EDSBSGPS: WHERE WE AT, 8/28/08
by Holly Anderson on Aug 28, 2008 5:35 PM EDT

PrintThe evening's agenda:
SWINDLE: Atlanta, watching Jacksonville State @ Georgia Tech live and NC State @ South Carolina via ESPN360.
HOLLY: Los Angeles, watching Troy @ Middle Tennessee State via GamePlan and NC State @ South Carolina on ESPN.*
Neither, regrettably, will be in Denver wooing Ana Marie Cox...although I'm closer, Swindle. Just saying.
Were we That Sort Of Blog, this is the point at which we'd call you some sort of collective brotherhoodish nickname ("Rampant and Unapologetic SEC Bias Nation, PUTCHA HANDS IN THE AAAYYYYR!!!1!!") and offer to race you to the comments for the commencement of geographic roll-call, drink choices du soir, and unseemly insinuations about your relationships with your mothers. We remain, however, cool and aloof as jungle cats (and just as shiny), and will merely inform you, as any well-bred hostess would, that the open thread below is available for any and all of the above needs. Go on, now.
*Also on the agenda: Frequent and vehement cursing of Time Warner SoCal for appalling nonexistence of ESPN360 availability in LA, denying me the Return of El Perrilloux. Get bent, sirs.

Is nobody even gonna cruise by the Baylor/Wake Forest game? Seriously guys, the “Death Machine” only gets on national TV like once every 5 years, it is kind of a big deal. Plus, I bet Art Briles will line up in at least 2 formations that will blow your mind out of your ass.

FSN is still working its way into game shape. On a Baylor punt, they just had the first down line start at one yard line on the visitor sideline and end at a different one on the home sideline.

Watching NCState/SC in between plays here at Bobby Dodd. The ESPN360 keeps freezing up on particularly poignant stills of Spurrier holding his head and kneeling, or of a DB leaping to pick off Beecher, or of a referree’s face frozen on the screen with a huge yellow “FLAG” on the scorebar at the bottom of the screen.
Ryan Perrilloux’s line at the half: 12/20, 2 picks, 79 yards.

Regarding the “SEC chant” by #102, et al…
South Carolina has a long history with the ACC that reads like a soap opera. There’s an old grudge between South Carolina and the North Carolina ACC schools, particularly regarding USC’s 1971 withdrawal from the ACC, and repeated failed discussions about readmission. NC newspapers have had a few editorials this week that revisited the saga.
Furthermore, our biggest in-state rival is in the ACC, and we recruit heavily in “ACC territory”.
Suffice to say that Ohio State chanting “Big Ten” would not be a valid comparison. Besides, that’s not much to brag about these days anyway.
by woooohooooo on Aug 29, 2008 9:30 AM EDT reply actions
Why is Spurrier unable to recruit a decent quarterback? You’d think great prospects would be lining up to learn the secrets of the Visor. That QB last night was Rex Grossman-awful. No arm strenght, just lobbing it up to the tune of 4 (four) picks.
by Joel on Aug 29, 2008 9:32 AM EDT reply actions
#131,
Mitchell was a Holtz recruit. Beecher was recruited immediately after Spurrier was hired, which was the best he could find on short notice. Besides the current redshirts, Smelley and Garcia are the only two highly-recruited QB’s on the roster, and Smelley played pretty well.
Beecher is a really tough QB, and I personally think Spurrier wanted to give him a fair shot, especially since he’s a year older than Smelley and had been considering a transfer. Maybe he’ll get another chance, but he probably blew it Thursday night IMO.
