EDSBS LIVE! GOLDEN TICKET EDITION
Tressel:cut, ready. Courtesy of the late, great Tressel’s World.Jim’s been pumping iron. Doing hang cleans. Working the rings. Getting deep into some CrossFit shit. Jim’s been getting Ripped Fuel and whey protein shakes. Taking Sport Beans during his six mile runs. Jim’s got those sex muscle dents from all the tough love he’s been giving himself in the weight room and on the stairs lately.
JT’s gonna be ready, just like we’re ready for EDSBS Live, where we ask you if you’ve been getting cut and ripped like old acid-washed jeans for the next season, and what the four Golden Ticket games you’re looking forward to–that is, the games you want instant tickets to in order to maximize your college football pleasure in 2008
In case you can’t tell, JT’s looking toward the horizon with those bedroom eyes and seeing one thing: USC, brah. If Pete Carroll’s like a beautiful woman, he’s gonna make him him some Tresselation. One thing he’s not: safe, no matter how many Trojans you throw at him. The eyes alone tell you that.
Listen here and join the festivities at 9 EDT.

I have a feeling that many of these lists are going to look similar…
#1) tOSU @ USC. My two alma-matters playing each other, I’ll be there and I plan on going back to Columbus next year for the return game.
#2) UF/UGA I need to go to the wloco sometime in my life and this looks like a good year
#3) UGA@ASU An interesting SEC-Pac 10 matchup, sort of the reverse of USC-Arkansas. It says a hell of a lot if there is an upset, not so much if it stays true to form
#4) Alabma @ LSU. The return of Saban storyline is just too awesome to miss, and Death Valley is another one of those stadiums I need to see with my own eyes sometime.

Crabapple Buck says:
Tress sure looks fit. He could give Rick Neuheisel a run for most beautiful coach.
My picks
1. tOSU – USC
2. WLOCP
3. Red River Shootout
4. tOSU – Michigan I’ll be there for this one and expect a Buckeye blowout that only by the grace of God and JT can the spread be under 50.

I was trying to be objective, and I do think that tOSU vs USC has more national appeal and title implications.

Harris says:
1) Michigan at Notre Dame. Two teams that hate each other and the Irish could win this time.
2) Cocktail party. Drunken Southern sorority girls are the best kind of drunken sorority girls and the game should be good too.
3) The 73rd Annual Tuskegee-Morehouse Football Classic. Pitting last year’s #1 and #5 black college programs against each other in Columbus, Ga. Incredible football, incredible bands and incredible asses. Fuck and yes.
4) Georgia @ LSU. Matter meets anti-matter. And a crazy-ass coach with a big ass head.

Pants McPants says:
Evidently, recruiting burns fat, since we’ve got 23 recruits already and the HS season isn’t even close yet. We’ve even out-Texased Texas.
1) OSU @ USC
2) UF @ UGa
3) UM @ OSU
4tie) OU vs TX
USF @ West Va
The very possible OU vs Mizzou B12 champ game has some serious appeal to me also…as does UF-LSU and the SEC champ game.

T-Bird says:
I’m not going to rehash everyone else’s picks
1. UGA @ Auburn
2. WVU @ Colorado (mounties first test)
3. Tenn @ UGA
4. Coop vs. the reality of another 6-6 season

T-Bird says:
And why on earth would you want to watch USC v Ohio State? You think the buckeyes can’t handle SEC speed, what do you think they will do with USC speed? Carroll has that game set up for him beautifully with an extra week to prepare.
Go back and see what Carroll does to really GOOD teams with a week to prepare, he has lost once (to Texas) and has dominated every other game. Write it down, USC wins BIG.

Pants McPants says:
T-Bird, your post doesn’t even make sense…who is the last REALLY good team USC faced? Oregon last year? They lost. Texas in 2005? They lost, and OSU played Texas that year just as tough…unless you count UM in 2006 (OSU beat them too), or Notre Dame 2005 (OSU beat them too)…

Coop says:
When is the last time Clemson finished 6-6?
Have you mistaken me for a South Carolina fan, regarding last season or worse in the past, or a Tech fan with the perennial mediocre Chan Gailey at the helm?

Dumpster Baby says:
Wow, i drank some stupid this morning, I confused coop with a Bama fan. My greatest apology would not be enough to make up for that egregious error.
McPants I am talking about non-conference opponents.
2002 with a week off before
Beat Auburn by 24-17
Beat Iowa 38-17
2003 with a week off before
Beat Auburn 23-0
Beat Michigan 28-14
2004 with a week off before
beat VT 24-13
beat ND 41-10
beat Oklahoma 55-19
2005 with a week off before
beat Arkansas 70-17
beat UCLA 66-19
lost to Texas 41-38
2006 with a week off before
beat Arkansas 50-14
beat Nebraska 28-10
beat Michigan 32-18
2007 with a week off before
beat Nebraska 49-31
beat Az State 44-24
beat Illinois 49-17
USC has not played a legit non-conference opponent without the week off since Carroll has been there and it has worked for well for them. Get over the fact that you buckeyes are going to get smoked, it is a foregone conclusion.

JoseOle says:
Anyone who says that the Buckeyes have no chance in that game did not watch Vince Young kill USC. Terrell Pryor will run for 100+ yards in that game and the Bucks will stack the line b/c average USC WR’s can be covered man to man. Oh if only Carroll were actually a beautiful woman USC would feel better about their National Chamionship hopes getting fucked in the ass OZ style.
June 25th, 2008 at 1:12 pm

Coop says:
20 – Yeah, because Vince Young was PHENOMENAL as a true freshman, and that is when he faced USC in the Rose Bowl.
Good luck with all that.

French says:
Big ups to USC for beating Michigan. It ain’t that hard. And congrats on them dominating the SEC by beating Auburn (barely) and Arkansas. Wisconsin has been there, done that against the hogs.
TP will not play in the USC game. Beokman will, and he will probably cost the Bucks the game.

French says:
Hey Coop, VY was a junior when he faced USC in the Rose. I’m not sure what kind of playing time he got as a freshman. He did improve his game throughout 2004, beating Michigan by 1pt. in the ‘04 Rose. A junior in 2005 Young was in his prime and was the best QB in the country that year. Texas beat Ohio State by 3pts in ‘05. Too bad he left after that season, would have made the Ohio State-Texas matchup the following year even better.

Pants McPants says:
Good post French, unfortunately, I think that’s actually quite possible.
USC loses to teams like Stanford and UCLA 2006 and they’re awesome…OSU has lost five freaking games in the last 3 seasons, to #1 Texas, #3 PSU, #1 Florida, #1 LSU, and their one horrible loss, to BCS team Illinois….
You people touting the USC horn has no basis whatsoever for your reasoning.
