EDSBS RADIO: EARTHQUAKE EDITION
EDSBS Live! Radio without commercials, songs, or clean language.
What: EDSBS Live! online radio, presenting the earthquake edition. Screw you, uncertainty. We’re pegging the improbable in this edition, predicting college football’s earthquakes months ahead of time.
When: 7:30 Eastern, 4:30 Earthquake Standard Time.
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. We’d love to talk to you, but remember to brace yourself under the nearest doorjamb before doing so.
Who: Hopefully, technology holding, we’ll talk to you and listener Kleph, who was in Peru for the 7.7 earthquake this week.
How excited are we? Star Blazers excited, motherfuckers. We’re leaving Mother Earth to save the human race.
Four Questions:
1. Pick this year’s earthquake in your neck of the woods. For us possum-eatin’ folks in the SEC, it’ll be Vanderbilt beating Tennessee, Florida, or Georgia. We’re busy praying to gods we don’t even believe in that it’s not Florida.
2. Pick the national earthquake. Whenever USC loses their first game.
3. Name the player out of nowhere who you’d like to see ascend from relative obscurity to greatness in a single stroke of genius. Jehuu Caulcrick, Michigan State running back who survived the war in Liberia and is now a running back for the Spartans. Anyone who survived Liberia and escaped a decent, sane person gets our vote.
4. What’s the most unpredictable thing that ever happened to you? Besides a 6.2 earthquake hitting while we were in a crowded Asian city? Someone dropped a cinderblock on our car from an overpass in Tampa at two in the morning, missing the windshield by two inches or so. If we hadn’t been speeding, we’d have met the cinderblock traveling at eighty miles an hour teeth-first. Viva Tampa!

#54 Thanks Kleph.
Don’t worry, the family enjoyed the trip. Though getting to some of the places required a lot of work, they were all well worth it.
As far as the earthquake, since I teach geology it was a huge bonus rather than a detraction (obviously I wouldn’t wish for the death and destruction to happen but if it had to happen then I’m glad I was there for the experience). I have some great stories to tell in class.
I was very glad you pointed out the seismic safety zone signs when we went out to dinner. Heading for the one in the hotel made the family feel much better. I think you should follow up on that T-shirt idea.

You know…..is it just me or does anyone else notice that when the midwest guys throw knives at each other that is seems kind of lame? When the good ole SEC boys throw knives at each other……they throw knives.

BG sorry to inform you of this, but UM was playing football for almost ten years before ND started, thus the all-time wins statistic is a little flawed, not to mention skewed. Skewed by the fact that UM would essentially introduce the game of football to schools who were unfamiliar with the game, and then proceed to paste them for decades, and thereby increasing, or inflating, the amount of all-time wins.
As for the winning percentage, enjoy it while you can, because ND is right behind (0.002 I think) after suffering through two of the worst coaches in its history.

1. Wazzu SHOCKS Wisconsin (not likely, but it could happen)
2. TEAM REDACTED over tOSU (or Michigan)
3. Alex Brink. He’s a good QB, and with an upset in #1, will get noticed.
4. I was waiting to get into a crowded restaurant in Florence, Italy, and saw Tony Bennett come out, stoned drunk. Someone was holding him up or else he would have fallen over. It was surreal. There’s certain people you can never imagine like that, and I think Tony was one of them. I can’t see him singing now without thinking of that moment.

1. Totally selfish, but SMU over Texas Tech. We played them close last time they were in town, and we’re much better this year. It would be the first time SMU would have beaten one of the SWC-to-Big XII deserters. I’d say SMU over TCU at that craphole they call a stadium, but it wouldn’t really be an earthquake, since SMU currently posesses the Iron Skillet.
2. USC losing. Can ESPN handle that?
3. Again, totally selfish. Justin Willis, SMU QB. He’s actually getting publicity for the numbers he put up last year as a true freshman. Plus, last year he beat up a gay stalker who wouldn’t leave him alone and got suspended for a game. Guy deserves a break.
4. Probably bumping and grinding at a club in Durham with Wojo while I was in law school. You’d be really surprised at how well that white boy can move on the dance floor.

To 27:
Just because Lloyd Carr doesn’t technically go 9-3 every year does not take away the intent between the Lloyd “9-3″ Carr nickname. It results from the simple fact that the man loses too many he shouldn’t and, yes, can’t win the big one.
Carr’s career is basically based on beat John Cooper’s Ohio State teams, which just proved how incompetent Cooper was. Tressel has owned him. And Carr’s Michigan teams cannot avoid the crippling loss (save for last year). Ty Willingham beat Michigan twice with really, really crappy teams. TY WILLINGHAM!!!
