CURIOUS INDEX, 9/15/09

Three were gored on their cell phones during falls. Maybe a stampede for open seating isn't such an awesome idea anyway. Someone might fall, and then they might be hurt in the process. We wouldn't want any of that.

Or maybe that's EVERYTHING WE EVER WANTED IN A VIDEO AND MORE. Oh, people falling on metal and concrete. Don't ever stop being funny. (HT: Keo)

You give the Ginger Ninja your best, and he multiplies yours times Ninja power and wins. Ginger Ninja notes your performance. Is performance of life, Stephen Garcia! Congratulations, but Ginger Ninja sees your moves telegraphed several beats ahead, and tops yours. In this manner the Ninja goes from victory to victory, unless he is playing a competent defense, and then NINJA DISAPPEAR!!! [/cloud of smoke]

Various Hawkins get our vote. The contest for this week's Big 12 Cob of the Week is really no contest, since it has to go to crapulent Colorado and Dan Hawkins' management of the franchise as a whole. Toledo! It's a punchline to itself, or it would be if you hadn't watched Aaron Opelt run a quarterback draw for a long TD through the entire defense, topping a performance so stunning it had the referees stroking out on the field.

Just put sponges in the turf. Bleed for your team, Gator fans. Or just wring Jonathan Crompton out over a large pot after a good tenderizing Saturday. /ohgodpleasedon'tbethesecondcomingofBrandonCox

14.7 yards a carry. That is Jeff Demps' per carry average for the season at this point. Early season stats are fun!

I’m guessing that the blood drive sponsors and volunteers would prefer that the donors refrain from imbibing alcohol beforehand, unless of course they’re looking for that most elusive and rare blood type, “Type Rebel-Yell Positive”. If so, I’ll be at a tailgate by the tennis complex you can come and get the phenotype, after say 8:30am.

I thought the title of “The new Brandon Cox” went to Jevan Snead last year. Crompton could still be impressive if Kiffykins lines them up in 5-wide sets and tells him to only throw at Wondy, who will inexplicably be 40 yards off the line of scrimmage.

Wondy is still on the team? Wasn’t he here during the Galen Hall era?

So are we going to get one of those Orson v. Holly insult posts this week or what?

FWIW, I think the addition of Shane Matthews to the broadcast booth as a guest for this game, gives Urban Meyer one more target since he banned Shane from Gatorland……

That’s an unfair shot at Brandon Cox.

C’mon, what did B Cox ever do you? (What? Twice? Seriously?) Nevermind.

Dan Hawkins biggest contribution to college football will be convincing Chris Peterson to stay at Boise St. Seeing Hawkins at CU, especially after the failed Dirk Koetter experiment at ASU, has probably convinced Peterson to never leave Potatoland.

From Dan Hawkins Wiki page….

Hawkins earned national attention in February 2007 during the National Signing Day press conference. He passionately expressed his disappointment in the attitude of a player’s parent who had complained about the reduction in the players’ time off before the summer condition program started, famously saying “It’s Division I football! It’s the Big 12! It ain’t intramurals!”. 4 There is current rumor that he will be fired in the near future due to current poor decisions and bad coaching.

Remember when Miami and Florida St. had a nice fun offensive game that overshadowed the ugly mistake-fest that was South Carolina and NC St. and multiple people defended South Carolina and NC St. as having excellent defenses that were holding competent offenses in check?

Yeah, not so much. Georgia sure did prefer playing South Carolina’s defense over the Oklahoma St. defense. And that Oklahoma St. D is quite crappy.

Sometimes an ugly mistake-fest between two apparently crappy teams is just that. Two crappy teams.
