EDSBS LIVE! THE FIFTH LIFE OF DENNIS ERICKSON EDITION.
Join us to hear much moaning, sorrow, and feverish football discussion on EDSBS Live! tonight at 7 p.m. EST. As always, we’ll be joined by Peter Bean of Burnt Orange Nation, and we’ll be discussing a number of topics:
–Do we have to put Ohio State first in our poll? Really?
–Can we start potential Gator recruits still in their senior seasons in our secondary immediately? Does this violate NCAA bylaws?
–Is Kansas truly good, or is Texas A&M just flatlining? And where the hell do you get a velour tracksuit in Kansas colors like Mangino’s? Christo made it, we’re guessing.
–Is this Dennis Erickson’s cheery but rundown tavern we’re drinking in? And is it, in fact, home to the darkest of all dark horse national championship candidates, Arizona State?

Meet your bartender:
We’re in ur pollz, makin’ a ruckus
And btw, ASU’s penalties are down from last year having led the Pac-10 in 2005 and 2006 under “disciplinarian”/control freak Dirk Koetter. I guess we’ll get the JuCo thug label when whip Notre Dame in a bowl game. They’re already eligible, right?

tOSU’s schedule might be a turd but at least they’re wiping it clean… with only the whispiest of hershey squirts being a clueless first half against Akron and a “who cares?” performance against the Penguins.
Michigan and USC both dropped the Poop That Ate The BCS Championship, against teams that were no better than Akron or only marginaly better than YSU.
So despite being demonstrably worse than a school that has lost to both Wofford and Georgia Southern, Michigan is gifted with a place in the top 25, along with a Southern Cal team that is undiciplined to the point of failing to get past Stanford’s third string QB, played like shit against Washington and just got depantsed by Dennis Erickson. That’s the real crime; nevermind tOSU’s chowing down on cupcakes on the way to #1.

I R A Darth Aggie says:
A&M has three bye weeks (at OU, MU, and Bye) before the tsips come to town. Out of the bye weeks, I expect that the only success will be a 0-0 tie against Bye, the other two will be similar to 77-0 shellings. And no, I don’t expect them to go our way.
I’ll probably need to borrow your Florida rant. I’ll just have to substitute “A&M” and “Aggies” for “Florida” and “Gators”, then sub in “Oklahoma” or “Missouri” and “Sooners” or “Tigers” for “Georgia” and “Dawgs”.
Excelsior!

eric y says excelsior be damned and stop talking about the sec because whtilow says that south eastern colorado is really not having such a bad year and if kansas were to get involved like they hope to next year in the sec thing then indeed whitlow will have made his point and tell sammie that jay whitlow is always right and that goes for your take on the sec thing as well and what else can i do because if i don’t i don’t know what will happen to the sec and jay whitlow is a huge fan of sout east colorado and also of south west kansas

Im an ASU student and we are already a bunch of JuCo thugs. On the bye week about a block from the stadium I saw Justin Tryon get out of his car(with a bunch of other players in the bed of his truck) and walk into the middle of the intersection and yell things. Its made my proud and scared to be a sundevil. Man that guy has a alot of tattoos.

Oh, please. We know every other thread turns into SEC vs. Big Ten.
Auburn! Alabama! One or both suck!
There, that should return us to normalcy.

I heard two guys on a local talk radio show in the south talking about how impressive it was that 10-11 SEC teams are going to be bowl eligable…”see that just shows you how tough this conference is and how deep it is, you have to come to play every week because every week you are facing a bowl team.”
Did these clowns not get the new 12 game schedule memo? Guys, you only need 6 wins out of 12 to be eligable. So for teams like Arkansas who are 5-3 with wins over 1-7 North Texas, 0-8 FIU, 2-6 UTC, 1-7 Ole Miss, and 6-2 Troy, they are 1 win away from getting to a bowl game. That is a combined record of 10-30.
It’s not rocket science. You win 4 OOC games against teams 9-23, beat the worst team in your conference and then all you have to do is win one more game and you are in.
Impressive, truly impressive. That definitely proves how tough this conference is, why it is so dominate, and how you have to come every week with your A game…because you face a bowl team every week.

#60 – I like the way you think. I’ll contact Mal and see if we can get that done. That should give us about 10 NC’s.
On paper, we lose to LSU 10 out of 10 times. However, paper be damned! They come to T-town where that crazy bastard with the tats and kilt will be lurking in the bushes where he will remove Miles’ hat and reveal…..nuthin.
I don’t think anyone can predict what will happen in this game since there has been no game to go as expected. Maybe our entire student section can run out on the field and celebrate a 1st quarted TD by Terry Grant. I’m afraid Richt has started an annoying trend.

Scary thought…Croom could go 8-4. Bammer & The Orgeron at home & on the road at UPig.
Frankly, I don’t think we’re quite that good. Yes, we outplayed UK decisively, but they were pretty beat up mentally & physically after LSD & the Gayters. 6 TOs & two 4th down stops inside our 10 in the second half tell that story.
The simple fact is that top to bottom, the SEC is a tougher, more physical league week in and out than any other conference. Even The Orgeron played Aubarn, Florida & Bammer tough.

When is everyone going to wake up to the fact that all the clamoring from the coaches about how tough the SEC is and how deep it is, blah, blah, blah, is just a tool they use to help minimize the devastating impact of a loss. They have brain-washed the entire fan base into believing that conference losses are okay, and really just a part of life in the SEC.

Look, i don’t know about depth or what not….I do know this: The southern united states has better athletes(especially football wise) than the rest of the country, so it only stands to reason that a perceived great team could lose to a perceived bad team that has good talent and happens to put it together for one game. Does that make me feel better when we struggle against Ole Miss, lose to MSU, etc? No. It feels like shit…probably the same as it feels for USC to lose to Stanford(even though the talent isn’t comparable). The only way to settle this is to have a true “SEC vs Pac 10″ or “Big 10 vs ACC” face off thing like they do in some basketball situations. Make the first four weeks OOC games with match ups like that and the rest of the weeks can be conference games. It would be interesting, that’s for sure.

SpookyJuice says:
My ’southern united states has better athletes, especially football wise’ argument is based on recruitment, NFL numbers, etc…and the fact that football is king in the south where as basketball is at least a rival up north, added to the fact that poverty rates in the south as compared to the north make kids want to play football instead of video games(plus weather, etc)

Point blank…our thug brothas down south are better ballers than the educated brothas up north. Faster, harder hitting, ruthless, nasty on and off the field, thus more arrest. You guys raise show horses and we raise bucking bronco’s that have to be corralled,even tasered, every now and again….Nuff Said

Enjoy poodles. Thank god Gator Nation only has to stomach this once every 10 years.Knew sooner or later we would be on the short end of the stick on injuries to starters.Whats up with the OSU fans on this blog? They should run at first sight from anything that says Gators on it. Guess they couldn’t do shit on the field so they wanna talk on the internet.
