THE INDEPENDENCE BOWL DRINKING GAME
We’re out of time for the other two bowl previews, but we do have an exciting offer: Peter Bean will join us at 7:50 p.m. on Sunday on a very special edition of EDSBS Live: The Independence Bowl Drinking Game.
It’ll be just like that.
We will have the show for the first half only to preserve our livers and the shreds of dignity we have left. Drinks will be taken for the following, but are not limited to:
–Bob Davie uses of the word “footBAW”
–Bob Davie uses the word “YOUUUUGE”
–A shot each time the Hawkins “DIVISION ONE FOOTBALLL” rant is mentioned.
–A sip each time the corporate sponsor is used.
–Sip for scenic shots of Shreveport. Double if a casino is shown, or if the shot is not actually scenic at all.
–A shot if John Parker Wilson throws a pick six. We know that by this rule, we’re drinking at least one shot.
–Sip for any mention of Bama’s repeat visit to Shreveport
–Sip for three and outs. We’re gonna be HAMMERED on this one.
Leave any other suggestions below. Enjoy the weekend, which is loaded with football. Pun possibly intended.
See you Sunday night.

Jesus, Spencer…
Could you have left alone Shreveport just a bit? In a state still recovering from Katrina (yeah, it’s still too soon for Katrina jokes…even for you), where the bowl is trying to stay afloat, people are trying to have fun when times are still tough.
I hope you’ve jacked off enough with “Hot Babe” pics and that you’re through bashing, because this piece of shit you wrote just proves the failings of a journalist. Not apologizing for it makes you even more pathetic.
Must have been a tough Holiday season, huh?

So, I pull in from a cold and windy day on the slopes to have a bite of leftover pizza and a few beers and catch some more worthless bowl games. UConn/Wake, well this will do. Skinnyphat man wonders what bowl game is this? Looks cold must be in Charlotte or someplace further north. Lets hit the old info button on my DirecTV remote to make sure. Yeah, it’s the Meineke Car Care Bowl, in Charlotte… Wait a minute… in the info screen after the teams, DirecTV says this is a “Playoff” game.
Playoffs!?!?!? you’re talking about Playoffs!!!?!?
DirecTV, why oh why must you taunt me so?

Kate says:
Let’s see Neuhesiel go to inner city LA and try to get SoCal recruits to warm up to baby blue and gold football after ucla snubbed DeWayne Walker. Too bad there’s a guy at the university down the street who apparently goes to the inner city, at night, all the time to chat up the locals about Trojan football. Guess who’ll win (again).
And those comments on Orson’s Sporting Blog post about Shreveport went from highly amusing to please-stop-i-know-you’re-proud-of-your-city-but-no-need-for-six-fervid-block-paragraphs-saying-so.

StageCoach says:
@ 61 Skip
Flashy, they got….and I can understand your thinking. I guess I am just not sold on Slick Rick’s ability to play by the rules.
Having made a flashy hire is only worth so much if your program is put on probation and scholarships are cut…all because of a coach who got out of town JUST ahead of said transgressions.
Methinks Bruin Nation has about a 2-3 year window to enjoy. About the time he has his own team assembled, it could get really dicey. If RN has learned his lessons, and how to be an honest guy, the hire could be great.

Signal to Noise says:
I’m all for Neuheisel being UCLA’s coach. It means USC beats the Bruins silly for the next four years. He does well with the players he’s given and then coasts on his own recruiting talent, despite his tendency to get in trouble for recruiting.
If the word “sheisty” ever makes a dictionary, Slick Rick’s picture should be right next to it.
That said, you have Neuheisel joining the mouth-fest that already goes on with a conference that has Carroll, Erickson, and Harbaugh in it. Pac-10 Media Day will never equal SEC Media Day for good talking head, but adding Neuheisel ensures at least some more “fucking nuts” in this conference.
December 29th, 2007 at 5:04 pm

jake steely says:
I think UCLA is gonna put aside all the transgressions that are Nueheisal because hes won, and at some decent football schools. And UCLA for some reason thinks they are in the upper echelon of football schools.

Jeff from LA says:
I, for one, am excited about Slick Rick’s hiring at UCLA. Slick Rick is Dennis Erickson lite and USC has yet to see any reason to fear Erickson.

Chalk me up as another USC fan happy that UCLA hired slick rick.
Let’s see a chaotic coaching search that settles on a former quarterback from the program’s better days. Hey Alabama, how’d that Shula thing work out?

you can’t tell me that USC wouldnt have rather had DeWayne “goood times” Walker as the coach. Which as it comes to mind, is probably why UCLA hired RN.

oc phil says:
#75 Jake: USC fans are not going to fear any coach at UCLA. And Pete Carroll’s attitude will be that he will welcome the strongest competition since that is how one gets better.
But overall I think Walker would have helped the UCLA program more than slick rick will. It was Walker’s excellent defensive game plan that held USC to 9 points in 2006. He had a very positive impact on UCLA’s recruiting and losing that (if they do lose him) will hurt the program as well.
No school other than UCLA would have given slick rick another chance. All the others were right.
I’m not sure what you are getting at with the “good times” reference, unless it is the sort of racial attitude that fits in over at Bruins Nation.

I just went over the the SN to see what the big fuss is about.
You know, I do like living in Shreveport, but I guess I’ve not been here long enough to be affected by whatever the hell’s in the water that makes people rabid morons. It’s not a “destination city” by any stretch, and that’s about the only point Orson made on it. Geezum crow.
I will say this about the city though: you can go from mansion to slum in less than two blocks. It’s like the blocks alternate above/below the poverty level.

OCPhil- Easy Tiger, Im a USC fan, The point I was getting at is UCLA wants to win and Nueheisal is a proven winner, NO matter what the cost. Well lets ask my half white half asian kid just how racist I am. The reference was in fact to the 70’s tv show “Good Times”, where there was a character named Dewayne, and a character with the real last name Walker. But guess out there in elitist “OC” Orange county or wherever you happened to grow up that wasn’t popular viewing material.

Raider Red says:
At least UCF didn’t do the following:
a) call for the other team’s coach to be put in a casket
b) have a member of their kiddie korps bring her girlfriend to the game
c) have one of their fans pick and eat a booger on national television
d) have one of their players cry on national television
e) have their disgraced ex-coach secretly calling plays from his home via telephone. (Option pitch on 4th and 1? Seriously?)
Stay classy, Aggy.

Drink every time one of the commentators mentions “the process.”
For example, after a turnover the camera focuses on all five-foot-three of Saban looking all frustrated.
“Well, Nick Saban said when he arrived in Tuscaloosa that it was going to be a process…..”

If Oscar, Orson, or Orca whatever the call him at the SN goes to Shreveport, once they find out who he is, it will be a scene from Frankenstein where all the villagers are carrying torches headin toward the press box if he is ever there to cover any game..I have never seen so many crybabies in all my life…..I bet the median age that reads the Sporting News is like 50 or older, none of them sons-a-bitches have a sense of humor….Who knew that Shreveport was the lost city of Atlantis or something according to those 5 star posters…..

More suggestions for scoring:
–Sip every time JPW tosses his hair back like he is an a Breck commercial
–Shot every time Joe Kines’ Inside Trout is shown
–Sip with every mention of Belichik-Saban-Beelzebub linkages
–Sip every time Javier Arenas – Gilbert Arenas being cousins is mentioned
–Sip any time “the process” is mentioned
Also, could anyone please re-post the pic of the Colorado chick giving the middle finger while her limpwristed boyfriend looks oblivious to the football game going on

I’m a fan of Shreveport – as a destination. As a former resident – ‘83-’86, and my brother’s so proud to call it his birthplace (well, Bossier City really) – I’m so glad this underrated metropolis’s bowl has been selected for the distinction of a live blog from a nationally read blog (!!!) and also that Saban will be gracing the city with his presence. Northwest Louisiana beats the bayou in many different categories – none that I can think of right now.
I’m sure everyone involved is beyond honored to host ‘Bama again! Their fans are superb to all others in comparisons of intelligence, loyalty and buying useless UA shit.
It’s a lovely place, steeped in charm and the casino’s may be garish but at least you’re not in Biloxi!
