CURIOUS INDEX, 1/26/10

It looks like Tebow does some “man-scaping”…

Either that, or he hasn’t hit puberty yet, which would explain his lack of interest in the opposite sex

Hoodrats…The comments in the Oregonian paper were so legit, more than one guy blaming the punk frat kids for having $2k laptops.

I’m sure the hoodrat comment will improve relations between the frat-athlete community. As will the kid reportedly running down Embry.

Neck tan, vacant expression, thinly veiled bigotry…SHIT, am I related to Tebow??

Why doesn’t Tebow sign with a Canadian team and learn the QB trade there?
He’ll make big bucks and then in a few years go to NFL?
It worked for Warren Moon.

If that boy had gone to Penn State, Joe would have made him a linebacker -

He looks a little nervous – but then, I too had no idea that James Lipton was that tall.

The reigning Fulmer Cup champions are on the board.

Also, damn the rules. Give SMU their due on this one!

So, can we get some multiple ax murderer on death row to make a companion ad about how his mama chose life? I doubt you’d have trouble finding one.

/Freakonomic’d

All that is missing is a navel piercing and a halo………………..

Um, you’re gonna have to take off those bracelets, son. They’ve gotta add about 8 pounds.

And @ 1: Is that what would explain it? Really? I thought it had to do with his, um, accent.

Is Leach a “Jack Mormon”?

Kohnke went on to say he wishes he was a little bit taller and wishes he was baller.

I really, really hate to give any vadlidation whatsoever to the Eugene frat boys, but as a guy who had to pull a varsity basketball player off of my mountain bike one fine Charleston evening after class, there is the slightest kernel of truth potential here.

Considering this is a state that had laws on the books that didn’t allow black people to live there until 1927, its not surprising that racist idiots still reside there…

Then again, these kind of frat boys could be found at any university around the country

Glad to see SMU embracing their return to big-time football.

I’m really looking forward to the first positive drug test for Mr. Tebow.

I’m new to this planet. Is a racist the victim of a crime? And is a hood rat someone that gets away with assault?

Let me be the first to posit that anyone who plays against that Key West High team next year is going to need to keep that offense off the field, because they are well & truly fucked.

Man, my native Missourian senses must be failing; I never thought I’d see serious talk of Missourah joining the Big Ten. Care about Penn State, people in St. Louis do not.

Jim Delaney: “What exactly does Missouri want?”

Gary Pinkel: “We want…more money.”

Jim Tressell: “More money from where?”

Gary Pinkel: “Just more money! You know! Missouri doesn’t get enough money! Other school have lots of money; we want, we want some of that money! Hu- how about- the Big Ten? The Big Ten makes lots of money! So give us some of that money!”

Don’t know how it is amongst the Eugene gentry and all, but where we be from, hoodrat isn’t a racial term. Its a social term. Mostly applied to Whiskey Tango skanks. Its like calling somebody “low rent”. I could be wrong.

Not hugely surprised frat boys may be white, drunk, and racist (holla for the stereotypes). But if you’re out jacking laptops and shit, you are pretty fucking low rent.

True Mike Leach story: while at NAIA school Iowa Weslyan, Cap’n Leach and Hal Mumme gave a ’ship to a buddy of mine from KWHS (the kicker, in fact) so that they could write off their keys vacation as a recruiting trip.

@19, your etymology of hoodrat is spot-on. Not a racist term at all; in fact, I’ve heard it used toward white folks more often than not.

I saw a near brawl between SAE’s and football players back when I was at USC. One friday afternoon a linebacker was heading home and passed the SAE house as they were unloading kegs for a party. I was in the living room of what now is also a frat house (but wasn’t then), when the LB burst through the door with the keg under his arm. Three frat boys came to the door about 30 seconds behind him and started banging on the door. A seriously badass defensive lineman went over and just stared at them through the screen door without saying anything. The lead frat guy said….uh….well…uh…..please bring back the keg when you are done with it since there is a deposit. That beer tasted good.

Yeesh, could someone ask Kurt Rambis to stop touching him like that?

haha oc phil that’s a cool story.

Come on now, are northern fraternities really fraternities? For any UF kids, my wild speculation would be that they’re all closer to UF Pike than UF ATO

The keg stealing stories from my time in Gainesville never ended until there was at least brandishing, if not discharge, of a firearm.

We need a story run on this. It needs to be Bro-tastic, worthy of King Bro-sideon, king of the brocean.

/once story is complete, they play Halo & Madden for 13 hours

How come the only things ever “brandished” are firearms? That might have to change after the pic of Greg Oden that surfaced today.

what’s wrong with calling a thief a “fucking hoodrat”?

Seems somewhat tame to me.

Texas to the Big Ten? Orson, where do you find these wacky scamps? Why don’t they just go after Florida, Alabama, or USC while they’re at it? I mean, THE BIG TEN HAS A TV NETWORK! A TV NETWORK!

Screw rivalries, tradition, more affordable travel costs, or a competition level that actually gets you to/ prepares you for big-time bowl games- the Horns could add a couple million dollars to their bottom line!

This would work out great for them, because they are a corporation run by shareholders only looking to make money, and not a non-profit entity that depends entirely upon not pissing off their fanbase.

@29 – you are right, how in the world could oklahoma be prepared for a BCS bowl game if it didn’t play in the big 12?? Woops, nevermind
