THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/5/2012

PrintTHE DAY, SIR. THE DAY IS YOURS.
We would suggest that the Orange Bowl was an asswhipping out of the Bible, but a quick check reveals nothing this graphic or terrible in the Bible, and there are some horrendously graphic and terrible things in the Holy Scripture. (There's a recipe for casu marzu in Deuteronomy, after all, and this was more disturbing by far.) You have to be both perfect and lucky to drop 35 points on a team in a quarter, which West Virginia was in being flawless offensively while helping Clemson unveil the most Clemson play ever, the 99 yard and 35 inch fumble return culminating in the Obie tackle as seen above.
THE BLOOD. MY GOD, THE BLOOD EVERYWHERE. Shakin' The Southland is arguing that Kevin Steele might not have the right to coach defense at Clemson anymore. Some coaches have argued that the Air Raid system is wildly unpopular among coaches because it can end careers. These coaches are named things like Kevin Steele. Holly's piece is a contrast, all giddy WVU players and the image of a program that if it can continue getting the three zillion reps per practice they get will be a force in the Big 12 in coming years. (See this for the zillion reps.)
Smoking Musket is all kinds of OMG right now, and why the hell not. Last night's asskicking was epochal. You shall not see its kind for years, not because West Virginia is not very good, but because last night was an instance of the universe bending an elbow, downing 83 shots of grain alcohol, and then depositing the whole fiery byproduct from its starry gullet onto the heads of Clemson. The universe power-puked hell on you last night, Clemson. There was absolutely nothing to be done about it.
LSU FANS EXCEL AT DRINKING, YOU SAY? The $120,000 beer tab is not a warning sign, but a point of pride. See the best clip from this piece on Tigah fans and their continued stress testing of the human liver.
Rather than making a push for temperance, LSU is considering a plan to cash in on the situation.
FAAAAAR...WE'VE BEEN TRAVELING FAAAAARRRRR....
THE PAUL RHOADS GIF WAS COMING AND YOU KNEW IT. And we still laughed anyway, but as Wide Right Natty Lite and Black Heart Gold Pants prove every day, people from Iowa are far funnier than you might ever suspect.
A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL IS OFF THE STREETS. Mostly because Akron hired him, but also because he paid his tickets.
AFTER THE JUMP. Our new hero, and other assorted moments of terror and glory from the Miami Massacre last night.

by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Jan 5, 2012 10:27 AM EST up reply actions
Cool story, bro:
The “pre-Dooley G” should more accurately be called the “Johnny Griffith G.” During virtually all of Wally Butts’ tenure, Georgia had plain silver helmets and, before that, just plain brown leather helmets. Johnny Griffith added the “G” during his 3-year forgetful tenure.
So, actually, the plain, blank silver helmet would be more historic.

Unsure
The five star all everything dual threat guy redshirted this past year, so it’s going to be a competition between him and the seniors Prince (mainly a runner) and Brehaut (mainly a passer). You are our home opener and by far the toughest game on our early schedule, so hopefully the stadium will be pretty full.

16-10 at the half.
Not to mention that we stopped you on 4th down the drive before Vince made the best play ever in football history.
lol silly angry Texas fans...
the point I was trying to make was that neither defense could prevent the offenses. If we had another minute, it would of been us holding the trophy and not the other way around.
That's funny, I recall being scared shitless that Bush was going to break one.
Before Leinart took ALL DAY to throw a ball away and end the game.

USC ran out of time
Probably because they wasted a timeout on a 2 point conversion. Giggle. It was fun watching Pete Carroll butcher the endgame.
Excpet, you know...
…the first half. And on 4th down on USC’s second to last possession.
But hey, those facts and shit are unimportant.

Ah Clemson, never drink the Squeeze. All is explained now.
There are many instances of people drinking Sterno to become intoxicated. The earliest documented case[citation needed] is of notable bluesman Tommy Johnson in his song Canned Heat Blues which was recorded in 1928.3 The practice is said to have become popularized during the Great Depression in hobo camps, or “jungles”, when the Sterno would be squeezed through cheesecloth or a sock and the resulting liquid mixed with fruit juice to make “Jungle Juice” or “Squeeze”.4

I'm convinced the last two days are a clear reckoning from COTG for allowing Clemson into the Orange Bowl.
First, he broke the hearts of the Hokies for letting the Tigers get into the bowl game.
Then, the used the Mountaineers against the Tigers as he once used the Israelites against the heathens in Canaan.
/weeps in despair at the fury of COTG
I've been working on a Curse of Marcus Vick theory
The stomp game being the last competitive bowl game we won and all.
COTG viewing us as the lesser evil than Kiffykins at 09 Tennessee actually fits really well into this concept.

My only regret from last night
is that I was never able to find the current thread from my phone, so that I could properly express my disbelief and joy at what was unfolding before me. When Darwin Cook took off from the pile with the 99-yard TD fumble return, I was sure the refs would blow it dead. When they didn’t, I told my nephew “This is the sort of thing that HAPPENS to WVU in games, not something they do to others.”
I must have been doing it wrong with th app, but all I could find were the fanposts, not fanshots. The front page never showed a new thread, and the one link that I did find didn’t work — there seemed to be confusion about where everyone was jumping to. By the time I got home everyone had gone and there was no one to share the joy with.
And such joy there is, too.

No, you actually use it.
It comes with 124 proof rye whiskey, that you put in and age in the barrel. I’ve heard of other people aging tequila, grain alcohol, wine, etc. in it. Just wanted to see if anyone here has done it.

Thats the thing, because of the difference in surface area to volume
you only have to age it for a few weeks to a few months. I have read that it is really quite easy to over-age, so you need to check it every few days.

Isn't Tech's band already half GSU students or something like that?
by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on Jan 5, 2012 12:57 PM EST up reply actions
Just to set the record straight...
… Georgia Tech has no music program, so all of the Tech students in the band are basically hobbyists from an academic standpoint.
Also, due to lack of numbers of students who are interested in doing that, they have historically allowed students of all kinds who don’t attend the school to participate in the band. They have, in the past, even allowed some Atlanta high school seniors to take part.
By and large, though, Georgia Tech band students are drawn from college students at Tech and other schools in Atlanta. And since Georgia State is the largest school in Atlanta with (historically) no football program, the largest portion of the non-Tech students in the band are typically from Georgia State.
Therefore, it is technically incorrect to say that half the Tech band is made up of GSU students. (But it sure is fun.)

Most universities don't seem to agree.
With the new “priority points” program for season tickets, my degree is worth 5 points. For each $100 I donate, I get a point. So my degree is worth about $500 when it comes to season tix.
Obviously worth much more than that to me, but it comes down to dollars and cents for the school. I think my experience at the school makes my fandom more meaningful to ME, but I can’t presume that someone else’s non-alum experience doesn’t make it just as special to them.

Plenty of fields where that kind of status matters.
Not always a deal-breaker, but these people are going to know all the big-named colleges (even the smaller, liberal arts ones) and probably be inclined to favor graduates from these schools.
From what I’ve heard, this is the norm overseas, especially in Asia. There’s a reason so many international students flock to certain schools.
DC is primarily a power culture, but second after that is status.
And private liberal arts schools are status.

I think Phocion is talking about fans opinions about what a school should do

I have opinions about what UK should do academically, even though I didn’t go there. But I love UK and I am a Kentucky citizen, so I think opinion has as much merit as an alum (unless it’s things you really need to have been at the school to comprehend)
I really wish UK would invest more in technology related degrees. So much potential for creating a large tech community in Lexington
Oh that's fair
Only reason I care about UCLA as a school is because dad has worked there since I was negative 6
Certainly less valuable.
But there are plenty of non-alums who are connected enough to the school to have a legitimate interest in the success of the school as a whole, not just the athletic program.

Location matters too.
You might be from one area, like it a lot, root for the sports teams, but not want to go to college there for whatever reason.
Also, degrees from certain schools hold more weight in different parts of the country. A University of Minnesota degree means a lot more in Minnesota or the Dakotas than it would in California or Alabama.

all WVU skill position players are back next year as is Geno. Have fun Big XII or Big East trying to defend that

Serious question
How much of the offensive line is returning? Will Geno have the same pass protection he did this year?
by SEC Supremacist on Jan 5, 2012 12:39 PM EST up reply actions
The other serious question
How much D is back. WVU can obviously score like a Big XII team. What impressed me more was that, unlike most Big XII teams, they can actually stop someone. If the D isn’t back, they may be in a bunch of 48-45 shootouts — just like everyone else in that conference.

Only possible explanations.
Since Hollywood has completely run out of ideas (again)…that would be one I think they might want to take a crack at again. They f-ed up when choosing to remake/sequel “Wall Street”. That movie was great as a stand alone. If they wanted to do another comment on the economy and how WS fails, “Bonfire” done right would have made a better choice, IMO. But then there is no role Shia in that one…and Hwood seemed to feel the need to force him on us about that time.

He did so much awesome stuff. My two year old was listening to his Grim Grinning Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion before I left for work this morning.

While in the Haunted Mansion
Make sure you check out the singing busts in the graveyard scene. The one with it’s head knocked off is Mr. Ravenscroft himself.

I have eaten exactly one slice of lithuanian bread, a quarter of a banana, and a kumquat. My energy level is real fucking high right now.
Yet you probably feel better than anyone associated with Clemson.
And probably quite a few ’Eer fans as well. But at least they have happy hangovers.

Mine finally relented about 2:30...
But yeah, it was a very happy hangover.

Pounded good beer (Beck’s dark and Sam Adams Latitude 48) all game long. Woke up this morning tired, but no crapula.
Went into work late just for the hell of it.

Oh to be younger.....
I drank four or five Bud Lights (spare me the beer snobbery), but the six or eight shots of Jack on the rocks didn’t help much.

I have heard that.....
However, it does appease Mrs MtnEer that I have something in the glass other than whiskey.

I went light on some Sundrop and Kraken
plus as the game went on I wanted a clear mind to enjoy the universe coming together for us.

That’s about the best explanation of that game I’ve seen. That was the most unbelievable collection of improbable events occurring at one I’m that I’ve ever seen since…

So last night was my first night with Kraken.
I don’t think I’d want to drink it straight or on the rocks but man does that stuff mix well with Coke. I almost didn’t know it was there.
Then this happened:

It definitely mixes well.
I’ve had one experience with it, and it was very nice. I’m normally just a beer guy, but Kraken is a definite exception.
Trying to kill as many Kerbals as Craig James has (allegedly) hookers.

Ahhh, just Orange Bowl records-
I was just about to give you shit, since OSU had 617 yards of total offense against Notre Dame in the 2005 season(2006 game) Fiesta Bowl

I think some of them might be overall records
Most points in a bowl game. Anyone ever beat 70 before?
Extra points?
TD passes?

I think 70 in a bowl is an overall record, but I don't care enough to go through all of them and see which are just OB and which are all bowls...

You guys have seen this, right?
Craig James for Senate has taken off with the force of a thousand suns. Texans, and people from all over the world, have donated literally tens of dollars to the James Train. Can anything stop this force of nature, besides unfounded but stubborn allegations from his past about dead prostitutes found in Dallas ditches 20 years ago?
Ramzy Nasrallah, an Ohio State blogger, gave $5 to James’ campaign. A worthy cause, because the donation allowed him to leave a very public message. It’s an acrostic, so taking the first letter of every line, you get…“Hooker Killer.” Subtle. This, of course, is a reference to the popular urban legend that Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU.
They shall know me by the tang of my bitter and untenable jadedness.
