Inspired by one of our commenters suggestions on how we can overcome our powerful antipathy for the sport of golf, we present the best possible explanation of the game of football we’ve ever seen.
We particularly enjoyed the Owen Schmitt cameo at the 2:20 mark as the fullback.
Every year, Phil Steele holes up in the television hive he calls his offices, watches tape until his eyeballs bleed, and comes out with his guide to college football. And most years, Phil picks a team to beat somewhere in college football that exceeds expectations, most often based on the fact that the team, while holding a losing record for the year, improved enough over the offseason to warrant an expectation of marginal improvement. And at those margins, the points will tip their way, and voila–winning season.
Margins are a bitch. Ask Ryan Succop.
It should be stated that what we just said is a gross oversimplification of Steele’s methodology, a morass of calculations, formulas, intense film study, differential equations, animal sacrifice, and more than a few occult ceremonies. (more…)
We at EDSBS have a lasting affection for Scott Stapp, who despite being born an LD dwarf overcame his circumstances to become THE LEAD SINGER OF THE GREATEST BAND EVER, CREED. Stranko’s a particular fan of Stapp’s vocal stylings, particularly after large, starchy meals when something’s got to get the digestive system moving and moving fast.
Stapp has a new song he’s singing this morning, however, following an arrest for domestic violence: “With Palms Wide Open.” (Irishoutsider from FireMarkMay gets credit there.)
Creed rulz!
Scott Stapp, American hero, is thinking deeply about slapping you right now.
The Cup enjoys another slow week. How slow? We’re counting drunken trashings of dorm mirrors, for Jeebus’ sake.
Notes, updates, and apologies follow.
Notes, Updates, and Outright Apologies.
Though it’s not D-1, we should mention the outstanding accomplishments of the Montana State Grizzlies Bobcats, who in addition to being one of our favorite teams to earn pennants on in NCAA 2007 have just earned a raised eyebrow by firing their coach, Mike Kramer. (”No, honey. Throwing 85 yard bombs on easy to Dallas Baker does not get old. Ever.”) (more…)
Waiting to get a read on Les Miles? We’ve got the word: flaaaaaky. Has sugar problems. Potentially born without a governor on his inner monologue, and not in that mad professor way like Mike Leach, but more like a sugar-crazed regional manager going nutsini at a quarterly reports meeting.
(”I WILL TEAR THIS PHONEBOOK IN HALF TO PROVE TO YOU HOW SERIOUS I TRULY AM ABOUT EXCELLENCE!!!”)
Miles dropped the F-bomb in reference to Alabama. And when we say the F-bomb, we mean fuck, as in “fucking Alabama,” the answer he gave to a question about LSU’s biggest rivalry. He can be confused for Godzilla. He lets it rip! He seems just a pace out of step with most public speaking situations, which leads us to our story.
Miles missed a trip to Monroe, Louisiana last week due to bad weather. Being the nice professional that he is, Miles addressed the crowd gathered at the dinner via cellphone. (Again, non-SEC sports fans. These are adults standing rapt around a cell phone talking about football. You don’t take this shit as seriously. You just. Can’t.)
Miles opening line to the crowd he couldn’t see? “I look forward to getting to Shreveport to see a lot of friends.”
HELLLOOOOOOO CLEVELAND!!!!
It’s ok, Les. Dangerous Toys did the same thing during the Monsters of Rock tour in Shreveport, and everyone was so hammered no one noticed. And they were HUGE, man.
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.
