CURIOUS INDEX, 4/10/09

Prepping realistically. Watch Iowa State offensive coordinator Tom Herman prep his team by quoting Yoda and saying, "It's 4th and 14, and we have to go 16 yards." Paul Rhoads: setting realistic situations for Iowa State in year one.

Good for you! If you want video of Leavitt running his 40, go here. Stay for the bit at the end where he's talking to USF students; from our own limited experience with him, Leavitt is like this every second of every day.

Mr. Meyer, Tear Down This Wall. The effects of the 'Canes being meh-centric for years on end may finally be adding up as the Miami-Dade wall begins to fall for Florida and other schools in the Flair Belt of South Florida.

Durham, out. UGA wideout Kris Durham is out for the season thanks to shoulder surgery. Meanwhile in Knoxville, Thursday was "terrible." Joel also wants to know why you can't get a decent batch of fries in DC, and we have the answer: because half the people eating steak in DC (at least) are doing it for show because that's what you're supposed to eat as a blackberry-destroying Alpha Dick on expense, not because they'd recognize good food if it crawled up their well-lubed ass with an earmark in hand. Just go to Ben's Chili Bowl next time, or some other place in DC mostly devoid of lizard people.

Yes, I'll take the job--wait, an assistant? Jon Gruden was offered a job on Oregon's staff when he visited in March. Kelly offered him the offensive coordinator spot to get him in the system and "to take a shot" at getting Gruden on board, but the Bucs coach turned him down, since he's free from the nagging wife of the Bucs job, and can now spend his days watching Lifetime for Men.

Iowa State Football 2009: “Be a Dancer!”

In defense of Coach Rhoads, his defense at Auburn spent last season watching an offense consistently go for 6 yards on 3rd and 8. I beleive he’s just got his coaches adding a buffer to make sure the math is correct.

Ben’s is a fine recommendation and further proof that Orson is in fact the downest ass white boy on the planet. The other suggestion for Joel is to stop behaving like the sort of corn-fed hillbilly who wears overalls with a shirt and tie and learn to eat like a goddamn adult on ocassion.

Damn, Harris, don’t hold back. Though to be honest, I feel similarly about drinking Diet Coke at 8 a.m. instead of a black coffee, so I’m not one to point fingers here.

Hey, now. Joel just wants some fries a la Steak Frites. Also, he’s like us, and from Tennessee. Dealing with the oustide world is a perpetual challenge for us.

He misquoted Yoda. I can’t decide if it’s sad or awesome I knew it once he said “In life”.

Joel — Ollie’s Trolley or Gordon Biersch. The fries at both places are pure crack.

Somehow, I don’t think my girlfriend would find Lifetime For Men interesting.

Fries in DC was the question, and no one recommended Five Guys Burgers to this poor soul?

For $10 he could have had a double cheeseburger & brown lunch bag filled with cajun fries.

Mmm…. fries…..

Dude’s eating a $36 steak and bitching because it didn’t come with a side of curly fries and a milkshake. Go to McDonald’s if you want a Happy Meal. I’m surprised he didn’t put ketchup on the filet and demand a Tarzan toy.

Interesting about Gruden. I thought we already had a Lifetime For Men though. It’s called porn.

+100 for any and all swipes at DC and lizard people. Well done.

Actually had a Gruden sighting Thursday at The Masters at Amen Corner. Dude’s pretty stout, actually. Even wearing a Masters hat.

Gruden is secretly fat. Not like Andy Reid fat, but he could stand to lose a pound or 30.

Some coaches get in your face and go Tenuta on you, some coaches awkwardly hit you on the ass and quote Yoda. Meet the new ’Clones, same as the old ’Clones…
