EDSBS LIVE! RETRO EDITION.
Tonight we go retro on EDSBS Live, the most satisfying hour and a half of entertainment not featuring Skip Bayless being chased by wolves.
Who? Orson and Peter, of course. Over seven months of honest work between the two of us. That’s commitment, people.
What: EDSBS LIVE online radio You can also click the little EDSBS Live! banner thingy on the right sidebar to get to the show.
Where: At NowLive, where you can chat with each other and the show hosts throughout the broadcast in the online forum, where Orson demonstrates his awesomez in the ADD department by making frequent comments AND talking ninety miles an hour simultaneously. To phone in to the show, just call (310) 984-7600.
What: Tonight our guests will be John Lopez of the Houston Chronicle, bloggeresque columnist and expert on all things Texas, and you, hopefully cranked off three drinks and looking for something to punch.
Drinking? We encourage it. The beverage of the night? Vodka Tonic, please.
Four Questions: As always, our four questions for the night.
1. Who’s the best pre-1990 college football team of all time? Crapshoot of all crapshoots, but we won’t tolerate any Beano Cook-style “AHHHH ARMY ‘47″ arguments, because black people could not play on the same field as white people at that time save for a few enlightened coastal institutions.
2. Your favorite pre-1990 football player? Blasphemy incarnate here, but we’re handing that to Herschel Walker and watching him run over the universe. Dawg or not, he was Jehovah in cleats.
3. Get in touch with your inner Luddite: strike one aspect of the modern game and/or the way its broadcast. Dead horse kicked: commercial breaks, be gone.
4. In our quest to prove Angelina Jolie is the most overrated hottie of all time, we ask you: who’s your favorite retro babe?
Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall in The Big Sleep, any woman who ever appeared in a Federico Fellini movie…ah, there’s a long, long list. But our Ass from the Past is Pam Grier: hot, stylish, forever running around naked and shooting things in the name of vengeance.
See you tonight at 7:30 EST.

Regarding the female issue,
Racquel Welch and Ann Margaret might be the two hottest women of the last 50 years, but I don’t know that they were ever “underrated”.

Southern Papa #68,
I remember that. I believe it was something like 17-12. A few years ago I read an article by a former LSU player from that team who had gotten back in touch with some of his teammates because of the impending death of Charlie McClendon. He had become a writer and had lost interest in football and lost touch with his teammates because of divergent paths. One of those “where has the time gone” pieces without the cheesy, vomit inducing sentimentality. I believe it was in Harper’s or a magazine of similar ilk.
If that ‘79 Trojan team had been coached by McKay or Carroll, it would’ve gone down as one of the greatest of all time. Instead, it’s another story of what might’ve been.

1.1972 USC Trojans.
2. I see your Hershel and raise you Bo Jackson.
3. Celebration rule. College Football was never as much fun once backup Center’s from “Da U” stopped getting a part in every TD dance. I want to see the whole damn 3-deep doing kick-steps in the end zone after every meaningless first quarter field goal.
4. How retro is retro? Joan Cusack in her prime (Say Anything -> My Blue Heaven) still makes my pillow case sticky. Sophia Loren wins if we have to go pre-1980.

3. Ban on booze in stadium
4. Phoebe Cates - best pause ever

Ms. Cardinale was great in everything. As my old pappy would say,”She could make a young man stand up and an old man shout”.
Also for your consideration: Tuesday Weld (in The Cincinnati KId, she could hold her own with Ms. Margaret).
Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams or not.
And if you’re into Scotch and broads, two great broads: Gloria Grahame and Susan Hayward.

I haven’t seen “The Professionals,” but Claudia Cardinale was stunningly beautiful in “Once Upon a Time in the West.” Great catch, nobody remembers her…
