CURIOUS INDEX, 4/23/2009

He'll stand in front of you, take the force of the blow. Jimmy Clausen says that Charlie Weis will not be fired because of him, per SN Today via the Fort Wayne Gazette.

In the story, Clausen says this: "I'm taking it personally. Coach Weis will not be fired because of me."

No. He will be fired because of the inability to win, or will do a forced resignation due to his health. You will be fired from something someday for wearing this jacket:

Pinkies up!

But you're saying football's safe. Oregon State's doomsday scenario for athletic finances does not include football, though Mike Riley says he's keenly aware of the need to win while football sits atop the budget pile. The school hopes to alleviate the situation through donations to the Beaver Athletic Fund, which would really start pulling some serious money if they just switched the first two words around there.

We like the cut of your jib, son. For a rather mild critique of starting qb Andy Dalton, TCU banned a student reporter from using a camera belonging to the Mountain West. Don't fuck with Dalton: the rule stands.

Having 10 signees in the bag early IS nice. Urban Meyer is just fine with the early signing period. Really. Totally cool with it despite not being so big on it early. No, nothing's changed. Why do you ask?

It's all about lung capacity. High altitude fog: does it exist? Answer: oh, you betcha.

A Massive Attack reference will always get a nod of respect from me. Good work.

Can I get an updated Fulmer Cup Board for Christ’s sake?

Clausen appears to have joined that fraternity that Zach was pledging during the middle school years of Saved By The Bell. You all remember that episode because there were only like 15 made, tops, which did not stop WGN from showing them every day, after school.

I think I caught a contact high just from looking at that CU photo.

Stephen Garcia wants to transfer to Boulder. Along with his little shoulder mate, Floating Matthew McConnaghey.

Does anyone know what it costs for someone to audit classes at Boulder?

- I believe the cost is $20 a bag.

Wow. A Massive Attack reference, a Road House reference and an OSU joke all together. It’s like doing the triple lutz in the modern pentathalon. Or something.

Meanwhile, in really breaking news, the Florida Senate just passed the Gator graveyard bill. If (when) reconciled with the House bill, it will allow all state universities to build columbariums to house ashes of alumni. So, Bobby could go from head coach at Bobby Bowden field right to the columbarium at Bobby Bowden Field. Some might even argue he’s halfway there right now.

Football’s safe in Beaver-land because football, (women’s) volleyball and men’s and women’s hoops are
needed to be a D1 school.

While the Clausen outfit is horrendous, credit must be given to the fact that it quite clearly is a joke he is in on. Unless you think that he and his less-pasty buddies all decided independently that torn t-shirts and red satin jackets was a good look.

I actually thought better of him after seeing this picture because it is clear he doesn’t take himself too seriously and isn’t afraid to look like an idiot for a laugh.
