Okay, Stranko, put your chin strap on and get your waders out: the bullshit is about to get awfully deep around here.
Get out your waders, even if you look like Sammy Hagar’s ex-wife.
Here’s my first shot at a preseason top 25.
(more…)
Just an amusing pair of notes from the website for Gary Barnett’s youth football camp.
There is a Camp Bank available for overnight campers to prevent lost or stolen money.
We don’t doubt that, given Barnett’s tendency to keep plenty of money around the locker room.
Also: nowhere on the site does it say “no girls.” Ladies, your shot at football fame is waiting!
Fiutak: is Purdue the new Auburn? With all those returning starters and no Buckeyes/Wolverines on the schedule, the thinking seemes to be “why the hell not?” At this point, as we prepare to put on our tin-foil hat and submit our own laughable preseason top 25, we’re inclined to agree with anything making a shred of sense. Fiutak also discovers the joys of being one of college football’s most productive writers with the ongoing fisking of his columns, this time taken up by our compadres CFR in this post.
Terry Pellman of TideFans.com has little tolerance for bullshit, evidently, since he fillets his own offense-and a vocal wing of the Crimson Tide fan base-in this brutally honest post on TideFans.com. The creme de la creme:
Despite the grumbling, mostly from the “sports sociopathic” faction of the Bama fan base, the staff is entering their third season leading the Crimson Tide.
It’s good to see football fans who recognize their own lunatic fringe and the disastrous effects they can have on a program’s development. Yet the other notable thing about the post is the absolute lasting skepticism towards Shula’s handling of the program. We’d think that three years into a program, there would be some kind of consensus take among the fanbase: this guy’s great, this guy’s crap, we should storm the AD’s office and toss him off the balcony, etc, etc…but in Tuscaloosa, there only seems to be a lingering hesitancy about Shula the Younger. After getting burned so many times since the Bryant era-the Perkins/Curry era, the sudden departure of Gene Stallings, the roller-coaster ride of the DuBose reign, and finally Strippergate with Mike Price and the sudden oncoming of Mike Shula-are Bama fans finally over the drama? We’d like to think so, but a few more losses this season and alumni may start looking west to Starkville for an answer to their prayers and prove us dead wrong.
If you own a painting like this…well, you might be “sports sociopathic.”
Heismanpundit combs the small-market paper so you don’t have to, finding the exquisitely monikered Griffin Pritchard’s column on the preseason rankings and linking to it here.
The Arizona State/LSU game on September 10th has been moved back to 7:45 p.m. to accomodate ESPN coverage. The move to a night game cannot please the Sun Devils, since Baton Rouge at night is literally a whole different ball game: a single brightly lit patch of green in the middle of a pitch black Louisiana night, surrounded by a screaming horde of drunk-ass Cajuns fired up on whiskey and jambalaya who drove in from the bayous along with the grumbling rednecks who drove down from the hills to see a right proper whoopin’. Here’s hoping that even if ASU wins, they high-tail it out of there real fast-like. We’ve seen Sling Blade once already.
We reckon ASU might wanna have that bus runnin’ by the 3rd quarter, yep.
The answer is yes according to Matt Hayes at the Sporting News. We’re not talking about not wanting to play on the smurf turf either, but when Wyoming tried to back out its contract to play at Florida this year and offered Boise State as a replacement, the Gators balked. Hopefully, this is a remnant of the Zook regime, which no doubt would have lost or won unimpressively. If not, watch out Gator fans because Wyoming isn’t bad…. they’re not Boise State, but they’re better than the usual Lousiana directional school brought in for the home opening beat down. We suspect the Zooker would have struggled mightily against them.
We’ve parked an additional domain, so if you type our nickname-EDSBS.com-it will actually take you here now. Unfortunately, typing “Paris Hilton blow job” or “cheap online Phentermine” will not, but we’re working on it.
Orson Swindle gets home a bit late from a party, and drunk dials the world on a new Audioblog entry.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.
