In response to her column slagging college football bloggers: Nancy Clark, we’ve left you a message. We tried to send you an email, but predictably, the Des Moines Register’s reader response app doesn’t work. We’re formally inviting you to EDSBS to discuss why this profanity-laced site whose chief claim to fame is calling Phil Fulmer fat is such a threat to the universe as we know it. Call us back–you’ve got our number, or at least your editor does.
The USA Today coaches poll is out, and a few observations must be made:
1. Duke gets Spurrier’s traditional single vote. Nice to have you back, Steve.
2. LSU’s bond rating has ballooned in the preseason. Les Miles cannot be happy about that.
3. Florida, flying nicely out of the top ten at eleven. Couldn’t have asked for a better slot. Hopefully that’s how the season will go–never mind the man behind the curtain…
4. Mack Brown is now set up for yet another “Disappointing Season of Excellence.” Enjoy, Longhorn fans-at least you’ll get to watch him give a lapdance to a Rose Bowl official in one of those silly jackets for a bowl slot.
5. The team with the strangest ranking? Auburn, who’ll finish above their preseason rank of 15 thanks to their beefy veteran o-line and stank-nasty D, no matter who may be lining up under center or taking the handoffs.
We honestly can’t remember if we’ve posted about this before, but it’s worth revisiting the networks who bring us the sweet honeyed goodness that is college football in order to pat the asses of those who do a fine job and slam those who make immense amounts of money doing little to help the viewer and, at worst, damage an otherwise fine product.
And don’t make the point that you don’t watch games in person, because you are a rank, gin-smelling liar if you say so. (No comments, wifey. We’ve switched to vodka lately.) Everyone watches games in person because, unless you’re blessed with multiple doubles, unlimited resources, and the stamina of Tara Reid on a three-day bender, you simply can’t attend every game you want to see, especially if you happen to be the kind of glutton who’s jacked about that WAC game that comes on at 12:30 pm E.S.T.
“Dude! The 12:30 Utah-State/Hawaii game on the Deuce! Thank god for Depends, man!”
This won’t include announcing teams, which we’re hoping to go over with during the season with mighty Michigan blogger and erstwhile hip-hop mogul Straight Bangin’. So, network by network, in order of quality of presentation:
(more…)
Boi From Troy’s all over the outrage of Texas getting two sly votes in the Coaches’ Poll. Outrage we say! Will Mack Brown stop at nothing! No, probably not we think, even if he had to pull a Randy Quaid/Woody Harrelson “Indecent Proposal” to get a coveted BCS bowl slot.
There’s no limit to the depths Mack Brown will sink to.
In a rather strange decision, the NCAA has banned Native American based mascots from being seen at post season NCAA events. Mascots or logos deemed “hostile or abusive” will not be permitted on uniforms (of course we have no idea what constitutes “hostile and abusive”). Further teams with offensive Native American based mascots will not be permitted to host post season events. Schools are free to offend, however, during the regular season. The question we have here is will mascots approved by Native American tribes like the Illini and Seminoles be treated the same as the obviously offensive ones like say… the Redskins (or for a college perspective, the old Red Men of St. Johns)?
Are Chief Osceola’s Days Numbered?
It is early in the summer practice season but Spurrier has already names Blake Mitchell as his starting quarterback… until he gets frustrated with him and pulls him that is. The back up role is still wide open at the moment. We noted here that Mitchell was more consistant and had an ugly throwing motion, which might have just been enough to remind the Old Ballcoach of a certain saintly Heisman winner back at Florida… even though Heffner seemed to have more of the Mel Kiper favorite– upside.
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.
