THE CURIOUS INDEX, 8/4/2010

PrintYOU CAN TELL A LOT ABOUT A MAN FROM THE WAY HE SINGS "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME." He starts with blind enthusiasm, then gets lost, changes the tune, and then grimly sticks through to a cascade of boos. In summary: pretty much a classic [NAME REDACTED] effort.
(HT: Clubhouse Cancer.)
THE DOUG MARRONE CRAFT HOUR WILL BE FANTASTIC. The Big East is looking at a network. Please do not spit the piece of food you have in your mouth out, since people in the "Northeast" actually enjoy "college basketball," and therefore could float the network pretty solidly by itself. They can't count on West Virginia to support the network, however, since the entire state would craftily find a way to pirate the channel and do not lie you know this would happen, West Virginia. (In other news, it's really fun to get your Ric Flair on an address an entire state by name. "YOU LISTEN TO ME, NORTH CAROLINA--")
YOUR CONFERENCE CALLL JUST GOT BETTER. YOU'RE WELCOME. LOVE, BLOGGERS. We ask the important questions, like "Mike Riley, what do you think of LIndsay Lohan?" (HT: The Wiz.)
AND THAT IS HOW A MAN GETS KNOCKED OUT IN THE STREET BY NO ONE. Derek Dooley cannot take all the blame here, since figuring out a bar fight is just as confusing as being in a barfight. The witnesses are all drunk, the participants are often worse than drunk, no one can or is willing to talk about what happened and still fewer actually know. Nevertheless, the results are effectively in, and for the moment a cop managed to knock himself out and end up in the ICU all by himself in Knoxville, and the aftershocks of the VolBrawl seem to have run their course with surprisingly little long-term damage to the team. (Civil lawsuits may follow, of course, but the criminal side and subsequent player bootings/suspensions are done.)
A shocking letdown in the Fulmer Cup, this was.
CATHOLICS VERSUS CATTLE WOOO. Notre Dame may be mockable in a number of fashions, but one is not their consistent attempts to schedule difficult competition after they cram in their traditional but as-of-late candy diet of service academies and Stanford. ND is looking at a four game series with Texas beginning in 2015, and neutral sites are eligible. Two words: CIUDAD JUAREZ. Catholic fanbase, proximity to Texas and a whole potential new generation of Longhorn fans, and guaranteed fun for the whole family!
DON'T FORGET THE PIMPNESS: Once upon a time, before he was a classic, he was a Caesar. Brent Musburger in his toll-booth running finest hour:
Even today Musburger finds outrageous stunts almost irresistible. Take every Sunday night when he and the executive producer of The NFL Today, Ted Shaker, drive home to Connecticut. They invariably bring a cooler of beer with them—two cans of Moosehead for Musburger, three Bud Lights for Shaker. By the time they reach the 35-cent toll plaza near Greenwich, the car lines can be 10 deep. WHAAA-HOO! They floor it through a vacant toll booth on the right shoulder while the other poor saps queue up. Jes' lettin' off some steam, yer Honor.
Moosehead Beer will be the new PBR in five years. Count on it. (HT: Matt Zemek.)

Fuck Notre Dame in the pants.
We don’t want to play you at your place, but we’ll go to the Meadowlands! Look at us! We play people. As long as it’s not in Austin, Athens, Tuscaloosa, Gainesville, Norman, or any other similarly situated locale.

Everyone plays buy out games against small schools
That isnt the issue. And Boise isnt one of those small schools.
But, Notre Dame is treating UGA the same way you all treat Boise. And I find that funny.
While we arent going to Statesboro, we are going to Middle Tenn as part of a 2 for 1.

Boise in 2005 was not the Boise of today. They were still a cute little upstart story. A lot of teams wouldn’t play them at all. We offered and they jumped on it.

Evans made it hard to pick on your schedule
It was much easier when Dooley was AD.
I had to go for what was there. And Boise wasnt quite an upstart, they werent the Boise of today…well, actually, they were, just nobody knew it yet.
Have you all called them back and offered a home-and-home now that they arent an “upstart”? They will jump at it too. Just like you would a home-and-home with ND.

I will admit a trip to the blue field would be interesting
Although we’re playing Oregon and reviving the old rivalry with Clemson in the near future. Just from looking at Georgia Tech’s future schedule you’d think they were trying to get back in the SEC with Auburn, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and even Tulane for that retro nostalgia.

It's kind of ironic
for a GT fan to take a shot at UGa scheduling while their program’s marquee OOC opponents are middle of the pack SEC programs. Auburn, Ole Miss, and South Carolina can’t be big OOC games that prove Tech ain’t skeered without also reinforcing the SEC’s built in SOS advantage.

Syracuse and Alabama too
but not Ole Miss, at least I dont think its back on the schedule yet. Actually, not sure Bama is back on.
Ole Miss “delayed” on us. We “delayed” on Bama.
IIRC, the Bama series has been rescheduled, but havent actually checked. I think we still owe Louisville a series before end of decade too, but Jurich has dumbed down their schedule so much, I think he is happy to not put it back on.
GT canceling that series pissed me off. I think I was the only Tech fan who cared, but seeing Tech play 20 mins from home was big for me. We stopped playing the Ville in hoops in the mid 90s. Technically, adding Miss St was an upgrade in SOS, at least for 2009. A wash for 2008.

Dude
Perhaps the greatest kicker in WVU history had to miss a chip shot FG to lose that game, resulting in the classic “Bill Stewart eyes closed” photo seen around the world.
But missing that FG was not Coach Stew’s fault.

"Missing that FG was not Coach Stew's fault"
You are absolutely correct in that assessment. Being in the position to lose a game on a missed FG with both Pat White and Noel Devine in the backfield I think was Stew’s fault. I will, however, spread some share of the culpability onto OC Jeff Mullen.

Explain to me...
What the problem is with ND and UT locking horns once each in South Bend and Austin for a home and home, then playing a neutral site game in Dallas and Chicago? You get your home game and a sweet share of the gate from a neutral site as well.
If that’s how it works out fine, but “(t)he rest of the details are unknown, such as if it would be simply a pair of home-and-homes or involve games at off-campus venues.” If ND stays true to form, there won’t be any games in Austin. Before he was busted with red panties in his lap, Evans was on record as saying ND would absolutely not play in Athens, but would consider playing UGA in South Bend and a neutral site. Evans told them to fuck off, then went to the bar.

Lordy Lordy do you mean to tell me
you really think what you have typed so eloquently (Fuck Notre Dame in the pants – is this Dana Jacobs?)
The “Neutral Site” games are a newer phenomena where ND feels it can rake in a nice “gate”, get some recruiting exposure in a hot market and help out it’s opponent in the same way.
I really doubt the veracity of your “Evans said” posting – as a GT fan pointed out, it wasn’t difficult to get the Jackets on the schedule with a home and home. I think what you refer to was the “Kickoff Classic” in the dome that normally pits and SEC and ACC school – they wanted ND/UGA, so having that game, then a game in South Bend would make sense.
There was rumor of a one-time game in Dallas, TX at Jerry’s house.
I also doubt someone as monetarily astute as Mr. Evans would have turned down 1/2 that NBC money for the game in South Bend – remember, we ain’t in no conference, we don’t have to share that with anyone but our opponent.
I think it all comes down to scheduling – UGA just couldn’t find room because of their commitments to all those 1-AA teams like Idaho State.
Please please don’t go to the “they won’t schedule nobody at home” with ND.

Ok, so you’re going to rely on the “liar, liar, pants on fire defense?”
It happened. Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t make it so. Tech and ND have played off and on since at least the 70s, maybe sooner, so perhaps it was a nod to tradition. But ND has 1-2 neutral site games a year up through at least 2014. Spare me the whole “we’re doing it out of the kindness of our heart” bullshit. They make a lot more money for neutral site games than home-and-homes, where you normally just get a stipend to cover expenses (so UGA wouldn’t get some HUGE check from NBC just for showing up). They could play UConn in Hartford, but they chose Foxboro. They could play Wazzu in Pullman, but they’re going to San Antonio. Arizona State in Dallas and Baylor in New Orleans. God forbid they, you know, show up at a stadium on campus that holds 50,000 people.
"Be worthy as you run upon this hallowed sod, for you have dared to tread where champions have trod."
by Silver Britches on Aug 4, 2010 1:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Uhhh you mean stadiums that hold over 90,000
Like the Coliseum, Beaver Stadium (Happy Valley), the “Big House”, Spartan Stadium… .The UCONN game was moved because their tiny field only holds 40,000.
Those “barnstorming” games help recruiting – Baylor (Houston) aiding them in LA right along with us. WSU, same thing for Texas, ASU same thing.
Your logic makes no sense… wait a minute, are you – this guy????
You’ve been playing USC forever. You’re natural, geographic rivals with the Big 10. ND’s not coming to campus outside of these games and it’s arrogant. A lot of people think this arrogance is misplaced, since it’s not 1940 anymore. Freaking Beano Cook said this neutral site scheduling is bullshit and if the biggest ND fellater around calls the Irish on it, I take note.
The whole point to all of this was that I would be very surprised if ND plays one game in Austin out of four, given their scheduling philosophy of the last 5-10 years.

by Silver Britches on Aug 4, 2010 2:47 PM EDT up reply actions
IIRC, NBC is the cause of the change in philosophy
I thought they “requested” that ND have 8 games a year they could show. Since road games are shown on the network of the opponent, they have shifted to the neutral site strategy to get more games on NBC. And the possibility of night games on NBC (which NBC also wanted).
Conference homers are the lowest form of fandom. That is why the SEC has so many of them.
How is it arrogant, exactly?
Is it arrogant to sell out a neutral site venue?
Is it arrogant to take the team to another location where people who otherwise can’t see the team live can buy a ticket?
Is it arrogant to make recruiting inroads in a new location…which the other team can do as well?
Is it arrogant that said neutral site game will be nationally – not regionally -televised?
Is it arrogant that ND has the balls to go after a series with Texas instead of Cobb County Community College?
Is it arrogant that ND and Miami already have a 3 game deal, with one game at each home venue and a neutral game in Chicago?
Is it arrogant to think that based on this precident, they won’t do the exact same thing with Texas?
Ahh yes sweet vindication
Silver Britches, that has to be a pic of you with the vacant stare and Scooby Doo reruns running on an endless loop in that vaccuous head of your’s….
ND will not only play in Austin once during the four game deal, they will play there TWICE. Official today.
So now, please tell me again. ND refused to play in Athens, GA because they were skeered (isn’t that the ‘neck’ way of saying that?) but are going to go to Austin twice.
Decorum prohibits me from browbeating the obvious “gentle soul” among us, so with this I will retire this posting. Good day.
By the way, I KNOW a ND fan isn’t faulting another school for having a shit ton of fans that never actually attended the university. That would be awesome.

I started attending Florida Fall of 2005
So the whole Zook thing doesn’t really do much for me. I’ve never really experienced Florida as a bad team. As a fan, it’s probably holding me back.
Nah, I’m just fucking around. 2 National Championships during my undergrad is pretty much as awesome as it gets.
There's the difference
While he was at Florida, Zook’s teams were still decent. Not early Spurrier-esque nor as dominant as they’ve been under Meyer, but still teams that could expect 9 wins or more. At Illinois, Zook has been so gloriously inept that it is awe-inspiring. Add to that his penchant for waterskiing, appliance purchasing and general deer-in-headlights demeanor and it is non-stop entertainment for the rest of the league.

God, I hate Tennessee
Most of the state wouldn’t identify a Volunteer starter that asaulted their own mother if they thought it would cost the Urrnge a football game. Other places joke about it, but it really is the dominant attitude in that state. It is a sick and broken culture of entitlement, and it’s why they have a history of fielding thugs and criminals on the gridiron. If Derek Dooley is serious about changing the culture (something I doubt after his petty refusal to release Brown), he is doomed to leave Knoxville a broken and defeated man.
