Around SBN: The End Of Sabanball: Details, Barbarians, And Precision

CURIOUS INDEX, 2/3/2009

If the real TNG had been like this we would have watched nothing else during the Bush 1 administration:

Alex Boone, chased down by a speed rusher no doubt. It could have been any number of speed rushing defensive ends who did it, or perhaps just a talented policeman bent on showing off his dominating flag football five-Mississippi pass rush. Either way, Ohio State offensive lineman Alex Boone was beaten around the corner and tasered as he hid beneath a patio after "an alleged drunken tirade." Sometimes, kids, "alleged" is just a formality when you're pulling ape-man-fiesta shit like this in a sleepy California burb on a Monday night:

When they arrived, the 6-foot-8, 312-pound tackle had been jumping on car hoods, yanking on a tow truck cable and trying to break a window, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.

Boone's BAC was three times the legal limit, a whopping .24 but nothing compared to his earlier self-confessed drunkfests. He was held overnight in the medical ward of the jail, or as we like to call it, "The Afterparty Zone." Boone was hoping to enter the NFL draft, and if he's fired up on Mexican insecticide-laden hooch as he was Monday night, few will be able to stop him from storming the combine and jamming a stopwatch up Roger Goodell's well-waxed asshole.

Points to be assessed shortly.

Petersen rejiggers. Chris Petersen shuffles around his staff in the first major multiperson changes on the staff since 2006. We'd insert a lame Boise joke about "ha! just trying to keep warm! BOISE IS COLD!", but it's 23 there, and 30 in Atlanta, and seriously go fuck yourself with a buttplug made of C4 and broken glass, winter.

Getting a Podolak. Kinnick Stadium will be "getting a Brazilian," as OPS puts it at Black Heart Gold Pants, but really, wouldn't getting Field Turf translate better to shaving off all of one's pubic hair, then pasting fake rubber and plastic hair back on it? The more appropriate term would be "Getting a Merkin," albeit a Merkin which may actually have the Iowa logo at midfield.

Now, one could do the Podolak: a femme-pelt cut into two mustache segments and then doused with the mid-range German Midwestern brew of your choice. Most Iowa fans would really like this, wethinks.

Dismissed! Preston Parker is dismissed, showing both that Bobby Bowden is no longer truly in charge at Florida State, and that Florida State will reload, but with non-lethal ammunition next year.

Points for Boone? I don’t think he is enrolled anymore…Style points, hell yes.

Pardon my ignorance, but how long is one eligible to represent their fine institution in the Fulmer Cup after their last season ends?

That video is even more absurd than every Dwight quote from this season of The Office…

And that’s just FSU being FSU… Dadgummit, Bobby!!

Somebody better wake Parker up and break the bad news.

What dudis41 said! Although .24 is impressive, I give that man a high five and as he goes for it he falls on his face. That had to be one of those nights when someone challenged him to do shit like run and jump trying to hit his head with his knee or see if he can roll on his stomach from his knees without hitting his face, and after he felt the pain of hitting his face on the floor turned his gorilla rage toward the parking lot.

Boone is ineligible, but his lifetime accomplishments in drinking coupled with the tasering could merit some bonus points.

Thanks Orson.

While he is ineligible for FC points, he did spend some future cash. Even if he lights up the combine, which is doubtful, his first contract will have lots of clauses. If he can catch on with a team that wants to take a chance (Bengals?).

The cops would never have needed the taser if they had just dressed like a UF DE. They would have run circles around him and made him so dizzy he would have fallen over. But then they would have to pick him up to put him in the paddywagon and lifting 320 pounds of dead weight isn’t easy. Pushing it apparently is though as he demonstrated for 4 years.

Was wondering the same thing. Boone’s eligibility is finished, but his accomplishments are still worthy. A Fulmer Cup Emeritus for sure.

As someone who stands 6’8" and weighs 315, one has to drink with some serious intent to get in to the mid-.2 range of BAC when you’re that size. This is me doffing my cap to you, Buckeye.

by Big Jon on Feb 3, 2009 10:04 AM EST reply actions  

It would take roughly a case (24) in 2 hours to get a fella that big to that BAC. So thats kind of a light day for him.

Boone once again shows his lack of killer instinct…A tough drinker would just take a syringe and hardline the alcohol (This an be done, I saw it on Motley Crue-Behind The Music)!

Parker was cut? I’m shocked.

I always figured the standard Bobby Bowden Treatment for Wayward Boys was sitting against MTSU and Furman. It worked so well in the past.

by Techie on Feb 3, 2009 11:19 AM EST reply actions  

FSU, yes, but Florida, more so, in recent years. Was it Derrick Harvey who blocked the field goal against South Carolina in ‘06, and sat out the following week’s game versus Western Carolina? The violation and decision to punish occurred before the South Carolina game, but Meyer thought it a better idea to bench whomever it was for the epic battle with the Catamounts or whatever SoCon school it was. Ryan Succop certainly appreciated Meyer’s handling of the situation.

Hence the “harsh,” running joke whenever any school other than Florida suspends or dismisses a player.

If they don’t already, all merkins should have the Hawkeye logo on them @ “midfield.”

Those of us in colder climes care to give a collective “whhhaaaaa” to our host for complaining about 30 degree weather? Nice way to tell off the season, though. If you’ve got a beef with a time of year, bring the A game.

by OhioDawg on Feb 3, 2009 11:52 AM EST reply actions  

Winter? It is 79 degrees here in SoCal today (77 with the wind chill). I’m sure the humanitarian considers this great recruiting weather.

by oc phil on Feb 3, 2009 12:36 PM EST reply actions  

Coop,
1) it was jarvis moss;
2) only so.car. fans believe there was some conspiracy to let him remain active for that game, vs. the reasonable assumption that the “celebration/snow skiing” in question occurred as a result of, and therefore, after, the greatest game of his career to that point (hello future Troy Smith. I am coming to sack you).
3) None of the foregoing changes your underlying point, which remains relatively sound.

Urban Meyer-hating sycophants seem to conveniently forget the suspension of that year’s best defensive lineman and, in my opinion, the 2nd best player on the team next to Reggie F’in Nelson … Marcus Thomas.

Marcus, by the way, was suspended for the SEC Championship Game and BCS Game (against mighty tOSU).

Kindof important contests, wouldn’t you say?

by DHC on Feb 3, 2009 3:28 PM EST reply actions  

17, Ltrain – do you have a link to something that affirms your #2? I’ve been in an argument with someone (a Domer daywalker) over that incident for a while.

by Brian O'Blivion on Feb 3, 2009 3:48 PM EST reply actions  

At least he put up a fight, unlike the Florida and LSU games.

That’s funny, and I’m a Buckeye.

by Poe McKnoe on Feb 3, 2009 5:57 PM EST reply actions  

Not offhand, I recall reading something the week after the game (and before the deluge of the conspiracy theory) about a post-game celebration, but it could have been this site for all I know. On the flip-side, I haven’t seen anything reliable to the contrary either, other than from south carolina biased opinionaters. First time I heard the pre-game theory was from a pal in grad school in Columbia, who has convinced by “the word round campus here.”
