CURIOUS INDEX, 10/23/09

Don't forget: it's Starkville, Jake. Shit happens, but it rains elephant dung sideways for Florida in Starkville, where Florida has not won since 1985. 3rd and 57 happens there, and Dan Mullen is willing to endure whatever travails he has to in order to make that happen again. Even if it means eating the savage food these people prepare for him without complaint. He said he went on such an intense monthlong speaking tour that at one point he ate catfish, hush puppies and cole slaw four consecutive meals. The sacrifices made in the name of Mississippi State football know no end, padawan. Brandon Spikes is about 50/50 with a groin injury to play on Saturday, effectively meaning the County Assessor stays on the sidelines for the Miss State game. Gulp. Do not feed them after midnight, either. Boise has very strict rules during its trip to Hawaii. First: they fly charter only, because commercials is for the poor peoplez. Second: they stay in Waikiki, where it's most ballingest. Third? "No one is to go into the water,'' said Viliami Tuivai, the director of football operations. Cause them oceans is mad dangerous, and the last thing the equipment manager wants to put on the pregame injury list is "Kellen Moore, QB, out (SHARKBITE)" Try 'splaining that to angry Hawaiian bookies, won't you? At least it's not a service academy. Notre Dame! Beefing up its schedule with Western Michigan! When are they going to nut up and play a real team? Charleston Southern is ready and waiting when you are, sirs, though this year's Boston College team could count depending on which offense shows up, with your choices being the ACC version (actually scores) and the non-ACC version (wallows around on the field and dies.) On further review both are equally spotty. Seriously, we're functioning on two cylinders at best this week. Apologies. Not good. Yeah, this? Not real promising regarding CTE and the possibility that even college players could suffer from it. Snitch, please. Witnesses in the Jasper Howard stabbing are being threatened online. |

Orson, I think you got those mixed up.

Now that ND is willing to schedule MAC teams, it is time for them to join the Big 10.

I never get tired of watching that video. Plus any from the beatdown we gave Shane Matthews 7-8 years earlier – perhaps the only esseeecee game in which The Visor did not score a TD.

wonderful! here’s to foreshadowing! (please, Tebow, don’t throw deep)
Maybe Mini-Lee and Company can keep the ball off the ground and make this a good one tomorrow!

According to the article police are holding johnny hood in connection with the stabbing of Howard.
A hoodlum named ‘Johnny Hood’ is strait outta comic noir.
+100 coctails to anyone who snitches on these rejects.

The internet simplifies everything: shopping, procuring music, accessing information, silencing wintesses, porn, finding people who share your penchant for dressing up like a cartoon fox for the purposes of sexual gratification. The list is endless.

I was at that MSU game in 2000. And the Ole Miss game in 2002. I hate that freaking state.

Gee, I’m late with giving Holly the greeting considering it is hate week:
Holly,
Hate you!!!

P.S.: Cote d’Ivoire, Liberia and Burkina Faso thank Bama in advance for the donation of protein-rich catfish nuggets from the graceful but terrifying impact of Terrence Cody atop you-know-who (or what).

The center there was David Jorgensen, my least favorite Gator ever. Coincidentally, I graduated with him. Anyway, he did it again in that game too. As I recall, he also bitched about not getting enough playing time during his 5th year senior campaign. What a team player.

I was at the MSU game in 2000 as well. Took my father – MSU 1949 – to the game. He rang that Cowbell all the way home.

I unfortunately live in Starkghanistan and I think they are ready for the Gayturds. The practice field lights have been on every night this week and there is a huge buzz in town…and I mean not like the one in every other SEC town before a big game…this is home of the most apathetic fans in the SEC, so that’s saying a lot. One good thing though is that if it is close in the 4th the crowd noise won’t be an issue because Bulldog fams WILL NOT stay the entire game even if it was raining malt liqour and ribs

At least we are not being subjected to the heinous 11 or 11:30 am CT start this year.
Yea!

UF’s football personality (for the last 19 years anyway) has been:
“I step up and play well for the big games, but the small games? Stop worryin’ about that. I got that shit under control… proceeds to get clunked in the head with a beer bottle when it turns around causing enough damage to miss work for the next several hours and days”

Catfish for only four straight meals? Amateur.
And I have a chunk of goalpost from that 2000 game. Good times.

Oh yeah.. Fuck Mississippi State for being a pussy football team but for some fucking reason deciding to play as hard as they fucking can when they play Florida. Fuck you guys! Accept your role, goddamn it!
That is all. Have a nice day/weekend. Come by the house someitme and we’ll have dinner.

Being away from home for as long as I have, I would kill for four straight meals of authentic catfish plates.

Thanks for bringing back my PTSD, Orson. I was in Starkvegas for that debacle. It took three years for the echo of “Who Let the Dogs Out” blaring over the PA to leave my ears. I knew from the coin flip (when the MSU won the toss and deferred and the Gators elected to kick!!!!!) that we were in for a long day.
by GatorinTX on Oct 23, 2009 11:26 AM EDT reply actions
And I’d like to thank YOU GatorinTX for reminding me of the blaring of that song and for putting it into my head for the rest of the day.
AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

We’re glad to accept our role as The Team That Got [NAME REDACTED] Fired. You should be happy about that as you won two nice trophies you probably would never have had with [NR].
And we subsequently have the best HC we’ve had since Darrell Royal.

Here’s ND’s schedule in its entirety. Doesn’t look extraordinarily weak or strong to me, really. Would Florida or Penn State be caught dead with a WMU, Tulsa, Utah non-conference schedule? Because the rest of the games are relatively long-standing series against solid programs, regardless of their current circumstances.
Western Michigan
Tulsa
Utah
Michigan State
Boston College
Navy
Southern California
Purdue
Michigan
Stanford
Pittsburgh

Not that it is related in anyway to this particular posting, but does anyone know how to permanently delete a youtube video if you aren’t the one who posted it? Just wanting to know for no reason at all. Honest.
PS I can still see that series in my head without having to watch that video.

“Now that ND is willing to schedule MAC teams, it is time for them to join the Big 10.”
ND played WMU twice during the Yost hiatus.

Orson, You might find this to be ample foder for another article. http://deadspin.com/5387216/from-d1-to-x+rated
Enjoy.

While WMU isn’t exactly a powerhouse and ND scheduling them should indeed be open to mocking, I suggest you take a quick read of your boy Dr. Saturday’s article about scheduling from last week: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Please-Michigan-don-t-let-this-blood-sport-hap?urn=ncaaf,196593
Notre Dame in only one of 4 schools currently that have never bought themselves a freebie win with a 1-AA team.

Two equipment managers got concussions in the post-game insanity.

you’re talking about having fried catfish, hush puppies, and cole slaw for 4 straight meals like it’s a bad thing.
