EDSBS LIVE! FALL PRACTICE EDITION.
What you can do while KSU’s Josh Freeman offers to eat your dinner for you…
What: EDSBS Live! online radio, presenting the Fall Practice edition. Hydrate. Stretch. Prepare for the fall and work off that Velveeta belt you’re carrying around with our own 90 minute fall practice. Bring our own bucket.
When: 7:30 Eastern, 4:30 Pacific.
Where: At NowLive, where you can chat with each other and the show hosts throughout the broadcast in the online forum. Or just call (310) 984-7600, since we’re taking any and all callers tonight.
Who: You! A fancy way of saying that we have no guests and are going to crank through all the callers we can possibly get to tonight. The People’s Show! Si se puede!
How excited are we? We’re excited like a lover’s voice cross the mountainside, man.
Our four questions for the show:
1. What’s your fall question marks for your team? For Florida, we have a baby at one corner and a converted running back at another. Fortunately, our first major test involves facing a team with no wide receivers, thus continuing the pattern in the Florida/Tennessee matchup that whatever one team lacks, the other will be unable to take severe advantage of in the game because they lack the tools to take advantage.
2. Who is the player your team CANNOT lose this fall? Tim Tebow. The rest of the roster behind him has exactly zero games of experience. As green as our jolly giant is, the rest of the roster are greener still.
3. Your preseason shopping list?
a. Plane ticket to Baton Rouge.
b. One case Zybrowka vodka
c. New laptop
d. Last minute transfer cornerback from Mountain West.
e. New jorts, of course.
4. What’s something that gets you almost as excited as football? Oh, the answers we’ll get here. For our money, it’s videos of people injuring themselves on different forms of transportation.
See you tonight.

1. Auburn is a team with 4 new offensive linemen, no known entity at WR2 (or WR3), no experience at punter or kicker, a quarterback trying to shake a reputation that labels him “frail” and “slightly above average”, and Steve Gandy just left football after concussion #4 of 2007 (which means Auburn just lost their second starting linebacker since the beginning of spring practice). BE THAT AS IT MAY, the secondary scares me more than anything else (our #1 corner, Jonathan Wilhite, was humiliated in several games last year, chasing 5 steps behind Gamecock and Georgia Bulldog wideouts the way Wile Ethelbert Coyote chases Roadrunner)
2. Though there are better all-around players on the defensive side of the ball (Quentin Groves, Tray Blackmon, and Sen’Derrick Marks), Brandon Cox remains the most important player on the team. A 9th-year senior on an inexperienced offense, he’s the key to any success that the Tigers have this year.
3.
a. some listeners for *MY* radio show
b. time machine so I can attend both Auburn/Florida and Alabama/FSU on Sept 29th
c. ring polish for 2004 National Championship/SEC Championship/Perfect Season ring
d. ESPN “Who’s Now” tournament on DVD
e. cigars to celebrate Auburn upset in Baton Rouge this year
4) NBC’s Thursday Night lineup, fantasy drafts in any sport, Beck live in concert, and sorority bid day here in Auburn

The Ohio State University
1) QB- even though Boeckman has been in the program so long he’s old to enough to have fathered our incoming frosh, he hasn’t played any meaningful football here yet.
2) RB Chris Wells. The other options at RB are Mo Wells and two true freshman (shudder).
3) Phil Steele’s preview mag, because if I don’t see the letters “VHT” in sequence at least 300 times I go into seizures. Plus, not knowing who is projected to be UAB’s 3rd string free safety is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night.
4) Almost as excited as CFB? I tried to come up with something witty, but the truth is our annual beach vacation in Playa Del Carmen & Tulum, Mexico.
Also, maybe the noticeable irritation of others when I refer to my school as “The” Ohio State University…

Alabama:
1) The entire defense, aside from the cornerback position. The LB’s look serviceable, but the DL is a big question mark. True Freshmen might see play time at this position.
2) Antoine Caldwell. Andre Smith might be our monster tackle, but AC is the guy to call the assignments to keep JP Wilson standing upright. He’s also the only other guy on the team that AS doesn’t manhandle in competitive drills.
3) An HDTV cable receiver for my HDTV.
4) An EDSBS 10-update day.

PENN STATE
1. What’s your fall question marks for your team?
Can the offensive line gel fast enough to open holes for question mark #2, RB Austin Scott? Can Austin Scott finally live up to the expectations of his stellar high school career? Will the DT rotation be solid enough to eat up blockers for the AA LB crew (Lee & Connor)?
2. Who is the player your team CANNOT lose this fall?
I’d like to say Dan Connor, but there really is enough quality depth at LB to survive an injury to #40. I’m going to go with TE Andrew Quarless…that’s right, at TE. He’s Morelli’s go to guy in the red zone and has no proven backups.
3. Your preseason shopping list?
Lots of babysitters. Two new babies in my house (twins, bitches!) so they’ll eat up my CFB watching time if I don’t enlist an army of sitters to distract them while I swear at Charlie Weis, Jim Tressel and Lloyd Carr on the TV.
4. What’s something that gets you almost as excited as football?
More than three hours at a time of sleep (see twins above).

tOSU-
1. Will a QB be able to make some decent passes or are we going to be looking at the 1999-2002 era all over again. Also, will our D-Line prove decent after losing 2 300 lbers being replaced by two gus that are 270-275?
2. A lot of people expect me to say Chris Wells, but I am going with Malcom Jenkins here. A true corner, he is physical (6-1 200) and fast (first in NCAA 400m 4×4). I think we have alot of talent behind wells, included the other wells, and Brandan Saine and Boom Herron.
3. Shopping list-
a. A tv, my gf still lives at OSU and I dont wanna watch fucking Gilmore Girls on my hungover Sundays
b. Some new OSU t-Shirts, or possibly a Possession Receiver T-shirt from the EDSBS store.
c. Who knows, Ill start a new job October 1st, and I dont know what kind of hours Ill be working
4.Vagina, some Birth Canal, some Hairy Mooseknuckle, whatever you call it. Im a fan.

1. Can Justin Forsett handle the starting job? Can Desmond Bishop, Daymeion Hughes, Brandon Mebane etc be adequately replaced on D?
2. C Alex Mack. Longshore fat. Need more time throw. Graaaargh.
3. Hm…student section T-shirt, Oregon game ticket, Big Game ticket.
Oh, and how can I forget:

Memo to any Tennessee fans: feel FREE, and I mean FREE to take ANY liberties you wish with the oak trees and their inhabitants outside the stadium.
4. Badminton. Don’t you dare fucking laugh. I will destroy you at leg-wrestling.

Virginia Tech
1. What’s your fall question marks for your team?
O-Line and QB are possibilities, but they aren’t question marks as much as known bad entities that hopefully will improve. My actual question mark is replacing the kicker/punter - a team that lives on defense and tight scores can’t flub this.
2. Who is the player your team CANNOT lose this fall?
Brandon Ore. He basically is the offense and barring injury has a good shot at All-ACC. Beyond him the RB situation gets dismal.
You could also say anyone on the O-Line, but we’ve already lost one ankle so far, so I’m going to pretend that’s not true.
3. Your preseason shopping list?
New orange and maroon effect shirts
Beer
Wings
More beer
Brats
Even more beer
Replacement liver
4. What’s something that gets you almost as excited as football?
Patent litigation and Mario Kart

Georgia Bulldogs
1. What’s your fall question marks for your team?
Will the WR corps finally live up to their potential? Will the light go on for Brandon Miller? Will we ever beat Florida and Auburn in the same season?
2. Who is the player your team CANNOT lose this fall?
Tempted to say Matthew Stafford, but last season proved the answer to this question is our PK Brandon Coutu. With him healthy last season we don’t lose embarrassing games to Vanderbilt or Kentucky.
3. Your preseason shopping list?
Coors Light, Crown Royal, Charcoal, etc.
4. What’s something that gets you almost as excited as football?
Nothing else even comes close.
