EDSBS RADIO: NOW WITH 20 PERCENT LESS TRAINWRECK!
Tonight, EDSBS Radio reappears…

…only this time with such innovations as sound quality, a moderator for callers, and interstitial music and commercials that won’t deafen you. We’ve moved the show to the Now! Network–check the preview page here–and will have someone manning the boards for us, controlling sound quality, and exterminating all of the bugs that bedeviled the initial installment of the show.
The details:
What: EDSBS Radio
When: 8:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m. EST
Where: On the EDSBS channel at Now Live.
How: To call in? (310) 984-7600. You may also register at Now Live and participate in the live chat, where we’ll be taking comments and working them into the broadcast.
Why: Because you, like us, need to confess to the fact that you’re going to tailgate your spring practice game like the desperate, depraved person you truly are.
Who: Peter Bean of Burnt Orange Nation and Orson from this website, along with special guest Warren St. John of the New York Times and the best book ever written about college football fandom, Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer.
The five questions from last time have been whittled down to four questions. To prepare ahead of time, your study list appears below:
1. What do you know about your team going into spring practice?
2. Better still…what don’t you know about your team going into spring?
3. What’s your offseason coping mechanism?
4. What’s a badass death?
The final question has to do something with a long running debate between EDSBS attorney to the stars Weo Lee and ourselves as to what constitutes a badass death. His prime examples:
–Brad Pitt’s death in Legends of the Fall where he fights a bear.
About 10,000 Juneau residents briefly lost power Jan. 28 after a bald eagle lugging a deer head crashed into transmission lines.
“This is the story of the overly ambitious eagle who evidently found a deer head in the landfill,” said Gayle Wood, an Alaska Electric Light & Power spokeswoman. The hefty bounty apparently bogged down the eagle, which failed to clear transmission lines as it flew away from the landfill, she said. When a repair crew arrived, they found the eagle carcass with the deer head nearby.
The eagle “got a hold of a little bit more than he could handle,” Wood said.
–A hypothetical he’s been refining for years where he plays a guitar solo on top of a jet that’s just dropped a tactical nuclear weapon into a hurricane off the coast of Florida. Did we mention he’s wearing a speedo and a hockey mask, too?
These will be on the exam tonight. Prepare accordingly. And hey, they’re taking us on the network despite us bringing down the overall hotness of the operation considerably. After all, Adrianne Curry is one of the hosts on the network, and she married Peter Brady. That’s uber-hott.

We’re bringing the ass factor in the neighborhood down considerably.

Not yet…we’ll make sure that happens, though.

1. My coach can buy your coach.
2. Can Major Applewhite do better than Mike Shula? I don’t really see how he can do any worse.
3. BBQ competitions. Mobile, Birmingham, and then off to Memphis(hopefully).
4. Major T.J. “King” Kong riding the bomb down in Dr. Strangelove.

With respect to Question #4, is there any better portrayal of a bad ass death than Pacino at the end of “Scarface?”

Off-topic but somebody needs to get a picture of this: According to a Deadspin commentor, the signs welcoming visitors to Loudonville, Ohio bear a sign saying “Birthplace of [NAME REDACTED]“.

Wooderson says:
1. Jimmy Clausen is coming to save us…!
2. …but we don’t have any clue if he’s even goign to start. Let alone how our 3-4 defense is going to look.
3. Alcohol and morally ambiguous female New England liberal arts college graduates with low self esteem.
4. William Wallace in Braveheart. ‘Nuff Said

Aerobab says:
1. I know that we’re in our 9th consectuive “rebuilding year” since the MNC of 1998. John Chavis will also do his annual trick of piecing together a patchwork of players to field one of the statistically-best defenses in the NCAA, despite having to replace a half-dozen “All-Everythings” every season.
2. No flippin’ clue who’s going to step up and catch the laser beams fired by Erik Ainge. An accurate QB is worthless if the WRs can’t catch the ball. I still don’t know why we’re flirting with the no-huddle.
3. EDSBS and booze. Both in excess quantities.
4. If you die at the hands of this man, then you are either a completely drunken dumbass, or a total badass. Your choice, I suppose. Evidence, here. (Caution: REALLY bad soundtrack. Muting is advised.)

1: How good is Tim Tebow!
2: How good is Tim Tebow?
3: Florida basketball — fantastic! After that’s over, having Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit chiding me for running the score up on Miami in NCAA Football 07/08.
4: I can’t answer this one. Death’s not badass to me.
Originally, all 4 of my answers were going to be Tim Tebow.

1. I know the head coach offered scholerships to the entire western seaboard. The legacy of Dennis Erickson has finally and completely faded, our livestock are (mostly) safe.
2. Names of many of the players who will be staring for the beavers (lots of joco talent). In truth, I dont know much about this years team.
3. March madness and the rugby world cup!!!
4. Depends….. Impressing my friends or making me happy?

I think the monks who set themselves on fire in protest of the vietnam war is helaciously badass. Lotus position and total silence, what a statement!

Big Jon says:
1) ASU’s players have been complaining about how much more they have been working out under Erickson as opposed to Koetter. This can only translate to good things on the field.
2) Can Dennis Erickson patch all of the holes by September?
3) Watching other teams play in the NCAA tournament. That and beer.
4) Ed Orgeron torching me with a flamethrower, then smokng my ashes.

maskedavenger says:
1. With Henne, Hart, Manningham, etc. we will score.
2. Will we be able to stop other teams from doing the same – more specifically does Morgan Trent have an ounce of confidence left?
3. Rereading the same recruiting drivel over and over only to have it all fall apart in early February. No, I am not thinking about Ronald Johnson, why do you ask?
4. Not that any death could be pleasant, but how about “Now I am going to show you how an Italian dies.”

Confess?? Bitch, I’m not just tailgating, I’m bringing 92,000 of my closest friends and the NCAA Marathon Championship. Hell, my grad school program is hosting a reunion that weekend since they know we’ll all be in town anyway.
1. They are throwing up in the weight room much more often than they did last year
2. Who’s going to survive Spring Practice
3. I’m not sure… the blackouts keep getting worse each year
4. Overly exhuberant Erotic Asphixiation

1. We have some decent wide receivers who are short on experience.
2. How are we going to use 8 running backs at once?
3. Soccer
4. At the end of a 30 day food and sex binge with Nigella Lawson, while she’s riding you like there’s no tomorrow.

1. New coach, so I get to use the “rebuilding year” excuse.
2. Are the jucos gonna help the OL this year? I hate to see Meyer get beat up like he did last year.
3. March Madness
4. Crushed pelvis

peachy says:
1 – The offense is gonna kick ass! Tebow! Woooh!!!
2 – What about defense?
3 – Basketball repeat… then, um, soccer? Cycling? Watching David Lee play thirty-five minutes a game off the bench of a lousy Knicks team so that Isaiah can keep him eligible for the Sixth Man Award?
4 – Historical : a heart attack at an advanced age while ‘interviewing’ a troupe of ‘actresses’ (Marechal de Saxe); Fictional : diving a crippled starfighter into the bridge of a star destroyer in a battle to save the galaxy (some Rebel pilot dude – who am I, George Lucas?)

MCab says:
1. As a typical latin male, I normally eschew foreplay of any kind, even if we are talking football. But, if I must answer, then Keiland Williams is still our #1 back.
2. How’s the O-line?
3. Rugby. Get into it. It’s methadone for the gridiron addict.
4.Dammit, someone already got Red Skelton in Strangelove. Very well: After a long battle fighting a “fire worm” with pneumonia, sitting in an improvised throne where you look out and see your ancestors . . .
