Around SBN: Randy Moss A Raven?

CURIOUS INDEX, 11/24/09

It was Nolte and you know it. Jimmy Clausen did get "sucker-punched" outside C.J.'s in South Bend Saturday night, leaving him with a black eye that likely won't affect his playing time against Stanford. No one seems to know who punched him, but our sources point not only to a senior citizen with rabies in his underwear, but towards a much more violent account of the incident than was previously reported.

Lou Holtz probably does walk around ND in his boxers and socks without commentary from the populace.

Damage. This literal variation of the damage done to members of the ND football establishment comes on the heels of Charlie Weis' soul-baring to John Walters for Fanhouse yesterday, where Weis revealed the impact the criticism and pressure has had on him and his family and detailed his physical ailments. (His knees are malice salad at this point, basically.)

You come this close to feeling genuine pity for Weis without qualification before tripping over this reason to insert qualification to the pity. On going back to the NFL, and the offensive coordinator positions awaiting him there.

"I'm more respected there," Weis says. "I'm more well-liked there."

Because he leaves the college game with the same basic lack of respect for his competition and the college game that he came in with, whingeing about respect and being liked while building an inconsistent product and failing to adapt adequately to the different environment. There's a word for those who fail to adapt: extinct.

Father Hessburg is busy. The House Rock Built has decided serious men need serious puppetry (and that if you had not seen it, the preview for a serious man might be necessary preliminary viewing.)

Cochon du lait. LSU's Combat Unis for the Arkansas game will feature "pig roast" in French on the front, the funniest of all the Combat Uni variations we've seen if you take out the Florida State "Almost lose to a Maryland team with the cohesion and durability of a wet fruit roll-up" logo. Amazing how prescient these have been, though we're not putting any money on LSU in this game, because Treebeard the Magnificent (Ryan Mallett) is going to throw for a gazillion yards in this game and horrify onlookers for miles around with visions of the Razorback offense going off like bad firecrackers for all of 2010. OH YOU THINK YOU KNOW RUN-ON SENTENCES BRANG IT.

Still alive. He's doing science and he's still alive: Al Groh still shows up at Virginia, and probably is surprising the office staff by doing so.

Charlie Weis owes Billy Curry royalties on that pity parade. YOU ARE THE HEAD COACH AT NOTRE DAME, DOLT. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

Congrats on being one of the popular kids in the incest crowd that is the NFL coaching ranks. Paul Hackett still has a job there…Paul effing Hackett.

My scorn has become active loathing for this leech.

“Pig Roast” is funny.

Texas has “It Only Takes 11,” a pointed gig to A&M’s “fabled” 12th man.

THAT’S funny.

Would a SuperFreek production of “The Fat Boys” featuring outgoing coaches Mangino, Weis, and Friedgan be too predictable? Maybe just MC Marky M’s final joint features Weis and Friedgan as “The Weather Girls”?

I feel like we the internet community need to properly memorialize just how much skinnier D-1 football head coaching is about to get.

That wasn’t a sucker punch, just an Irish kiss.

I would love to see LSUfreeks take on the Clausen falcon punching. Any chance LeGarrett Blount hopped a redeye from Tuscon to South Bend late Saturday?

“Combat Uniforms”? Somehow, the all-time biggest biggest cliche (football=war) made it all the way to the top of the marketing geniuses at Nike. Great. Sure the guys overseas dig that somehow 110 guys running around the Swamp Saturday are engaging in anything approaching “combat”.

That said, those white Gator helmets are sweeeeet.

Treebeard the Magnificent (Ryan Mallett) is going to throw for a gazillion yards

JaMarcus Russell’s trademark lawyer for you on Line 2, Swindle.

And counter trap’s right. The fact that people like Wade Phillips and Dick Jauron still cash a paycheck shows you why most NFL GM’s escew Frosted Flakes as “too risky.”

Jimmy should have known better than to get between Charlie and drumstick.

As for Weis’ smugness; take your fat ass back to the NFL where you can suck down hot wings drenched in ranch in the booth during defensive series, snore-breathe through all your QB meetings with Brody Croyle and Matt Cassell and gain 200 more pounds feasting on KC Barbecue with Jason Whitlock.

And go to hell NCState

If the Domers hire either the Dread Pirate Leach or The Orgeron, even I’d root for them. Otherwise not.

@10: Years ago at a ND-WfVU game in Morgantown, the Newman Club was selling t-shirts that simply said:
“Not all Catholics root for Notre Dame”

“He leaves the college game with the same basic lack of respect for his competition and the college game that he came in with, whingeing about respect and being liked while building an inconsistent product and failing to adapt adequately to the different environment.”

Couldn’t have put it better myself. So long, Charles. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

The powers at ND running this fustercluck had better get it right this time. Taking advantage of people’s trust and generosity (especially the trust of the student athletes entrusted to their care) is never OK, even when you do it from behind the front of “Catholic values.”

I’ve gone from disappointed to enraged on this situation so quickly my ears are bleeding.

A replay of Freek’s two-minute Weis vid with the sliding pie racks would be fitting the day he is given the axe.

I’ll pass on pig roasted in milk.

Of course, if the Domers hire the right guy, the could possibly compete in the Big East.

Its “pig in milk” which is even more intimidating.

(sighs, shakes head) Just . . . go, Charlie. I’m not even mad at you anymore. Just preserve what little dignity you have left and go. Please. Don’t do this to us, don’t do this to yourself, anymore.

This is what my Grandpa, who spoke more cajun french than english until his last breath, told me about a “cochon de lait.” It doesn’t literally translate to pig roast but as drb said, “pig in milk.” basically it’s a term used for suckling pigs. These are the pigs you hunt and roast.

Off topic, accept in a general fitting way for this week (the Mangino thread reminded me of it, but it doesnt fit there):

I have to say, I did do a double-take driving on to campus this morning, past Tiger Stadium, and seeing a trailer parked at the stadium’s south end with a bad-ass silhouette photo of anonymous football players and the cognitively dissonant phrase “COCHON DE LAIT — coming Saturday” on it. Now I know why. And I still don’t understand.

Kevin,
Yep, LSU definitely got a better deal with the Nike uni’s than most of the other 9 teams.

It’s Tubberville folks – and when he goes 13-0 in South Bend he won’t be pushed out by a group of idiot board members. We’ll erect a statue of him outside the stadium right between Leahy and Rockne like we did for Lou.

He is perfect for this job and is the only available candidate I can think of right now that has any idea what the following things are like:
1. Delusional Fanbase – Check
2. Competing for recruits in someone else’s backyard – Check
3. What it takes to win against top competition year in and year out – Check
4. How to develop players – Check
5. How to develop assistant coaches – Check

Please Father Jenkins, make the call. Bring Tommy T to South Bend.

If you want Tommy you better be prepared to deal with his mother too. She’ll write strongly worded letters and make phone calls if you talk bad about her Tommy-Boy

I’m a little late to the party here, but that sentence wasn’t even compound, let alone run-on. If you want to confound us Orson, you’ll have to try harder.
