GAILEY SOUNDS RESIGNED. WE WISH THAT WERE LITERALLY TRUE.
Chan Gailey sounds confused and Alzheimerish in this interview, via Fanblogs. The word they choose is “resigned,” which we like the sound of more and more as Chan keeps talking.

BCS MAKES REPLAY PROPOSAL
The BCS has proposed the use of the “Big X” replay system for all 28 bowl games, including the BCS mythical national championship game. The proposal will go before the NCAA sometime in September or October and is expected to gain approval. Now, if only the BCS could use replay to reverse its decision not to match up LSU with USC two years ago and Auburn with USC last year. We might actually have had an undisputed champion.

BIDDLE ON SEC QBS: ANYTHING BUT SEXY
Joe Biddle bemoans the lack of marquee SEC qbs in his column. We have to agree–when the conference first-teamer is Jay Cutler, clearly you are a conference in transition.
FREE, UNCOMPELLING VIDEO
Watch Mark Richt squirm! Thrill to the site of Mike Degory’s huge, lumpy skull! Listen as Sylvester Croom’s voice triggers the seismographs at UAB! Live video and a blog from SEC Media Days in Birmingham is up on Al.com, though you’ll have to wait on the good stuff since Alabama coach Brick Tamland Don David Mike Shula won’t go on for his session until later today.
Loud noises! Bright lights!
THE ZOOKER TO SING AT WRIGLEY
In a move that shows that Ron Zook’s voice just “keeps getting better and better”, he’s been invited to perform the seventh inning stretch rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”. We here at EDSBS are hoping some blogger gets a hold of that video or audio and puts it up on the net.
CAESAR CROSSES RUBICON; TEARS KNEE TENDON
Colorado running back Brandon Caesar will miss his second straight season to knee trouble. Caesar will be undergoing surgery today to repair the knee tendon that he tore two days ago during summer drills.
CALLAHAN GETS AGGRESSIVE
Struggling Joe–who wants to kiss you–points us in the direction of this Huskersextra article on Bill Callahan, Genius, and his aggressive recruiting in states that were previously fallow territory for the Nebraska. This article also serves as a reminder that, in case you’d forgotten, online recruitniks are almost as creepy as Phnom Penh sex tourists.
SPURRIER: MAKING FRIENDS, INFLUENCING PEOPLE
OBC SOS continues to reclaim his status as agent provocateur ASAP by getting SC VIPs PO’d over his revocation of scholarships to local VHTs. The timing’s not great on this one, especially since the State also brings us the story of Cory Boyd’s yearlong banishment from the program for unspecified reasons.
TOP PARTY SCHOOLS
Viva la Sun Belt! The PubClub puts together its list of top party schools and places Florida third, just behind FSU in second place and Texas at the top. The Sun Belt dominates; only Wisconsin and Penn State make the top ten outside of the region, which should up your respect for both schools’ commitment to drinking despite freezing temperatures for much of football season. Nice thing about Florida–while we may have passed out in a few yards, we never had to worry about dying from exposure while doing it. Being kidnapped and sold for body parts in the Bolivian black market, yes; losing a leg to frostbite, no…
The Wisconsin Student Center may not look comfy, but the drinks are cold, dammit.

TOTALLY UNFUNNY (CHORTLE CHORTLE)
This is totally unfunny. (Biting tongue.) Really, puerile, juvenile, shit-for-brains stuff, actually. (Pinching leg under table.) By no means do we endorse it (head nodding furiously, practically pressing the forward key for you…)
ED ORGERON IS WAITING OUTSIDE TO KICK YOUR ASS
Shame on us for not discussing it before now, but Ed Orgeron appears to be settling in just fine at Ole Miss by allegedly calling players with earrings “fucking pussy girls” (is that a Chinese translation for lesbian?), labeling the Cotton Bowl “bullshit,” and taking off his shirt and challenging every “motherfucker” in the room to a fight…all in the course of a single team meeting. He then exited the lockerroom, made violent, thrashing love to the first woman who crossed his path (twice), felled a Spanish oak with a single blow of his mighty ham-shaped hand, and ate a flat screen tv with tabasco on it just ’cause that’s what a real man does. (Please, if any of you USC types have any other dement-Ed stories, let us have ‘em in the comments section.)
Like David Allen Coe, Ed Orgeron is totally waiting outside to kick your ass.
WHO SAYS BIG 12 MEDIA DAY SUX?
Who says Big 12 media day sux? Check out this scintillating quote from coach/ beggar Mack Brown on OT Jonathan Scott:
I will apologize that he is wearing red shorts because he spilled steak grease on his pants last night and he couldn’t get it off. He would not be up here in those ugly red shorts if he had not spilled grease on his pants. He will not be playing tight end because he can’t catch. We discussed that last night, too.
Pants, grease, shorts, getting things off, tight ends…Paris says that’s hot.
MISSOURI FOOTBALL TRAGEDY GETS WORSE
The investigation into the tragic death of Aaron O’Neal at Missouri’s pre-season workout has thus far revealed some troubling problems. According to a university police report, O’Neal was not taken to the hospital across the street from the practice field immediately upon his collapse. Rather, the report reveals, that O’Neal was first taken to the trainer’s facility where he arrived unconscious. At that point the police were called but by the time they arrived he was in full cardiac arrest. O’Neal was ultimately taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead 90 minutes after first collapsing. Its an absolute tragedy and almost astonishing to think that after the rash of heat related deaths some 5 years ago that he wasn’t taken to the hospital sooner. We can only speculate as to whether that would have made a difference, but we’ll leave that up to the inevitable lawsuit to figure out.
SEC INSTITUTES ‘REGGIE BROWN’ RULE
We may have found a new whipping boy: SEC head of officiating Bobby Gaston. In addition to a whole host of baffling and no doubt haphazardly instituted rules to emphasize, Gaston also provided us with the quote of the year thus far:
“We’re walking on unchartered waters.”
…
“You’ll never guess where this finger’s been. I’ve always wanted to say that on national tv. First down!
TONY TELLS US MORE ABOUT URBAN
Have You Met Tony? gets in on the act by telling us a few more things we didn’t know about Urban Meyer.
