THE CURIOUS INDEX, 2/8/2012

PrintServers melted. Servers reconstituted by loyal IT staff. Proceeding somewhat normally now, but no one sneeze or anything.
THE MOST AVANT-GARDE ART OF OUR TIME IS PRODUCED SOMEWHERE DEEP IN KANSAS. Well, who actually knows where Catlab is besides "everywhere in your subconscious at once." They transcend geography, sense, or the petty framework of this world.
WORST THREESOME EVER.
MEMPIS. That's who the Big East is down to, a move met with both cautious optimism by Big East types and with horror by individual conference members. Memphis has been ranked in the AP Top 25 for one week in its football history, has been one of the worst football programs in the nation for the past three years, and once made the MagicJack Bowl. They will be one of the eleven or so members of the Big East once this shakes out, and we have only this as commentary: Memphis versus UConn on a Wednesday night. Think about that. You think about that long and hard.
ELVIS RE-ENTERS THE BUILDING NO WE'RE NOT SORRY. The NCAA normally would have approved MIzzou LT Elvis Fisher's request for a sixth year of eligibility with some speed--since most other cases like this are moved along fairly quickly--but this is the NCAA, and making stuff up as you go takes a while sometimes. They did approve it, though, and for that we pat them on the head in the most condescending manner possible.
PENN STATE GETS SQUATTY. The new conditioning program at Penn State passes the squat test (i.e., they actually do them,) but take another inspiration from the Penn State players doing relatively low weights to get their form right, just as you should do in becoming a stronger, meaner internet commenter.
RESEARCH. It can mean a lot of things, man. Sending phone research after the answer to "Do you like this thing or not" is insanely outdated in almost every field unless you want the answer you started with, and that's what the Big Ten wanted all along. Still, it's like sending dogs after pythons and who would be stupid/insane enough to do that--

so the Georgia Southern people are definitely already making fun of it. I still don’t think it’s as bad as Georgia State’s fight song actually saying “we’re from the A-T-L” in it, though. ’Cause that was some horrid shit, right there.

From the Georgia Southern perspective it would be great to just play it in the GA Dome where we’d probably have nearly as many fans as them (huge metro atlanta alumni base).

"Nearly as many fans as them"?
It wouldn’t even be close. They report a shit ton more fans than actually show up at their games. If you see pictures of their games, their attendance levels are horrendous. Georgia Southern would blow them away in attendance at Da Doooooome that they’re so proud of that they play in.
As for actually playing them… I don’t know what the situation is. They want to act like we’re scared of them. I just don’t think we care, to be honest. It would be fun to actually play them and shut them the hell up. You would think travelling TO a DII school and getting beat would do it, but nope.

We’d probably end up giving them more money than they deserve. I’m trying to find some pictures now of their attendance levels. They get so few people that it looks like they have their band sit in alternating rows with 2-3 open seats between members to make it look like there are more people there.

Still don't get the move unless they expect Louisville to be gone
AFAICT, it’s an attempt to keep the non-football schools from bolting once Louisville leaves (which probably sets off a chain of dominoes, quite possibly ending with no original Big East — or even original Big East football — teams left in the Big East except maybe Rutgers).
Pitino has been quite vocal about gettin Memphis IN the Big East
as one of L’ville’s ‘natural rivals’.

We have permanent lights because the good people at NBC paid for them.
And it tends to be pretty dark by the start of the 4th quarter when you have home games in November kick off at 3:30. Fucking NBC.

Do you have a problem with actual night games, or just the 3:30 starts?
I don’t mind either, really. 3:30 starts get a lot more neutral viewership and that’s what we’re after with the NBC deal. Makes no sense to have a contract with a network that has no other college football and NOT make sure we get the best slot possible.
It was a little inconvenient as a student b/c the dining halls were always a fucking ZOO after the game ended (at least South was, because LOLNDH) but that’s a price I’m willing to pay every time.
Night games are great for big games like USC & Michigan. I would absolutely love having a single big home game at night every year. Random-ass lame night games (Purdue at Notre Dame, Saturday night! Feel the excitement!)??

No problem with night games, no problem with 3:30 starts in Sept/Oct.
I just feel that the November weather and light situations would be better suited to starting the games at 1 as opposed to 3:30 so that you finish up in the dusk at 4:30 or 5 instead of the pitch black of 7pm. Hell, ND used to kickoff at 2:30 when November rolled around, but that has gone to the wayside in recent years. It’s a personal preference.
I too am in favor of one big home night game (U$C, UM, Stanford, OU/TX/etc.) a year. I would rather have this then random neutral site night game.

I was referring to wild foraging
I have repeatedly gotten interested in hunting for wild mushrooms myself, only to learn that it is incredibly difficult and dangerous because most mushrooms are inedible and several edible species have poisonous cousins that look the same.
If I lived in top mushroom country (Pacific Northwest and Appalachia), I’d probably overcome the learning curve, but here it’s easier just to order dried shiitake and porcini by the pound on Amazon.

There’s obviously some real bad shit going on in the locker room. Our second leading scorer just got suspended, and the team looked a hell of a lot better last night (caveat: Auburn basketball). I don’t think we’re a Final Four team by any means, but if we draw an 8 seed and survive the first round we could give a 1 seed a rough going.

Chairwoman of the "Blood Is Thicker Than Tuition Money" Committee for Fan Bigamy
Yeah, I watched it mostly against my will.
The depiction of the writers is pretty accurate and could be compelling. The actors’ story, though, is as cliche as it gets and completely inaccurate. I read an interview with one of the writers (who’s a well-known, Pulitzer nominated playwright) who said the pilot isn’t reflective of what they want to do. They want to turn it into a kind of Aaron Sorkin-esque “inside baseball” look at professional theatre, which sounds watchable. If it’s Glee with better singers, I’m out.

You might be able to get in the doors if the ticket scanners are lazy and not looking at the picture, but the ushers are much more careful about it.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so. now on Twitter
Part I left out is the tickets are free, and you claim them online
The whole system prevents people from cheating the system so they can skip every game but then get good seats for the big ACC games
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so. now on Twitter
Free is good
But any system that makes you camp out or otherwise waste your time like that (whether for season or individual game tix) is fundamentally broken. The programs need to recognize that students have shit to do besides attend their precious games from time to time.
Just allot tickets using a weighted average of class year and GPA. You can do this in groups or individually. It would take no time to implement and would be super-easy for the students.
I prefer the system we have
It rewards the students that actually care about ALL sports at UVa (you can get Sabre points by attending certain non-rev sports events).
The only thing I would change about the system is that you don’t get penalized for requesting, claiming, and later cancelling a ticket when you find out you can’t go to a game.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so. now on Twitter
I can understand that, though
because it keeps people from bailing on tickets constantly just to pump themselves up.
I’d make it one freebie per semester, probably.
Then again, I went to UK, where the only tickets we had to pay for were basketball and football, and they sold football season tickets to students and basketball required going to the lottery.

I just don't see why attending game X should be correlated with tix for game Y
If you skip a dog of a game to study on a weekday night, you shouldn’t be penalized.
I would rather the kids who care most about the team get the tickets
If that means someone who couldn’t spare 3 hours out of their evening get’s fucked over oh well.
But look at wahoocrew's situation
“Caring about the team” is quantified by attending unrelated sporting events and skipping evening classes.
That's one of the nice things about ND
Every student that wants tickets, gets them. the only camping out is done by people who absolutely must sit as close as possible to the court for basketball games.
One of the many benefits of having a smallish student population

At least the incentive structure would be reasonable
Rewarding students for studying, rather than camping out (and not studying).
Disagree.
The people with the best tickets would be upperclass nerds. That does the opposite of building a fan base.
College is supposed to be adulthood with training wheels. If you choose to prioritize athletic event attendance over class event attendance, you should get both the positive and negative ramifications of that decision. Consider it practice for adulthood when you choose to stay out til closing time and still have to drag ass to work at 7:30.

Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They forgot about morons.
They could always designate those as 'Home' games
the same way smaller schools do when trying to keep their average attendance over 15k
I imagine this is what would happen
Only problem is, neutral stadiums often use the TV rights money to pay the teams enough to make up for losing the home-game revenue. If the conference gets the TV revenue, then neutral site is only worthwhile if the increased ticket sales revenue is much more than the home stadium to make up for stadium rental and travel costs. This could be true for Oregon and maybe Nebraska, but probably not if the “home” team would have been one of those with their own 100,000 seat stadium or, conversely, no appeal to draw a capacity crowd in such a stadium.
Nebraska playing a neutral site game? Instead of 90k seats at home?

I didn't say it would happen, I said it could be financially feasible
And official stadium capacity is “only” 81,000, though attendance figures suggest it’s closer to 85,000.
Was going to say basically what Albino said above, but the server ranch wouldn't let me before.
In essence, Jerryworld is the only NFL stadium that has enough of a capacity advantage to remotely make sense, and I’m guess the cost of staging a game there would far outweigh any additional revenue from tickets.
In other words, Huskers don’t play home games outside of Lincoln.

Sorry, had to duck out for practice-
And I generally have no issue with Florida’s scheduling, because of that situation- playing a “home game” in Jacksonville costs them, and they off-set that by playing FSU at home when they’re the hosts for the WLOCP. It would be nice to see UF go elsewhere, but I realize it ain’t happening unless things change.
