CURIOUS INDEX, 2/12/09

You want input? I'LL SHOW YOU INPUT. Mike Bellotti, Oregon coach and chair of the NCAA Football Rule Committee, says the proposal to turn unsportsmanlike conduct penalties into dead ball fouls is not a formal proposal yet, and that he'll poll coaches to see if they support the move. He makes no mention of bloggers, but just in case he would like some, here it is re: his attempt to further refine the NCAA's rulebook.

Again, one simple hypothetical destroys this entire idea: Ron Cherry given another dial on the instrument panel of the high-tech bomber he and his crew noseplant into the ground every Saturday in the ACC. Ron Cherry: more options. THE PLANE WON'T EVEN MAKE IT OFF THE FUCKING GROUND.

NOOOOOOOOOOO[/colbert] The Quarterback for the Lover in You, Jabu Lovelace, suffered a setback with his injured ankle and had to have a second surgery on the joint he broke last season. Lovelace will be unable to compete for the starting job in spring, and plans to recuperate by going full-bore on his rehab, pondering the buds of spring while holding lilacs by an open window, and by thinking about nothing but having you to hold in his arms, girl.

Magic Jack 2: the Magic Jackening. The St Petersburg Bowl will see the return of its charter sponsor, MagicJack, the ultra-sketchy online phone operation for people who fear turning on a computer and downloading Skype. Initially there were reports the bowl would be sponsorless, but in case you did not hear the clarification, you may now step away from the noose and refrain from setting your home on fire. The world is on its proper axis.

Yes, come to daddy, yes. Orson Charles wants to line up at tight end and at wide receiver. Why, we do that at Florida? And would Urban Meyer recruit negatively? You bet your fucking ass cheeks he would Why, no? Why do you ask?

And yes......we did catch this, and will assess points later today.

Bellotti’s drunk for an ex-wife must have not taken all the booze with her. Or this may explain why no team should have more than two unis, home and away. Stop the dumbfuckery NOW! I want my old clock rules back too.

Ron Cherry, while a terrible ref, would be an all star in the worst officiated conference in CFB, the Big 10/11.

Let’s prevent this moronic rule change from being implemented and start a movement to get rid of instant replay! [running alone out the front door ala Bluto in Animal House]

Things worked out OK for Leonard Pope, but he didn’t have to worry about the Ginger Ninjer throwing to him.

With this rule change, we would have approximately 38 minutes of football and 22 minutes of Ron Cherry face time. If I actually rooted for a team in the ACC, I would have to kill myself. Actually, even without the rule change, if I actually rooted for a team in the ACC, killing myself would remain a viable option.

It should be noted that there are far worse officials in the ACC than Ron Cherry and his crew. If you watched the antics of Jack Childress and his hooligans on ESPN Thursday Nights, and featured the following mornings on Sportcenter, then you would cheer along with us when you pull Ron “Giving ’em the Business” Cherry for a game.

I am over O. Charles and his supposed “diligent search for the right fit”…frickin’ go to uga with your homey, Aaron. I don’t care. Florida has proven that they use a hybrid TE like you alot (see Aaron Hernandez, future all american), but you’d rather go to uga where they throw to their te approximately one time a game….enjoy, but just frickin’ go, I don’t care. I’m so fuckin’ over this shit…imagine, firing an asshole client, firing an asshole employee and reading this little fucker’s need to hear it personally from Mark Richt that they will change their offense to accomodate the wants and desires of a fuckin’ teenager, and all in one fuckin’ morning…I. Don’t. Fucking. Care.

Wow! That felt good…thanks.

Crabapple Buck – I think that Belotti may have reconciled with the Mrs and they are now back together again. I was very disappointed when he didn’t take the UCLA job because having Colleen loose about LA would have been splendid to say the least.
