FANBLOGS GOES BIG. WE'LL ONLY SELL TO BUST MAGAZINE

I prefer Wyrbowa or Krolewska but Polish Vodka is certainly the best you can find reliably in the US. Good choice.

The bison grass makes it, Nathan. Served cold it’s like drinking tasty water that makes you dizzy.

i would be willing to pay up to three farthings to persuse your website. will you be taking diner’s club?

This is interesting. Considering one of the many many reasons I started my site was becasue I get so sick of looking at the 10,000 banner ads and pop-ups so that plague the rivals and scout sites. A few are ok, but I find it hard to get to the real content sometimes.

One of the reasons blogs are proliferating in the sports world is becasue a lot of people are sick of listening to the people who get paid to do the writing and pretend to be objective and pretend to have more knowledge than other fans. I also never understood the whole idea paying to read about how fast some sophmore in High School runs a 40. Any original content Rivals and scout sites put out is regurgated on the fee message boards anyways. My rant is now over.

That being said, congrats to Fanblogs and I have no problem with people making money where they can.

Player’s Club only, Adam. Telly Savalas uses it, so you know it’s good.

How do you know you have a keeper for a wife? When she brings back 2 litres of Russian Standart for you after a summer abroad. No little knick knacks, just vodka you can’t get in the states. Other than that, I end up sticking to the Polish imports.

Oh, and yeah – the bison grass is great. WTF did you start drinking that though? I’ve got an excuse being from a an emigree family, but I can’t imagine many jort wearing folks in g-ville are picking up a litre of Zybrovka instead of Aristocrat for the weekend.

There’s a large Eastern European community in St. Pete, Nathan, and we’re friends with a Polish guy who insisted it was heaven in a bottle. We think he’s selling it short.

Are you going to put up a tip jar anytime soon? I am not sure how everybody else feels but orson and stranko are very active moderators, deserving of something for there time. I have got some canned corn and an old stuffed animal I would love to donate for your effort fellas.

I give a left nut (actually, my only left nut) to give jeri blank’s tits the motorboating of her life!

zybrovka huh? Ive been looking for a good vodka.

Off Topic: Another Fulmer Cup point for Iowa. Public Intoxication. Same kid who got a DWI last month. Will be lucky to be on the team next fall now.

Corey Robertson Public Intox Halfway down on the police blotter.

I beleive this puts us at 4 points. All for drinking. This only helps to solidify Iowa City’s rep, which by the way I am very proud of.

I just want you guys to know that I haven’t sold my site…yet. This guy at poker offered me a beer for it, but it’s wasn’t even a tall boy or 40 ounce or anything like that.

I was going to start my own college football web site. The best part about it was everyone that visited the site would get either a free DVD player, or complete installed car sound system. The visitors would only need to give up their social security numbers, bank account numbers, and copies of their valid drivers licenses. Then I realized that I’m too damn lazy to steal from other people.

I’m going back to bed now. Someone call me when the rerun of the 2004 World Series of Poker is on. You know the one where the one guy goes all in and he loses. That was incredible, I just can’t get enough of it.

All I want from this Blog is a funny t-shirt. You guys will make $$$$ on that. As long as it has something clever on the front and easy rip off sleeves.

How bout some Fuler cup t-shirts? That should get the cash cow mooing!

Of coures..all XXXL, Jersey cotton except for the midsection which should be an expando-weave/spandex maternity panel for the accomadation of forebearer gutor of our fat suit to further our careers as shady, student section liquor purveyors at Bobby Dodd complemented with wetnappish or babybib-like material(Velvetex maybe?) on the bicep portion of the bright orange 3/4 baseball sleeve garment for the purpose of soaking up BBQ sauce, cheeto remanants, blood of 3rd string freshmam DB devoured in double overtime game after blown coverage and lack of sideline snack foods.

I’d buy EDSBS branded jorts.

Meh…all the Rivals subscribers are just gonna get pissed at Kevin for not taking college football as seriously as humanly possible.

Jerri Blank, hahahahaha. That was my favorite show. I can’t wait for the Strangers With Candy movie to come out this fall. Cheers, Orson.

EDSBS gear would be fantastic.
Might I suggest a denim vest with EDSBS emblazoned on a left breast pocket (or as SEC fans call it “Flask Holder”).
The back should be able to be customized.
Mine would have ornate stitching of Calvin (but not Hobbes) pissing on Mark May’s head.

Holy crap.

Amy Sedaris has great breasts.

Mine would be a dragon with a Charlie Weiss head. The dragon would breath fire on all conferences listed at the bottom os the jean vest. The Dragon would also be a fat ass.

And it would be eating a sandwich.

Sedaris is one weird cat.

Her brother writes some funny stuff, though. If you haven’t read Me Talk Pretty Some Day, I highly recommend it. Especially the You Can’t Kill the Rooster essay. It’s sweet like candy treats.

Odell,
Love the dragon idea. Though I worry you might have been watching Starsky and Hutch on HBO too much.
Maybe this could be an EDSBS contest to design the official EDSBS “logo” for the front pocket? (The Wuerffel/Ball Coach pic wouldn’t translate well to stitching.)
Winner gets the first (free) vest and matching jorts.
How ‘bout it Orson?
FYI – Amazingly, I spelled “Wuerffel” correctly without first consulting Wikipedia. I would’ve, should’ve, could’ve killed in the Bee last night.

First, I’m just humbled that I got a Don King photo. :-)

The change at Fanblogs will mean more Rivals stuff bubbling up. That’s a good thing, in general, because there are a lot of strong forums in the Rivals family. Some have a good ear to the ground and occassionally break some news between all the sniping & forum chest-thumping. Does that mean Fanblogs will be a shill for Rivals? I don’t think so. (Or at least I won’t be around if it happened.) But, yeah, Fanblogs will use the scour some of the Rivals resources for content, you bet.

As far as the deal itself goes, there’s a lot I can’t/shouldn’t say, but I think Fanblogs had cracked just enough of the mainstream surface that the name was worth a little something to Rivals. Do they think we’re ground-breaking? Doubtful. Do they think we’re clever? No, not even my wife thinks I’m clever. Do they think they can find a strategy that includes Fanblogs? I guess they do.

So, for the meantime, I’m happy, but…now I’ve got this huge craving to go read Bust Magazine. :-)

If you guys do find it necessary to generate a revenue stream, EDSBS gear is the way to go. I’m thinking t-backs to wear under the jorts…

Okay, This is going to get a little wierd. I need to see two Dragons.

I love would to see Fulmer Cup tee’s out there but no more than 10 minutes after they came off the printing press UTenn would have your ass in court. UTenn would get all of the shirts confiscated and then the shirts would eventually be sewn together and given to Fat Phil to use as a bib.

When I think of Fullmer, I think of Boss Hogg eating a plateful of ribs. Am I the only one that thinks that?

Gotta love any “Strangers With Candy” reference. Now, I expect you to raise the bar, something along the lines of the “Flatpoint Donkey goes to Juarez.”

-Prinicpal (not Rolando and certainly not Tray) Blackmon.

I’m with Odell 51 — EDSBS t-shirts will bring home the bacon. Just remember: if my t-shirt has “number 11” on the back, it better be for Ben (Did the Ol’ Ball Coach call him “Bennie?”) Hanks. Avast ye, Leach… Blackbeard Hanks was a real pi-rate. Arrrggghhh!

look, if you are going to make shirts, you have to listen to your gay audience: me.

make a dark blue tee-shirt with the logo at the top going across the chest. keep it relatively thin. maybe three inches tall. and fucking sell smalls. i can’t tell you how many cool shirts are sold that only have mediums.

but seriously, sell a shirt in time for football season.

if you are having charlie weis/dragon combo, work trogdor in, get a little more dough with a deal with homestar runner, and have Weis “burninating” the GT d-backs. Hell, I can’t think of a better combination that Strong Bad and Tits. I really can’t.

Strangers with Candy reference. I have said it before and I will say it again: Swindle is a god among men. A god, damn you.
