89 days and counting. Get excited or Tamba Hali will annihilate you in the parking lot.

Troy Smith, friend to professional defensive ends everywhere:

I’m sitting here, at my desk, with tears in my eyes. Thanks.

BTW, when are you fellas going to just admit to us all that you’re Penn Staters?

We’re like Galactus, PSUGirl. We look like whatever you want us to look like. And we feed on whole universes to satisfy our undying hunger.

PSUgirl – I’m brimming with pride and swelling with tears.

SOMEBODY BEER ME!

Brasic’s lucky the numbers didn’t come flying off his jersey.

I like the fact that when you pause the second video at just the right time, Smith is actually completely upside down and his head is the only thing touching the ground.

I like that fact too.

I also like how Scotty Paxson was on that loose football like it was a loose co-ed.

I have my tickets for the opening game.
I have my hotel reservations in San Francisco.
And I have a sharpened stick with which to greet Corso.

Longest. Three. Months. Ever.

Holly -

Kill the pig, cut his throat, spill his blood…

Sorry… sharpened stick references plus sweet, sweet defensive end destruction makes me think of Lord of the Flies…

Poor Piggy…..

Holly a bit soft?

A sharpened stick for Corso?

Some Brazilians were recently caught chasing an opponent team’s bus full of supporters with…….2 GRENADES!! Now that is whack.

I don’t want to kill him. Just poke him with the stick. A lot.

SKLM—if it were a home game, THEN we’d be talking. But they’re playing at Cal…must tone down SEC antics for the flower-wreathed hippies of Berkeley.

PTI just talked about [name redacted] having to read the words to “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley. There has to be something you guys can do with that.

by John on Jun 4, 2007 5:59 PM EDT reply actions

Tone down? What are you afraid of? Them rolling over you in their hybrid cars that you could flip like the Matrix? Shooting you? They’re for gun control. The worst you have to fear is that they make a bomb that combines fuel-air explosive with patchouli oil. Show up in overalls and barefeet . . .

Orson, they just showed NAME REDACTED on PTI. Apparently, he was given the opportunity to sing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame,” during the 7th Inning Stretch at Wrigley this past weekend.

He did not know the words and had to read the lyrics from a piece of paper.

Who does not know the words to, “Take Me Out To The Ballgame?”

Ridiculous…

Holly:

Whatever you do, do not listen to Lee Corso’s take on Teddy Pendergrass’s “Love T.K.O.” When he sings that, the babes become like putty in his wrinkly-Geritol-stained hands.

MCab: It just seems like overkill. (I may very well change my mind if Cal attains yet another inexplicable top 10 preseason ranking.)

SKLM: I had almost managed to forget that day. The horror. The horror.

I’ve got 87 days, but I suppose whatever Thursday night MAC game kicks off the season is but a bump off a butter knife. The scratchin’ has begun.

“But I swear, it’s just this washin’ powder…”

I love how in the first video that he’s still moving really fast in the slow-motion replay.

by DawgsLickBawls on Jun 4, 2007 7:01 PM EDT reply actions

Oh yeah, that was just what I needed…

by Trojan Chica on Jun 4, 2007 7:16 PM EDT reply actions

Is there such a thing as human shrapnel? Because if so, Brasic definitely still has pieces of Hali in him.

Holly,

Tennessee fan?

by The Power T on Jun 4, 2007 7:28 PM EDT reply actions

I’ll never forget that first clip. Seeing it live I was convinced he killed that poor kid.

Brittany Spears Cheescake Suggestion (for all of those who do NOT like the Regular EDSBS cheesecake):

Here is Ms. Spears cottage – cheese – cheesecake:

Ewww cottage cheesecake

RedDevilEA, the Thursday night kickoff game is LSU vs. Miss St. If you like the idea of Matt Flynn throwing 72 touchdown passes, this should be entertaining. Otherwise, drink quickly, so as not to really be aware and alert during the second half.

Human shrapnel or no, the key thing to remember is that Brasic keeps getting better and better.

by HFS on Jun 5, 2007 9:50 AM EDT reply actions

Orson, thanks for posting that. Between that and the discussion this morning on a Minnesota board about the potential OSU/MN early season clash of the undefeated teams, I’m shaking in my chair. And it’s not due to the pot of coffee I’ve had.

That’s what you get for renedging on a commitment to Minnesota, Mr. Brasic. Karma’s a motherfucker.

Poor Timmy Brasic. He had so much to live for.

seriously, when was the last time psu was relevant?

It’s still in my head after what, 6 months? 8 months?

Swindle, you magnificent bastard.

I wish my sack of Brasic was as cool as that one.

by Raskolnikov on Jun 5, 2007 12:39 PM EDT reply actions

“seriously, when was the last time psu was relevant?”

Way back in the prehistoric season of 2005. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Michigan beat them on the last play to keep them from an undefeated season.

by Brewster Crew on Jun 5, 2007 12:46 PM EDT reply actions

No, they were still irrelevant then. Was that the year dinosaurs roamed the orange bowl, i.e. bowden and paterno?

by lawtool on Jun 5, 2007 3:01 PM EDT reply actions

I don’t know about irrelevant- The referees needed to give Loyd Carr extra time for another play.
….But I mean the AP was all ready to give the Mythical National Championship to USC anyway- Because nobody could possibly beat Bush and Leinart- right?
