THE CURIOUS INDEX 10/10/14

SO THERE WAS THAT. This occurred, and now Todd Gurley is out "indefinitely." A reminder that rules that don't make any sense are still rules that don't make any sense.

CLANGACLANGACLANGA. This USA Today piece details how Mississippi State got from 4-6 in 2013 to being ranked 3rd in the AP poll. However, at no time does it use the word "clanga," because journalism is silly.

:: CHECKS ELIGIBILITY RULES :: Per Desmond Howard, a few Michigan greats not named Gerald Ford because apparently he is dead or something are returning to Ann Arbor this weekend to offer support to the current team - 0-2 in the Big Ten for the first time since the Johnson Administration. No word as to whether the author's plaintive pleas to get Charles Woodson back in a Michigan uniform (SUCK IT, NCAA) will have any effect.

OUCH. BYU lost to UCF last night in overtime, and to make matters worse, an estimated 200% of the team is injured. You should probably get suited up, because Coach Mendenhall needs you.

SOUNDS NICE. According to this Business Insider piece, College Football Playoff selection committee member and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spends most of her time watching football, refusing to travel overseas during the season and seeing at least 15 games a week. I do this, too, and people call me "obsessed" and "perhaps not entirely all there mentally" and "maybe more akin to a form of soup than a human." Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate.
