CURIOUS INDEX, 11/3/09

Mickey Andrews… I remember thinking a long, long time ago “Man I wish we could get our defenses to play like that”. Truly brutal.

Halloween 2010, decided. HULK APE!

The look on the face…pure gold.

You can see Mickey over on the sidelines these days looking confused as he madly mashes the “kill” button, wondering why those spindly little D linemen he has won’t respond. Warren Sapp could eat any two of them without loosening his belt.

I can’t stop laughing looking at that Hulk Ape. Your description is perfect.

All signs point to Ohio State doing everywhere South of the Mason-Dixon line a favor and snuffing Iowa out silently.

I can breathe easily now.

As for UCLA, what are the odds that Neuheisel goes Dan Hawkins on his parents? Tell him to sit in his arm chair, keep enjoying the free tickets and maybe if the entire team didn’t blow that they could actually run some sort of offense where gaining a first down wasn’t cause for a Purdue-esque celebration.

In the words of the Great Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff “Parents just don’t understand”

Urbz: “Tim, run it up the middle.”
Tim: “Time out! Time out Time out!”
Urbz: "What’s up, Tim?
Tim: “Is that the play where I run it right or left? Or the one where I pretend to pass and then run it?”

Hey this is Florida. Andrews has coached three generations of at-tha-letes

Can I get the Hulk Ape costume in old gold and blue?

as for Iowa… the more undefeated teams the better I say

I want a plague of undefeated teams to descend upon the NCAA to promote the uprising of playoff advocates…. there should never be another season when damned good teams have no chance to climb to the top rung

Go Hawkeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“White girls of Nashville, prepare thyselves.”

As if there is any other kind? Especially in West End…

Chiziken: +1

Is hulk ape related to rape ape, or his meaner compadre rapier ape?

Iowa is like that turd that you try to flush twice

but it still stays floating in the bowl laughing at you

Hulk Ape looks a lot like dacoachO.

After watching Iowa play for the past few weeks I’ve determined that, if college football is the butcher’s counter at the grocery store, Iowa is the Scrapple Sausage…. and I mean that as a compliment.

Undeniably delicious finished product so long as you don’t ask where the ingredients come from.

We will get a college football playoff

because the Magic Negro promised it

during his Presidential campaign

The greatest trick a ginger ninja can ever pull is convincing the world that he is not a ginger ninja at all. Kudos Andy Dalton…Kudos.

As long as one loss BCS teams can still get into the MNC nothing will shame the BCS. The only thing that would shock the BCS would be all BCS conference losers being excluded from the BCS Bowls or a non-BCS team in the MNC.

The ultimate in BCS chaos? Florida, Alabama, Iowa, and Texas all go down and the computers spurn all of the one loss BCS teams. TCU & Boise fight for a OT 43-42 win in the MNC.

If that ape is at the Horseshoe, I’m calling for a last second Iowa win. Statute of Liberty play of course.

If the college football gods are just, they will give us Cincinnati and Iowa for the MNC.

What gives the HulkApe shot it’s cinematic brilliance is the deference and nonchalance of others in the picture. As if nothing is out of the ordinary, with everyone else sort of milling around at a pause in the game. The shot has the kind of isolated-longing-in-a-crowd poignancy at home in a Fritz Lang silent masterpiece.

What is HulkApe staring at off into the distance? Other game scoreboard? Cheerleaders? The yawing desolation of life as an ‘outsider’ among the crowd? Or perhaps he’s just looking for a good hairpiece to groom.

HulkApe at a Halloween frat mixer isn’t even worth a second thought.

But this shot would make Eisenstaedt drool.

@7
My only question is how many of Andrews coached players begat illigetimate children that Andrews also coached? No record on random swamp pregnancies or players who were brothers but didn’t know it?

@15
MmmmmM…Scrapple.
@18
Seriously TCU and Boise State? I’d rather watch an LSU/OU Cotton Bowl or whoever the Hokies play in Atlanta. TCU is a solid team but Boise needs to be jumped already, the season opener head to head only proved that Blount is capable of crushing jaws not that BSU is better right now than Oregon.

@21

great comment. +1

Richt is nowhere near the “hotseat” in my mind. However, this kind of indefensible call gets him there in the minds of people so inclined. Remember a guy name of Stafford?

What’s with all the thinly veiled bigotry today? Should I go back home and get my sheet? Ref #s 7/10/16/22

Richt needs to pull the redshirt off of Murray. He needs to look to 2010, not 2013 when he might not be here anymore.

brilliance: “the sunflower seed-chomping angry frog god on the sidelines”

“the season opener head to head only proved that Blount is capable of crushing jaws not that BSU is better right now than Oregon”.

@22, What exactly is the staute of limitations for losing with half the yardage? Having lost 2 in a row to BSU, what does Oregon want? best 3 out of 5?

@28, Do you, in all honesty, think that Boise State is better than Oregon at this point in the season?

Because maybe we just have some different television sets and are watching different teams play. Oregon is playing like one of the nation’s top 3 or 4 teams at this point in the season after a season opener that was the Broncos super bowl.

@29, Ask the Coaches (or their assistants or whoever fills out the damned ballot) if they’re serious.

When the Sooners lost it was a one time fluke. When the Ducks lost two years in a row it was because Sept doesn’t really count. Next year when V-Tech loses to Boise it will be because Oct. doesn’t count. Until BCS teams are willing to schedule Boise all we can go by is facts not mythical third tries by the Ducks.

“Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity,
For he’s a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square—
But when a crime’s discovered, then Macavity’s not there!” (TS Eliot)
