can’t defend the schools who keep passing him over for less accomplished coaches (which defense would you have rather had this year – Auburn’s or Florida’s, Iowa St.?).
Sorry I forgot to be funny.

Hmmm I’m trying to decide which was worse. DeAndre Brown’s break or Patrick Edward’s (Houston Cougars) against Marshall.

The bottom of that ring smashing article says the Poinsettia Bowl is giving 6 complimentary tickets to each player. That’s a lot of 6-packs of High Life.

1.) There aren’t even rumors of Charlie Strong being interviewed for these jobs… who did he piss off? Is there a Bobby Lowder over ALL of college football that we don’t know about?
B.) “They didn’t all come from the back…” HA HA HA

Irwin Fletcher says:
Is Charlie even on record stating that he would like to be a head coach? Even if he’s interviewed for the spot a few times, doesn’t mean his heart’s into it.
Or is everyone presuming he wants to be a head coach some day?
I am sure there is a contingent of coaches that prefer to be coordinators “only” and not be in the spotlight like a head coach is, money/fame/ego be damned.
Not saying Charlie is one of them – I’m just asking.

Thanks for the video. It wasn’t messed up at all…
…and, I just puked up my morning Red Bull. Now I’ve got no energy in my system and I’m going to pass out. Good times.

Did anyone else watch L’ville’s last game against Rutgers? I don’t care if English is black, blue, or orange. I wouldn’t want him coaching my team. How the hell did he get any head coaching job?

I am also a terrible person. But I get to see this stuff when it happens (athletic training). Although I haven’t seen any compounds yet.

Kerwin4two says:
I remember reading a quote from Strong that he was not travelling for interviews. Basically, he said “If they want to interview me, they can come talk to me”. I think this is because he was jerked around some the last few years. Flying in to interviews just so programs could say they interviewed an African-American coach. So now, there may be a backlash against him. UF’s gain.

I was just about to ask the same thing. Maybe Strong positions himself into a Fisher/Muschamp situation and takes the reigns should Meyer split at some point, not a bad spot to be in i think. Not all head coaching gigs are actually worthwhile. Strong will get his shot, no doubt.

Bad resume? Nahhh, just the wrong choice of cologne. CS needs to go with “Flame” from Burger king – the body spray with a “hint of flame-broiled meat.”
What AD wouldn’t eat that up? Here’s Charlie’s new photo that’s going into his resume… http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/_Duhhh/bkstrong.jpg

C’mon, James Laurinaitis is a three year starter at Ohio State. You know he’s an expert at supplying the butt after our last four big games.

Tyrone Prothro thinks that Brown will recover nicely.
Prothro doesn’t use that cane because he thinks it looks pimp, btw.

It is too bad athletic directors like failed head coaches more than giving a first shot to respected coordinators. At least at programs worth coaching for.

Bear Woods is from Macclenny, FL; which is 8 miles from where I grew up in Baldwin, FL
….if you know anything about this area, you would not be surprised in the least that there’s someone named “Bear Woods” from there.
