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.

Excuse me Stewardess, but I speak jive says:
not enough violations or scandals to be initiated into the SEC.
I’d trade Vandy and a 1984 Mark McGuire Donruss card for them though.
Give them time….

Well, that does it for us as a top 25 school for a while. Hellva game and USF deserved to win. Not a bad way to spend the early part of friday night.
/still sucks to lose.

JD says:
ESPN hypes the shit out of OSU-USC, and that game will likely suck.
ESPN barely mentions KU-USF, and it ends up being the best game of the year so far.
ESPN = Epic fail

Excuse me Stewardess, but I speak jive says:
ok, since i’m a little drunk and watching the movie, the parallel makes since:
I can only hope that USC is like Apollo Creed in the beginning of Rocky IV and comes in all supercharged as the favorite but gets killed (figuratively) by the big-ass Russian (tOSU).
This game is really picking the evil of 2 greaters, but I can’t decide which team i wish widespread delayed-infant-death-syndrome upon the most… Maybe the Colliseum will implode and just finish it as it ends in my dreams: No USC, No tOSU. But i’d save The Humanitarian, since he has the secret to patching the hole in the ozone layer that he’s waiting to unveil until his “Greatest Coach Evar” award ceremony.

I am watching the repeat of KU-USF on ESPN2 right now because I was busy at work; that’s how good the end was and I want to see all of how it got there.

Not You says:
Poor Mangino won’t be able to eat out of depression after this loss. He’ll only be able to get down two, maybe three fried turkeys.
So sad.

Did my slightly growing intoxicated state deceive me or did ESPN fail to show more than a upper body shot of The Mangina all night?
If they did, I was planning on reacting like Bluto to Flounder’s picture in Animal House during rush selection.

TJ says:
What a way to begin the weekend. That was one of the most well-played “big games” I’ve been to. USF fans even seemed to be more satisfied with their team–if it’s possible–than after the WVU win last year, because this time they played good CLEAN football.
Holy crap what a kick.
And, while we are pretty good drinkers in Gville, those USF people can really drink.

Charlie Murphey says:
Just wanted to know how much is ESPN paying you guys now that you are so mainstream in the CFB world.
Never really noticed the GamePlan stuff until this morning.
Nicely done, nicely done indeed.

I hate throw a bucket of truthiness on the pimpslap of Porky Pig there, but I’m pretty sure Terry Bowden is providing the national radio color commentary for the OSU/USC Trobuckalyspe.

Anyone else baking in the glow of a rival’s loss this morning?

I meant “basking in the glow” but this is a special hot glow, so baking works.

I had to start at about 8:30 for the Georgia Southern game because I’m a very important person who got to go on the field for warmups.

Knowshon for Heisman says:
For anyone who is losing money in the stock market and is looking for a sure bet. Pick Georgia over S Carolina (-7.5). This pick is better than any blue chip you’ll find. Moreno rushes for 140 and Stafford passes for 275.

PAK says:
The USF-Kansas game last night was one of the most entertaining games of the season.
Learning that Chris Spielman actually eats beef jerky during commercial breaks was just the icing on the cake. Talk about confirming everything you think you know about the universe… I’m just surprised he wasn’t eating the butchered remains of a deer he killed with his bare hands.

Somebody needs to tell those southern California dimwits that Butkus went to Illinois, not Ohio State.

PJ from NU in SF says:
Holly, I hope your team’s old OC is keeping his resume in circulation, because my Fighting Methodists pretty much tore up what decorating he’s done to WW Stadium. The Middies might finish the job if they can translate mass and acceleration into another Eckel, but they would need to come down on Duke like an anchor on a tugboat.
I’m flipping between the Northwestern and State games this morning, and working up a nice bolus of hate for Notre Dame. After that, I’ll either be playing with power tools, or seething in a dark room.
As far as OSU-USC goes, I’m rooting for the swarthy guy carrying the suitcase nuke.
I’d be happy to do the job myself, but my man Yuri is fresh out, and since the Mission is getting a lot of extra love from the po-pos this weekend, it seems like a good time to stay indoors.

Holly says:
PJ, I don’t hold out that much hope for today, but it’s Duke–he wins four games and he’s a folk hero.

Leaning on the clicker all day today because I’m assisting with the Pam Ward Chronicles at AA this weekend.
Emphasis on (if you care):
Cal @ Maryland (for Friedgen jokes alone)
FAU @ MSU (Pam Ward game, have to chronicle the stupid)
UCLA @ BYU
Georgia @ South Carolina
Michigan @ ND (CRIPPLE FIGHT!)
OSU @ USC (duh)
Wisky @ Fresno State (go, Mustache Riders!)
If I get a chance to sneak in some GT-VT, I will. I wanna see the triple option with better athletes; I get to see that offense a lot here in I-AA land.
