CURIOUS INDEX, 9/22/2009

Chuckle. Am I the only Gator fan who is happy Kiffin is in the league? This is great theater. He is trying to be a poor man’s Steve Spurrier, but Spurrier would have NEVER been content with a 10 point loss….most winners aren’t. The worst part for Kiffin is he has about 5 more losable games on the schedule. Trash talking after a 1-2 start must be some sort of precedent……

I was at the A&M game Saturday night. The bugs came with a vengence in the 4th quarter. Not certain of the biblical implications, but the crowd was being dive-bombed with a relentless fury.
Now if Coach Sherman can get the Ags to play with the same sort of intensity…

Why doesn’t Tebow just heal his teammates. Wait, this is just a test of faith I bet. Man that Tim Tebow is so divine.

Did DickRod get that wristband at “Dusty Baker’s House of Fashion”?

You have to admit that Kiffin is winning the war at this point. He’s gotten Urban to bitch more than he needs to AND we’re still talking about TN on Tuesday. Big deal. Spurrier did shit like this when he was in G-vegas, and now that we’re on the receiving end, we’re bitching about it. Fucking man up. We’re the ones with the bullseye on our asses. Man the fuck up Gators.

BBS, I could not agree more. Let’s quit whining, Kiffin is good for the league. Tweak away Kiffikens! I love it, and his team played about as well as possible with a Crompton taking snaps.

College Station isn’t so much “on the plains” as it is “right by the swamp.” Or at least, that’s my memory of it. I was drunk before I got there.

"This offseason the commissioner made a big deal of renewing vows in terms of what we say about other teams, other coaches and other players" Kiffin said. "Obviously Urban feels he doesn’t need to follow that. We won’t say anything else."

… wait… wait wait wait…

So, Slive bitchslaps Kiffin… AGAIN… for criticizing other coaches. And, in his response to that… he criticizes the SAME COACH… AGAIN… and THEN says he’s going to drop it?

Seriously?

I mean, I know we’ve JOKED that Kiffin’s retarded… but is it possible that he REALLY IS?

Oh boy.

1. Kiffen fired the first salvo when he said they would beat FL and yada yada yada
2. No Gator coach or player said they would beat TN
3. All the talk about a blow out was from talking heads and pundits (cough cough bloggers cough cough) and some fans. None coming from the Heavener Complex.
4. UF beats TN
5. Check mate

@ 7

I wouldn’t say it’s so much swamp land. However, it is certainly not a desert like.

Randall Flagg – wasn’t that the coach of Florida a few years back?….the (name redacted guy)?

@11:

Phbbbt, we WISH. Soul-crushing evil would’ve been an upgrade.

What is college station?

@13:

If you’re serious, it’s a city in Texas. It’s where Texas A&M resides.

#13
Actually, its called Community College Station since Franchione…..(kickdrum, snare, cymbal crash)

Maybe if A&M’s stadium didn’t look like a tackle box, the bait wouldn’t swarm it.

I’m going to have to disagree with 5 & 6…Kiffin doesn’t know how to be a character…he’s just an idiot. I may be wrong, but Spurrier (the master of the art) managed to to tweak without calling other coaches liars. Kiffin is just a tool…and clearly has a hard on for Urban.

@14

Of course I’m serious. How would someone like myself who doesn’t live in Texas know about a little college town when that school has not been relevant in football in years? It’s not like he’s talking about a team I see playing in primetime.

Just realized why Spurrier was better at this…he was tweaking people he actually beat.

This little spat between Meyer and Kiffin will go on for a long time.

Then, after the 2012 game, they will throw away their inhibitions and finally share a full open mouth kiss in front of millions of television viewers.

After becoming life partners, they will adopt underdeveloped child Jonathan Crompton as a charity case. The family will struggle, but they will learn to love together.

@5: Kiffin is not Spurrier. Spurrier won a Heisman and an ACC Championship before he started jabbing SEC teams, and then Spurrier backed it up bigtime. Kiffin was born on third base and somehow thinks he hit a triple. Spurrier’s teams were about Spurrier’s own offense. Lane’s team is about his dad’s defense.

Kiffykins showed up to a gun fight with a fuckton of body armor and a water pistol, and is claiming victory because he was only shot in the chest twice. The body armor isn’t even his. It’s his father’s, he just borrowed it then started running his mouth.

I would love to see Tennessee lose every game for the rest of the season by the mundane score of 20-10. It serves Tennessee fans right for running Phil Fulmer out of town then refusing to hire any competent and instead taking “Head Coach: Oakland Raiders” as a qualification on the ol’ CV that nobody in their right mind would pass up. Which is probably fair, because dealing with Al Davis as your boss would have to prepare you for dealing with Tennessee’s boosters.

Just because you are a character doesn’t mean you have character

Nobody’s saying Kiffykins isn’t a buffoon.

But Urbs has won two national titles and is supposed to be THE MAN. Geez, let it go, Urb. Instead of confirming the Kiffykins is a loudmouth fricktard, it makes you look like w whiny d-bag.

21-

Kiffin was born on third base and somehow thinks he hit a triple.

That’s a nice little turn of phrase.

Think I’m going to steal that for some different applications.

Can’t help but wonder why Randall Flagg was causing a ruckus in College Station. Especially since he swears allegiance to the Crimson King, who now resides in Tuscaloosa.

@24:

What did Meyer do that wasn’t “letting it go”? Last I checked, it was Kiffin still talking shit and making it about him. Meyer said “They’re a good football team, we had a bunch of sick people, now let’s focus on the next game”. Kiffin was talking about how it was his brilliant plan which led to this (Never mind that, had Tebow not fumbled, it would be painfully obvious to everybody that, having lost our passing game for the week, we beat Tennessee WORSE than last year. Seriously, look up all the stats).

I hope his idea of keeping Jonathan Crompton the starter keeps him from winning the games his daddy’s defense keeps him close in. This is, honestly, the first time I can truly say there is NOTHING I like about that Head Coach of a Major Football program. NOTHING. Well, maybe Franchione….

Randall Flagg can’t be in College Station. He’s busy making his dreams of chaos in Boulder come true.

@27 (‘What did Meyer do that wasn’t "letting it go’?")

“…[Meyer] said that Tennessee’s apparent lack of interest in actually winning the game, as opposed to keeping it close, meshed perfectly with Florida playing conservatively. ‘It was unbelievable,’ he said of Tennessee’s ambivalent offense. ‘They were taking their time snapping the ball when they could go win the game. There was no two-minute drill.’”

@ 29 You do recognize the editorializing that’s going on in the blurb you posted, right? Focus solely on what Urban actually said and it’s simply an observation…that everyone saw…even the commentators discussed it at length during the game.

Dear Tim (@20),

Please see my inclosed invoice for $179 for my new PC monitor.
Sincerely,
Oregon Fan

(If that actually happened would Verne Lundquist’s head explode?)

Lets get real and do away with the pretense and phony handshakes after the game. Coach’s, if you feel wronged by your opponent, take your glove, slap that fucker across the face with it and drop it at his feet. If he picks it up… that shit is ON! If not, he is proven a pussy and your honor restored. This would be better than overtime and no one would bail on a blowout ever again, the stands would be packed until the very end.

Ron English learned the drive-by handshake from the master, Lloyd Carr. Now back to your regularly scheduled Kiffykin bashing.

I am looking forward to the post-TT years to see if Urb is as good a coach without the son of God at QB.

I love a good dog polka.

The ONLY thing I like about Kiffin is that I have a great betting strategy for the 3rd week of October…as Kiffin has proven his ability and desire to come into the game as a big underdog and beat the spread.

Kiffin is the only coach in the country right now that I really, really dislike.

 I’m an Auburn fan and I really thought Francionne was pretty good at the time…he used that “smoke read” or is it a “smoke draw” play successfully a whole lot before I saw everybody else running it and that was pretty cool. It was also nice of him to start the 7 game streak for us by helping bama bring in Price(My Favorite Bama Coach Of All Time).

Spurrier was/is great…I like him and always have…even when he embarassed Auburn, but especially when he gets really mad and throws his visor on the ground like in that epic Mississippi State game where they kept snapping it over the QB’s head.

Fulmer he was fat, but at least he one 1 national championship all on his own that helped start the SEC’s current 12 years of dominance. Who wouldn’t get lazy after a long run like he had. He simply wasn’t smart enough to move on with the times. His boss has to be a total idiot for hiring Kiffin…there is absolutely nothing about Kiffin that makes him a good fit…what about that head coach at Appalachian State? he would coach circles around Kiffin. Kiffin is going to be worse for UT than Gerry Dinardo was for LSU.

I am sure that UT has talent that is as good as Auburn if not better, this is going to make it so much fun to watch Kiffin lose this game in two weeks.

Compton is going to be injured pretty soon. No way he makes it through the season in one piece.

You could hear the crickets/locust/whatever coming through loud and clear on the Utah State boradcast of in College Station, it was a bit odd.

As a PSA to anyone who might have to deal with a cricket bombardment, girls with crickets in their hair who are freaking out do not appreciate someone yelling “SHOOT HER! SHOOT HER!” in an Australian accent a la Jurassic Park.
