CURIOUS INDEX, 12/23/08

Up and at ’em early, huh? Too much Red Bull?

I was feeling kinda meh about the whole Outback Bowl thing until I watched that video. Now I want to run through a wall and throw a school bus at a nuclear reactor.

For reals. If you’re going to use a song named “Slam,” got with Onyx version. You can even use the remix they did with Biohazard to get the white guys involved.

I understand that Garcia is making local robocalls to sell tickets in the greater Tampa area or to Gamecock Club members. One of the two.

Either way, there is fucktarded and then there is SCar’s marketing efforts.

But we OWN the Outback Bowl! Bwahahahaha!

/Can’t even get excited for it.
// 11 AM is much to early on New Year’s Day for anything.

If you read the entire Herrera interview, he sounds like a stand-up guy who worked hard to get where he is. Makes you wonder about Fulmer in light of that.

That song remains hideous, no matter how many times it’s played. It makes Manheim Steamroller sound righteous by comparison.

And fuck McCartney for trying to present his wife as a member of the band.

“Yes dear, you can stand in the corner and play the tambourine. No, you look really cool, really rock and roll. Of course, of course, we’re using Eastman/Kodak film to shoot the video.”

Beatles are overrated anyway. I still take Zeppelin any day of the week.

I’ll take a hockey player over a football player every day of the week in a FAIR fight…ie…1 on 1, 2 on 2, etc.

2 on 1, that’s pretty chicken sh!t, even if they were dressed like Jehovah Witnesses.

Anthony Herrara will be the Grand Marshall for Bama’s 2009 Homecoming Parade.

@7, Clarence Clemons is STILL pissed Patty Scalfa is in the E Street Band.

You get used to the early Outback bowl time, by the time the shakes and the vomiting stop, you’re halfway into the 3rd quarter.

At least this year I can sleep it off in peace

Re: the Pendulum vid; Who knew Fulmer had such mad dancin’ skillz?

But whats really gonna stick in the craw of most Sakerlina fans is that their nemesis Tammy Bowden gets to speak at the Outback Bowl FCA dinner.

First get beat by Florida, then thumped by Clemson’s WR coach, then get to hear Clemson’s ex-coach who was 7-2 against you….

You could have all kinds of fun with Angry OT God with Spurrier on that one.

For what it’s worth, Harris, we like the non-Biohazard version when you’re not looking.

Did someone say it’s rolling? I’m here to help.

Orson, didn’t TCOAN say that playing that McCartney song in the house would cause a termination of marital relations? No wonder you’ve been waiting all year to unleash it on us.

That said, I’m choking back a tear – remove the moog and the formality of drinking in a pub, and that’s remarkably like the family Christmases we had when I was but a little DC Trojan, back in the old country. (sighs)

Steve Spurrier cares not about your piddling Outback Bowl (the name of which, apropos of nothing, contains both a U and a T). Upon landing in Tampa, Steve Spurrier will spend every moment until 1:00 EST Sunday combing his hotel phone book for former ’76 Bucs that he can invite to his room. At the stated time, they will watch a pathetic Packers team defeat a ghastly Lions team to send the Detroiters to 0-16. This, combined with the impending auto “bail-out” will prompt self-important sportswriters who know nothing about public policy or economics to authoritatively declare that Detroit is beyond the point of no return and that only Obama Claus can save us. That last sentence is of no concern to the Old Ball Coach; he will take his old Bucs teammates (and maybe Casper Brinkley) down to Mons Venus where they will experience redemption in the form of Cristal, ice licking, and champagne room indiscretions that would cause Mike Price to recoil in horror.

No language in human history has had words strong enough to describe how fucking horrible that song is. Jesus Christ.

That Herrera quote is weird. He’s said stuff like that before, too.

There were dozens of players who came out in support of Fulmer last year and this year when fans were calling for his head. One letter in particular written to the Knoxville paper had dozens of signatures from former players on it. I want to say it was more than 80, and may have even been over 100, but I’m not sure of the exact number.

I went to high school with a former UT player. He came back and talked to us in the locker room one day when he was a freshman and I was still in HS, he said that Fulmer had lied to him while he was being recruited. Telling him how he had an opportunity to start as a freshman when it wasn’t true, but isn’t that how it always is? The strange thing is that Herrera played in every game as a freshman and started most of his career at UT.

Just seems like if Fulmer was a huge douche to all his players, that it would have come to everybody’s attention like 15 years ago.

Y’know, if Orson is going to throw that McCartney hideousness at us, the least he can do is post a clip of The Pogues’ legendary “Fairytale of New York” right alongside of it to balance it out.

Come on, man, it’s the holidays!
