WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD, CAPTAINS

PrintWell, hey there! No, can't quite move the face yet, and the new boobs are---wait, boobs? We certainly didn't ask for a new rack, especially since we're dudes, and...well, shit, they're actually pretty cool. We'll keep 'em for a few weeks until they get old, or we start getting disturbing propositions from tranny chasers. Lemonade from lemons, we say.
This is EDSBS 2.0, now hosted on the SB Nation platform. You hate it? TOO BAD. You love it? YOU'RE THE GREATEST PERSON EVER. Before we get into the particulars, a reminder of our general mission statement.
Do not explain the plot, and if you don't understand then you should not be here. Our money is now your money, and we will spend it on drugs or, more likely, expensive booze to splash around tailgates. This is a college football website with a wandering, easily distracted eye.
Q: Don't you have anything better to do?
A: No, not anymore. It's great.
Q: Can I get back the five minutes I wasted reading the post?
A: No. We've just brought you five minutes closer to death and you didn't even enjoy it, and that is our revenge for you being a twat. Sadism: It just keeps giving and giving.
Q: So, what's going to change here?
A: Content-wise, nothing. This is good if you were hoping for the same, and bad if you were hoping for improvement, since that's never happening around here. One thing you can count on is more stability platform-wise, snazzier formatting, actual competently sized pictures, and some new widgets for the LULZ. Because it is all for the LULZ here.
Q: WAAAAAHHH I DON'T WANT TO REGISTER.
A: Too bad. You probably need to update that username anyway, since it is a truism that 20% of all sports blog commenter names are based on Anchorman, and you need to step up your reference game if that's true. Additionally, it's something you should just have to do once and then be done with it. An added benefit is that it keeps trolls out, too, or at least the trolls we haven't come to know and love throughout the years for their frightening but sometimes charming personality disorders. You know who you are.
Q: I HATE THE LAYOUT.
A: Great. You have strong opinions. That's excellent. People like passion. People also love cheese, which in our opinion is the curdled fromunda cheese of Satan's crotchpits. This is leaner, faster, better, and will have a mobile function allowing for easier, less squint-y reading on your mobile devices, something we would have never had the time or skill to cook up using WordPress.
Q: What's a fanpost?
A: A thorough explanation is here, but essentially it's forums within forums, or a more convenient way of posting a link, image, or anything really without clogging up streaming discussion. In some places it becomes a spot for polite flame wars, and on other blogs it's where they post vide os of Korean teen pop stars kissing their team's helmet. On EDSBS, I sincerely hope it will be the 4chan /b/ board of college football, but without the racial slurs and pornography. Okay, without the racial slurs and too much pornography. That needed correction.
Q: Where's Steve and Danny?
A: Where they always are: in football Valhalla, throwing fade passes in the 1996 Sugar Bowl. The colors remain a nod to Florida, and we remain a Florida-slanted blog in ever sens of the word save one: coverage. We write about far too many things to be claimed as an exclusively Florida blog, a condition which has been true for at least two years. Thus the flaming football, which could only be improved with a big beefy Trogdor arm sticking out of it.
Q: So...anything else?
A: The site is best viewed in Wide mode, because we girthy like that. Otherwise: Welcome to the New World, Captain Ramius.

Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

I thought the flaming football was a subtle nod to the barely-latent homoeroticism of college football. If so, cool. If not, cool.
Shiney Commenting System!
I love the functionality of the new comments system. Yay threading! And as Chris Matthews would put it — the live updating thing gave me a thrill up my leg the first time it happened.
I don’t love the look of the comment threads somehow (am I the only one who finds them just a touch less approachable and easy to read?) but the functionality makes up for it.
Z is now my favorite key. Auto-scrolling and marking FTW!

Why pick the damn Z button? My left pinkie has an exclusive deal with my left nostril and there’s a motherfucker of a non-compete to deal with.

Boo!
New format makes me feel just as uneasy as when the Broncos busted out their new unis.
Great
My favorite blog just joined up with my favorite blog nation. I also get to keep the same name, as I had it here already. The question is, when will they put a kibosh on us measly readers adding fanshots and fanposts…over-under=yesterday
Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
By all means, do.
BTW, this place is pretty lax. A couple of pointers, use the “z” key when opening up to take you direct to new comments. Do not post entire articles, just links and a small part of said article. Profanity is a-fuckin’-OK.

Wow! Different can be fun!
Kinda like doggy style, the first time around. I do miss the nonchalant look on Steve’s face as he casually side-fives Wuerffel without really looking at him, mouth spasms at the ready; nervous, twitching brain already focusing in the next series of calls.
At 11:59 p.m. the bartender got down one of the special glasses, pulled a certain bottle from a back cabinet and walked to the end of the bar by the open side door. The house band was playing an extended version of Clapton’s “Running on Faith,” the lead vocalist and sidemen in good sync, harmonizing on the coda, almost chanting “love . . . comes over you.” Doing it over and over, working their way up to a big finish.
At 12:00 midnight a double Dalwhinnie on the rocks appeared on the gleaming mahogany above a leather-cushioned end stool. A lean, tanned, impeccably-tailored man walked Italian made shoes through the open side door on the Bourbon Street end of the La Strada Club. His eyes took in the room in one long second, including the moist-browed proprietor approaching with a manila envelope held at his left side away from other customers, but hesitating before coming too close.
In one smooth motion the man sniffed and savored, then downed the glittering amber. He briefly closed his eyes and almost smiled as he replaced the empty glass on the bar, where it was immediately whisked away. At some point the envelope and the proprietor had moved to their separate destinations. The man left his stool and walked back into the night, never having uttered a word.
The proprietor took a deep breath and mopped his brow with a bar towel. Gazing at the empty doorway, he asked the bartender, “Do you think he likes the new EDSBS?”
“Hell, man, you should have asked him,” replied the bartender, polishing a multifaceted Waterford crystal tumbler, one of two maintained by the club for such occasions.
