CURIOUS INDEX, 10/1/07
|
Sailing makes me feel so free, man. Filed from a catamaran off the coast of Walton County, FL. Hey, kitten. Yes, you. You in the corner, there. You look so…stressed. And stress will just kill ya, baby. Chill out with some smooth grooves here, ’cause even though we just went through some rough waters, there’s smooth sailing ahead, baby. Have a pina colada on me. Talk to my friend Chuck for four minutes of feelin’ good. Yeah. That’s better now, isn’t it? The wicker chair and mirrored coffee table? Oh, yeah, they’re new. Sometimes you lose, baby. Now that we’ve got the catamaran into some smooth waters baby, let’s just talk. Sometimes, you lose. Sometimes everyone loses, baby. It’s part of the whole cosmic game. Oklahoma lost to Dan Hawkins and Colorado Buffaloes, who live that clean mountain lifestyle, baby: all granola, no free radicals, power crystals and free-range chicken and hot tubs and shit. Oklahoma was gassed in the fourth quarter from the altitude and coughed up a shot at the title, baby. It happens. It’s Chinatown, Dennis. Let it go.
And when you lose, someone’s really happy. Like USF? They’re really, really happy right now, because they kicked the shit out of West Virginia. (SNNIIIIIIIFFF!) Whoa. And Maryland? They’re just freaking ecstatic that they just kneecapped Rutgers’ entire season, especially because they’re not that good. And Cal? Well, they nearly lost to Oregon, but fortunately the Ducks autodeleted their chances of a win at the last second with a fumble into the endzone. Remember the end of Chinatown? When the worst thing in the world happens? Well, that ain’t it. Fumbling into the endzone on possible tying TD is. Sometimes you lose to a 300 pound quarterback. And losing happens in thousand wild ways, darlin’. Pass me the fondue fork, will ya? And a napkin, because there’s no way I’m getting cheese on this new Izod. Anyway, look out there. There’s fish in that sea. Big ones. And none of them weigh more than Josh Freeman, but he beat Texas anyway, baby, mostly because the Longhorns just gave them every enchilada he wanted, especially to receiver Jordy Nelson, who got 116 yards on 12 receptions and a TD from the big man. And you see, there’s a duality there that hangs it all together, right? Enchiladas of sadness for Texas, right? But for Freeman? Those were enchiladas of happy, baby, filled with the guacamole of sweet victory. Pass me that mirror…. Sometimes, even ninjas lose. (SNNNNIIIIFFFF!!!!) Ah, woo! That’s great shit. Anyway, sometimes even ninjas lose. Like Florida. They’re ninjas. They’ve got all these plays, and formations, and stuff. And they’re fighting this big, strong retard. Big motherfucker who’s gonna do one thing: hit you in the face. So Florida’s like, BAM! throwing star, bitch! And it hits the retard in the arm, and he keeps coming. So Florida’s like, WHAM! Nunchuks, fucker! And it bounces off the retard’s head, and he keeps on rushing in toward ‘em. So Florida’s like, WHAM! Death touch, yeah! And the retard picks him up and throws him into a tree shredder. So yeah, ninjas. They get thrown in tree shredders, too. Pass me that mirror one more time. At least singlet guy won. And when singlet guy wins, we all win.
Hey…did we just drop anchor? Where the hell are we? Those aren’t…sharks…are they? Call the Coast Guard, dammit. But pass me that mirror one more time, first, sweetie. And that flare gun. Yes, I’m firing wherever I damn please today. |

Stapler, it’s coming. And it’s coming in the form of Cinncy or UConn. Because the Big East really hates itself, and UConn is USF’s Auburn.

You stay classy, Tampa & Hillsborough Frat Guys! ‘Cause your BRILLIANT! And FUNNY!
Jesus fuckin’ Christ, I hate the shocker hand-sign. Maybe it was funny the first few times, but when EVERY half drunk dipshit is throwing it up when he sees a camera, it stops being funny about . . . say five or six years ago.

I don’t know much about USF, but it seems like a dangerously overgrown community college. Is it a real school, or is it a made-up “university” like the one in that dreadful movie “Accepted?” Did it even exist 10 years ago?

While my team lost, I feel little shame or pain because I did not expect them to win. But they did cover, is good because it will pay for the whiskey to dull the potential future losses to Indiana, Northwestern, North Dakota State, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Dear Florida:
You have a white wide receiver who runs incorrect routes. Something is very wrong with this equation.

Yacht Rock is your friend in these stressful times Orson. Condolences to you.
My sympathy for the team, however, evaporated when Urban Meyer deployed that douchebag timeout gambit. He might as well have just gone out there and yelled “NOONAN!” a couple times. He must be proud that he maximized stakeholder value.
I hope he went home and looked at himself in the mirror — a man outwitted by an 18-year-old Alabaman. Who clearly ignored the dumbass in the Members Only jacket, and thought only of baseball until it was time to earn that sweet, sweet release of echompulation.

Auburn fans, we give you nothing but respect. Your enormous, indefatigable retard of a team bludgeoned our ninja to death, and took away his best tricks.
They also lost to Mississippi State.
But sure, we’re pussies because we lost, and losing sucks. And you know how hating losing makes you a total pussy.
Now someone call the coast guard. It’s getting dark out here, dammit, and the blender just burned out. And we’re getting low on…”our special BC headache powder.”

Somebody needs to do something about the timeouts being called .00000001 seconds before a field goal snap.
I used to hate Urban Meyer for vague, abstract reasons, but that timeout stunt now validates my anger. That was Busch league, Urban. Pure Busch league.

Does The Singlet Guy’s hat say “RUGBY” on it?
Whoever talked about normally cheering for the underdog but NOT cheering for USF-I’m right there with you. There’s just something annoying about the whole program, even though I’ll give the Bulls credit for coming a very long way in a very short time.
I just have a feeling that if you took all the guys I hated in college and got them together in one place, that place would be USF.
Comment by Boston Frog — October 1, 2025 @ 10:47 am
31
Yeah, I have to agree with that Tiger guy. Seems to me the ninjas in this metaphor are the Aubbies. Last year they got a safety, blocked a punt, returned a fumble and kicked field goals. That’s an arsenal right there, and one you don’t see coming, like a ninja in the night. Then, bam, they beat you by ten. This year they threw to multiple receivers, ran multiple running backs and even a QB, while Florida banged their head against a wall with QB gut runs and flat passes to a short quick man and a large scary man. Not terribly diverse.
Comment by Biggus Rickus — October 1, 2025 @ 10:49 am

Seriously, could we stop this whole business of calling a time out as the kicker is striding toward the ball? It might be legal, even smart, but there’s something dirty and desperate about it. Sorry, Orson, but I was glad to see that kid from Auburn come through TWICE.

Ahh the soothing sounds of Yacht Rock. Fuck you Loggins! Anyhoo…the singlet guy actually got confused and put the sock in the BACK of his Singlet, thus the shorts. I mean, really, whats next? Next thing you know, someone will be saying that Notre Dame is gonna go 0-6. Oh wait……..
-So can we just go ahead and blame this weekend on Global Warming? I mean, its the root all all evil all over the world so far, why not the NCAA ,where up is down and what makes sense has no meaning.
-Did I die? Is this what hell is like? Having to watch the 1st half of Ala v FSU’s offensive display of offense, then watch Auburn beat Fla at home for every weekend for the next 1000 yrs? If so, Im gettin religion on Sunay. If that werent back enough, I then go 0-5 on my 5 team parlay vs the spread! Special thanks to JPW of Alabama,and the head coaches of Tx,OU, Florida, and fucking WVU. Now I have to go to the life I left in college,selling my body as a Waffle House Gigalo, specializing in waitresses to cover my debts, all scattered covered and chunked

Is the “USF Hockey” shirt supposed to be ironic?
Comment by Nick — October 1, 2025 @ 10:53 am

True, Orson… AU lost to MSU.
But as I am sure you are aware, a CFB team is much more than a snapshot of one or two weeks performance can reveal. Teams improve (and sometimes dissolve) over the course of a season. AU’s young team was surprised at home by a now apparently good USF team. Then lost a hangover game to a slightly improved MSU squad. Believe me when I say that hurt us much more than it hurts you.
AU has a ton of talent and is actually as young or younger than Florida this year. Brad Lester retruns this week to aid the SEC’s winningest active QB (Oh yeah, his name is Brandon Cox). Said QB is extremely effective when two conditions are met: 1) running game keeps the pressure off and 2) he is healthy. Both were met on Saturday.
So don’t let our youngsters’ brain farts 2-3 weeks ago ruin your resolve. AU and the rest of the SEC West will be watching attentively in hopes you will expose the chink in the werewolf where one of us can place the silver bullet.
Good luck.

#14, That 5.0 Guy:
Advance attempt to head off douchebaggery insinuations. ASU has a hand symbol for a pitchfork (Devils, pitchfork, get it?) that looks suspiciously (ok EXACTLY) like the shocker, except the shocker joke didn’t really exist when we came up with it. So if you somehow manage to stumble upon Sun Devil fans throwing it up, realize that we’re not really being obnoxious…unless it’s secretly ironic or something.

Oh, Tiger. That’s optimistic. We’re thinking we should just coat ourselves in Pickapeppa sauce and present our meatier parts for the feasting hoping for mercy.
Then again, given what’s happened already this year…why the hell won’t we beat them? Oklahoma lost to Colorado. Maryland beat Rutgers. Evidence and logic have disappointed us thus far-look for the trend to continue.
Oh, and Auburn fans who just want to come here, crow, and then disappear:

I don’t know where all this USF hate comes from. You guys wanna bag an a school for a few fans - I got news for you ALL SCHOOLS HAVE DOUCHEY FANS. There’s no reason not to appreciate a team that’s actually been around for 11 years competing on a national level, especially when it has to compete against the 3 other schools for recruiting in it’s own state. Give respect where it’s due. USF has a nice program playing well.
And, I’m happy to say that Urban outdouched himself this year. No mere feat after last year.

Tulane deserves some notice and merit for being the first team to that LSU didn’t knock out the starting qb. Nicely done Greenies.
Some other notes to take with you:
-UF will not only lose, but not even cover this week in Baton Rouge.
-LSU will barely win in Lexington the next week.
-betting nothing but unders and dogs can make lot of money.
-Cal will beat USC later on.
-Navy will beat ND later on.
-the timeout right before the snap ploy is douchetastic.
-”playoffs?!?!? don’t talk to me about playoffs!!!” college doesn’t need playoffs, it has week 5. win or go play intramurals brother.

# 36 Beatuofa - That would be totally fine. If a fan base comes up with something original and not connected (just oddly similar), that’s totally understandable. I didn’t mean to lump something like that in. Just a fucktard like that guy seems to not be one of your commrades.
# 17 Gerry Dorsey - See, that would have been better. That would have shown some ability to go outside the College Humor box. Maybe even show that, yes, he could get laid and stop masterbating to the lame girl-girl pics.
# 18 PW - Dude, the frat guys here are like the movie Old School, only with Blue or Teh Funny. He’s probably planning to use the shocker on his buddy next to him. Just look at the excitement on his face, That’s anticipation, friends. Besides, it looks like that guy has seen more than his fair share of beer and baconater dinners for the last several weeks.
I’m not angry or angsty. I’m just hating the rest of the fanbase. Well, mostly the student side. Most of them aren’t bright. They were all fighting to get into the stadium (literally, elbows were used) despite the fact they had been issued tickets with seat designations.
And BTW Boston Frog, those guys you mentioned you hate at USF? They are either Buisness or Engineering Majors. Both schools apparently house an incredible amount of human-shaped bile ducts.

Saw those guys at Jordan-Hare in week two. They are very enthusiastic about their jobs.
Scalz1, as to the USF fans, we were happy to find a small group before the game that day who wished they’d run across some mean Aubies, but they were disappointed that no one had given them any grief. It was insightful, really, as to their experience and expectations. After the game the nine-year-old-bull-fan in training trying to pick physical fights with Auburn fans … she was precious. Her hair was in nice braids and everything.

I like playing this game-Whats wrong with this picture..
Yeh, the shocker..as brilliant and scandalous and overblown as it was, it was a long long time ago…
USF- our motto is “We have no admissions policy, come one, come all, we are to college football and low admission standards as New York was to immigration in the 1900’s” for practical purposes, they could have ended up with Noel Devine,they got Mike Ford from Alabama,and I am sure they are loading up on talent that dont have to hassle with things like grades and SAT scores. Look for USF to become the lighter version of Da’U from the early 90’s, all the talent of a major DIV 1 school, but half the grades. Sooner or later, when success hits a young program, the NCAA is soon to follow, with pesky investigations,allegations, etc etc etc. Odds are, the NCAA is already looking around….at their Hockey program.

“I don’t know much about USF, but it seems like a dangerously overgrown community college.”
I live in Tampa and yes that about sums it up. USF fans are suffering from not-acquainted-with-success syndrome. Much like Rutgers last year… and this year come to think of it. I think it’s hilarious that USF is getting about the same amount of press in the local papers that the Bucs are getting.

I love those who have been Croomed (that gets guys fired in some places) getting all upset over the last second timeout, like Meyer invented it. Get over it, it’s been around a while - myself, I think they have to change the rule to where you can’t call it that close. It does nothing for the game to allow it to work like that.
But really, get over it, Meyer didn’t invent it. You’re just trying to justify your hate.

I expect FLA to bounce back and beat LSU this weekend. Why not? That would let us continue the joyous choir, singing the ballad of SEC parity and virtue. Likewise, I expect UK to beat LSU and FLA to beat UK, allowing LSU to beat FLA in the conference championship, thoroughly fucking the entire conference. The same will happen in the PAC 10, then we can all drink away our sorrows as Wisconsin beats USF in the MNC. What a weird season this is already…

Re: timeout
The absolute-last-second-timeout is a relatively new development. The traditional icing of the kicker has been going on for a while, and is generally accepted gamesmanship. I am not going to compain about the newest variety as long as it is legal.
I expected Urban to just ice him but realized what he was pulling as the teams got all lined up and the pre snap routine was progressing. I sort of wish Byrum had misse the first one. The gator tears would be even more sweet.

Doesn’t letting the kicker go through with it just give him a solid warm up? Test the wind, how hard he needs to kick, etc.
That’s like giving someone a warm up on a money putt.

Stapler, is the “Busch League” one of those NASCAR things, and what does that have to do with anything?
Or are you speaking of “bush league”, as in minor-league baseball? (I can say that word, here, right?) In that case, you almost make sense. But freezing the kicker is classic coaching trickeration. Those who seek to live by the frozen kicker may die by the frozen kicker, even if I don’t see TT wasting timeouts as #41 suggested.

I fully expect Florida to beat LSU this weekend, I have no idea what happened to make the media convinced LSU is such a juggernaut…Their defense looks good, sure, but here are the total offense rankings for their opponents thus far:
Miss St- 108th
Va Tech- 112th
MTSU- 102nd
S Car- 77th
Tulane- 107th
After 5 games these rankings cannot be entirely skewed due to the LSU games for each either…
Should be a good game anyway…

Early Prediction Dept (FL vs LSU):
Florida will have an easy game next week, beating LSU like the proverbial red-headed step-child. Florida will be playing like they are on fire, after the close loss, while LSU has not really been tested all year, and has been malnourished eating a steady diet of cupcakes, such as: Missy State, Middle Tennessee and Tulane.
If Florida beats LSU in a bad enough manner, the Lester the Molester Miles to Michigan talk will heat up.

Gotta watch those flare guns with their hair-triggers and whatnot.
I was just surprised that so many people seemed to get worked up about the last second timeout call. Though, it is college football, so that will happen.
Plus, when it appears that you’ve been hording championships over the past two years the hate only multiplies. At least it means that someone’s paying attention.

Orson,
The ninja versus retard reference was too much. I laughed so hard I cried a little. Just a little, though and I think it only qualifies as “tearing” not actual crying.
As for the game, I’m proud of my Tigers and it feels good for what it is but no matter how the season ends for Auburn- SEC c-ship? SEC West title and Outback Bowl bid? 7-5 and a loss in the Indepenedence Bowl to Kansas? We will certainly be left to look back at the Crooming and wonder how the hell it happened and what it really cost the program.
Also, in all of the postgame revelry few are talking about the sunk cost of beating UF- Tristan Davis and Quentin Groves. Groves dislocated 3 toes (ouch) and his return is indefinite. Considering the near instantaneous gains Tebow made in Groves’ absence, that can’t be good.
As for Saturday- Florida beats LSU. With an overhyped LSU and a wounded Florida squad it will come down to coaching and I think that’s all I need to say about that. Plus this is the Season of Chaos and there is no way the football gods allow any SEC team not called Kentucky to be undefeated beyond Week 6.
Good luck and War Eagle.

The only thing tougher than kicking a 43 yard field goal in that exact situation is doing it twice-Meyer did what I would expect any forward thinking coach to do. Make it as difficult as possible for his opponent to win. The same play cost the Raiders an opportunity to win their first game of the season when Sebastian plunked it off the left upright.
Congratulations to Auburn, you played by far the best game of your season thus far with your back against the wall. Games like that is why I don’t think LSU will go unbeated.

I wish that instead of calling timeout to ice the kicker, it would make the game more entertaining if they could just let the opposing coach shoot fireworks at the kicker and let him try to kick it thru the smoke, flares and sparklers because…frankly, kickers + timeouts are boring, and that way the kickers have to earn it. Makes the job “kicker” sound interesting. Kickers have no friends except for the 5 mins after the game, if they win it, and even when they win, its back to Lonerville. If they lose they are getting a blanket party from “Full Metal Jacket”.
No one wants to say “hey, I’m dating a kicker” unless its Adam Vinateri. Who can raise their hands and dreamed of growing up and being a kicker?-crickets chirping—-

tigerhorn,
I have heard form 3 weeks to the whole season on Groves. It is definitely disheartening.
We have been without Davis all year. So I guess we can keep on, especially with Lester coming off suspension. I really feel for Davis though. The kid has played all over the field and was ready to really contribute.

Hey guys, I disagree with the Maryland comment. I’m a longhorn fan, but I had money on Maryland to cover the +18.5 spread. The issue is that Md benched the starter, Steffy who sucks, and put in a sophomore kid Chris Turner. The kids was amazing. He’s pretty big, has a cannon for his arm, and was awesome because he was hitting passes downfield which opened up the running lanes for baby Ray Lewis.

Everything I’ve read says Groves won’t be back before LSU and maybe longer.
Yesterday Tubs reported that the three toes had been popped back into place. By that I’m sure he means Groves stared icily at the toes and growled “back!” and the toes quickly reset themselves.
This injury just seems so bizarre. What are the long-term implications of dislocated toes? Why isn’t there an EDSBS medical staff person on call to answer these questions?
At least it appears that Groves gifted a portion of his gigantic balls to Wes Byrum before crutching himself off the field Saturday. There is no other way a true freshman makes those kicks under those conditions.

Groves would only have that power if his toes were in a passing situation; if they were planning to run, he would be out of position.

I think in the loss, three positive points from a UF aspect are being missed.
1) Tebow is still Tebow. He can’t be held down the whole time (it does help for Groves to be out, but Tebow wasn’t completely shut down before then).
2) We saw glimpes of Harvin as an actual receiver. Up until now, it’s been pure speed; he showed some receiving skills Saturday.
3) AUAlum mentioned it above - If this didn’t end up as a loss, I fully expected the banners at the top of this site to change to Major Wright images - I can’t tell how he is in coverage yet, but, wow, he can flat-out hit.

Along the lines of #86…
The timeout is a crapshoot. If the kicker misses the first attempt during a timeout, egg on gator face.
An equally rational strategy would be to act like you’ll call the timeout during the first attempt, then just not call the timeout. That one should really take the kicker for a mind-fuck.
Bottom line, when you need to resort to such tactics (or pray for a block, etc.) against an inferior team at home, you probably don’t deserve to win. Desperation has such a foul odor.

[NAME REDACTED] made me some money this weekend….for that, I’m thankful. It was a good weekend to bet on underdogs.
As a Florida fan, that game was brutal to watch. Just brutal. There were two plays that I look at and think if they were different, the game probably goes the other way.
1) Running into the kicker. If Ingram doesn’t commit this foul, UF gets the ball around midfield with momentum. Instead, AU goes on a fantastic time killing drive down the field for a TD. Complete game changer. And in the process, it validates Tubby’s wuss call to decline the penalty and make it 4th down instead of giving his offense another chance at making the first down.
2) The punt. In an otherwise fantastic day punting the ball, the blocking on that play was poor and he punts it 30 yards, giving them the ball around the 40. Even if he gets it around the 25 out of bounds on that punt, Tubby is not going to take too many chances with it on his own end. Instead, he opens the offense up, UF plays horrible defense on 3rd and 3 and they get into FG range.
Fuckity fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Actually, Jamar Hornsby (redshirt freshman who should know better!) ran into the Auburn’s kicker, not Cornelius Ingram. We have two number sevens.
I know what you’re saying, though, I was cursing that penalty through the whole game. Still can’t believe he did that and the HUGE difference it made.
