Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 8/25/2011

DON'T MAKE US LIKE YOU. If Charlie Weis just turns the corner and becomes TROLLie Weis for the duration, we may be forced into an emotional state bordering on...oh god...."like."

Screen_shot_2011-08-25_at_9

This is in response to Will Muschamp's presser last night where he said that yes, some starters would likely be losing their spots over a lackluster scrimmage. Watch it and continued to be astonished at the near perfect amalgam of Sabanish inflection and Mack Brown timing that is the Muschampian idiom, and how this actually all didn't sound as terrifying in person as it looked on paper. 

****ADDENDUM THIS IS JASON LIESER TROLLING US AND THE WORLD AAAAHHHHH JASON LIESER YOU GENIUS WELL PLAYED AND WATCH YOUR ASS---the editorial staff.****

BLATANT HOMERISM, CONT'D: Bill previews Florida, and it all sounds just like it did going into the 2010 season minus "Urban Meyer's flex-time work arrangement and Addazio proxy." [Just vomited typing that!] So nothing's changed, and we're looking at a complete crapshoot landing anywhere between five and ten wins. In the grand historical course of things, that should be another blip in a long upward trend, hopefully, but HOLY SHIT LOOK AT OLE MISS.

Ole_miss_trend_medium

 

Your souls, Ole Miss fans, are places of extreme violence and sorrow mixed with moments of irrational and doomed joy. We never knew you had to be so strong just to face another day, and apologize for almost all of the horrible things we said about you.

"WE HAVE HIM PUNT WITH HIS ARM, CALLER." Les Miles handles live radio heckling better than any coach in America, perhaps because he is so calm and collected, and perhaps because he doesn't know what's going on and really was thinking about moving Jordan Jefferson to punter. (EVERY PUNT IS A FAKE PUNT.) Meanwhile, future punter Jefferson had the police search his house yesterday, presumably looking for a shoe to match a footprint left on someone in the Shady's parking lot brawl.

Bonus LSU crime notice! The police are formally investigating a case where a fight with football players Zach Mettenberger and Sam Montgomery found themselves on the wrong end of a gun earlier this year. Repeating that: the LSU players were on the wrong end of the gun, i.e. the barrel end. (Via.)

NEVIN SHAPIRO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A DICK. He started young. He finished strong. Remember: being a dick doesn't happen overnight. It is the culmination of years of work, and of countless unsuspecting and defenseless people being punched in the face. (And of course his flag football team was "Public Enemies." Of course it was.)

Oh, and 12 Miami players may be ineligible for the opener against Maryland. The Butch-er's Dozen, if we can give a name to the act of suspending a good chunk of your roster immediately before game one. #RIPButchDavis

THIS IS BEFORE THE SHOT GIRLS ARRIVED, WE'RE CERTAIN. Dana Holgorsen talks up the troops in Morgantown in what was the calm before the storm. Oliver Luck can't funnel an entire sixer of Natty Lite? Oh, you thought wrong, sir, just like you thought wrong that you would never need an Andrew Luck matryoshka doll.

COMPUTERS EVEN GET SMARTER WATCHING FOOTBALL.  They have a name for this program already, and it is called the pattern reading Cover 2 Nick Saban 3-4 defense. (Via.)

GOD DOES NOT ORGANIZE DEPTH CHARTS. Someone please remind Lache Seastrunk of this, and that every team ever has a white uniform variation.

THAT IS A QUALITY WHIP. Virginia Tech, stand up.

COWBOYS NEED LOVE, TOO. A series of Big 12 marital aids may not stave off a divorce of the conference's stormy plural marriage, but it is good for a few laughs along the way.

LES MILES SEES THE WORLD LIKE THIS. All the time, every day.

THE ONION DOES NOT WRITE FICTION. One day Brian Kelly will get them over that hump, but until he does Notre Dame will continue to lose to Notre Dame.

ETC: Purchased immediately and then repurchased just to make sure.

Press K!

/brool story co

So, I remember we had it in our computer lab at school, back in the 3rd grade. Problem was, it was hard to get through the game in the short time we had in there allowed for playing it. When one of the guys in my class finally gets to the final boss, the entire class gathers round to see the end. Which is how we all learned what happens if you failed to show the princess her respect.

Wasn’t till much later that I ever worked out why the key to press was K, of all things.

We had the time limitation problem ourselves

There was a day camp I went to as a little kid that had a computer lab full of IIEs. Each period was something like 30 or 40 minutes. It was often just a race to see who could get the farthest.

The other game we played was Oregon Trail, of course.

Time was a bit of an issue. You learned to hunt fast and to stop when you shot something big because you were going to need every bit of time you had to even have a shot at finishing. I actually won a school wide competition they did at the end of the year. Looking back I’d guess it was only because I’d played fast enough in class that I got a chance to go down the river several times where some of the other kids competing had probably never gotten that far before and wiped out.

You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it’s no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies’ digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don’t want to go sievin’ through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, “as greedy as a pig”.

My only argument is you're stupid.

NORTHEAST HURRICANE WATCH Y'ALL

Seriously, people around here are really starting to freak out. There’s talk of possible hurricane force winds in my area, I’m about 10 miles from Midtown Manhattan. No threat of storm surge obviously, but theres a lot of places around here very flood prone. Me and my friend actually contemplated going to Hoboken and riding out the storm at Stevens Institute so we could see the river act badass but I don’t think that will be possible any longer. Everyone around here is really hoping the storm hits the Carolina’s before hitting here and doesn’t take a direct track to NYC without hitting any land and retaining a lot of strength. People are worried that it could be as bad or worse than the Long Island Express Hurricane back in 1938. Best case scenario people talk about now is a Hurricane Gloria scenario.

Having been thru two, here's my advice

Taping “X” on your window doesn’t really help, it just help you find all the glass shards in one place. And it leaves residue on your windows forever.

Don’t evacuate unless you’re required to (or you’re within 10 miles of the coast or so), the evacuation is almost always worse than the storm itself.

Have an interoir room (no windows) available to hang out in for a few hours if shit starts to get real.

Be prepared for no electricity, i was out for 3 weeks after Ike!

FIll up your tub so that you’ll have water to flush the toilet in case water goes out. My water was only out for about a day though.

Have drinking water, radio, batteries, candles, card games (you will use all of this if power goes out, it gets really boring)

Good luck!

There are better and easier methods to protect windows and doors, but they are more expensive, and certainly not a good option when staring down the barrel of a storm in the next 24-48 hours. This will get you going without having to drill into your siding. Also, screws, not nails.

Hurricane Andrew taught us that once the garage door failed, it lead to roof failure. If you park your car in the garage, I would back it up so that it actually touches the garage door for additional bracing. The door will pulse dramatically and you want to help support it from blowing in. There are braces you can buy that support the garage door from the inside.

That looks like it massively underestimates everything. Manhattan is basically fucking flat. The storm surge would inundate EVERYTHING, not just the two city blocks on each side. and not above midtown. Seriously, wtf?

That was basically my thought

I’ve only been to Manhattan once, but I didn’t notice much in the way of hilliness.

This is a little higher end than the EM stuff I do, but it seems like this only makes sense if they’re assuming that Long Island and Staten Island are going to block the surge rather than funnel it into Manhattan.

Well, it looks like

Irene may be beginning an eyewall replacement cycle (basically a new, broader ring of thunderstorms chokes off and replaces the old eyewall, creating a “new” eye; the storm’s central pressure briefly rises during this time before re-strengthening occurs). However, this may be great timing, as it’s passing over the Northern Bahamas, where there’s a good number of people and where the water was warm enough (upper 80s) to allow for rapid strengthening, and a huge drop in pressure and rise in wind speed that could have taken it to Cat 4 strength as it approached North Carolina. Let’s hope that really is the case and that we’ll be dealing with, at worst, a Cat 1 or 2 by the time it reaches the northeast.

Category at landfall doesn't really matter.

If it was strong before, it’ll still be pushing a large storm surge ahead of it, and in Irene’s case, a large wind field can make a larger storm surge, too. See: Hurricane Ike.

by softbatch on Aug 25, 2011 11:31 AM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

Yeah, I know.

At least the winds at the core won’t be as high (if the eye makes landfall at all). And yeah, it’s a huge hurricane in terms of area, so it’s going to generate a great deal of surge and a lot of rain (and probably inland flooding, even if it does turn back to sea as the models suggest). Katrina was another good example, since it was only a Cat 3 at landfall, but was a large hurricane and devastated the coast with its surge and the flooding rains it caused, in addition to still having Cat 3 winds. (And spawning tornadoes, one of the strongest of which missed my dad’s office by less than a mile. Completely wiped out a few buildings down the street. F2.)

There are only 4 ways out going west from NYC

The Holland and Lincoln Tunnels (Both go to either I-95 or Route 3 West)
GWB (I-80 West)
And the Tappan Zee.

Here are the issues. The Lincoln and Holland may flood TODAY from storms that are passing through today. Also, they are not high volume roadways, and would require reversing lanes. The GWB is the highest volume way out, and the best. The Tappan Zee is very far north of the city but the least congested.

The issue here though, is that a lot of the population doesn’t fucking drive. More than half of everyone that would need to get out take trains and buses. Buses have the same issues that the cars do. The trains? There’s only one fucking train tunnel out, and two stations. You’re either going to Penn Station in Newark, or Secacus Junction and you would need to then find a way out of THERE too.

Going East is a no go, and going north will only put you further in the path of the storm.

North at least gets you inland, though.

That would help immensely. If you can stay on the left side of the storm’s path, you’re in better shape because the storm’s forward motion is opposite the wind (that’s why the right side, and especially the right front quadrant, pretty much always has a larger hurricane-force wind radius).

Consider

Houston is 60 miles inland from Galveston…plus…Direct hits to Houston are rare. So, most people don’t evacuate Houston when hurricanes get close. Even when lesser ones hit Galveston; Galveston people just head to Houston. It pretty much takes a large category hurricane to directly hit Houston before large numbers decide to hit the road. With that storm, it happened, and apparently nobody had thought it through. The scene on the highways in all directions was ridiculous. Now they have a plan and open the counterflow lanes towards SA, Austin, and Dallas for miles and miles.

*And I was mistaken. I meant Hurricane Rita (in 2005), not Ike (2008). So they have had that plan for the last 5 or 6 years.

Rita was a special case because it was right after Katrina

So everyone in Houston who’d never been through a hurricane before was all freaked uot that the same thing would happen. There were people in the Woodlands (100+ mi inland) “evacuating” it was crazy. I stay in my place near downtown and the whole city was a ghost town. People who tried to leave were stuck on the highway for days, a bunch of people were killed when a bus caught fire from idleing for so long. For Ike, nobody left unless they had to since the Rita evac had been such a disaster.

I had to laugh yesterday when Ed Cunningham suggested that da U play their guys in question

because it wouldn’t be fair to Al Golden and they were going to get hammered anyway. That kind of genius analysis isn’t available just anywhere folks! That is Bristol at its finest! This is the same crew that wanted the Death Penalty for Ohio State. I think that Miami would want to cooperate as much as possible to keep the penalties from being more than a decade in length.

But God will also pull you out of the storm before it happens. I felt like something was about to go down, and God wanted me to get up out of there.

Some will read NCAA implications into Lache Seastrunk’s statement, but I would submit that Lache is just a big Billy Joel fan. And as everyone on EDSBS knows, that would mean that he literally thought a storm was coming to Eugene, because Billy Joel doesn’t do metaphor.

I have no idea what this is referring to. Maybe the fact that we were competitive against LORDS OF CHAOS and Miami won’t be against the Koopa Troopa.

Im sorry for posting and running

Had stuff to do. In the spirit of brotherhood and football being 7 days away, i wont get pissy with anyone but simply allow me to retort!

Fearless leader, referred to Miami having 12 guys out was like UNC last year. HE called it a " Butch er’s Dozen". I was pointing out the difference of UNC/LSU and Da U/Maryland. Vastly different, thats all.

Indeed a beautiful place but also

very, very impoverished, as is a large portion of the country that doesn’t directly reap the benefits of tourism. They were actually attempting to repair the roof of one of the churches in Gregory Town which had been dangerously faulty as a result of the last hurricane that went through. Needless to say, they are back to square one.

Oh yeah, I understand they weren't at a resort

Neither was I. I’ve been all over Eleuthera and yeah most of it is pretty poor, but the entire place is unbelieveably beautiful.

Okay

 For finer dining, I recommend anything in the Short North, which is a nice little area north of the city off High Street. You’ll be pretty hard-pressed to find something you don’t like there.

For lunch, definitely recommend Schmidt’s Sausage Haus in German Village, south of downtown, if you’re into German stuff. There’s also Thurmans in German Village, which has delicious hamburgers and other assorted lunch foods. Ohio Deli is delicious as well – I highly recommend the roast beef. WARNING: LARGE PORTIONS.

There’s a crappy chain here called “Zippy’s” that I’m convinced copied Skyline and uses it for their chili and their spaghetti sauce.
