EDSBS'S BEST IN CLASS: WEEK 6
by Holly Anderson on Oct 11, 2010 2:30 PM EDT

PrintIn which we reward the highlights and lesser luminaries of Week 6.
SUPERSTAR! You already know who. 85% completion rate against the Tide, while also throwing for a field goal? Sakerlina continues to win games both in spite of and because of college football's philosopher-king-brah, and this week it was mostly "because of", and for that, we raise our glasses and shake our asses at DJ Steve (O)G and MC Tiny Floating Matty Mac.
GOOD HELPER! LaMichael James, ensuring that the nation's leading rusher is actually a running back this week for the first time all season.
YOU TRIED! The Gators' latest foray into uni changeups, which went exactly as predicted, exactly:
ADEQUATE! Alshon Jeffery, who did this. Not bad for a kid whose hands must've been just covered in gasoline.
IMPROVING! Oklahoma State actually put away their Sun Belt competition decisively this week! Huggles! Three weeks after surmounting Troy by a field goal, and just over an hour after after trailing Louisiana 21-17 at the half, the 'Pokes came roaring back past the Ragin' Cajuns for what will look on the scoreboard like a triumphant victory and not a matter of deep LOLshameness.
TAKE TURNS! Sweet of Andrew Luck to play defense there for a minute:
TEACHER'S PET! Tim Brewster, because JESUS FOOTBALL CHRIST, what a suck-up:
"That’s a poor reason. That’s a poor excuse," Brewster said. "I thought it was a very poor decision by a head football coach, and he’ll have to live with that because it was wrong and, heck, everybody in here knows it and everybody in college football knows it.
"It was wrong."
Wrong? Not technically, no. Once more for the cheap seats, and sing along if you know the words: IT'S YOUR JOB TO STOP THEM, hoss. And if it's morally wrong, we're discussing here, where does "Big Ten team loses to South Dakota at home" fall on the scale of all that's right and good?
* We find ourselves once again relegating LSU to the footnotes, acknowledging that while they're very much worthy of recognition, we are still without an image of a dragon spiraling to earth in flames wearing a jaunty fedora and holding a possum clamped in its jaws to properly illustrate the Bayou Bengals' weekend. Our sincere apologies.

Sadly it's a concept
Not for sale.
Otherwise I’d totally chip in.

I've already put in...
my request for The Pirate to sail from Margaritaville in Key West to Port of Miami for next year. Let Shannon finish the season, Zook him, and let good ol’ Capt. Mike Leach take a crack at it next year.
I love South Florida, but not all the people in it, whereas I hate Tallahassee, but not all the people in it.
Thats a good call
I had thought Pirate to Carolina, UCLA, or maybe Minnesota, but the U sounds more realistic now that you bring that up
Now if one of yas hasta, you can take that old woman over there, she might be worth maybe, one donkey. . .
Oh God.
Don’t get my hopes up about the Pirate to Carolina.
I think we’re still going to try and throw a bunch of money at a new HC (with revamped compliance office), which means your 2011 UNC HC is Tommy Bowden.
If you hire Bowden,
better not tell him about the new compliance office until he signs on the dotted line.

I have no faith in UNC's staffing department
I mean, we did employ The Walrus formally known as John Bunting for multiple years.
also a walrus:

"Meyer said he heard the fans booing the play calling at Saturday night's loss to LSU."
Guess no one asked if he agreed with it.
after years of players like Taylor Mays and Ray Maualuga...
…there’s probably some karmic inevitability to one of our cornerbacks getting a helmet-to-helmet shot from a quarterback, just for a change.
I wasn’t expecting a flag but it’s worrisome that the new look defense wasn’t able to get their hands on Luck for the rest of the night.
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
Some CB's are bigger prima donnas than QB's
So I am in favor of anything that leads to them getting leveled.
I wish Andrew Luck would show up at Deion Sander’s house with a pizza delivery.

My real fear is that one of the defense actually did something that he should have and was immediately walloped. This is the kind of negative reinforcement that might drive them to keep doing what they’ve been doing thus far (being massively out of position and failing to tackle anything that moves).
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea"
Brewster deserves more credit for becoming, somehow, even more loathsome and embarrassing in my eyes than he was a week ago.
Minnesota AD deserves a beat down for that hire
Now if one of yas hasta, you can take that old woman over there, she might be worth maybe, one donkey. . .
I hear next week he’s going to mysteriously light Goldy on fire after the game.

Miles' eyes never look that crazy.... but they should.
Then again, Miles is some sort of Nietzshian Superman or something.

The White Hat
is an acceptable substitute for the jaunty fedora in this case
Vick Ballard, RB, Miss. State
For leading the SEC in rushing touchdowns (and maybe the country?.. not sure on that one)
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Taylor Martinez has 12
Vai Taua and The Angry Ostrich have 11, as does Ballard.

Angry Ostrich = ?
Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, or someone i am not aware of?

this guy is for real.
i was calling for him to be the primary back after the Auburn game. Reminds me the most of Dixon of the 3 guys getting carries.

Picking nits
Trent had 177 all purpose yards (142 on kickoff returns)… feel free to continue taking shots at Bama for the loss – total crapfest Saturday.
Plenty of fodder to choose from – 7 sacks allowed, piss poor d, insane fake FG play with a back up LB as you intended receiver, abandoning the run, Saban’s pregame light blue blazer.

Justice would be served
If Les lost way more than he has this season – especially if said loss was to Tennessee.
…wait changed my mind NO ONE deserves to lose to Tennessee. They can’t even shower right.

If we're getting a SO FUCKING METAL sticker
can we get a WHAT’S YOUR DEAL sticker for the whiniest coach bitch of the week?
My name is Cliff Harris, and I’m here to lock shit down.
oSu...
With a 6-0 start that will end up with us going 8-4. Yippers.
They shall know me by the tang of my bitter and untenable jadedness.
Noel Devine of WVU: 84 yards and two TDs on three carries. One TD of 28 yards, the other was 48 yards.
Then he politely sat on the bench for the rest of the game to give others a chance to score.

To the University of Colorado
Sure, you’ve been outscored by Missouri 203-40 over five years, and sure two of those games were shut outs, and sure you haven’t scored a point at Faurot Field since 2006. But it could be worse. You could have to play Oregon every year.
Oh. Right. Well, bye.

Glad Arkansas won but....
Could we get a “Crimes Against Football” sticker? That was one of the ugliest wins I’ve seen in awhile.
Tons of penalties, bad turnovers, boneheaded mistakes all around.
We're all on the Hindenberg. No reason to fight over a window seat.
