Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

CORRECTIONS, 1/16/2009

Mistakes: we make them. The Corrections follow.

On Monday, we reported that Ron Zook has accepted an offseason endorsement deal with the Hollister clothing company, and that his shirtless billboard campaign has been the source of much consternation among U of I boosters. Coach Zook's contract is with Abercrombie & Fitch. We regret the error.

On Tuesday, we reported that former SEC announcer Ron Franklin had been arrested for public intoxication in his hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. Franklin was in actuality arrested for armed robbery. We regret the error.

Star-divide

Monday's Draft Board Roundup reported a shocking discovery by NFL doctors who claim Percy Harvin's joints are constructed entirely of spun sugar candy. A consultation with Mr. Harvin's personal physical has revealed that, in fact, his bones are formed from delicious, chewy marzipan. We regret the error.

Tuesday's profile of Kirk Herbstreit listed his favorite karaoke song as Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69". This is incorrect. Mr. Herbstreit prefers "Sheila", by Ready for the World. We regret the error.

On Wednesday, we mistakenly listed graduating Texas A&M senior Jorvorskie Lane's major as "Physical Education." Lane majored instead in "Cheesecake." We regret the error.

Wednesday's Big 10 Algonquin Roundtable implied that Penn State head coach Joe Paterno was the inspiration for Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. The Hemingway estate has contacted us and assured our editorial staff that this is a common mistake. Paterno's life was actually the basis for Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". We regret the error.

Monday's Curious Index reported that Tim Brewster, Minnesota coach, played the drummer in this video.

That was inaccurate; Brewster actually plays the lead singer. We regret the error.

In Vol. II of this year's EDSBS THE MAGAZINE, we published an article entitles, "Dennis Franchione Returns to Coaching...and Love!" While Mr. Franchione is pursuing offseason leads for 2009, his agent assures us he remains trapped in a cold, emotionless marriage to a tulip poplar." We regret the error.

Mrs. Franchione, seen here in a 2003 file photo, was unavailable for comment.

Earlier today, we printed a retraction regarding ESPN announcer Ron Franklin. We reported that Franklin had been arrested for armed robbery. Franklin was calling a basketball game at the time, and was not involved in the crime in any way. Please replace "Ron Franklin" with "Ed Podolak," "Jackson, Mississippi" with "Des Moines, Iowa," and "armed robbery" with "topiary rape." We regret the error.

On Thursday, we reported that suit had been filed in the case of Discovery Channel versus Willingham. As a follow-up and semi correction, Willingham's claim of copyright infringement did not apply to Discovery's hit show Man Versus Wild, but instead to the show Destroyed in Seconds. The suit was thrown out, as the judge ruled that it takes at least three years for Ty Willingham to destroy a football program, and not seconds as indicated by the show's title.

Missed this :-)… The Podolak peice was a peice of beauty, did not see it coming… A state morns its fallen ledgend… I mean, come on, it is Iowa, we have a plethora of functioning alcoholics… it was minus 16 degrees here for cripes sake this morning… Who hasn’t quaffed a few High Life’s, oggled a woman half your age.

Pickings are slim in Iowa… can you blame him? BHGP is stiill in mourning

Peace Out

You sure about Kirk Herbstreit’s favorite song? I thought his favorite was Idol David Cook’s “Light On.” You know he looks at his pictures online and goes on to Corso about how dreamy he is.

Errors and Omissions should go the way of the bunda. It’s lame.

Raider Red – so thrilled to have someone of such comedic genius help us to recognize what is “lame” and what is not here… please stick around and comment on any piece that you feel falls below our usual high EDSBS standards

and by that what I really mean is fuck yourself, go read another blog

Hey, he thinks they’re lame. That’s fine, WarChiziken. This is a safe place, like a nest. A nest where sometimes snakes come, and eat the eggs, and then wait for the mama bird to return for dessert.

Gah, “Sheila.” My neighbor laid outside in a tiny bikini blasting that song for hours on end one summer. Sadly, my neighbor was a dude.

Strong first showing Holly… breaking out the correcting-the-corrections wormhole right off the bat.

No joke, I heard Herbstreit on the Tirico/Van Pelt radio show last summer and he claimed:

a) He had no idea how to work an iPod, and
b) His favorite thing to listen to on the radio is the Delilah show.

I have no idea what those songs are that you say he does or does not like are, but keep that in mind every time you see him on TV. He loves Delilah.

You don’t regret the error on Ty’s piece?
I wonder how to interpret that…

by shawnoc on Jan 16, 2009 3:34 PM EST reply actions  

When this popped up in the google reader, my first reaction was anticipatory laughter at corrections being back, but that was soon overtaken by the melancholy realization that the offseason is truly upon us. You are truly doing the Lord’s work helping everyone through the barren months of the offseason.

And the Raider was just butthurt that his team had their best season in the history of the program and lost in the cotton bowl.

by Beamwalker on Jan 16, 2009 3:56 PM EST reply actions  

Errors and Omissions (E&O for those of us in the very, very lame know) is a professional liability insurance coverage thta protects you or your company from protects your company from claims of damages if your client holds you responsible for errors, or the failure of your work to perform as promised in your contract.

The Corrections is a beautifully crafted piece of work served up hot and fresh by the good folks at Swindle Industries every Friday during the offseason. It serves as a sort of online methadone clinic for those of us with an accute college football addiction. The Corrections, in conjunction with Cheesecake Fridays, offer us a bit of respite on a long Friday afternoon spent knowing that there will be no college football to watch tomorrow. If you do not like them, I suggest not turning to EDSBS on Friday afternoons, and instead praying that your higher being of choice have mercy on your miserable soul.

What does TCOAN stand for? I know it is Orson’s woman, but really want the answer.

Thanks.

I was under the impression that programs that claim “this is their year” (annually) and then get clobbered by a kajillion (annually) are lame.

But maybe that’s just me.

Carry on, Holly. The Franchione bit slays. Though how you didn’t include the two Westminster College clowns is beyond me.

The first time I saw TCOAN mentioned, I misread the N as an M, and came up with The Cunt Orson Actually Married. So, I was wrong: it’s not the first time. Shoot me, why don’t you?

If you still enjoy tiny bikinis and can hear these words

Nothing tops the immortal “Let me Love you down” when you are a freshman bumping and grinding ,having no idea what the hell you are doing , just copying everyone elses moves, trying to kiss a girl that kisses like a cross between pirahna with a mouth full of braces and MS.

If there is going to be a thread left up this long does it have to be one of [Name Redactedy-dacted]?

by Phocion on Jan 19, 2009 8:55 AM EST reply actions  

@ 41

Assuming 41 is a Florida fan, which admittedly is a big assumption, he should be grateful for the Zooker. Had Foley hired someone legitimate, Meyer would have ended up at Notre Dame, and Florida may not have two BCS titles in the last three years.

I think most schools would accept 3 years of Ron Zook-type results at Florida for the ensuing four years under Meyer.

I, myself, would settle for an ACC title, which probably will not happen for another 4 years.

by Coop on Jan 19, 2009 10:13 AM EST reply actions  

Did that first item escape the blog redaction department? Maybe you need to program Zook into the cuss word filter.

by BRD on Jan 19, 2009 11:45 AM EST reply actions  

@42

41 is decidely NOT a Florida fan…he just doesn’t get the same thrill off of [Name Redacted] ’s likeness photoshopped on to soft core/A&F ads as other may. It was disturbing when coming for cfb chatter to be continually confronted with what passes these days as eroticism for pre-pubecents. Though it was better than the previous Tower of Viles.
