BOWL NEWS UPDATE

The bad news continues for playoff proponents as the bowls continue unabated to succeed. On that score, this week, the Fort Worth Bowl extended its agreement with Conference USA for four years through the 2009 season. That game will match up teams from Conference USA and the Mountain West Conference.

For those with more tropical vacations planned, the Hawaii Bowl signed a four-year extension with Conference USA and the Western Athletic Conference. Under the deal, however, next years game can include a bowl-eligible 6th place team from the mightly Pac 10.


When in Hawaii, do you really want to spend time watching the 6th place Pac 10 team take on a member of the WAC???

STUD OFFENSIVE LINEMAN CHOSES NOTRE DAME

Eric Olsen, a 6 foot 5, 300 pound offensive lineman, has chosen to bang heads on behalf of Notre Dame next season. He’s ranked among the top 25 of available lineman and continues Weis trend of quality early commitments.

BLOG POLL WEEK 4

We’re better than the Harris Poll… but that’s not saying much. On to the Blog Poll… after a brief dancing interlude by Jean-Claude

We here at EDSBS can’t get enough of that faux hip sway followed by the clap.

ESPN: THE WORLD WIDE LEADER… IN CELLPHONES?

From the network that added Nick Lachey to Gameday and ESPN Hollywood to the nightly lineup comes another new innovation designed to keep the bottom line healthy. ESPN Cellphones are on their way. If watching too much sports at home hasn’t already ruined your marriage/relationships, then you definitely need this new gadget.

FUN WITH LES MILES

After a collapse like last night, we knew we could expect alot of farking and snarking about the coaching job of Les Miles. The internet has not disappointed.

(HT to Virtual Swamp).

Also, if you want to see an old press conference which might remind Gator fans of the Zooker, click here.

KING KAUFMAN SAYS LSU LET DOWN THE HURRICANE VICTIMS

King Kaufman, the excellently sarcastic sports columnist for Salon, offers us his take on the LSU defeat today. With his tongue firmly planted in his cheek, he opines that if an LSU victory no doubt would have been heralded as uplifting to the downtrodden and displaced Katrina survivors, then should the press be talking about how the Tigers really let the survivors down. He offers us this fake quote which should have been reported this morning:

“I know it’s only a football game, but I was really counting on LSU to lift me up in my hour of need, give me a little joy, and then they go and give up 17 unanswered points. Thanks a lot.”

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR

Give the people what they want, and they’ll come running like a herd of elephants in heat. One unfortunate and slightly disgruntled NC State fan found this out the hard way when he started a website, firechuckamato.com. Click to see as frantic a surrender flag as you’ll see on the internets.

CAJUN HOSPITALITY!

And they wonder why it’s so hard to find a bus when you need it in Lousiana.

TOUGH VERY MUCH BAD LOSE FOR TIGER MEN

If you’ve been a college football fan, then you know what the LSU fans felt like last night. But if you are not a passionate fan, we thought we’d try to help you understand the torment of the tiger’s faithful and what this look feels like:

GAMECOCK QB OUT AGAINST AUBURN

Blake Mitchell suffered a high ankle sprain in the third quarter of the game on Saturday against Troy. Consequently, he is doubtful for the matchup against Auburn this week leaving those duties to Antonio Heffner. Leave it to the Head Ball Coach to look at the bright side:

The way our pass protection is right now, I don’t know if Blake could last anyway

FIRST GILLIGAN, NOW MAXWELL SMART

Another one of my childhood rerun favorites has passed away. I’m getting misty just thinking about the Nude Bomb. Rest in Peace Don Adams. We here at EDSBS will miss you… by that much.

LIVEBLOG: UT/LSU

Because we care: a liveblog will scroll its lazy way down the internets during the Tennessee/LSU game. For the record, we’re taking Tennessee, if only because we can’t imagine the Vols playing as badly as they have three games in a row.

Stranko: 7:34 EST. The games hasn’t kicked off and I’ve already hit my limit on “the game isn’t important its just a welcome diversion” talk. Look, we already know this, but let’s face it, we put too much importance on sports, especially college. That is who we are and we should just be okay with it rather than pretend that “its not that important.” Also, I say LSU wins. We shall see.

Stranko: 7:38 EST. The crowd is in force and ready to rumble… Is Tennessee? We’ll know after the review of the kickoff fumble.

Stranko: 7:42 EST. Well, I can see why Fulmer is so in love with Ainge and has benched Claussen. He secretly hates Tennessee fans. Nice fumble followed by a quick strike by Addai.

Stranko:7:40 EST. Tennesee’s ball, now let’s see if their gameplan is as bad as last week.

Orson: 7:44 EST. Ainge follows in a long tradition of gawky white qbs who turn over the ball at inopportune times at Tennessee. Addai gets that first carry and cuts back with velvety feet wayyyy too smooth for a guy who looks like the Devil’s Bouncer. TD, LSU.

Stranko: 7:48 EST. Orson, it looks like your Costanza powers have affected the Vols. They look rattled.

Stranko: 7:50 EST. Holy Shit… they can’t do anything right. That was a big pass to drop.

Stranko: 7:51 EST. In defense of Tennessee… how tough is it to go from the Swamp to the Bayou. They are probably the toughest two places to play in the country. Even a sophisticated offense like Boise might be affected by that.

Stranko: 7:53. Aren’t blond sideline reporters supposed to be hot?

Orson: 7:54. Speaking of raw deals…how did we get spiky poo Davie with the immortal Ron Franklin?

Orson: 7:57 EST. Lipreading fun: Les Miles mouths “dumbass” on the penalty.

Stranko: 8:03. Nice hit by Kevin Simon. This was a good weekend for big hits.

Orson: 8:04. Large turnover right there. Shame–LSU’s O-Line was whipping Tennessee’s ass, even against the blitz.

Stranko: 8:10. Commercial break. Doug and Carie Heffernen are at their marital bickering again… what a shock.

Stranko: 8:15. Finally a catch by a Tennessee wide out. That turn over by Russell has really slowed the LSU momentum.

Orson 8:18. Randy Sanders has the play-o-matic set on random again.

Orson 8:24. Davie has just informed us that there’s no coaching manual for how to deal with a hurricane. Idiotesque of him.

Stranko: 8:25. I think Davie has just taken over playcalling for both teams.

Stranko: 8:28. If things don’t pick up I might have to watch Jean-Claude Van Damme dance to keep entertained

VANDY CONTINUES TO BE DANGEROUS CAMPUS

As we reported here and here, Vanderbilt is the most dangerous campus in the state. Well, the hits keep coming as receiver George Smith was shot on Sunday morning in his dorm. He’s okay and expected to make a full recovery.

Hey Vandy. Meet your new ombudsman.

HEAD ON

The joys of being a scholarship quarterback in the ACC are illustrated in this horrifying video from last Saturday’s BC/Clemson game. The fact that Ryan stayed in the game is astounding. (HT to Bill at ATLEagle.)
