PRE-COFFEE AND STILL SOMEWHAT COHERENT: ORSON ON RIVALS RADIO

by Orson on Feb 15, 2007 1:40 PM EST

We made it to our appointment with Rivals Radio's Bill King early this a.m. despite having nary a drop of coffee in our system. Coherence reigned, though we continued our bull-in-a-china-shop streak of talking over our host yet again. (That's twenty-two in a row, we think.)

Listen here. Bill is a very prepared and together guy, period; however, he's particularly together for someone with eight kids.

Orson Swindle: poorly trained radio livestock.

Also, we cobbled together the following math for creating Dan Hawkins:

Add Jerry Glanville:

Plus Bam-Bam:

Equals one mad iron-pumping Zen coaching machine:

I was always dreaming about very powerful people, dictators and things like that. I was just always impressed by people who could be remembered for hundreds of years, or even, like Jesus, be for thousands of years remembered.

Wow! That was a great listen.

And as a Cal fan, it was nice to see us get some name-dropping.

For the record: Yes, there’s a fault line underneath, but those tree-huggers are, essentially, delaying any renovation to the 84-year-old stadium that would make it earthquake-proof.

It’s frustrating as hell, especially since Tedford’s success is the only reason we’ve been able to raise all this money.

The Birmingham City Council delayed renovation of 80-odd year old Legion Field simply because they’re dumb pricks.

Now they’ll never get an NFL franchise. ::sniff::

I like the Hardaway-esque clarification of “your partner”. As always, quality stuff.

Bam Bam was one of the first retarded people to make it big on television, predating Corky from Life Goes On by decades.

Seven kids, eight kids, who can keep up with them all?

Orson, who sang the “Everyday Should Be a Holiday”? It broke up in the interview.

The Dandy Warhols.

Nice job sharing the love for SMQ’s Chris Fowler’s Diary. I’m surprised you didn’t throw in the Fulmer Cup with the App. State and 52 Reasons ESPN Sux postings.

Orson, are you complaining about the interview being too early? GO PLAY INTRAMURALS BROTHER!

I know this is not related, but you have to see this article and comment on it if you haven’t already.

Big Ten whining apparently goes all the way up to the top.

I know of three people who use brother or ‘bro’ consistently in regular conversation – John Daly, Hulk Hogan, and a man with a severe head injury. I am having trouble determining whether Hawkins fits into this group of misfits or not.

Re #12: Mr. Swindle set Jim Delaney on fire on Monday. The smell of singed hair and charred carcass still permeates the Loop.

Due to the fact that there is no admin for the EDSBS Facebook group, I have become admin temporarily. I wish to turn over admin privileges either to you or to someone that you nominate so that the group can become better advertised and worthy of its connection to you and your great site. Please email me and tell me what you want to do with the Facebook group.

Nice work, yet again.

It cracks me up how “yankee” is still a viable insult. I mean, really? Approximately 150 years after the Civil War, that still gets points? Loooooong memories you suthun folks have.

Orson,

I’ve never heard Bill King before. Or so I thought. The deep bass and prolific breeding skills lead one to conclude that he’s the vocal genius behind the Lee Corso Slo Jam. Is true, n’est-ce pas?

(Yes, I know it’s a political blog, but I spend a lot of time on those, as compared to spending 0 minutes on the Illini message boards, which I’m sure are all sorts of fired up).

Dink— Bill did not sing the Lee Corso song. For now, its melodious author’s identity will remain a mystery.

Love the new math on Hawkins.

What is it about Colorado and delusional head coaches? The guy who founded Promise Creatures; a guy who thinks the next bet is going to pay off big; and now someone who’s contemplating dictators and Jesus in the same thought.

Must be the altitude.
