THE CURIOUS INDEX, 10/10/2011

NO, YOU GET TO DO THAT. The rule is stupid, but if someone's going to break the seal on making SEC refs enforce a rule about aesthetics, let it be an Aussie punter for Louisiana State on a fake punt TD.

8opsv_medium

Getting better. Excited. Oh, and let's not forget "frustrated." And there we are, hyperventilating, and trying to remember that things take time, and that Alabama lost to UL-Monroe in year one of the Saban era, and that LSU has been incubating this beast for the better part of four years since their 2007 title, and oh Jesus the ceiling isn't supposed to bleed, is it DAMN YOU MUSHROOMS YOU TURN ON US AT THE WORST MOMENTS.

But yes, Saturday sucked in this much detail, and even more when you had to sit through all of it counting the seconds. (In other landmark moments of conference taunting: well played, K-State fans.) 

MEANWHILE IN THE CULT OF LES: You win by committing fewer "Fu-pas" than the other team. We are afraid Florida with Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator starts each game with one large one on the sideline.

POLLS POLLS POLLS POLLS POLLS WE DO ADORE. LSU, Bama, and Oklahoma, and after this weekend's carnage that sounds more than right. Stanford is up there, too, even if their fans don't exactly show up for a blowout of hapless, legless, armless, and harmless Colorado. (Third quarter tree races! Whee!)

THE ACC TAKES ORDERS FROM ESPN. Boy, the ACC better be glad we don't run their CFB programming. We would have totally ordered theme to take the Universidad de la Habana and Pepperdine so we could blow company money on vast condos in both places for our pleasure. In other news re: BC, their AD is a passive-aggressive dick.

THAT SHIT BRAY, AND BRAY MEANS "SAD." Tyler Bray is out six weeks with a broken thumb, meaning the clearly lipread "I don't think it's broken" on Saturday night was a misdiagnosis by Dr. Bray. His replacement will be Matt Simms, son of Phil Simms, who will beat up anyone who says anything bad about his son. Meanwhile, keep TROLL-IN TROLL-IN TROLL-IN WHAATTT---

THIS IS A SIGN. We remain convinced that the Lost Clemson Fan is the human Wazzu flag of marketing schemes, and that he will pop up at various games across America as the season wears on in a brilliant show by Clemson's athletic department. 

UNDEFEATED AND UNAWARE.  Um.

Because coach Ron Zook, who tells his players to keep playing and not worry about the score, took his own advice too literally and was so immersed in the game that he didn’t know the score.

‘‘We were down five, right? Up five, I mean,’’ he said. ‘‘It was 20-13? Up seven?’’

You know that airline ad where they show an embarrassing moment and say, ‘‘Wanna get away?’’ This was it.

‘‘Maybe I didn’t know what the score was,’’ Zook said. ‘‘That’s happened to me before. It’s usually when we’re behind. [This will] give you something to pound us about.’’

2011 can die now, thx.

Reposting from late late last night to get more feedback

Do you think a former player at the top level (NFL, MLB, College athletics, whatever) has in inherent advantage at coaching that sport at a high level, or do you think someone who only play high school or not at all could be just as good, if not better as a coach?

Mike Leach, Paul Johnson, Chip Kelly, and Charlie Weis never played at a college level. I know in baseball it is a LOT worse, that is all nepotism.

I say it's a loss for Catholics

Because the HRE broke up permanently and the Vatican lost SIGNIFICANT power. Protestants got equal legal rights, so yeah, loss for the Catholics.

Also, France lost in the long run because the breakup of the HRE allowed for the creation of Prussia a century down the line.

by Nick Petrilli on Oct 10, 2011 10:24 AM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

HRE broke up permanently?

The what was it still doing hanging around as part of the Grand Alliance during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714)? Yes, it lost territories following Westphalia (and the internal princedoms gainsed a great deal of sovereignty) but it’s final dissoultion wouldn’t occur for close to a century and a half.

by PalmettoTiger on Oct 10, 2011 11:56 AM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

Um, ok, back to the WOSS

The causus belli of the war was the death of the last Spanish Hapsburg, King Charles II (r. 1661-1700). Louis XIV of House Bourbon had wed Charles’ half-sister Maria Teresa and HRE Leopold I, head of House Hapsburg and wed Charles’ sister Margarita Teresa giving both a claim to the Spainish throne, Charles having died leaving no heir of his own.

Attempting to settle the matter peacefully, in 1668 Louis and Leopold agreed that upon the death of King Charles, the Spanish Empire would be divided. Louis would gain The Spanish Netherlands [Belgium], Lombardy, Sardinia, and Navarre, as well as Naples and Sicily (which France had been trying to conquer since the 13th century), plus the Philippines, while the Habsburg claimant to the throne would get Spain proper and the Americas. This seemed an equitable solution to the problem, since each dynasty gained something from the deal, while Spain was united with neither, which would have created an unprecedented superpower.

When Charles finally died in 1700, Louis promptly decided to scrap the agreement, hoping to secure the entire Spanish Empire for his middle grandson, Philip of Anjou, then about 17. Naturally, Leopold, and most of the rest of Europe’s monarchs objected and thus the Two Crowns go to war against the Grand Alliance.

At that point HRE is basically just Austria

It is not anywhere close to resembling what the HRE was. Again, de facto end of the HRE was in 1648.

by Nick Petrilli on Oct 10, 2011 12:22 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

And Hungary as the hapsburgs worked on consolidating power there also

However the other princedoms still maintained a nominal fealty to the HRE. Plus, the HRE is still in the game as Louis and Leopold had planned to divide up the Spainish possessions. When this failed, it sealed the fate of the HRE but to write them off, even a de facto write off, before 1714 is ignoring quite a bit.

I hold the same view with them as I do the idea of the Roman Empire

A lot of people go with the fall as Constantinople as the end of the Roman Empire, but it was basically over in 476 when Rome fell. It was only the Roman Empire in the east in name only. Same with HRE after 1648

Actually, if you look at baseball . . .

. . . a lot of the best managers had either a negligible or no MLB career of their own. Guys that have to grind it out and really study the game to hang on as long as they did tend to really know it as a manager. Sparky Anderson played in the show for only 152 games and was a career .218 hitter. Jim Leyland never made it to the show and was a .222 hitter in the minors.

Especially when framed in the whole debate between getting a liberal arts education and an engineering one. “Trade school” implies that Tech students learn how to fix cars or something, which is about as accurate as the use of [sic] to imply that the University of Georgia is not actually a collection of degree-granting colleges.

Here is from an Amazon review of the text

Robert H. March is a Proffessor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin. The text developed out of the course of the same name. There is not alot of poetry going on here. He aims to make the principles of physics as understandable to a comoner like my self, not initiated into the high scientific mysteries, understandable. There are formulas here, but some things can’t be undertood without them. You don’t need much more then a grasp of highschool algebra to follow along. Presumably even a poet has had this. It is a chronological review of Physics from its inception by the greeks to the curent edge of partical physics. Or at least what we can at least hope to understand. Clearly writen, and a supurb attempt to render this very difficult material understandable. It will take some effort on the reader’s part to understand, but it is well worth doing so. He really can’t make it any simpler without becoming inaccurate.

I actually somewhat enjoyed the ST movie.

Part of my enjoyment was that it was such a total subversion of the source material. Watchmen? Why do you want to rape my past, Zack Snyder? And after the dicktease of arguably the coolest opening credits scene ever filmed?

It's a shot for shot remake of the panels.

GAH! You have a gigantic screen to work with, Zack Snyder. You do not have to confine your shots into a 3 inch by 2 inch graphic novel panel. Do something different. Take advantage of the space offered to you.

Look, I get throwing in an occcasional panel as an easter egg to fans of the novel, but when every fucking moment of camera time is staged exactly as a panel in the novel, you are not putting any thought whatsoever into your work. And Watchmen deserved serious thought.

That's the most interesting critique of that movie I've ever seen.

I don’t necessarily disagree with it, but on the other hand if he’d taken visual risks he’d probably have pissed off more people.

Yeah, probably. SFW. Good art is supposed to piss people off.

You know how you deal with pissing off the fanboys? Make a masterpiece. Moore and Gibbons did that when they took every trope the superhero comic genre had and utterly subverted them in making a brilliant, humanist tour de force.

Fanboy hate is only momentary so long as it's not a complete cockup, though.

Everything George Lucas has done to the Star Wars series since at least 1985 counts as a cockup. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was hated when it came out. When they got to the Dominion War and adding a little moral ambiguity to Starfleet, though, fanboys eventually realized that this was the best stuff done in the Trek universe.

I had a fucking boner after watching the opening credits.

It was imaginative, it summed up 50 years of history in five minutes, and it did it without relying entirely upon someone else’s work. When I saw the credits, I thought I was in for a cinematic masterpiece that could fairly hold its own weight against the source material. Then, all that goodwill was squandered because Zack Snyder shot his originality wad during the credits.

I agree to a certain extent but to call it "an abortion" is gross exaggeration.

I agree, it wasn’t all the movie it could be but it certainly didn’t ‘fail’ the source material in any way.

There was enough of the original RAH political exposition in the movie for my taste. The discussion of why only veterans could vote, the classic “violence DOES settle many things” comment in the civics class and the use of corporal punishment in lieu of an actual court-martial were example enough. You could see from Rico’s family that one could be well-off and not have to be a “citizen.”

Snow Crash would have the same problem as Watchmen did

Somewhat dated as it’s mired in the 80’s (or alternate post-80’s in SC’s case) and too much depth to adequately convey in movie format. After Watchman came out, there were a lot of people coming out of the theater who couldn’t figure out what had happened with Adrian at the end. I can’t imagine them trying to parse Sumerian nam-shubs and linguistic hacking.

Now REAMDE might work as a movie. It’s contemporary and straight forward enough that I think it could work for a general audience.

Costco Tebow is Dead

Long live Costco… we don’t know yet. His name is Tyler Russell and he’ll most likely start. Relf will come in as a change-up, a “wildcat” if you will. God only knows which one will be out there come 4th quarter. But, “Relf on one” does not, apparently, a complete and comprehensive offensive attack make.

P.S. This is all conjecture, but it’s pretty easy conjecture.

Russell is supposed to be pretty good. all- american coming outta high scholl & all that. we’ll just have to see.
i don’t think that the coaching staff has given up on Relf, i think that the recievers have given up on him. He doesnt seem to have the zip on his passes or the accuracy that Russell has. Everyone had been complaining about none of the recievers getting open the past few weeks. Russell comes in & surprise! Everyone is open, all of a sudden! I think they may have been just going through the motions, knowing that Relf was not able to deliver the ball deep (longer than 10 yards).

I'm still amazed and mystified by how bad 3rd row Joe Bauserman plays football

If you have a QB that was 2-14 for 13 yards vs. Miami and 1-10-1 for 13 yards vs. Nebraska, should he even be on your team? Jim Bollman’s post game Q & A was a classic in bullshit. This isn’t going to end pretty.

And we aren’t alone in being disappointed this year. Florida, Florida State (being ‘back’ postponed for another year), Texas, U$C among others all have issues too. But they didn’t have a guy playing after going 3-24 for 26 yards. 3rd row Joe had a QB rating of .9. Thats right, there was a decimal point before the number!

I was just discussing this with a co-worker.

Once the offense gets established and you have a starter with experience, then yes, absolutely, roll in the backups for some reps. But until you have someone you’re comfortable with, it’s really really difficult to find the snaps to give to a backup.

A good chunk of the wedding guests bailed for a hotel bar to watch it. I stuck around for a while. About the time I was going to leave, I got a text informing me that everyone was headed to ground because the game was effectively over. So I stuck around even longer.

By the time I got back to my hotel and turned it on, NU was down by seven and driving. Of course, I was too belligerently drunk to really understand what I was seeing, but Sunday morning it mostly made sense.

Apparently, there's a movie debuting on Lifetime tonight starring Jeanne Tripplehorn.

It’s entitled “Five”.

I refuse to believe this is a movie about surviving breast cancer. It’s got to be a movie about Jeanne’s character’s search for truth and justice for her deceased employees.
