Around SBN: Is Adebayor About To Become A Full-Time Spur?

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 4/18/2011

THIS WAS A HIGHLIGHT FOR TENNESSEE QUARTERBACKS THIS WEEKEND. Your instructions in the future, QB Justin Worley of the Tennessee Volunteers, are to lay on the ground and hope someone trips over you on reverses.

This really was a highlight for the Vols' qb corps on Saturday. Tyler Bray went 5/30 for 122 yards in the scrimmage and no one should worry about this because it was insanely windy in Neyland on Saturday, the offensive line was patchworky and couldn't block gnat farts, and also because Tyler Bray is clearly the kind of idiot-genius qb who stinks in practices and who in game time turns panic into blind, inspired instinct. Spring practice is now concluded for the Vols, who can now turn toward the important business of firing Mike Hamilton.

MICHIGAN RAISED MONEY FOR CHARITY. THIS IS A THEME. Michigan's scrimmage was sloppy, but it was profitable in the charitable sense as it raised $350,000 for C.S. Mott's Children's Hospital. (HINT: THIS IS A THEME WE WILL REVISIT LATER THIS MORNING.)

WOAAAAAHHHH OHHHH NO WE'RE NOT WAR CHANTING WE'RE WARNING YOU. The Seminoles also suffered from an offensive line shortage, and thus spent most of their spring game watching their signalcallers praying to both mainline and alternate gods for protection and salvation. Lots of nice smashy pictures by Tomahawk Nation were taken, though, with most of the smashy bits involving quarterbacks receiving bear hugs from affectionate defensive linemen.

ALABAMA HAD A VERY SPECIAL GUEST.  In all his sexy glory, the Snake beheld A-Day in Tuscaloosa, a Spring Game that in true Sabanish fashion featured a lot of defense and a boring, choking offensive drive to run out the clock at the end. 92,000 plus attended on a beautiful day when Talladega's warmups were also a possible destination, though Sunday's 'Dega festivities were sponsored by Gene Chizik's mike and babe-handling skills. (Trooper Taylor was not allowed to wave a towel as the white flag for the final lap, and that is a damn shame.)

Alabama were the attendance champs again WOOO LET'S UNVEIL A STATUE OF A DUDE WITH BANGS AND A SHAKER SHOWIN' UP NAHSHUNL FUNYUNSHIP---

SOOOOWEEEEE HAVE A QUARTERBACK. Tyler Wilson looked smooth enough in a leisurely cruise to victory for his side in the Arkansas game, both because he is very good and because there was no blitzing in a high scoring 45-14 intrasquad blowout. (With plays like Shallow Cross and Ronnie Wingo to hand off to, he should look good.)

SO YOU'RE SAYING OUR DEFENSE IS GOOD OKAY. The offense still has no clear running back, but Notre Dame's 3-4 looked snarly in the Blue and Gold game thanks mostly to the immovable object labeled "Louis Nix III" at nose tackle.

IN PETRINO'S OLD RENTAL SPACE: Defense dominated the scrimmage, but Sunny Will Stein looked at ease under center and in the pocket, and for that we give him five Will Steins up on the weekend.

STORM JOHNSON, REPORTING FROM THE SCENE OF MY OWN AWESOME BURSTING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. Miami has running backs in Lamar Miller, who tore away on 70 yard and 64 yard TD runs in the Canes' spring game, and Storm Johnson, who is named "Storm Johnson." That's all they have, but Al Golden is happy to run the ball 55 times a game, and will likely have to do so with Jacory Harris and Stephen Morris each throwing two picks on the day. (We repeat: Lamar Miller is faaaaaaaaaaaaast.)

PLEASE TURN THE GRAVITY BACK ON. Nebraska's Taylor Martinez looked spotty as a pocket passer in the Red/White Game in Lincoln, but with the gravity off in the stadium everyone's going to have an adjustment period.

WHAT IS THAT NUMBER IN FRONT OF THE EIGHT? Pitt's spring game was also a blowout, but teams scoring "points" is a novel fun thing for Panthers fans, at least.

OH, BY THE WAY WE'RE TACKLING LIVE NOW BLAMMO-- Western Michigan was tackling quarterbacks in the second half of their spring game, and may not have adequately warned the quarterbacks because getting nailed in the backfield came as a bit of a surprise to them. No one expects the Spring Game Concussquisition!

GEORGIA RECRUITS WEREN'T STEALING, THEY WERE SHOWING THEIR DESIRE AND HUSTLE.  Three UGA recruits--and being 2012 recruits by all reports, they will not count in the Fulmer Cup--stole shit from UGA's locker room on a recruiting visit. Evil Richt has thoughts on this, but they're all in this crazy Cthulhu speak that we assume means you'll be dissected slowly by undying Elder Gods on a crystal slab for all of eternity. You might also receive an immediate scholarship bid from Ole Miss. Either one is a pretty dicey proposition, really.

HALLO BLACK HEART GOLD HANDS. Iowa may have a new receiver, and that's significant even if the balls he's catching won't be the red, white, and blue balls of pure patriotism the now-departed Ricky Stanzi massaged into the lucky hands of Hawkeyes receivers.

BLUE TURF HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS. Boise's spring game was relatively exclamation point-free save for Trevor Harman swinging the controller just so, filling the entire oval with orange kicking power, and blasting an 80 yard punt in the Broncos' spring affair.  Geraldo Hiwat looked nice at wideout, too, an area of need for Boise and a bonus for fans who will now get to bellow "GERAAAAAAAAALDOOOOO" on big plays. Try it now in your living room or cubicle. Trust us: your boss won't mind. #antisocialbehaviorisfun

BOSTON COLLEGE CONTINUES THEIR TORRID OFFENSIVE PACE. One TD in the Spring Game? Yes, that's completely normal here.

Football player crime in Athens keeps on getting updated as well. with facts.

There has been absolutely Zero proof of anyone getting paid here since Eric Ramsey in the early 90s. When was the last time a Bulldog was convicted?

 The AJC itself reported today that UGA historically recruits Carver very heavily. These guys are friends with a number of people on the UGA roster and incoming players.

I just want to know when UGA is going to get in trouble for creating a “gameday-like experience” in this case.

Well done with the "creating a gameday like experience" line

I’ll admit that I laughed

But your upset that people are talking about Auburn paying players with “Zero proof” when you say “these guys are friends with a number of people on the UGA roster”.

Both accusations are probably true, but you can’t get upset with us for joking about Auburn paying folks and then point out that “these guys are friends with a number of people on the UGA roster”.

Either they are both fair game or neither are. Cause you are correct that neither are 100% verified facts.

and they can get pretty tippy extended that high, especially if it’s a scissor lift. Articulated lifts are far more solid.

The 2 other lifts they had that didn’t tip look about 20 times better. Give me JLG or SkyJack any day (Those also extend past 40’ FWIW). Also the Marklift he was on only has an extension height of… well… 40 feet. Fully extended on a shady lift with 40 mph gusts? No thank you.

Although articulate can get hairy at full extension

There four points are spread wider and have a larger majority of the weight near the ground, thereby keeping you more stable.

Scissors are just bad engineering unless you are not worried about conditions and working directly above yourself.

I saw the tweets, and hindsight being both very morbid and 20/20, yes, they look bad. But a student manager or other staff for the football team probably thought some variation on “It is what it is” and got up there to do their job.

I was in the right lane at a red light. Some lady was coming down the center lane, and I noticed she wasn’t slowing down at all. People were turning left. At the last second she hit the person turning left near the back of their car spinning it onto the other side of the road and her car slid to hit the car behind the one that was hit hardest. I got out to help, and do the witness thing. She wasn’t drunk or anything. Just stupid.

because I know how awesome the football fans are in Alabama and the South in general. The insane cheering sections are a major reason I love watching SEC games. BUT I’ll bet Bama wasn’t selling out their spring game on a regular basis prior to Saban being there.

With one exception, I think Nebraska has topped 60,000 at the Spring Game every year since 1996. And it’s usually 75,000-plus. (I should know, I’ve been to plenty of them.)

And they’ve all required a least a nominal fee — $5, $10 a pop. It’s turned into a nifty fundraiser, not to mention a great “Plus One” athletic contest with a built-in excuse to get out of the house, drink beer, and tailgate with buddies.

Official attendance figures are what they are

Lots of people think “official” implies “more likely to be accurate/authentic.” Often, they’re wrong.

I remember a couple years ago someone compared assist rates for college basketball teams from official box scores. For all teams but 1, teams had the same assist rates at home as away. Texas A&M miraculously had 30% more assists than they did at home games (with A&M officials doing the box scores) than they did in away games (with those schools’ officials doing the box scores). It wasn’t just a propensity to award more assists, either: the opponent’s assist rates remained the same at A&M as they did at home.

Well, it's also good for little kids.

I know several people who don’t go to regular season games because they can’t find babysitters, and they can’t take the kids because they get fidgety and cranky. Spring games are good because they don’t last as long, and the kids get the thrill of going to a game in the big house. At $5-$10 a head, it’s comparable to going to the movies as a family. A friend of mine has 3 boys under 8 years old, so the spring game is the closest they’re getting to a real game at Bryant-Denny until the kids get jobs.

I mean, shit, Bama’s fans are so passionate they claim 8546w234623 national championships, Nebraska’s have sold out every home game for 50 years, Ohio State fans regularly sell out stadiums across the country when their team is on the road or in a bowl game. Everybody knows these schools have fanbases that love football, and I’ll never get why people get their panties so twisted by spring game attendances

agreed. it is really good, but it is lemonade.

took the kids there when we in town for a swim meet. my littlest asked where was the bama stuff.

It is an essential ingredient in the Pat Dye.

I forget which one of you gentlemen/scholars came up with it, but it’s basically an Arnold Palmer. Replace your powdered lemonade with Toomer’s and the sweet tea with bourbon, and you have a Pat Dye.

Welp, suppose I should start paying attention to WMU Bronco football now

If memory serves, Carder was actually a halfway decent QB last year. Looking forward to attending TUESDAY NIGHT MACTION this fall.

It's not the track-based events at Talladega that kept people away...

It was sleeping off the alcohol induced coma from staying up all night drinking from strange kegs and watching girls “dance” on stripper poles mounted to tow hitches on RVs out in the campgrounds.

Wait that still goes on all over there?

I definitely spent the last four years at the wrong campsite then.

FUCK CLEMSON from the otherside of the world!

I guess I’ll be the latest of the Commentariat to be embedded in a foreign country as I’m currently in Dubai and in four hours headed up to Baghdad to spend the next year being a sleazy contractor. Minuses: war zone, no CFB (the Baghdad Bombardiers lost their biggest booster a couple years ago), no alcohol (FFFFFUUUU) and my internet usage will be tracked so probably very little time spent here amongst you fine fellows and ladies of the Commentariat. Plus: lots and lots of tax free moneyz (make it on dem hoes!).

But I’ll try and check in as often as possible and wish I could take pics but I’m not aloud to have any kind of cameras at the site I’m going to be working. Anyway, all the best to y’all, FUCK CLEMSON, HATE IOWA & WAR EAGLE!

Safe travels dude. Make lots of money, and come home safe.

Best of luck and stay safe.

I’m mildly surprised that you passed security clearance being a commenter here. That’s good, I think.

I actually had an active top secret clearance from when I was trying to get into the Corps so my processing was expedited…

God Bless, Man

Some of my best friends from Afghanistan are contractors. Not sure what kind of work you do, but good luck to you.

I was lucky, EDSBS was never blocked and I had wireless access in my office, so I could have my personal laptop on next to my work computers. We were, shall we say, lax in the info sec area because we had an international office. You might be just fine.

Stay safe, keep your head down, and (gulps, can’t believe I’m saying this) War Eagle for your service. (Yes, dirty nasty contractors serve too)

About the only great time to be a KSUer under Prince...

… because the other times were simply AMAZING. Offensive prowess… we put up 5 TDs on Oklahoma (never mind giving up 55 points in one half). A player draft for the spring game. Open spring practices! OH MY! A BID TO THE TEXAS BOWL!!! #RonP4ReturnToKSU
