Sure, Brian was the one who told us about Brady Quinn dolled up in leather-dude gear and shaking it like Mr. Slave at AJ Hawk’s wedding. Well, him and the Big Lead, we suppose.
But did he add this kind of value to the photo? We don’t think so, ’scro.
What have I…what have I…what have I done to deserve this…
To be fair: if our body looked like Brady Quinn’s, this would be our version of a man-burqa.
Declare your love for the wishbone, and the ‘bone freaks come out of the woodwork. Reader Peter sends us the following email:
Dear Orson and Stranko,
It was an absolute pleasure to log on this morning and check out the video clip of Oklahoma running the ‘Bone. While fairly simple to execute, this offense was absolute deadly in its efficiency and effectiveness. As a long-time Colorado Buffaloes fan, even I have to admit that the Sooners’ wishbone attack was a beautiful thing to watch.
That said, I think you could have found a much better video clip to illustrate the mechanics of the offense. May I present to you QB Darian Hagan, circa 1989, making use of the ‘Bone offense to produce what many consider the greatest run in Colorado football history:
Late pitch! As usual, our readers prove to have a longer memory, better taste, and a longer reach into the archives than we do. And yes, Peter, that block by the fullback is just obscene. One minute his man’s there, and the next he’s an irrelevance.
A quick roundup of all the quote action you can handle, since that’s the only college action you’re getting for over hundred days. Think of it less as “meaningless words devoid of reference to actual games,” and more as “hot tongue action.”
Al Borges talks about Brandon Cox’s below-the-waist problems. Borges, Auburn’s offensive coordinator, says he’s sleeping well at night thanks to having a senior quarterback. He also blames Cox’s down year in 2006 to “below-the-waist injuries,” which we all suffered at one point in college, no? At least while we were dating the school’s one and only female hammer thrower?
With the news that Cox is returning, Georgia’s sleeping well, too.
FLORIDA WANTS COOKIE!!! Ramon “Cookie” Buchanan, who one coach describes as the next Reggie Nelson. If true, we truly do want cookie.
Cookie!!!
Bruins Nation’s Mullah Nestor issues the yearly fatwa on Karl Dorrell, calling 2007 his “show-me” year. 11-1, beating USC, and a Pac-10 championship. And a pony, too! Gimme gimme gimme gimme!
The Nestor/Karl Dorrell explosion index may have to be this year’s Notre Dame Suicide Watch EDSBS Featured Graphic of Dubious Scientific Value.
MZone’s cranking through Michigan’s greatest players by number, and also would like you to know that they would not sleep with Sophia Loren at the age of 74.
Bill thinks the ‘Canes possible move to Pro Player Stadium 30 miles north of their existing location in the stinking, fetid, piss-reeky Orange Bowl would demean the traditions of the Miami program. The Orange Bowl has become to college football stadiums what Keith Jackson was to college football coverage in 2005: a creaky legend desperately in need of retiring. That’s a matter of consensus opinion in most places.
Advantages of the move, though, should be considered. You could change the demographics of Miami fans in one move, drawing a few more of the northern burb-y types into the fold. Pro Player isn’t out in Yeehaw Junction; like most sprawly Florida cities, it’s part of the concrete coastline, and adjacent to the vast northern suburbs of Broward county. Not bad, especially considering these are the guys showing up to your games now and rooting on the FAU FIU/Miami fight last year:
YEAHHHH! This is better than that last UFC fight, dude.
Getting further away from them can’t be bad, which leads us to our second point: for a program priding itself on being professional prep school for the NFL, tradition doesn’t matter. There’s nothing besides winning and money at Miami, and moving from the Orange Bowl will allow them to sell more luxury boxes without cashing out the treasury on a new stadium. And that “in-town” fanbase? They don’t come to games that don’t matter, as evidenced by scads of empty seats for many non-conference games.
What could be more Sunshine State compatible than commuting 30 miles to your job to work in a soulless corporate dungeon? That’s what everyone who watches Miami does. Making the players do it would be sweet, ironic justice and also make economic sense for all concerned.
Brian Murphy of the Idaho Statesman stopped by EDSBS LIVE!!!11 last night and braved our four questions, but not before chatting a bit about all things Boise State with us. Fact: there is no glacial sheet of ice that covers Idaho in the winter. Also fact: the Boise beatwriter gets to go to Hawaii next year to cover an extremely important and unmissable conference game that he must, must attend.
Suck it, SEC beatwriters!
Murphy, author of Blue Magic, a book about Boise’s mythic 2006 season, (BUY, SLAVES! CONSUME!) answers our questions in the 3 minutish clip below. Easily digestable in between your boss’s monitoring sweeps of the office:
Murphy also stuck around with us after the show and was the first to participate in our five minute Snap Previews, which we’re attempting to do for every single stinkin’ team in the country before the season starts. (more…)
Stand back, ladies and gentleman. The aggregate manliness of this picture may knock panties off pudenda, impregnate virgins, and cause thick dark hair to sprout on young male children spontaneously.

Motion approved–you may begin your day properly now.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.
