CURIOUS INDEX, 12/10/09

I think Tebow should have waited until he got in the locker room to start crying. You’re a big boy Tebow, you don’t need to prove that you’re emontional. Do what I do and just swallow that anger and frustration and but it deep down inside the darkest parts of your soul until you physically go numb from the trama. Works for me.

In other words, do what we did after the ‘Bama and Ole Miss games, and family holiday gatherings? Or was that get blindingly, fall-down, blackout drunk? I can’t remember.

What Hornung doesn’t realize is that Tebow is just crying to increase his lady magnetism…. which has reached superconductor magnet proportions already

when he is done he will probably focus his powers on making ladies glom onto football….increasing his audience by 100%

My family and friends know when I stare blankly at the TV like a zombie with a wry smile just to leave me be unless you have a beer for me.

For the last week or so, I’ve been hearing rumors that a few SEC coaches turned UT in for paying a recruit out of North Gwinnett High School. Then a few days after, the NCAA lands on Knoxville to investigate their “hostesses.” I wonder if we’re only getting part of the story from the NCAA? Or the paying players thing is complete horseshit.

That is all.

At least the Tennessee story gave Tony Kornheiser an excuse to have Joe Biddle on his radio show to fire off some pretty decent one-liners.

re: dying art of trash talk in SEC

Could the SEC chants at the end of games be to blame? Now that so many fans have hitched their wagons to conference superiority to erase their own teams’ failings, are they actually starting to subconsciously support old rivals? Could the “SEC above all” line of thinking be making it hard to hate SEC teams?

Just a few questions from a Big 10 grad, who obviously doesn’t have to deal with this conference pride phenomena.

Kevin@LSU

I agree but I guess when you gotta let loose you let loose.

Charlie to Louisville huh? Does this mean the whole Gators 2-deep goes pro and we see the implosion of an empire with first Mullen then Strong crippling Meyer?

If Florida wants the defensive equivalent of Steve Addazio they can just call Greg Robinson or Corwin Brown.

That’d be fun to watch!

So, ND needs a coach and a quarterback because the Emu left…are you thinking what I’m thinking? Willy Korn+ Ron Prince= ND wins forever at everything. EVERYTHING.

When Tebow starts fooling around with the ladies, something like this will happen.

I think all conferences have some sort of camaraderie when it comes to bowl game. A SEC vs. Big 10 match-up will most like result in Big 10 fans rooting for their own conference. However, I think the SEC solidarity, while it was always there, really took off when OSU was basically crowned the National Champions in 2006 before getting ass-raped by Florida. After the, the SEC chant became more a joke than anything. Just to get under the skin of a certain northern contingency of fans, who are believed to have buttons that are easily pushed. Most Ohio State fans that I have encountered get hot like a pistol if you have any sort of negativity toward their team.

It’s also started a trend. Pac-10 fans have been known to chant Pac-10 when they beat a SEC team.

Paul Hornung is right!

Paul Hornung didn’t cry when he won the Heisman in an eight-loss season or when he was banned from the NFL after betting on games or after he said black athletes were too dumb to meet Notre Dame admissions standards.

Jeez, Tebow, learn a little something from Paul Hornung.

If there’s no crying in baseball, then there’s no crying in football. No exceptions.

@10: I dunno about that Big Ten mentality. I was at the Florida-Michigan Citrus Bowl (I refuse to call it the Capitol One Bowl after they sent my account into collections) when I noticed that the Michigan State mascot was in attendance (the Spartans had played in the Tangerine Bowl (I refuse to call it the Champs Sports Bowl since they sent my account to collections) a few days prior, and the mascot stuck around just to taunt the Wolverines.

Now THAT, my friends, is the kind of dedication to hate the SEC has been lacking of late.

Crying is best saved for when you call in to EDSBS Live.

We Pac-10 fans have always had conference camraderie because of the “east coast bias” perception, but most Pac-10 fans only root for nine of the conference teams since our natural rivalries set up so nicely. Having said that, go Huskers!

On a completely separate topic, Barnhart said the following in bullet point #1 of the linked article:

I don’t think the NCAA can punish a high school player who hasn’t signed with a college. In fact, I know it can’t.

Apparently Mr. College Football never heard the phrase “It’s good to be Chris Rainey” or the shitstorm that followed it. I felt like it was less of a waste of time to post this here rather than in the AJC forum, especially since the 1st comment over there called Barnhart a “looser.” Twice.

Kevin@LSU – as always an excellent answer.
If the SEC chant really is just to annoy Northerners, I will be very disappointed. And Annoyed.

I really hope Brian Kelly gets that Notre Dame job. The worst complaint I have about Randy Edsall is the logo he foisted on the football program looks like a crescent wrench. That shit is an abomination.

You may be able to design schemes, sir, but you are no Cayce Pollard.

hornung then went on to state that the “black athlete” wouldn’t have cried in that situation even though florida’s academic standards are too high for the “black athlete” to be admitted in the first place.

lets keep listening to this guy.

Paul Hornung:

Tebow will stop crying in public when you stop dropping trau in public.

Just the thought of Ron Prince crushes what is left of my soul. Would Notre Dame tolerate recruiting classes of 5-7 players with the no Juco rule?

I bet Johnelle Smith would take the job. There’s a candidate…

I always had Paul Hornug figured as a Blatz drinker. Schlitz would have been too high class for him. Hamms too.

Hornung is a flawed messenger whose message from the 50’s/60’s to the “Aughts” is to man up, quit that damned blubbering during football games, and oh yeah, mix me another pitcher of martinis while you’re at it.

But the hell of it is that the Golden Boy had a decent point.

Kevin@LSU

What did you say about Ohio State!!!!?

Hornung remains the only Heisman winner from a losing team, relegating Johnny Majors to 2nd place.

I believe this was when the anti-UT ESPN conspiracy was born.

Actually, that vote was very close until Hornung distinguished himself in the all-Scotch drink-off.
