CURIOUS INDEX, 9/19/08

“It’s mass confusion down here. Just a mess.” Ohhh, Bill Stewart is not a good head coach, and you know it when Erin Andrews may succinctly pigeonhole your game management style in a glance and two observant sentences filed from the sidelines at the end of regulation last Also: another universal rule is that when your coach has to keep saying how you’ll get better and better, it is a sure sign that nothing will change, and that you will not get better because this person has no idea how to go about accomplishing this. “I’m so proud of the way they came out and competed,” West Virginia coach Bill Stewart said. “There’s a lot of heartache in that locker room. But they’ll grow and get better.” Yes. Being positive without details and ass-busting equals positive bacon wrapped around substandard coaching hot dog. Tortured, byzantine coaching metaphors for $800, Alex. Get off the boooooooiiiooooiiioooooze. Virginia has booted qb Peter Lalich off the team for drinking, a violation of his alcohol-related probation. This takes away Virginia’s lone qb with any substantial starting experience, all because he couldn’t stop burning up those brain cells and lay off the boooooooooooiiioooooooooiiooooooooze. Al Groh commented by saying it was “regrettable (meh).” “Unfucked.” Perhaps one of the better phrasings for the miraculous healing of Percy Harvin’s heel over the offseason we’ve seen comes from newcomber Devin’s Landing. We are so looking forward to Florida surgeons installing spoilers on his shoulders to keep him on the ground, lest he fly disastrously in the air like a runaway speedboat. Pat Kuntz had to be tough. We bet everyone in the family is capable of decking seven men in six seconds. You have to be to endure the name, or Rivals.com’s creative copyediting using your name. Drink if he openly pulls for a team he used to coach. The Dr. Lou Drinking Game. You wanted it, even if you didn’t know you needed it. |

Bill Stewart is well on his way to becoming [HICK REDACTED].

Who’s the worst game day coach: Bill Stewart, Sylvester Croom or Ed Orgeron (R.I.P.)?
My vote is for Croom. Sly is in his fifth year of head -scratching, bone-head game management. Oh, what a half-decent offensive-minded coach could do with State’s defense backing him up.

As great of a game was KU-USF (really well coached KU team) is as bad as WFVU and CU.
While the game clock was totally mismanaged, I dont think it made a difference. The ‘eers were still 20 yds away from FG range, they are an running team with only 35 or so seconds left. Not to mention that their kicker didn’t exactly give me the impression that he’s money 50 yds out.

Bill Stewart truely managed the clock poorly by not using the first TO but the last one I understood. It was 4th down and by running it down to a cew seconds, he made sure WFV got one last shot at the endzone and CU did not.

22 drinks in a less than 4 minute segment? That’s inhumane for anyone who’s not an alcoholic or a college student.
It’s like asking a 30-handicapper to play on a real version of Bowser Badlands.

Well… I for one remember him kicking OUs ass in the Fiesta Bowl.

Similarly, it is a shame that people will only remember Stewart’s bizarre coaching and not all of those other good things he surely did.

Stockdale is an honest-to-gawd hero, man. It irks me that people will only remember his strange VP run.
Even my Canadian-born mother admires that guy
