Gameday will be in Atlanta. Intro massive EDSBS sign. Now accepting bids on how to get massive, creative EDSBS sign into the background of Gameday's broadcast from Atlanta. Neon? Balloons? Projecting the logo onto the nearest wall? Ricky Jean-Francois saw you do that. This list from Fanhouse--now suspiciously jiggle-free in content after a minor fracas over the Fantasy Sports Girls--includes Jasper Brinkley, who may be more important to one team's chances in the SEC than any other. At least Florida, if we drop Tebow due to injury, can just run the zone read and Cam Newton Smash, which would at least keep us in the respectable zone, win-wise. (Disappointing, yes; respectable, yes.) Absent from the list is RJF, a.k.a. the Haitian Sensation, a.k.a. Ricky Jean-Francois, who will be the bell cow of a fine herd of defensive linemen at LSU. You may remember RJF, last seen detonating the middle of the Buckeye offensive line in the BCS Championship Game. He requests that if you have the first pick in the NFL draft, you should perhaps get in touch with his representatives. The most jaw-dropping part of the video isn't the strength work, but the agility work. Being that big--6'3", 281--and simultaneously that nimble is a crime against common sense. Oh, and he drives a nice car OMG CALL THE NCAA!!! Before you do, please remember that loans based on anticipated NFL income are perfectly above board and legal for the moment, and that RJF is allegedly related to Kimbo Slice. Unless your ground skills are tight, having an angry Kimbo at your door won't work out very well for you. Florida TE Cornelius Ingram did something to his knee in practice yesterday. The possibilities range from "tweaked," which has a playful, schoolboy charm to it, like someone just took his knee, placed a "kick me" sign on it, all the way to "tore," which has dire, pants-crapping intensity to it. MRI getting looked at today by the uproariously named team doctor for Florida, Pete Indelicato. Fortunately, Florida has seventeen wide receivers on the roster to fill in until he heals. The odd epic of Ronnie Wilson's long path to reinstatement was a bit dodgier than one might even expect, per the Miami Herald. Wilson's community service may have been forged, Florida looks skeevy in the process, and...the writer thinks it will all be totally worth it if Wilson graduates? We bout this U. Just keep saying that in the mirror. We bout this U. Want a tight end who can properly estimate your quarterlies? Richie Brockel of Boise State would be that guy. He's doubly intimidating to us since we're convinced that all accountants keep heads in their refrigerators and plot to kill their neighbors at night for maintaining slovenly flowerbeds. |

Looks like UGA and Evil Richt have spwaned some Celebration copycats:

At about the 2:03 mark you can all behold LSU Strength Coach Tommy Moffett’s patented Atlas Workout. Push the Earth in 2 sets of 5 rotations. Look at what it did for Glenn Dorsey.

I would definitely NOT want to play keep-away with RJF – any toy/food/girl that man wants, he gets

If you plan projecting the EDSBS logo onto a building, you might as well borrow Les Miles’ hat. Of course, there are the logistics of acutally transporting the hat to the Georgia Dome..I would suggest a flatbed truck.

I like the “Meyer doesn’t care if he plays a down” bit. Did the reporter have an ironic grin on his face as he typed that or is he just that…I hesitate to say dumb, so let’s go with naive.

When I was completing 100hrs of Community Service I met a guy that was getting 2hrs of Service signed off on for every 1hr he shoveled elephant shit at the zoo. I stuck to shelving books at the public library.

Urban Meyer doesn’t know what you were insinuating with that comment, Biggus @ #7, but he didn’t like it. That was a bad deal. And that comment is going to forever remain on the minds of Urban Meyer and this football team.

The offensive line coach for the Jets, the man in now in charge of protecting Brett Favre, is Bill Callahan.

@Allahver – I got 25 hrs one summer.
Got assigned to the local YMCA. I thought that would be cool, but instead of playing basketball or hanging around the pool, the ‘manager’ had me pulling weeds in 100 degree NC heat.
Naturally, I complained and got reassigned to the local VFW.
Where a Vietnam vet had me dig a foot deep, 25 foot long ditch for no apparent reason.
The lesson? Don’t complain about community service.

I would think that UF fans would love to switch Moreno for Harvin?

Interesting, I wonder who would do better on Brett Favre’s line: John Madden? Or Callahan’s Nebraska playbook…

What about getting the Sporting News to buy a commercial spot for you during the broadcast.
The entire commercial could be a 30 second recounting of the Golden Unicycle Diaries, then show the website with a burning couch, and its over.
Your server would certainly crash.
Then again, you could just bring a cooler full of beer, and hand them out as you stretch a huge banner out to a bunch of people in the middle of the crowd and get them to hold the banner up (idea #2 is probably a lot cheaper).

If you want attention for your EDSBS sign, get Blondie from the Clermont to hold it up. Bonus points for Bama body paint.

dammit, accountant does not equal taxes people. There are other kinds of accountants that don’t do taxes.

oh and that Ronnie Wilson thing is shaping up to become embarrassing. Someone needs to make sure he keeps out of trouble for the rest of the year.

Helium blimp, that way you can easily move it up or down until it fits in the camera the way you would like.
And if you dont care for Alabama or Clemson fans, you could always use hydrogen instead, which could make for a memorable CollegeGameDay experience…

@11 – I got 40 hours one summer when my legion baseball coach was the sheriff. He made me rake the field two or three times and signed off on the whole 40. Since I sure wasn’t a 5 star recruit, it was the one time my athletic “status” was actually a benefit in a slimy way. I was so proud…….

I paid my community service hours with straight cash. I didn’t have time for that shit.

Dude I must protest your slander of accoutants. We keep the heads in the freezer. It’s simply not cost effective on a kwh basis to use the frig for that sort of thing. I shall be watching for a correction…and some mowing, edging and weeding wouldn’t hurt either!

@12
Every UGA hope, prayer, wish, dream and fantasy of a MNC rests on Moreno. A simple pulled hamstring would crush their season. The UF Offense will still continue to roll without Percy for a game or two. Now, the UF Defense….

Accountants would never kill somebody over a slovenly flower garden. They would simply show up at 4 in the morning and reorganize it by height and color (Roy G. Biv, people).
Brockel is just more proof that outside of Matt Spaeth, tight ends are the smartest football players on the field.
by WhiteSpeedReceiver on Aug 7, 2008 10:54 AM EDT reply actions
It is now “Ron” Wilson, thank you, and it was excellent timing on his part to pull himself together in time for the season.
And I would not trade Harvin for Moreno…’cause I can actually spell “Percy”.

I’m really hoping to see a sign that incorporates the words “fuck” and “lion” in some fashion, i.e. “Corso has a fuck lion.”

Ronnie loves guns. Ron hates guns. That’s the difference, people.
Oh, and the Gators now have a slogan for the season.

How about something like this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kameraflage ) to get the edsbs sign into the background.

The other advantage of using a dedicated freezer for severed heads is that it’s easier to amortize the purchase and operating costs, as well as manage your income tax deductions.
I’m not an accountant, but I was raised by one. Which is why I don’t look at failure to garden as a reason for the chop – but if that old bat next door doesn’t get the collapsed section of fence fixed, she’s going to be soylent green and a hood ornament in witing.

Use a giant, 3 person puppets the use in parades where one person has the torso/head and the others have hands connected with cloth for arms. You can do all sorts of funny poses and really get their attention.

I suggest we brand EDSBS on the side of a Fuck Lion and place the Home Depot hat on that sucker and parade it down to see if Corso’s head will fit in it’s mouth.
by NewAZTiger on Aug 7, 2008 1:21 PM EDT reply actions
Judging by the number of Fuck Lion Posts made (I posted mine before reading the thread), I’m thinking an EDSBS lion has got to happen.

I have to be honest, I was very happy for RJF when he managed to become eligible for the MNC. It was good to see that a student athlete can apply himself and raise those grades to point where he is allowed to play. As a Buckeye fan and a college football fan, it’s nice to see such hard work and stick-to-itivness pay off…………………could someone please ask him if we can have our Right Guard and Center’s heads back, we kinda need them for this season, TIA.

I work in a building that borders Centennial Park in downtown Atlanta. Do you guys recognize that on Aug 30 the hotels will be full of both ’bama and Clemson fans as well as DragonCon types??
And EDSBS trying to punk Gameday??? I would not miss that for the world. send me an email, I’ll do what I can.

I’ll pay $50 for anyone who can get a sign on television that says:

Work at prominent steakhouse next to park and can’t wait for Bama fan to arrive (haven’t seen you lately first weekend in December) to see if there is truth behind the legend. However if the staff had it’s druthers, we’d have the very generous tipping, cabernet, and Crown drinking fans of LSU make Atlanta “Baton Rouge East”!! Razorback and Vol fans can stay home and watch Brent and Kirk!

I have plans to be in Atlanta on the 30th and would love to help with the infiltration or walking up with a sign or whatever you have to do to get by Gameday security. I ask only this: whatever I do to help cannot prevent me from a) finding a T.V. by kickoff, b) getting intoxicated to the point that I can quote/remember/believably make up reasons why Saban/Alabama makes Neil Armstrong look like the underacheiving pussy that he is without having to say “But if you think about it…” first, and c) finding at least a few hour to spend at DragonCon because I had no idea that all this goodness would be going on under one roof on the same weekend. Seriously, e-mail me if you need a hand.
