CURIOUS INDEX, 12/23/2009

Dear me, does the Pasadena PD have even the slightest idea what’s coming? This isn’t the usual SC-fans-skipping-the-new-year’s-day-brunch-and-scramble at the country club and a bunch of Big 10 fans who can’t get over being able to wear shorts without anything falling off…

So BCS teams average over 12 Top 100 recruits each. Assuming four years of Top 100 recruits available total, .084 × 1,496/400 = 31.4 percent, which means the BCS teams account for about one-third of the Top 100. So 10 of the 120 Div. 1A teams (8.3 percent) account for 31 percent of the Top 100 players. What stupid point was the WSJ trying to make again?

@DC – the big question is, if Los Angeles gets torched, shreaded and, generally, destroyed will anyone notice or just assume its natural disasters?

I started to watch the Lost wages Bowl last night until I saw who the announcing crew was. I switched away immediately. Rece Davis is a pretty good play-by-play man (IMHO) but there is no way I’m subjecting myself to three hours of May Holtz.

@4
So you’re saying you missed Lou Holtz continued forcing of “the rugby styled punt” down every other viewers throat?

That wind was ridiculous last night.

@1
There is nothing I would like to see more than a Bama title followed by LA styled rioting with all the Bama fans getting on planes, in rv’s and pickups and leaving for the South the next morning.

Report that ESPNLA

Detective Lieutenant Frank Drebin put it best: “Nice Beaver”.

So, let me get this straight.

Taking the redshirts into consideration, roughly 25% percent of the Top 100 prospects are playing in bowl this year. Of that pool of 126 playing in bowl games, 34 “Top 100’s” are playing in a BCS bowl. Those 34 lucky ones, represent a whopping 27% of the “8.4%” playing in bowl games. Now the BCS itself, with it’s 5 games, represent only 15% of all the bowl games. This mean an average of 6.8 Top 100 prospects will be showcased in BCS games, while a scant average of 3.3 Top 100s will be on dispplay for all of the other bowl games.

Q.E.D : Having more being a Top 100 propect on a team, is condusive of being on a BCS team, when of course just speaking of the bowl teams.

Willie Martinez to UF to coach Linebackers or DB’s?

Wall Street JournaLOL’d.

This does nothing to dissaude me from thinking that journalism is essentially shitty writing peppered with ‘facts.’

DC @ 1 – having lived there for a good portion of my time, no, the Pasadena Police Department never has any idea what’s coming.

I expect a fair amount of griping from those visiting the Rosemont for breakfast near the Bowl that grits and other necessities of Southern breakfast are not on the menu.

Hitting Below the Belt Dept:

Texas fans selling t-shirts with:

“In Texas Bear Bryant is Just Another Ex-Aggie”

Man, that is really hitting below the belt, but I love it!

It will be fun having all of these ’Bama fans in LA. Though it might come as a shock to them all of the sun and non-armpit smell all over the place over here.

Stacy…Bama fans will be enamored with your bankrupt corner of the world overrun with illegals and gang bangers.

@12 Jimmy G: I wish they would stay away. My big concern is that once they have been to SoCal, it will be hard for them to go back to the sticks. This place is packed with foreigners from all over the place, including Louisiana, West Virginia, Iowa and Minnehaha.

@ SKLM – I guess I get the armpit smell comment, but not the part about the sun… is Alabama particularly overcast in your opinion?

@14, Rory Sparrow:

In So Cal, we have mostly sunny days (with NO humidity) – 187 days per year,

while down in Sweet Home Awabama, the figure is 99 days per year (with a ton of humidy, thus, the armpit smell comment explanation)

This is true because it is on the internets, here is the source:

But, if it is any consolation, I would rather be in Bama than Kabul.

Kerwin4two – looks like he’ll be safeties coach if it happens, heater to LB’s (which he has coached before elsewhere) and Heater/McCarney as co DCs. I hope it DOESN’T happen.

re: the tickets article, Jeremy Fowler needs to find something better to write about. GPD and UPD have it out for football players and athletes in general. Fowler is just piling on right now. I hope he gets nothing but coal and dog shit in his stocking.

I’m really looking forward to my trip to Cali. I’m especially excited about finally seeing the sun.

52% Sun annually + millions of illegal Mexicans = no armpit smell. Got it.

Etch,

DON’T LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN1

Taco,

I also heard that California clouds come not from moisture in the air, but rather fire on the ground.

Aw-ite you cali shitheads listen up. the only thing you got out there is a trophy that I’m bringing back here so you can go screw yourself with your self indulgent smugness and pc spewing attitude. you assholes wouldn’t last a minute anywhere but out there so I suggest you stay the hell out of everywhere else cause not only don’t we want you but if you show up anywhere else we’re gonna kick yer asses back where you came from.

California vs Awabama Dept:

@20 Hey NIckster: Funny post. Clarification: In So Calif we have Smog, what you are talking about -> smug - occurs in Northern Calif, by the way.

How about this fair exchange: You kick out all Californians in your state and we kick out all Awabamies in our state. Fair deal? I am sure we would come out on top of this exchange, by the way.

Aren’t illegal Mexicans considered Californians? If so, SKLM, you got a deal…at least after Jan 9th, when I will be leaving Cali.

@bamachine: No Californian with any self-respect ever calls our fine state “Cali.” It’s a lame-ass creation of would-be hipsters who think “Baywatch” was a reality show. I hear somebody use the term and I know they play pup tent with Miley Cyrus dolls.

And ya know what? I’ll take our Mexicans over your white trash any day. Their food’s better and they speak better English than my relatives in Tuscumbia.

OJ,

Ya dipshit, I do not call it “Cali” to be faux-hip but from this little thing called abbreviation. FWIW, I do like authentic Mexican food and about 75% of the illegals that are here. It is the other 25%, who are the criminals Mexico wanted to get rid of, I am offering up to your state. I am sure they would feel right at home in CALI. In fact I will throw in the white trash for free. You did want to see your family didn’t ya? With all that, let me add this, Merry Christmas, MF.
