Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

CURIOUS INDEX, 2/13/2009

Run! Fire! With the announcement of the ACC's schedule this week comes two nasty bits of news. First, Miami and Florida State will frontload the Labor Day schedule, thus exciting oldsters who remember when this game was awesome and meant watching Bobby Bowden crap a kidney as his kicker marched out to miss a potential game-winning field goal. Aged harm-joy: it's the sweetest vintage.

The second is HOLY JEBUS look at Miami's first four games: at Florida State, Georgia Tech at home (The same team that ran for 400 plus yards on them last year,) at Virginia Tech, and then getting Oklahoma at home. 0-4 is a real possibility for Miami, who may be running from a smoke machine out of the tunnel, or who may be trying to escape the flames of their potentially catastrophic early season.

That's not Warren Sapp warming up the locker room RUN RUN RUN!!!

In that same Sentinel article, there's also the news that UM hired John Lovett, UNC special teams coach and assistant coach, to coach their defense, which will still receive intense scrutiny and coaching from Randy Shannon, most likely. Oh, and Brandon Marti, former 'Cane kicked off the team last year, was arrested for doing the white guy with dreads thing, which really is a 3rd degree felony of sorts all by itself.

Kirk Ferentz gets his butt kicked in...BY MAMMON. The new deal for Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz takes him through the age of sixty, making the contract a lifetime deal in effect. As a reminder: Iowa has had two coaches in the past 37 years. The new deal also includes incentives for assistant coaches based on performance yielding bonuses, which in turn would yield more Garbage Pail Kids for everyone.

Fix nothing but his joke telling skills. Scott Loeffler, new qb coach for Florida, plans nothing but tweaks for Tim Tebow. Matt Patchan may be protecting the Great Tadger Trimmer, as he has moved back to the offensive line after volunteering to move to defense for his freshman year.

MGoBeg. Give money to MGoBlog, or WLA will take it over and start the proletarian revolution, and you know what that means: let's shoot everyone with glasses or money or both. Given blog readership, that's pretty much all of you, so cough it up.

Bryce Brown: Taffy Seduction. Bryce Brown is leaning toward LSU, which he describes as "for real." Brigadoon University and other imaginary schools said to be heartbroken at the news.

Who did Miami piss off in the league office to get that conference schedule?

Miami has also announced that they are reducing season ticket prices….I guess they are hoping that at least a 100 more people will show up at games.

“The University of Miami athletic department is sensitive to the economic situation and will not raise season ticket prices,” athletic director Kirby Hocutt said. “We have decided to reduce prices in a significant number of sections at Dolphin Stadium to continue to grow our fan base.”

Of course the FSU game will be sold out (with probably more Noles than Canes at the game). OU travels well though I am not sure they want to return to the scene of the crime.

Can’t believe Bryce Brown doesn’t want to play for Urban. I guess its the whole values, team first, good citizen, student, earn your position thing that the Gators have going that is the big turn off. Would the gators also provide housing for the handler / call center manager?

Of course the FSU game will have more FSU/Tallahassee Community College fans. It’s at Tallahassee. It’s Friday. Sorry.

Over/Under on combined GT rushing yards and Randy Shannon “stern-faced, yet compassionate, but paradoxcially oblivious” camera shots:

732.

Told you Randy Shannon would not last. My thoughts on Tommy Bowden did not exactly fare as well, however.

However, the other 11 schools in the ACC are pissed that Shannon is in dead man walking status for the obvious reason that Miami might actually grow a pair, make a decent hire by throwing out decent money, and become relevant again. You know, like Clemson did not do in December.

I found the answer to the unified field theory in an ad below the Bryce Brown story that said, “Average Cleveland Browns IQ = 83”.

That explains the universe succinctly.

“other imaginary schools said to be heartbroken at the news.”

Yeah, Coach Snape from Hogwarts told me that they would have had him except for the meddling from his grandmother.

Orson,
 Good job exposing that whole “white guy with the dreads thing”. It really is a crime and just plain nasty.

#3.

It may be Championship flavored (yummy!), but that is still alot of fucking Kool-Aid. or sarcasm.

fwiw, I would guess the turn off is “Urban is the Mike Shanahan of CFB running back management” and Bryce likes his reps. As long as they aren’t in HS games where his team needs him.

by tbone on Feb 13, 2009 11:26 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

If LSWho is for real and Bryce goes there that paves the way for Oku to go to Aubarn thus screwing Kiffykins out of both backs.

Gotta say, rigth now I love them coonasses.

@2 hobeg8r: Memories of the MNC won’t stop us from traveling, particularly to play da U. We’re still nursing a grudge from the 80s, and even if that means beating up on Miami in a down year, we’ll take what we can get.

Westbrooke-

Just please rally the OU troops to keep the Boomer Sooner bar chant to under 356 for the weekend. I thought I was in a Norman Bizarro world for the title game.

Sorry I don’t have a link, but did anyone see the retraction by UT’s AD over Kiffypoo’s statements concerning firings? This guy is so full of shit..

Orson, here is an SI.com article on Hello KIffin. He sounds like a real ass.

Enjoy.

“Scott Loeffler, new qb coach for Florida, plans nothing but tweaks for Tim Tebow. "

How’d y’all think that Jeff Mullen’s “nothing but tweaks” thing worked out with Pat White and WVU last year?

@anton: Lost cause. Whose example are they more likely to follow? Mine or Billy Sims’? My apologies if you get caught in the swarm. But I think we at least tip well, don’t we?

by westbrooke on Feb 13, 2009 12:33 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Don’t know about the tipping. Was out drinking with some OU friends in from OKC. Couldn’t walk down Ocean without being Boomer’d.

However, I loved hearing his stories about pancaking a not yet switched over WR named Chase Daniel in his North Texas HS football days. Guess he was just the Pizza Dishwasher at that point.

by Anton on Feb 13, 2009 12:45 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I had to call Clemson’s away game in Miami as a loss just to give the U a victory, Randy Shannon really screwed himself over with this schedule. He should’ve attempted to back out of a couple of those games. Either they’re the surprise team of the year or he loses his job.

On top of that, hiring John Lovett as DC? C’mon. Lovett was the Clemson DC a few years ago and while his defense was never AWFUL, it was never great either.

And Bryce Brown, does anyone else see him as an NCAA Recruiting violation waiting to happen?

Here’s something fun I found though:

I don’t think Bryce Brown said “for real” he said “4 real”, then extended his arm outwards (to the right), bent his elbow, and reached back to his shoulder to form a “4”. It’s kind of a thing these days…

@3- A UF cookie bouquet was send to Brown to show him there were no hard feelings. It was charged to a dead girl’s credit card.

Whottsamatta U. isn’t in the running?

Coach Baddanoff and cheerleader Natasha must have been too busy chasing moose and squirrel.
