Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

CURIOUS INDEX, 7/18/08

Jethro! What a brother know! The excitement is getting unbearable around here. Bring the noise.

Recap the offseason before you forget it and claim you were right all along, which of course you were, you smart thing, you. Barwis as Yoda may be a bit much, but it beats the other comparison we wanted to make by miles: Mike Barwis as...the cockpuncher.

LSU boots o-lineman Jarvis Jones off the team for one reason or another. Requires further digging, as bayou drama of even the smallest magnitude tends to be on the spicy side.

Victoria's Secret completes its long tumble into the dirty, flabby midsection of American demography with its announcement of college football-themed wear, most of which very conservative. (Tell your father to calm down.) The most risque thing they have for Florida is the "undie," though Florida State does get to feature their trademark "pre-soiled thong." Victoria's Secret: providing your 11 year old with adult underwear since 1986!

The thunder, son. The thunder. ESPN's College Football Live returns on Monday. Feel the thunder of Rece Davis talking about a sport he radiates glee for over the next five months. The world wins when things like this happen.

re: Victoria’s Secret

That is just…awful. They used pink on UT’s stuff. Pink? How insulting. I love pink as much as the next female but I do not want it associated with my alma mater.

CFL!! Nothing like 5 weeks of hearing Lou Holthhsss talk about how improved Notre Dame will be because their schedule is easier.

Umm…..‘11 year old with adult underwear’…….Wait! What?!?! No, Orson, NO!

Rece Davis is outstanding. Other than Mike Terrico with Golf – I don’t think there is an ESPN talking head that is more passionate about the sport that he covers.

@Blon,

I really didn’t notice the color schemes. I’m like that, though.

“Brent Musburger will host the first two shows live from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn.”

“Analysts tackle viewer generated e-mails and questions at the end of each show.”

As the season draws closer, you know what this means! More Giant Trev Albert reports. Atlanta, you are WARNED!

“Once again, back is the incredible …
The rhyme animal
The incredible D. Public Enemy number one
Five-O said “Freeze!” and I got numb
Can’t I tell ‘em that I really never had a gun?
But it’s the wax that the Terminator X spun…"

Thanks, Orson, a little PE is a great way to start a Friday morning…

Consider this, Victoria Secret is based in Columbus Ohio, yet does not have the licensing for The Ohio State University. I thought Les Wexner had donated more than his fair share to my alma mater. Apparently I thought wrong.

So get up, get, get get down
911’s no joke in T-Town
Get up, get, get, get down
Late 911 wears the Cup crown

RE: Wexner

I think that has something to do with THIS:

“According to the Dispatch, Wexner’s role as head of Limited Brands coupled with his spot on the OSU Board of Trustees has made striking a deal for some Buckeye booty britches a bit of a chore considering OSU is a state university, leading to potential conflict of interest issues.”

Can’t find (didn’t look for) the Dispatch article

Re #10: OSU probably figures they can make more money off a deal with Lane Bryant.

Very nice.

BTW, how does Minnesota get on this list? Do people even in Minnesota wear clothing associated with the UM? I would think that ISU would be a better draw than Minny?

Conference breakdown:
SEC 9
Pac 6
ACC 6
Big XII 5
Big X 5

and if this isn’t a harbinger of things to come, I don’t know what is….

Big East 0

wow.

I wonder if they made their decisions based on athletic department marketing revenue per school. The schools with the highest marketing dollars were “lucky” enough to get VS sweat pants, tees, etc.

“Primary host Davis will take over July 23 and analysts Palmer, Blackledge, Mark May, Desmond Howard, Andre Ware, Bob Griese, Trevor Mattich, Rod Gilmore and many more will join Davis to give their expert opinions throughout the year.”

No Sweet Lou?

According to the Press Release, the show will be aired year-round.

No doubt they are taking a cue from EDSBS. Would expect a Steele sighting during the slower periods, another cue from EDSBS.

To be serious for 2 secs, Rece and a few others are one of a million other reasons why college football RULZ tv – no other analysts so obviously are pumped for and are intrigued by the sport they’re covering.

Kickoff is nigh, Bubba.
