CURIOUS INDEX, 4/2/2009

Dammit, I just bought her that bra.

Kudzu Telegraph = grapevine I presume?

Reasons to hate Myles “Due Process” Brand #3,907:

Use of the word “milieu” in response to a question about collegiate athletics.

Thanks for the AC/DC reference. Never would’ve seen that coming.

Speaking of tOSU, I’m surprised not to have read on here any, erm, commentary on Tressel’s apparent excitement over the Pistol or his visiting Tobacco Row schools for football tips [apparently not a joke].

Since I don’t think he posts tOSU updates for my benefit, though I appreciate them. I still believe Orson is a closet Buckeye at heart. He knows that if Florida falls into the ocean, he would have a team with a rabid fanbase to make fun of at his disposal in Columbus. We provide the fanbase with the most comedic potential outside of Alabama.

All of that said, if Terrelle Pryor gets hurt the season is a bust. Joe Bauserman is the backup. He is at tOSU without a scholly because the Pittsburgh Pirates are paying for his schooling. No team will depend on the fortunes of one player more than tOSU, not even Florida.

Perhaps the NCAA should look into other ways of increasing profitability (aren’t they a non-profit?) too. For example, cutting payroll would be a brilliant way of increasing cash flows. I can think of one person who could be eliminated that would save the NCAA a few million dollars, and would probably render a few PR people obsolete.

Please note I didn’t say fire or terminate. Some quickcrete and washtub would be far cheaper than a severance package.

I’ve got a Myles Brand idea. Let’s treat CFB players like NASCAR’s cars/drivers. We could paste all sorts of sponsors all over the jerseys and helmets. Think of the revenue possibilities.

Here’s a revenue-generating idea:

The NCAA could organize some sort of sanctioned playoff for college football and then sell the TV rights to the highest bidder.

YOU WON’T HAVE NATE LONGSHORE TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE.

YOU WON’T HAVE NATE LONGSHORE TO KICK AROUND ANYMORE.

You think they don’t already have “Team Kevin” and “Team Brock” shirts ready to go? Cal 2009 = Washington Redskins 1973-present.

@6

That’s no doubt a scary proposition for a team whose QB likes to use his feet every once in a while.

#11, I eagerly await Brock’s first game that way “Brock Samson” shirts may be sold.

GO BEARS!

Jeez, now I’m tempted to bring the old Marvel Civil War “I’m With [blank]” template out of the mothballs for Riley.

Jesus, I’m going to be so fucking pissed if it turns out the Armed Forces Bowl and the first 75 or so snaps of the Oregon State game were flukes.

I’m still pissed about the Sugar Bowl. Can’t get too excited about somebody who couldn’t beat out JPW after the 2007 debacle. Now that we have some new guys on the line, if we can’t run the ball, or have time to pass, it wont be fun…… we have a decent defense to say the least, many ugly low scoring win-by-a-field-goal type games ahead…… but as far as scoring points goes, it looks like the VT game will be 6-3. What we need is the young, svelte Elvis team that beat Georgia, not the fat, drunk and bloated Elvis team that keeled over in the Superdome bathroom after kickoff.
