PARTIALLY CURIOUS INDEX

PrintWe're working on a project with some of our guests who are in town this weekend, and unfortunately this requires us being in one place at one time. That place is not the internet, and RL SUX OMG LOL. It'll be worth it, though, and then hugs cheers and Schnelly shirts for all.
In the meantime, bullets for the brawlers:
- South Carolina looked fabulous last night, and did so against a really shitty defense, which is one of the reasons they looked so together and awesome, and why South Carolina fans can fairly raise a brisk wind warning flag of optimism but not a full gale force. Spirit Wolf Garcia looked awesome, but freelancing against Southern Miss is an entirely different matter than freelancing against Georgia.
- Spurrier's interviews were gruff, nasal odes to crotchetiness. He was complaining about not being up 31-6 at the half, and this made little cartoon hearts appear and burst around our head.
- MTSU still almost beat Minnesota despite missing Dwight Dasher. In news from 2009, Minnesota is still probably an awful football team.
- Dave Wannstedt would put your money in gold, because that never goes down. Then he would allow it to be stolen from the back of your unlocked minivan. Pitt settled for the tie at the end, and then reaped the whirwind. Les Miles says he would have called a fake punt, but we can't all live like men, Wanny.
- That said, they lost to Utah, a team that is really freakin' good, on the road across the continent. There should be no rage because a.) valor counts, and b.) It's not like you didn't know the NFL virus hasn't swarmed Wannstedt's system and turned him into a hopelessly conservative coach at all moments.
- Rutgers creaked to a hideous start against Norfolk State, but Jersey Shore was on so the distractions may be all too explicable as to why they only started scoring in the second half.
- Jacory Harris looked exquisite against FAMU, but most quarterbacks do.
- USC's defense remains rich in Vitamin Ass, allowing 642 yards, 36 points, 39 first downs, and keeping Hawaii in the game. Their best move remains Michael Morgan's forearm shiver, which should have been 15 yards for blows to the head, but this is Hawaii and the refs--when not pulling Hawaii TDs off the board and putting them back on for no reason--were shivering at the thought of a violent volcano death at the hands of Honolulu bookies.

USC's defense...
…is certainly a work in progress. Luckily they have Virginia and Minnesota up next so there will be a chance for the youngsters to work together. This is the ideal year to not have a huge OOC game like Ohio State or Texas early in the season.
The best thing about last night’s game was that I didn’t see any big injuries to USC players.
Los Angeles is like Manchester. There is a red team that wins championships and a blue team that doesn't.
I think a USC fan should be saying the best thing about last night was barely escaping embarrassment…or, at least, total embarrassment. Hawaii was a stolen TD and a dropped TD pass away from being within a FG of winning. With their third-string QB.
The O is the new U

"Even the Swedes are fighting."-Randy Hahn
At certain points in the game last night, I couldn't help thinking
how much the Trogans looked like a Weis team. They hit all the important points:
-Piss-poor tackling, with very few Hawaii receivers going down on first contact.
-Bizarro X-Box decision making in the name of being clever.
-Making no-name backup quarterbacks look like world-beaters.
But maybe I’m just seeing what I want to see.

Not at all
I was thinking the same thing.
Also what I took away from the game. If the U$C defense gave up nearly 600 yards to Hawaii, how many yards will they give up to Oregon or Oregon State?

Insults here are part of the game
But I’m sorry, comparisons to a Charlie Weis team are just too foul. That was uncalled for.

I do not consider Utah over Pitt an [UPSET WATCH], ESPN. How anyone would favor Pitt in that game (opponent, frosh QB in that atmosphere, etc etc etc) is beyond me.
true dat
Da Utes were favored by people putting their money on the line. But y’all gotta understand that ESPN’s Upset Watch is triggered by a line of code that checks the ranking of the two teams playing. In this case, even though the gamblers were picking Utah, the computer saw #15 Pitt > #NR Utah.

“Coach Schnellenberger regards the Fumblerooski as iillegal and immoral.’ "
Am I correct that all of the Patron Saint discussions from all the Digital Vikings are for the discussion of who will finish in second place?

Rutgers creaked to a hideous start against Norfolk State, but Jersey Shore was on so the distractions may be all too explicable as to why they only started scoring in the second half.
This is not true. The scoring started when Norfolk St. players started being on the ground in pain during Rutgers’ second drive of the second half after seemingly every play. Yep, Rutgers got their offense going only after Norfolk got tired.
It’s going to be a long season.

…the non-conference schedule is so god awful and the dregs of the conference come to Piscataway, so 7-5 and a berth in the almighty Pinstripe Bowl presented by New Era is not out of the question.
Orson, couldn't help but notice that you failed to make any mention of the Heisman frontrunner going 17/25 for 247 yards and 3 TDs against no interceptions...

Not a slam on Pryor,
but if he really is considered the “frontrunner” up there, it just shows how myopic anyone can be on any given topic. I think most non-Big Rust Belt fans would consider him one of a handful of guys with the right combination of high profile team and high ranking to become a strong contender, but would stop far short of calling him a frontrunner.

Yes.
Very few people outside of Ohio are ready to ship the Heisman to Pryor on the basis of one game versus Marshall, especially since 95% of the nation hasn’t even kicked off.
As I said, I’m curious if the story across big ten country is the trophy is Pryor’s to lose.

Got hosed on that fumble call on the kickoff return.
Still, he shouldn’t be waving the ball around like that on a kick return anyway.
Pitt
Was horribly overrated at #15. Great game though.
I thought it was a great game also

"I like the taste of danger most of all." - Jonatha Brooke
Textbook college football in being so unpredictable it was predictable
Pitt was terrible on offense for three quarters and then manages to even an eleven point deficit on the road in the fourth quarter (preposterous time out – field goal sequence included), and then promptly throws it all away on an unforgivable pick from their new qb. And all the while with gratuitous cut aways to that blonde. Even though I missed the season dearly, it’s like it never left.
I've seen about a half dozen references to "that blond"
on various websites. We need photographic evidence of these cut aways.

How many penalties? I thought it was a punt, pass and false start contest.
I almost forgot
The ACC will suck this year as it has in so many others. UNC did a pre-implosion to take off the pressure of their non-reality-based ranking. VaTech is going to be all flashy and street in their loss to Boise. Which I guess leaves GaTech and coach caveman to go 7-5. Clearly the worst of the “major” leagues.
The vegas line on GT
is either 7.5 or 8 wins (and you get good odds if you bet the under on 7.5), I guess you are putting a bunch of money down on that.
