This is simply ESPN making up for the Dave-deficit created when the JP/LF/Raycom contract ended.

And I didn’t even know Dave Matthews and The Orgeron were related.

I guess bros across america will be happy about this…

God, I hate that band and this has officially made me sick to my stomach. DMB makes my HANDS HURT.

frat-tastic news!

FUCK. THIS. SHIT. If I wanted to listen to fucking DMB early in the morning on a Saturday, I’ll put my beanie on, bust out the hacky sack, forsake showering, and smoke an overpriced bowl of middies my own damn self. Big and Rich could have stayed…. People still listen to this shit? Fuck, I’m so angry I could bust a cap in a yuppie and slit the tires of their Land Rover Discovery.

Sorry but I have to disagree with you Orson. I’ll take the midget over DMB.

The only way this could get worse is if the music were played with slow motion shots of Pam Ward remaking the Baywatch intro. Hmm…LSU Freek???

I’m a DMB fan, however @6, the LSU freek visual should be the grainy vid of Erin Andrews with Pam Ward’s head. And the guy at the peephole with the cam should be Brett Musburger.

Be careful what you wish for. The hell you knew was better than the hell you didn’t know, until now. So lemme guess, “Crash…..into you…baby….” will be the “Hardest Hits of the Week” intro music???

Damn you, JIMatUA. I was hoping that we could at least make it until the first Saturday game before anyone mentioned PW….but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you had to bring it up. It is sickening enough to have Chesney and DMB in the same posting without PW being thrown into the mix.

You all may be pleasantly suprised. 7 of the 10 songs will be from DMB’s newest album which has a much harder rock feel and should be great with college football highlights! I am pumped!

Rabble, rabble, I hate DMB, too. Rabble, rabble, its cool to hate them. Rabble, rabble.

Granted, DMB is not entertaining, but Disney is never going to put on a band that anyone who reads EDSBS likes, other than Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers for that college football enthusiast/pedophile demographic.

I love the absolutely ridiculous stereotypes of dave matthews…i disagree 100% obviously but it is quite hilarious :-)

WGAF. As long as they don’t interrupt actual football for a concert, they can play Courtney Love for all I care. I just want to see some games. I’ve been waiting for 8 fucking months!

Darius Rucker would have been a far superior choice, despite his college affiliation.

ABC was doing this last year was it not.

Y’all as cold as ice!

I think I would rather take sandpaper to a lion’s ass while standing in a phone booth than watch DMB perform anything.

And what the fuck is a South African doing singing songs about American Football? Next thing you know they’ll be talking about apartheid and soccer.

…and O., while I do find your lyrics as sung above pretty spot-on, I do have a soft spot (maybe an area of failed brain cells) for Grace is Gone, which speaks to my personal experience and justifies my frequent request for “one more drink and I’ll be gone…”, however, I have found it a little histrionic for seeing “neon signs through smoky eyes” to “weigh heavy on my mind”.

Orson, were you reporting/mocking the inclusion of DMB used for the daily College Football Live broadcasts? Because I was just watching CFL (~3:40 PM EDT), and as they were going to commercial, they used some sort of remixed DMB song.

I shit you not. Cross my heart and lights down you up and die.

Actually, I thought Orson was quoting lyrics from “CREED SHREDS 3”, then I realize it was verbatim DMB…..I always thought that Tom Hanks would play the role of Dave Matthews in a DMB Autobiography…..

There just isn’t enough quality tardstrutting these days…

Too bad JPW is gone.

JPW highlights, helmet off and hair perfect, while Satellite plays going to the commercial break…
imagine the possiblities

At this rate, the NuMetal intro will be launched sometime in 2013-2015. POD baby111!!!

Dammit, I was looking forward to Tool doing the intro’s this year, especially for Miami vs Fla State…..
“Prison Sex” would be be perfect…….

BTW,
When the hell are we LIVEBLOGGING for us who are homebound and will be routinely drunk on Thurs nites this fall……

Wait, so does this mean no more Big and Rich?

You people are funny.

Way to fall back on stereotypes. You realize that the people your small fucking minds think are DMB fans are only a TINY percentage of the fan base?

Grow the fuck up. Its 20 seconds of music going to commercial breaks.

Holy shit you guys are fucking retarded

Are you retarded? Did you eat paint chips as a kid? Were you dropped on your head when you were younger? etc etc etc

Thanks Kerwin4two, I’ll now live the next few years in the dread that ESPN will decide to get ‘edgy’ and sign Fred Durst to be their official gameday artist. To be fair it would target the coveted douchebag demographic.

god damn dave matthews sucks. frat boys everywhere are readily going to be looking for the scant undertones and meanings of his Gameday song. ugh.

What I wouldn’t give to have Bubba Sparxx back.

But at least Chesney and Big n’ Rich are sorta uptempo. When I’m watching football I don’t wanna feel stoned. Fuck Dave Matthews. That Hoore

I guess we should be thankful that ESPN didn’t pull out their Mouse In-House Discount card for the Jonas Brothers.

CARE BEAR TARDSTRUT FTW

I guess it is because this is so OT or that football is so close but look it over, this is the least funny comment thread ever.

I didn’t help.

DMB fans, just think, ESPN rates your band up there with Bubba Sparxx and Big & Rich……awesome.

I had the misfortune of going to see DMB in 1996 while in college……..and I actually paid for tickets, what a waste of beer money that was.

The Voice @#28…so we’re “funny” and “fucking retarded”…in effect you are making fun of the mentally challenged…shame, shame, shame on you…try walking in our shoes for a change of perspective and maybe a little compassion might grow in that cold heart of yours. The prospect of the approaching college football season has differing effects on people…obviously the effect it has on you is humorless and profane…I’ll give you that without attempting to demean or castigate your choice…

Factoid: All DMB songs are played in the key of “suck” and his voice sounds like a howler monkey with his balls caught in a wood chipper.

Didn’t think it could be worse than Big and Rich. I was wrong.

Our country is finished. Must go listen to Don Lennon until the end comes . . . .

I actually think Lil Wayne is the choice of frat guys now….

First, this is a silly argument – the argument that this is a silly argument could be a blog in itself, but it needs to be understood. Spoiler Alert: It’s like 10 seconds of background music to football clips. We will all live.

Second, there has not been a single intellegent argument against the band itself. Anyone who listens to this band knows that even their slow songs are up tempo. They have a style that cannot be defined because they combine funk, jazz, rock and dozens of other styles. At concerts around the world people stand and dance for the entirety of the show (including dave, which requires an unbelievable amount of rhythm). Carter Beuford has been labeled one of the greatest drummers of all time. Carter provides a pulse that is unmatched by any current artist.

Third, the constant references to drugs are borderline ridiculous – as if there is a single artist on the planet (excluding christian rock) who does not draw a some sort of an alcohol abusing marijuana smoking crowd.

Fourth, c’mooooonnnnnnn….

Fifth, the stereotyping of fans isn’t very close to accurate. The concerts i have attended have been seeing more and more douchy guido-types (which, in my opinion is FAR FAR worse than any giggly, gluttonous, red eyed stoner-type).
Additionally, Do you hate the allman brothers because they have an overwhelmingly stoner/hippie crowd? They are some of the most talented, hardworking musicians on the planet (who by the way are excellent friends with the talented gentlemen of the dave matthews band).

sixth, i should have probably proof read this thing, but i am too tired and want to sleep now. i hope i have opened your mind a little.
