Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 7/1/2011

SAM THE EAGLE IS KIND OF BALLER IN HIS OWN WAY. Remember that in life any villain can instantly be a ally when paired with a greater villain. So on this July 4th weekend, let us salute the Sam the Eagle of college football, Jim Delany, for telling Mark Shapiro to go to hell. He did it for the Big Ten. He did it for America.

Sam02_medium

An amiable session in which the Big Ten and ESPN cleaned up "housekeeping matters" — schedules and announcers — took a nasty turn at the one-hour mark. That's when talk turned to a contract extension, a negotiating session that went nowhere. Fast.

"The shortest one I ever had," Delany told the Tribune. "He lowballed us and said: 'Take it or leave it. If you don't take our offer, you are rolling the dice.' I said: 'Consider them rolled.' "

 

DELANY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, BABY. Thanks to Rotel and Barbasol he got them, and now the Big Ten Network is the single largest industry in the Midwest. We just made that stat up, and you know it's fictional because Buffalo Wild Wings, pawn shops, and breweries are all still open in the region and doing just fine.

BUT AT LEAST YOU AND GEORGE O'LEARY ARE STILL BFF. Rather than be human and settle with the family of a football player who died during drills, and thus avoiding public embarrassment and the hiring of a doctor paid to testify that you couldn't die of sickle cell treatment, UCF opted to fight the claims of Ereck Plancher's family in court. They now owe the Planchers $10 million and will appeal because when you've gone this far down Asshole Turnpike, you might as well see where the road ends. Dr. George O'Leary's is done, and the rest is formalities and Mike Bianchi trolling so hard his teeth fall out. 

OOOHHHHHH WAH AH AH AH. Can a coach truly ever have the "interim" tag off if he's going to appear in public in an Affliction shirt? Luke Fickell of Ohio State is going to try and see if he can, but look for the final answer upside down at the bottom of the page to find out!

Up1hm_medium

 (via Anthony Lima.) Answer: ¡ou

Meanwhile, as a bar owner in Ohio, bars are about to get so Wild West, brah. It's okay: remember that when everyone runs out of ammo the swingin' Western Bar Brawl breaks out, and then people start breaking chairs over each other's heads, and then you wind up for a punch and--HA! It's your buddy, who was about to punch you! Then you dust each other's shoulders off, smile, and then get shot in the face because it's not like people can't go to the car and reload. (Shhh, we know. You can put up a sign barring firearms from your place and get around the line. You're smart and can point out obvious things on the internet that kill jokes! Yay you!)

WE'RE COOL WITH THE DOJ SAYS BCS IN BS PSA FROM DC. Bill Hancock's right, because the DOJ seriously can't be serious about investigating the BCS, but he's right for all the wrong reasons, and that's a pretty nice summary of everything good about the BCS: It's all good totally on merits it cannot claim, and should not.

WITH A QUICKNESS: We quite enjoyed the use of the word "fucksaw" in this piece. Kentucky's new uniforms are a pleasant variation, and that's what you get with the Wildcats' unis since blue and white is really hard to screw up. (At worst they look like a natural gas company-sponsored Arena League team.) Alabama and Virginia Tech will open up 2013 against each other in what is a pleasant rivalry of short and very intense coaches. This is entirely unrelated to college football, but seriously the McCourts are human filth.

I liked the end of the Delaney piece:
Delany said Shapiro’s recollection of the note isn’t accurate: "That’s not how I would express myself. What I wrote was tongue-in-cheek. I believe it was: ‘Enjoy the champagne while enjoying the network.’

He didn’t even have to spring for the champagne.

Worked in a bar through law school

my nightly shift beer changed that and helped me acquire the taste. I’m slowly coming around on some of the better beers.

Since we’re in a shaming ourselves mood today, that beer was also Bud Select. Boo me if you want, but when you restock the coolers with warm stuff from the back, you take what’s cold, and that was Bud Select. I think me and one other guy were all that drank it. In the world.

I saw a great documentary on Punk

a couple of years back. Couldn’t have been on History Channel, so probably PBS. Anyway, loads of great interviews, covered lots of ground and bands. At the end, they had asked all their interviewees the same question, something along the lines of “When did punk hit its high-water mark” or “when did punk break it big”. The most most interesting answer was from Talking Heads’ David Byrne, who stated bluntly, "Well, when “Nevermind” went #1."

Sucky popular music is the rule and not the exception in most decades.

I have expounded at length on this topic over the years

Arguably, “actual music” distinctly diverged from “pop” the second the Beatles released “Rubber Soul”. Since that moment, there have only been two brief windows during which the two re-converged: the Arena Rock era of the mid-late 70s, and then after the Disco interruption, the New Romantic movement of the early ’80s. Outside of that, there has always been a distinct difference between the top 40 charts and, you know, actual music that non-vapid people listen to.

I like Ben Folds Five. 311 was the precursor to Linkin Park and their ilk. And Blink was just plain fun, I think they realized they were awful song writers and weren’t that great of musicians (until Travis Parker was on the drums), so they just made shit that people liked and didn’t take themselves seriously.

If I hear a crappy artist talk about his ‘craft’ I immediately start laughing.

I admit U2's early 90's work has grown on me over the years and I am not as repulsed.

But “Rattle & Hum” was self-indulgent crap. And, also, I ran into the Edge in a restaurant two months after Hurricane Katrina down here in NOLA (his table and ours were the only occupied tables in the place). He was in town – without any fanfare at all – to start raising money for musicians who lost their instruments in the flood. They’re good people all around.

He should be summarily punished for ripping off and then not acknowledging the rip off

He steals a Metallica song for American Badass and then proceeds to list all the bands he like “Skynard, Seager, Limp, Korn, the Stones, David Allan Coe, No Show Jones” and doesn’t mention Metallica.

Then he does the same thing with All Summer Long. Steals Warren Zevon and lists bands he used to listen to, but fails to mention Warren

No mention of Hip-hop and/or rap

So I’ll kick it off and say Drake and Lil’ Wayne should probably die horrible deaths. I’m not a huge rap fan, but I do like certain acts (mostly based on if it showed up in an awesome YouTube montage relating to football, also Outkast). These two “rappers” need to go now.

I regret that I have but one computer to troll this website.

Yeah, but these are rock bands.

I guess for the purposes of the tournament we could include Lil Wayne’s “rock” album as a #15 seed. What a travesty THAT was.

If you hate Wayne, listen to Tha Carter II. Actual concepts, flow, development of rhyme scheme…that’s why people listened to him in the first place.

Now he’s putting out shit like “Lollipop”. Sigh.

I had a few in college.

Had one that was around 6 feet tall. And yes, the chamber was 2:1 to the barrel (i’m an engineer damn it). Dual grill ignitions (for better burn). Also had a 3’ one for scaring people since it shot flames.

We used it for beer can/bottle bowling.
Rules: drink. Place cans inside of 3×3×3′ box against cinderblock wall. walk across street. aim. fire. lulz. We got really drunk one night and shot about a bag into the air for no reason. A week later we found out there was a bunch of random potatos in the street about 3 streets over. I kind of wish we had done it down a street so I could have figured out exactly how much poewr we were playing with.
