EDSBSGPS: WHERE WE AT, WEEK 3
The weekend’s viewing agenda:
SWINDLE (Gainesville, for a wedding that mercifully falls on Florida’s bye week):
Kansas @ USF
Georgia @ South Carolina
“Whatever’s on ESPN at noon”, which means Cal @ Maryland, the poor bastard.
Ohio State @ USC
HOLLY (San Diego, freezing her ass off in the 50-degree “beach weather”):
Kansas @ USF
Navy @ Duke
Alabama-Birmingham @ Tennessee
Michigan @ Notre Dame
Georgia @ South Carolina
Ohio State @ USC
Wisconsin @ Fresno State
TERRY BOWDEN: Writing about football on the internet, making him precisely as employed as we are.
Consider this your open thread for tonight’s festivities. Swindle’s on radio silence for most of the weekend with abovementioned commitments, but we’ll have occasional commentary and live coverage of OSU-USC tomorrow. Y’all come back, now.

Holly, we all know Swindle can’t make it through the weekend without the Three Daves at 12:30 ET.

Woo some Alabama-Birmingham Love from Holly! Assuming I’m the only UAB fan who reads this I’m hoping UAB actually wins against Tennessee. It’s a long shot, but stranger things have happened. Oh and we all want some Dave Love.

I have no love for UAB this weekend. Sorry, brah. (govawls!!)

Biggus Rickus says:
The difference between you and Bowden being that you actually write about college football well. Also, I don’t think Terry has shown off his rack on the Internet to settle a bet, and if he has I don’t want the pictorial evidence.

John says:
I’m one of the 32% of Americans who will be getting Penn State/Syracuse on ABC. This means that Oregon/
Purdue will be on ESPN and the game I’m most interested in, Georgia Tech vs. Virginia Tech, will have to be followed via internet. Between those three and UGA/USC and ND/UM, one of the 3:30 games has to be interesting. Right?

Biggus Rickus says:
John,
I’m not sure the Battle of the Techs will be interesting, but it should be close. The same could be true of UGA-USCum. Really, the 3:30 games could be comedies of errors. Notre Dame-Michigan should be off the charts on the schadenfreude scale.

Holly, I’m gonna miss the Three Daves. Perhaps they can replace Thom Brennerman on Fox.
You & Honey Pie can root for your Vowels.

Holly says:
This is wildly off-topic, but since it’s the weekend and all, I’d like to share maybe the greatest spam comment we’ve ever gotten:
Dear Senior, Lou Holtz,
!!YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ME!!
I am a big admirer of you, your persona, demeanor, looks and style,
Can’t figure out why so many people dislike /ridicule you or are they simply just jealous because of your good fortune?
Would love to know if you could answer me. I will very happy if you did!!
Yours,
Luis D. Rey

Note to football fans: if USC blows out Ohio State, UConn/UVA is available on ESPNU. The battle for East Coast supremacy!!
So I’m like the only one not watching the USC game, eh?

ClydeB says:
Dear Dr. Lou,
Thank you for your advice on dealing with my neighbor. You were right, just because her husband died a few months ago of stomach cancer is no reason to show her any respect. She’s been living a lie all season long. She ain’t playing no Kansas State. So I put her in a headlock. That’ll teach her to not throw a flag.
/overwhelmed by so many ‘hate lou holtz’ memories

beckett929 says:
Good Lord… Michigan/Notre Dame… is it possible to have negative total yards combined in a game? I mean I know Miami/FSU tried a few years ago with just like 9 total first downs…
And I pity the poor fuckers forced to watch Syracuse/Penn State… you know, like the stadium crew, the officials, God…..

“For those about to rock…” change the channel, because we’re showing Kansas-USF.

Damnit I hate Spielman…. he’s like Pam Ward but lacking the hot, sexual tone…

If you are in San Diego and will be watching tOSU play some California directional school….
Try Moondoggies in Pacific Beach…unless the thought of being surrounded by Buckeyes repels you, in which case it would be a bad idea.
It’s the local Buckeye hang-out. Will be crowded and should get there early.

Hey SWINDLE, if you put on ESPN2 at noon, EST you can see the Rum Soaked Stash that saved the sunshine state from going 0′fer in last year’s in Bowl Season.

Harris, Duke has our old OC as their new head coach, whom I adore, and I want to see what he does with the place.

Crabapple Buck says:
I am golfing in the morning. Getting gas before all the stations run out on the way to the course. Before I get home I need to get some new nylon rope. The damn neighbor kids stole the old hemp rope I had laying around. I am watching every game carried until 8pm. Then I am watching the Buckeyes. After that I will decide how best to use the new rope. I may or may not be commenting on Monday.

Terry Tate, Office Linebacker says:
tOSU/USC has it’s own block on the ticker.
They have shown Beanie “Boobie Miles” Wells getting hurt and carried off the field about eleventy-million times.
Herbstreit actually turned on his alma matter on PTI.
I think they actually just broke into the Galveston Emergency Broadcast to inform everyone that Wells is now OUT for the game.
is anyone else as tired as I of hearing about THE COLLISION AT THE COLLISEUM???
I actually really hope it ends up with the Buckeyes winning with a late field goal, 3-0.

NewsDawg32 says:
They really should not try to talk to Magino as he walks off the field. I thought he was just about to stroke out. Or maybe he was looking at the sideline guy as nourishment to help him get to the locker room.

Mangino needs a jetpack transportation system like Baron Harkonnen had. He is beyond walking around.

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Has USF’s offense sparked to the point they’re all about to spontaneously combust on the field? Or did Mangino pour all the energy drinks for Kansas’ defense into a 5 gallon bucket and down it like a shot o’ tequila? WTF WTF WTF?!?!
September 12th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
26
ClwFlGator says:
Yeah, all of a sudden USF is looking lively.
September 12th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
27
A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Mangino needs to take out the entire O-Line and go in himself; I think he could do a better job of blocking ALL of USF’s D-Line.

Harris says:
Yeah, Holly, and I like lollipops, but I wouldn’t eat one off the floor of a public restroom.
Oh, Mrs. Selvie. Finger waves? Really? I guess it’s better than a multi-colored weave, but not by much.

Are you fucking shitting me?! The GODDAMN play GODDAMN stands as GODDAMN called on the GODDAMN field?! Could that have been anymore obvious that the KU player caught the ball then took about two steps?!

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Please REDACT all the aforementioned GDs; Yuengling has got the USF hate flowin’ freely tonight.

Excuse me Stewardess, but I speak jive says:
the Yuengling is treating me juuust fiiiiiine.
good game, too. if it weren’t for all those GODDAMN ads for the OSU/USC game…

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
Why does #74 (Spikes?) for KU not have some laces hanging from his posterior? Because by now somebody shoulda put a foot in his ass for that piss-poor performance.

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
@ 32 – Yeah, it is a pretty good game. As an Auburn fan, I wanna roll around in some schadenfreude at USF’s expense. And the Yeungling is treating me just fiiiiiiine as well.

Harris says:
He’s been a 5-foot-11 quarterback his whole life? Jesus, he must have been the most terrifying quarterback in the history of Pop Warner football. I swear I don’t know how either of these QBs can play with the announcers hanging on their dicks all night.

A Clean Kick To The Facemask says:
BEEEEEESSSSS! Sorry, had enough to drink that I’ll yell anything that an attractive young lass yells (/wink at Holly). And that was a good kick by USF’s kicker and a good game overall.
