THE CURIOUS INDEX, 12/23/2010

PrintAWWWWWW. If you peruse the galleries of bowl photos, there's inevitably a few of the hospital visits players make as part of the bowl week festivities. The linemen make the best pictures: HERE LIL CUB BIG BEAR BRING YOU MOOSE YOU EAT MAKE STRONG.
(That's Rod Davis of Texas A&M, btw.) (Sniff.)
LET US NOW PRAISE THE NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL OF FOOTBALL TEAMS, BOISE STATE. The ultimate football hipster team is now decided: it is Boise State 2010, the team whose magnificence fizzled in a single night in Reno, meaning they never had to "sell out" by playing in "a major brand's bowl" and thus ruin their "alt cred." Remember, the best football teams are the ones that never really happened, and their final misfiring classic last night against Utah will be remembered as the football hipster's version of the Beach Boys' Smile*: messy, full of mistakes, and adored by those who hail its imperfect perfection. (Also, Utah's offense was horrible. That always helps.)
*Seriously, Holland is so much better, and Smile is total shit. <---OUTHIPSTER'D
This photo summarizes Kyle Brotzman's entire year. The Utah player is Fate.
UNFAIRLY QUOTED: KEN NIUMATALOLO. From an article on the still-submerged field at Qualcomm Stadium, the site of tonight's Poinsettia Bowl:
"We’re excited to strap it on anytime. For our seniors, this is going to be the last time for them to do this. Plus we’ve been practicing on a ballroom carpet, so I think the carryover is going to be minimal."
(Via Paul.) The burns are hell, but the traction is incomparable, especially if you've ever tried to strap it on in a session on high thread count sheets. The field, as of last night, looked like this. RUN THE DIVE HAHAHAHAHA. #addazio'd
URBAN MEYER, CHILL BRO. Last night's television audition for Meyer went pretty well, all things considered. Meyer looked comfortable--almost too comfortable, in fact, since at times he appeared seconds away nodding off on the set. He was at his best when breaking down plays, something he did with a clarity and speed no other ESPN announcer this side of Ron Jaworski dare attempt. This would be an ideal use of his talents: breaking down real football plays, showing how they work, and working a telestrator till it bleeds. Between him and Trevor Matich on set, the other ESPN college X's and O's junkie, it was a geek's feast on set. This probably means bad things for most viewers, but most viewers can go piss up a rope made of burning cat hair.
He still can't smile like a normal human being, but that's overrated. Craig James has a beaming grin, after all, and that's worked out so well for them.
TAKE NO CHANCES AKA BRIAN KELLY READS EDSBS. Brian Kelly is taking Notre Dame players' passports in order to prevent them from cross-border jaunts to Juarez. Miami has announced no similar countermeasures, presumably because Juarez and certain sections of Miami are really a push as far as public safety goes.
WASTED AWAY AGAIN IN HOLGORITAVILLE. There's little content here, but the name is beyond promising. We'll work up a recipe for the Holgorita soon enough, but we are taking submissions in the comment section. Tequila must be involved.
LES MILES REALLY LOVES CHRISTMAS. The press conference is a bit long, but listening to Les Miles talk about Christmas is as fantastic as you think it would be. It's not earth-shattering, but you must giggle at the man saying "Socks, underwear and ties? Fine with me."
YOU'VE MADE A MISTAKE YOU SAY: Not our mistake anymore, but condolences nonetheless.
FOR CHRISTMAS WE WILL SEE/ A THREE STAR FULLBACK TALKING EXCITEDLY! A three-star fullback is excited about our hypothetical offense! I'm twelve years old and what's a fullback?

A "mistake"?
The Bay of Pigs, the Cadillac Cimarron and the Apple Newton were “mistakes.” Hiring Addazio is on another plane entirely, i.e. walking willingly into the gaping maw of empirically proven disaster. One can only presume Temple was looking at the first two years of the Dave Clawson era at Bowling Green (9-16) and thinking, “Well, he got them to one bowl game, at least . . . yeah, I’ll have some of that.”
When your options include Addazio and Footbaw Bob
can there ever be a correct choice?

You'd be surprised at how some coaches can fail up
Nebraska’s DC when they got bumrolled by Colorado and Miami (Craig Bohl) is doing a fine job at a North Dakota State as head coach.
Some coaches are better head coaches than coordinators.

Its all about strengths and weaknesses
Realize what they are and hire well to compensate for your weaknesses, coaches can succeed.

It's a sure sign of impending societal collapse when we have so many grown men sitting around and arguing on the Interwebz about other people they don't know playing games that don't matter. But it can occasionally be fun.
You shut your foul mouth Doug!
Apple Newtons got a bad wrap. But that other stuff is dead on.
/I mean really, when are you gonna make it back to Haiti?
Count me among those
who believe Addazio could do just fine at Temple. Relieved of play-calling duties, he seems like the kind of popular, competent manager that could do well as a HC.
/believedinTheZooker
//stillthinksTheZookerwasfiredtoosoon
///indeepdeepdeepdenial
For fairness's sake it bears mentioning...
That Addazio’s sole game as (interim) head coach was Tebow’s finest and a blowout of a previously undefeated Big East champion. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been fairly high on Loeffler: he OC’d that game.
It also bears mentioning that only six coordinators were also O-line coaches this year, and I don’t believe Addazio was the only one let go. It may be that Addazio was, as has been postulated but forgotten in favor of incompetency because we like to think huge fucking assholes are also idiots, simply overextended in simultaneously holding two of the three most demanding positions in football.

Did I miss that?
I thought Urban stayed on to coach the Sugar Bowl? Was Addazio really not calling the play and I managed to forget that—that glorious idea?
O-line coach failed as a coordinator?
As an Auburn alum, I know this story well. It begins with Hugh, and ends with Nall.

It's clear to me now
that ESPN needs to hire Les Miles away from LSU as Lee Corso’s replacement. And I mean that seriously; ESPN definitely has the money to make it happen, and Les is clearly insane enough to leave a top-5 coaching job to do his crazyman bit on television.
But wouldn't you get tired of this drill every week?

David Jones' writing hurts my eyes.
But Addazio, 51, has never proven to be any deep strategist which a turbulent 2010 season as offensive coordinator has proven. More close to his essence are stints as an offensive line coach during stops at Indiana (2002-04) under Gerry DiNardo and Syracuse (1995-98) under Paul Pasqualoni.
Katz, 69, no doubt was attracted to Addazio’s track record as a recruiter and an accomplished history at assembling tough lines. These two things he is very good at.
I received an F for my first paper in seminary because I ended the final sentence with a preposition. Had this been submitted, my crusty Reformation History professor might have taken him outside, lit a cigarette and burned his fingers until they bled. Worst of all, someone paid him to write it.

Shoudn't that be
“Ending a sentence” and not “Not ending a sentence”? Isn’t ending a sentence with a proposition what up with he which not will put?
My old English teacher was a fount of sly abuse of his students. One time he paralyzed a girl with fear by demanding “What part of speech is the preposition ‘to’?”
Another time during a spelling test he gave the word thusly:
Mr. Porter: Splendid. S-p-l-e-n-d-i-d. Splendid.
Me: [gives him a Stewie Griffin slow-head-lift-from-the-paper take]
Mr. Porter: [silently holds finger to lips in shushing motion and grins evilly]
He told me later some people missed the word.

No discussion of OSU's tattoo-gate?
I don’t see it as a huge deal, personally, but there’s a noon presser and there may be suspensions resulting from the investigation.
Big deal or not, I’m always game for a little schadenfreude.
"You can't be afraid to play somebody because they've got 3 really good players. How are you going to win if you're afraid to play? We're not going to be afraid to play - we're going to fight, we're going to attack, we're going to throw it out there and see what happens." - Carlos Boozer
Honestly, I don't see it as a big deal
Tattoos as elaborate as most college football players have, are incredibly expensive. Way too expensive to be paid for with scholarship stipends and per diem. This happens all the time. I can’t remember the last time I paid full price for a tattoo. There’s always some quid pro quo
"Ah, that's repulsive, that's repugnant, that's recorrigible, that's retragnicent. These aren't even words. These aren't even wo...what am I saying, I don't even know. I can't go on, I can't go on anymore, make it stop." ~ Puppet Michael Floyd
Cowherd just reported 6 players will have to sit out the first 5 games next year
Including Pryor.
Again, I don’t think it’s a big deal, and I don’t think this proves that OSU has a lawless football program … but damn if I ain’t smiling right now.

All the Holgorita recipes I've seen here seem way too complicated
After all, we Mountaineers have simple tastes, in general. And I should know, I have over 220 years of hillbilly born right into me. Some of my ancestors moved across the Allegheny Front right after the Revolution, and some of my ancestors were already there to meet them.
Holgorita, Hillbilly Style
1/2 shot Moonshine (a nod to WV heritage)
1/2 shot Akavit (a nod to Holgorsen’s hertiage)
drop of lime juice (a nod to the Margarita’s heritage)
Serve with a beer back. Cheers!
Note – If you don’t have true Moonshine, you may substitute Everclear, but it is a poor substitute.

Aquavit?
Those of us with no access to ’shine will have to make do with grain alcohol
That is an alternate spelling if you insist on taking the Roman spelling
It is derived from Aqua Vitae, water of life

And praise COTG if he’s right.
I love green because money be green.
Yes, ESPN's 15 minute straight rimjob of Urbz was great
Because who doesn’t need MORE Urban Meyer in their lives now that we were almost rid of tWWL’S favorite neutral evil corch?
Oh and will they? OF COURSE THEY’RE GOING TO INVOLVE TEBOW
I am fucking shocked they didn’t find a way to shoehorn LBJ and Favrevere into that space, but I guess that would have taken away from Josef GoebbelsESPN’s propaganda war to prepare us before they crowbar another hateful commentator (James, Millen) into our lives.

Hilarious Addazio quote is hilarious:
’’I’ve waited a long time to be a head football coach,‘’ he said. ’’I’ve paid my dues in this business. It’s been my pleasure to serve some great players and coaches. I feel they’ve helped guide me.’’
The Connecticut native and Florida offensive coordinator was introduced as Temple’s 25th coach at a news conference Thursday.
‘’Urban knew my goal from the beginning has been to be a head football coach in the Northeast,’’ said Addazio, who will remain with the Gators through the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1 against Penn State. ’’I’m grateful this opportunity came up.’’
He’s paid his dues, apparently. Actual merit is unnecessary as long as you coach long enough.
What a pleasant thought.
