CURIOUS INDEX, 1/14/09

Huge children versus little children. You know what we enjoy most about recruiting season? Besides the endless accusations of tampering, illegal benefits, and skullduggery on the part of all concerned? Why, the videos of prospects blowing up vastly inferior competition at the high school level, of course. That’s linebacker Jelani Jenkins, now deciding between Penn State and Florida. Jelani, if you happen to be reading this, please note the current temperature in Gainesville, FL: 44 degrees. Brr! My, that’s chilly. Not as chilly as the 9 degrees in State College, however. You might die walking in between classes in that kind of weather. Really, it’s a danger. Don’t bother to look it up, but we’re pretty sure you’d be risking your life if you went there. Thanks. Next Year I’ll Do…um..Better. Kyle Whittingham gets the AFCA Coach of the Year, and promises to do better than he did this year by going superundefeated. You don’t know what that is, but when you see it you’ll be amazed, and then still probably vote Utah somewhere other than number one. No, now let ME show you proper blocking technique. Two Westminster College football coaches fell four floors out of a hotel window while wrestling with each other. One is in critical condition, and the other is in fair condition. Both likely agree that falling four floors to the street hurts a lot, and that you don’t just bounce right up like Hancock like you think you would. Varsity Blues=documentary shot in real time. Auburn, trainers, painkillers, rehab, doctors, and a complete and utter legal ball of shit-firing hornets on their hands. Jim Harbaugh fears no moving van. Yet despite his lack of fear of anything, Jim Harbaugh will be staying put at Stanford, thus allaying fears he would interview for one of many NFL vacancies while still manning the well-cushioned captain’s lounge at the S.S. Stanford. NOW GO WASH YOUR FILTHY HANDS. |

Kinda funny how that Chaz Ramsey story – all of which occurred last Fall — runs right in the middle of recruiting season.
Was that a black helicopter that just buzzed my building?

Jelani – it’s a no-brainer. Wouldn’t you rather come to Florida and be annoited the next great lienbacker by God – er – Tim Tebow?
Just be careful and don’t take on Tebow in an Oklahoma drill. He’ll smite thee…

Oh, come on now, I’m sure Auburn can recover with the legendary recruiting prowess of Gene Chizik.
Oh, who am I kidding, put the popcorn in and enjoy the trainwreck.

Life was fun
Life was great
Til I made my big mistake
Oh no it’ll never happen to me
Life was short
And life was sweet
I was thinking as I hit the street
I could hardly beleve
I could scarcely conceive
But I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window

“You might die walking in between classes in that kind of weather. Really, it’s a danger.”
Yeah, if you do choose UF, just make sure you’re careful not to get shot by one of your teammates when your doing crazy stuff like “being in an apartment building”. Furthermore, if you do choose to go to Penn State make the stupid mistake of dying while walking to between classes, you’re much less likely to have your gas card stolen by one of your teammates–just food for thought…

orson, for jenkins, all you need to do is just show a picture of some of the women who attend florida(and that sweet erin andrews).
then show the pics of some of the “women” that roam the psu campus in winter (or lisa.salters). i went there for four years, and we are still severely deficient.
basically, show some tits.

I guess Chaz would have missed the meeting regarding the latest chop block techniques. Wasn’t he the one
that tried to end Glenn Dorsey’s career? Karma?

Lets see Chaz, whose rehab advice would you listen to………your SURGEON, or the University STAFF……..mmmmmmmm………who have,in all likelyhood, screwed your back up worse than when it was injured…….the advice of an attorney may be what you need. The “have you been hurt at work” type injury lawya……………….Wow, didnt know Hugh Nall was “east bound and down, loaded up and truckin’”, 10-4 Good Buddy, over and out, whats your 20?
Coach O laughs at your 4 storys, calls them “beginners”……..almost threw Noel Mazzone through a wall…..

That Ramsey story is bullshit. I wish that the Auburn trainers and medical staff were allowed to tell their side of the story. Nall is an idiot though, and he obviously mishandled the situation.

Mr. Ramsey:
I sincerely hope a young man in his position, witht talent and the ability to play and the good fortune to excel at something he enjoys, has the opportunity to fully recover and play again, be it at the Plains or elsewhere. I would never wish ill on anyone, especially someone who, by all indications, has paid quite a high price in pain for the gladiator lifestyle of a college football athlete…
Having said all that, this couldn’t be some sort of karmic retribution for that chop block on Dorsey, could it?

Auburn’s chop blocking career ended in the Chik-fil-a bowl in ‘07… not one penalty called against them in ‘08
We worked hard in the offseason learning the hynotism technique used here ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzu61QA_72I ) to ensure the refs are seeing just what we want them to see

AU’s chop blocking career ended? Not quite, though in your defense, you probly didn’t see that last one since most AU fans had either left the stadium or turned their TVs off at that point.
To paraphrase Cole Cubelic: “The block on dorsey was a mistake, Ziemba wasn’tsupposed to go high as everyone else on the line went low, and even the one in the peach bowl I can understand as a former offensive lineman, but there is no excuse for Ryan Pugh in the Iron Bowl. If I’m the coach, I am pulling him if I see that because he is lucky he didn’t hurt one of his team mates.”

Mark says:
Well karlhungus maybe you can karlenlightenus. Why would Auburn prohibit the transfer of a player with a genuine back injury who might not get on the field again? That is, until he started telling people that mattered exactly how they screwed his back up. Immediately rescinding those prohibitions against the Mississippi schools sure sounds like somebody didn’t do something right, yet you suggest the training staff handled this correctly. Maybe somebody also handed Tubbs a sheet of paper with only the words “Travis Carroll” written on it.
Also, it seems in about 4 months Nall got rid of Ramsey, Franklin, the 2008 season, Tuberville and the whole Mississippi Mafia. I guess in two years we will be told he was also the person who convinced Dye that Chizik was a good choice.

44 degrees in Gainesville? It is 83 degrees here in SoCal today. And you guys still wonder why Taylor Mays would stick around another year rather than risk being drafted by Detroit or Buffalo?

While I’m certainly a big fan of skullduggery, my favorite part of rakrootin’ season is the message board fanboys. Every school’s favorite recruiting site has these (well maybe not Idaho). There’s usually one or two guys who have all the “inside information” on the incoming class, and a legion of fanboys who hang on his every post. I enjoy posting random rumors of [insert your favorite 5-star stud 'soft' verbal player here] decommitting and watching the carnage.

Wait, a high school highlights video not set to gangsta rap or numetal? The actual sounds of fans cheering and players being hit?
