EDSBSGPS: WHERE WE AT, 8/28/08
The 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.

I’m inexplicably down on Wake this year and wasn’t even going to flip over during commercials, until Matt Hinton pointed out to me just now that it’s like a Baptist-on-Baptist fight. So I may have to tune in.

Yup, and the liberal Baptists (all three of ‘em) will be cheerin’ for Wake.

TIYCS, checking in from Samford’s (no, not Stanford) inaugural SoCon game. Welcome to D1, baybee! (See, this is the great thing about going to law school here…I can get drunk, watch a football game live and NOT CARE who wins).
And as an aside, just who, exactly, gets ESPN360? Paducah, KY? Fredricksburg, MD? Mars? Certainly not anyone in a city that matters…

Holly – Last year I called twice to order it and it still didn’t work the first week. I think it’s so people call back and pay the extra $20 after the season starts.
I’ll called *four* times this year trying to get them to turn the channels on, but they still aren’t.
August 28th, 2008 at 7:12 pm

WarCardinals says:
So is it just a Time Warner thing? I’m thinking about buying it tonight to watch the Auburn game tomorrow, but would rather not have to pay the extra $20 and miss the game I really want to see.

Year2-Dave says:
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.
Unless I missed a new diagonal line of scrimmage rule.

No 360 in the hotel (wifi too flaky), and only ESPN to watch.

This South Carolina/NC State game has been awful so far to watch. Turnovers, penalties, missed field goal, an unfortunate injury, no scoring. I suppose it can only get better from here.

Orson Swindle says:
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.

two observations
1. Tom O’Brien will make any game unwatchable;

No remarks from me about the game because I wasn’t able to watch, and I can’t in good conscience woof on a game I came to with 5:43 left.
However, Holly and Orson, I would like to point out that I was doing Ana Marie Cox’s tech support at National Geographic in the late 1990s, and she…she…she wouldn’t know me if I burst out of an Obama-shaped cake singing “Happy Days Are Here Again.”

Admit it, Orson, you are living in heaven tonight. The single wing is back in your hometown and the OBC is trying to impress voters with RUTS to cover up how shitty his OL really is.

August 28th, 2008 at 10:18 pm

The great thing about RUTS is that it works in low profile games, how many AP voters and coaches’ aides decided to watch Obama instead. They’ll just read the box score and think South Carolina dominated.

Gamecock fans chanting S-E-C, S-E-C at the end of the game…WTF?
For the life of me, I could never imagine beating USC in an OOC game and chanting Big-10, Big-10, Big-10…my brain doesn’t even work like that…Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn State are in the Big-10 and I absolutely hate those teams…why would I chant for them?
It is just so f’king retarded…it’s beyond retarded.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:40 pm

Because I know you are all just hanging around to see how my cable issues worked out–in the process of trying to make GamePlan, y’know, WORK, Time Warner shut off my cable. Entirely. And they can’t make it come on again.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
107
John says:
This is will be a huge win for Stanford. In some ways, it might be bigger than the win against USC because it could serve as a launching pad to a big year whereas the season was already lost in 2007 and they were just playing spoiler.
August 28th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
108
jamiedawg says:
Holly, I would be freaking out with no cable.–my sympathies–and would ya agree that Stanford’s coach ( Harbaugh) is kind of hot?

Ah Time Warner Cable… pushing the limits of suck since 1989.

Orson Swindle says:
Meg–guilty.
Also, anyone bragging about that particular 34-0 win is in error, much less doing so on behalf of an entire conference. We in the SEC apologize for the breach of etiquette, and promise to post an impressive and definitive win against UCLA on Monday.

O – if I knew you were gonna be at the GT game, I would’ve invited you to my tailgate for a few drinks – I started at 2:30 and I’m still drunk, so we had plenty to spare :-p

Does anyone else now have this empty feeling now that there won’t be any good games until Saturday? How will I beat this drug?

Roaminggator @ 104 – many of us are sick of it already. We’re loathsome enough en masse without the help, ESPN, thankyouverymuch.
Also, those of you familiar with the Ron Franklin oeuvre – what was up with him starting some thought about how Jim Harbaugh was talking about a Stanford player like he was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter and sort of tapering off in a Humbert Humbert mode? That freaked me out to no end.

If internet rumors can be believed, Arizona State’s new practice facility has apparently blown the fuck up. I suspect, if the rumors are true, the cause was either severe weather, a forbidden demonic summoning ritual, Erickson drunk or severe weather caused by Erickson’s drunken demonic summoning ritual.

Nice job, Vegas. The Dores clearly are the best team in the SEC.

*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.
I love AT&T Fast Access DSL.

Let me throw in one more hearty “FUCK!” for good measure.
Okay, now on with my Friday.

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.

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.

#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.
