CURIOUS INDEX, 9/4/2009

well, doesnt that make LSU fans looks awesome.

Can someone get a memo to all ADs asking them to tell the football players that they don’t get the right to do a war dance after tackling someone after a 3 yard gain in a game that is going to end up being a 7-3 bore-fest?

I don’t care if they’re neighbors, the South Carolina-NCState football game just doesn’t justify jumping and pumping…particularly in the 1st quarter.

…and keep those kids off my lawn!

[/channeling my inner Dantonio]

I’m not really surprised by that statement. In fact if it didn’t come from a drunk 75 year old woman I would be at a loss…

Here’s another gem from the comments:
“also…if you run ya mouth..you are open to get it closed "
uhhhhhhh what?

We like to think it’s typed by Hoyt’s momma from True Blood.

Got this text late last night from my cousin Coach Puffin Cockfight: “blunt pounches like a puss.”

That NC State-South Carolina ACC-style offensive partial-birth abortion made me long for the quaint novelty of an Auburn-Mississippi State 3-2 suckfest.

Also, death by drinking antifreeze. That too.

Am i the only one that thinkas Hout should also eat a one game suspension out of this deal? If you watch the video Hout comes up, shoves Blunt and says something. A Boise State couch is already moving to grab Hout and pull him out of there before the punch gets thrown.

This is not to say that this in anyway excuses what Blount did, Blount should eat a much long suspension, assuming he doesn’t get kicked off the team by a pissed off head coach. You just don’t punch the other player no matter how big of a dick he’s being.

The best thing I’ve heard all morning, while driving in to class, was that the punishment for such an offense should only be ONE game. I love my local sports guys, but seriously? ONE GAME?

I was just thinking about Hout and realized he probably shouldn’t get a formal suspension, though the coach might do it anyway for other useful team-related reasons. I think that way because his actions would be equivalent to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, whereas Blount’s would be like an ejection. They both occurred after the game but I think the comparison fits.

I never really followed Florida in the preseason the last few years. Is there any cause for concern that they might lose a few wide receivers here for the season, or does that kind of stuff always happen to one or two offensive/defensive units at the beginning of the year on every team?

I am an LSU fan and I would like nothing more than that jackrod to get a Thursday Night Blunt Special right in the puss.

Speaking of Blunt, multiple game suspension at the very least. The same for Carolina and NC State. Jeebus that
 was awful

Considering that Blount is projected to run for -60 yards this season, they might actually want to kick him off the team

Thank goodness for Steve Croomurrier he has a hell of a defensive coordinator. Ellis Johnson is the only reason MSU went to a bowl (MSU went to a bowl game???) in 2007.

@9: Good point. You shouldn’t get suspended for talking smack (especially when you’re returning the favor to a guy who talked all kinds of smack before the game and then rushed for negative yards and negative points). And I don’t care if he insulted Blount’s mother, you don’t fucking punch a guy on the football field, especially when you’re wearing a helmet and thus protected from possible retaliation and the other guy is not. Half season minimum (mostly because he has a history of off-field trouble, apparently).

“slagshit awful”

I need to remember this gem

I’d say MMA is in the future for Mr. Blount, considering that he folded Hout up without even cocking/loading.

While I do not deny that LSU unfortunately has “fans” with such ignorant opinions (as does every team), something seems a little fishy to me here. So many references to LSU in such an ignorant post makes me suspect that someone is stirring up trouble at LSU’s expense.

At any rate, apologies from the real LSU fans.

As an African American, I always scratch my head at white fans who are quick to call someone a n*gger, and then roots for a team that has African Americans playing key roles on their team. They say racism is irrational, and I guess that proves it.

Go Bears!

1. - There is usually at least 2 losses – last year was starting safety, which wasn’t a problem because there was and is a logjam of talent back there. Starting TE Ingram goint out was a bit unsettling, until Hernandez proved he was more than capable. This year, it is unsettling because it keeps happening at a position that was really the main “weakness” coming into the year. The young talent can catch, but it is the blocking assignments downfield that make this offense go, and frosh usually have trouble with that….

I think Dana Bible & the Oregon OC must have been tweeting each other all night. How else can one explain such crap, unless Woody McCorvey was hired as a consultant by the Ducks to restructure their offense.

Thanks 18, the blocking is a good point.

timmay agrees with tim. in retrospect, hout’s actions are probably comparable to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

but his coach should suspend him a game.

oregon should suspend blount indefinitely. he can still practice. but he has to attend all classes with perfect attendance and complete an anger management counseling course. after that, they can lift the suspension and he might be able to play the last few games.

and my friend’s are asian kids pretending to be rednecks and gangstas.

“Now if the Wolfpack would quit trying to run the clock out, starting in the first quarter….”

Absolutely priceless! Many coacktails to you. No pun intended.
