CURIOUS INDEX, 2/24/09

NFL Offenses Win Games. Just Like Syracuse and Nebraska. Tell Peter it's not really fair to put the developmentally disabled on display for comic effect.

PUT ALL YOUR MONEY ON IT AND MARK IT DOWN: TEXAS A&M NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 2009.

From the Fulmer Cup Processing Station. We blame the twin delays of vacation and translating it from the original Hawaiian (Jesus, do you people have a comma mine somewhere out there?), but should charges hold this will amount to tremendous points for Hawaii in a Fulmer Cupdate later today. Hawaii football: kinda rapey, a bit behind in the fiscal department, and already begging you to come out and throw some bottles at opponents. Um, cheer.

People have a poor understanding of basic genetics. Scout lauds his "good bloodlines," a plaudit that in every other discipline on earth was dismissed along with "properly aligned bumps on the skull" and "well-balanced humors" as an explanation for anything. Sports will soldier on in the early 1900s, though, as Nick Montana, an otherwise respectable and sound recruit, now gets an offer from Alabama, and this all cannot possibly have anything to do with his name being "Montana."

Further glossy genius. Smart Football on pressing the far edges of risk in football. It's typically brilliant stuff, though we'd follow up the commenters on the site by reiterating the points that a.) Spurrier's offenses didn't even push the far end of that graph with top talent, as Spurrier was not the most diligent of recruiters, and b.) those 90s defenses pre and post-Stoops were absolute butt in the hands of Bobby Pruett, [NAME REDACTED], and Jon "Gap Dangerous" Hoke, who never met a baffling zone blitz he didn't like.

Assorted varieties of relevance: Bob Stoops gets a little cap'n in him with a Texas Tech leftover, and my that sounded gayer than we thought it would. Stare at for ten minutes and your panties will evaporate, ladies. Sigh, sad pig news. Fuck scouts, who are generally as brainless as you'd like to think they are. Also from the Feldblog: Orson Charles is very, very attached to his jersey number, which is seven, which belonged to Cornelius Ingram, who is no longer at Florida, so why don't you just go ahead and take it, sir.

Yea, the possibility of genetic predisposition to a given task probably doesnt get passed on from father to son. What the hell are all those Horse breeders in Kentucky thinking anyways? And who do those Manning kids think they are, anyways? Phrenology scmenology, you sir, have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!

“so why don’t you just go ahead and take it, sir. "

Because Matthew Stafford’s no longer at Georgia and Lane Kiffin will give you any number you want, and your Grandma, too?

Brian—

If you’re willing to take that line, we have some excellent real estate in Mingovia to sell you.

Whoa…Anybody in here read Morse code? I think that aggie is blinking “Torture” while he rants….Damn Charlie to Hell!!

I wish I could be as mindlessly optimistic as the creepy skinhead. Living with a mental defect like that must be so rewarding.

I rather like “He doesn’t fog the mirror.” It’s right up there with “window licker” as a term for the retarded.

God, we’re terrible. Please excuse this, and know it is not representative of the clear-minded A&M fans. I want to set up some sort of clearinghouse for our fans that wish to post things on this whole internet thing, which really isn’t going to catch on.

As someone who follows UAB football enough to even get their conference affiliation right on the first try, I have to say I’m a lot more confident in the direction that the Blazers are heading in than the one the Aggies are heading in, and no, I can’t quite believe I just said that.

Austin Dave- I’m actually hoping it’s “Courage, Mom!”

Also: he confuses Michigan with Michigan State, which is irritating as all hell, but I suppose in this context it’s actually okay.

Didn’t that guy shoot his sergeant in Full Metal Jacket? Private Pyle, is that you??

When it comes to bloodlines I can’t help but think of Joey Unitas’ stellar career as a Gamecock.

Does Vince Young on steroids still throw like a girl?

by sonofsamford on Feb 24, 2009 10:38 AM EST reply actions  

I have to confess I found the line “He’s Vince Young on steroids…except he’s not on steroids” pretty funny. The rest was mostly sad.

2 more added to the processing station. 2 Virginia players for disturbing a charity dance and Wazzou for minor in possession after passing out in the back of a truck at the police station.

If you want to make outrageous claims I guess the best time to do it is a month or so after the previous season just ended. So, Vols win 14 games next year and beat mighty aTm, during which Smokey will Tennessee Waltz over and teabag the shit out of Reveille.

ESPN is wrong more often than they are right.

Well, at least he’s got that going for him.

Based on the background in that video and those cans on his head, I’m guessing he’s help desk somewhere, and recorded that after hours. Now you know why there’s so few help desks left in this country.

In a bind due to the current state of the economy, bet all of your money on A&M to win the National Title. It’s a fact!

When are you going to assess Fulmer Cup point for Florida’s Carl Johnson’s arrest last Monday? When are you going to do a story on what another one of your thugs has committed? WHy is he still on the team? Sweeping it under the rug as usual.

Good for Hawaii for at least suspending their thug while under investigation.

Good grief, dude, you wanna maybe sit a few plays out and recover your reading comprehension? His picture’s on there and everything.

I did not know the Amish were allowed to follow college football AND use a computer.

Are we sure #18 isn’t the same guy as in the A&M video?

That Eric Miller dude already won teh internets for his Carl Johnson comment. Sorry.

Wouldn’t his incredibly witting name be “McCoy Blows” then?

Good grief, I can’t think straight…“witty”…not “witting.”

This Montana’s actually a genuine national QB prospect — his younger brother, now a walk-on at Notre Dame, was a recruit two years ago and didn’t get anywhere near as much interest, despite the name. This one’s a genuine national prospect, though — apparently tOSU has told him that they’re not offering any other QBs until he either commits or eliminates them.

If you read Tebow Blows’ posts closely enough, you can almost make out the ARPs and jorts references hidden inside.

Oddly enough, “Eric Miller” has “not commented” since that fateful morning. I miss him already. COME BACK TO US, ERIC MILLER. YOU ENTERTAINED US FOR ALMOST FORTY-FIVE MINUTES AND FOR THAT YOU ARE VALUABLE.

“Scout lauds his ‘good bloodlines,’ a plaudit that in every other discipline on earth was dismissed along with ‘properly aligned bumps on the skull’ and ‘well-balanced humors’ as an explanation for anything.”

Of course you’d say that – you have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter.

Orson, the number 7 “belongs” to Danny. Cornelius Ingram, like the Bachelor before him, was just borrowing it for a while.

Holly,
Great job last week. We are all looking forward to Orson’s next vacation ;-)

@16… no, not at a help desk, that’s a professor’s office at A&M. no, the guy doesn’t have a PhD, but he’s on his way. Aggy let him in there and he’s doing a graduate degree in math. didn’t even go there undergrad. anyways, here is his profile page on aggy’s website – pretty funny. http://www.math.tamu.edu/~fiacolet/

Scouts may be brainless, but Kiper and McShay have great hair…that’s gotta count for something.
