EDSBS LIVE! THE UNDERRATED EDITION
What: EDSBS LIVE online radio.
Why listen? Because we’re talking about the Big East, indicating a high probability of West Fuckin’ Virginia references in the broadcast. WE DRINK DA BEAST AND FUCK FAT BITCHES IN HAYSTACKS–at least tonight, we do.
Where: At NowLive, where you can chat with each other and the show hosts throughout the broadcast in the online forum (now with added bacon pants). To phone in to the show, just call (310) 984-7600.
Who: Mike from Card Chronicle, and Greg Auman, USF beat writer for the tenacious St. Petersburg Times.
Our four questions… As always, the format for short attention spans for the show, this time focusing on the underrated, which the Big East traditionally has been since time immemorial.
1. Most undervalued team, 2007? BYU. The tradition of making math difficult for the scoreboard operators in the Mountain West continues, but BYU put the irons to Oregon last year in the Las Vegas Bowl as much with their defense as they did with John Beck’s tasteful, politely accurate Mormon passing.
Over on this side of the continental divide…how about Arkansas? Same rushing offense from last year and one more year of experience for Casey Dick to bring him just a hair closer to competent ain’t bad. And their schedule is easier this year than it was last year.
2. Give us one underrated coach and one underrated announcer
Brian Kelly, wacky man that he is, coach of Cincinnati, who put Central Michigan into a bowl game. Again: Brian Kelly, the man who put Central Michigan into a bowl game. Salute, you cretins. Honorable mention: Rich Brooks, the coach so old and salty we got scurvy just typing this.
Underrated announcer: Bill Curry. He’s got a batter-fried voice and makes simple, clear observations about what one team is doing on the field against another. Novel concept, especially from the network that brings you FORCED CONFLICT BETWEEN TWO YELLING INTERLOCUTORS every ten minutes.
3. Advice that you’ve been given that you undervalued and wish you hadn’t.
“You should think about taking business classes, or at least something to back up that English degree.” Oh, tales of woe, you all begin with one simple declaration: “Major, English.”
4. Tell us an undervalued sexual asset (e.g. hand strength, ownership of a quality bed).
Going with strength here. You may like your weakling anime fantasies, but we want some pushin’ back, dammit. It takes two to make a rodeo.
Join us tonight–or we’ll send one-eyed Gators after you.

PeterPumpkinHead- I mean related to each other. I was a rather dumb college guy, and decided to play both ends of an older sister Sr/ younger sister Fr combo. Worst decision, ever.
However, rodeo sex -is- all that it is hyped up to be.

NOOOOOO!!!! Not Bill Curry. Hey, have I ever mentioned that the center is the most important position on the football field?

#23 - Orson - Touche’ !
You’re right, of course, and I have a wonderful daughter whom I love dearly because of it, so really it isn’t nearly as bad as I made it sound.

1. UV team - Okie State. They’re gonna beat Georgia and Texas, just watch. Course, they’ll probably also lose to Baylor.
2. UV coach - Jim Leavitt. Dude’s taken a program that didn’t exist, used second tier talent (albeit second tier Florida talent) and crafted a nice program.
UV announcer - Chuck Davis, late of TBS. I guess he’ll be doing BCS games again this year.
3. Beware the Latin girl…
4. Courage, just courage.

Wait, will, do you mean sistas, or literally girls who look just like you and share your parents?

Bill Curry once compared Ron Dayne to a ball peen hammer multiple times in a single game. WTF?
Bill Curry calling a game is on the list of things that makes me want to die a little bit.

#34 “you should have started looking for a job… last month”
I was in the same boat as you. Didnt start looking until the thesis was finished. 9 months later I got a job.
Chin up though buddy, the market is better now than back then.
Also, GE is hiring all over the country if you are looking.

1. Undervalued team: UNT
They’re going bowling under new coach Todd Dodge this year, I’m calling it.
2. Underrated coach: Jim Grobe
He won the ACC with an offense that averaged 3.9 yds a carry. Yes, the ACC was down last year, but that’s still quite a feat.
3. “Don’t take your money out of the 401(k) plan. Just roll it over into a Roth IRA.”
On the cheap side, I think that little mistake cost me ~$25,000.
4. Women with Southern accents. Nothing better than hearing her call you ’sugah’ while making the beast with three backs.

Well both of those games were tough on USC fans. I’m still sure that had USC won either of them then the Trojans would have been the team to beat up on tOSU and win the MNC.
I think OSU was a good answer for the question, though it looks like it could be an up year for the Pac 10. Cal, OSU, UCLA and ASU all look dangerous to me and Oregon or WSU could rise up as well. Hopefully one of them will join USC in the BCS come January.
