EDSBSGPS: WHERE WE AT, WEEK 1

Testing tents, generators, grills, and chairs in prep for tailgating.

Please tell me you took the opportunity to congratulate Lord Mingo on his NOTY victory in person…

Hoping the waves are still up in the morning in St. Aug. AND THEN THE FOOTBALL COMMENCES.

In Person:
Cal vs UC-Davis (with chicken-apple sausage from Top Dog, the world’s greatest Berkeley-based Objectivist Libertarian hot dog purveyor)

On GamePlan DVR:
Alabama-SJSU (for benefit of visiting relations)
Vanderbilt-Northwestern (to see if they can actually get 4 RBs on the field at once)

Monday Night:
VT-BSU (drinking straight from the handle for best man, hokie hokie hokie hi)

start off with our Fulmer Cup champs, watching Clemson’s massacre of N. Texas then LSU/UNC.

If Les manages to fuck that up i’ll flip to TCU.

Monitoring: Will Dallas be able to fill 1/2 of JerryWorld to see their top-ten hometown team take on a top-25 team?

Mornin’ drankin’ in Ben Hill’s parking lot. then hopping down 75 to catch USF slap the finest players the state of Ny has to offer…a walk on position to. Break out the Tervis, IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON.

for the UF-Some crappy school game. After that, I’ll be somewhere in Greater Tallahasseee getting drunk enough to make bad decisions.

On the tube: Ole Miss, followed by flipping between Auburn, Alabama, and LSU.

11:00am – I don’t even know what games are on early but I will do my best to avoid Pam Ward
2:30pm – UConn/Michigan, Kentucky/Louisville, Purdue/Notre Dame
6:00pm – Stony Brook vs. THESOUTHFLORIDABULLS, interspersed with Oregon State/TCU and LSU/Team Ineligible on the computer
LATE NIGHT BONUS – Cincinnati/Walrus Mustache

followed by the Grove and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium/Hollingsworth Field for the Gamecocks of Jacksonville State, versus the Rebels of Ollllllllllle Miss!

…I didn’t know this. I thought football ruled all. Those people are no longer my friends.

I will be watching Florida take on the other Miami with true college football fans at the nearest Buffalo Wild Wings. From that point on, the 3 (or 4) TVs will be set up at The Bull Gator household as we watch all games imaginable. The night will culminate in LSU and Cumberland…er…UNC. And then I will attempt to make it through Wisconsin live from the Vegas strip.

looking under bridges for Damon Evans’ lost innocence. May bring my driver’s license, may not.

Drink of choice: the Arson Charles.

Grilling some ribs, drinking some beer, and basking in the glow of a 1-0 start.

A friend of a friend who had a bunch of ND tickets to get rid of never got back to me, so I will be watching the Irish derail the Boilers from the couch as I sip Malibu & Pepsi. Probably look in on the other games as time permits throughout the day.

Line-up: Miami (OH) vs. Florida or ULaLa vs. Jawja on the tee-vee.
Ole Miss vs. the other Cocks on some illegal stream somewhere (is it too late to order Game Plan for DirecTV?) or Kellum & crew on the radio.
LSU vs. the UNC Chess Club and Debate Team.

Victuals: Homemade pizza (if by “made” you mean “taken out of freezer and put in microwave”).

Libations: Chalet Debonne Grand River Valley River Blanc (yes, yes, SEC bretheren, I’m drinking an Ohio wine. A friend gave it to me during a D.C. get-together and I’m finally un-corking the sucker).

Drinking schedule:

-Bourbon and SEC on CBS theme at dawn (tradition)*
-Bourbon at mid-morning along with Paula Deen’s breakfast casserole
-Beer at lunch,
-Bourbon post-lunch until gametime, then back to beer
-Hard liquor to celebrate/lament results of game.
-More football in the evening, then a Chris Knight show and somehow keeping track of TCU/Oregon St..
-Last but not least, OldSouth needs to find a way to break up with the lady he’s been dating in the middle of this (she’s not, uh, physical enough, and that’s really my only complaint, so honesty is out of the question). Suggestions appreciated.

The EDSBS voicemail is saved in my phone in the impossible event that we lose.

*I’ll get on here around dawn (7:10) to see if any y’all rapscallions are doin’ it dirty as well

WTF?!

Hell, I don’t care. I’m getting out of the house and Gator Fest is going on in Lubbock this weekend as well.

Country music, cajun food, tons of beer, and Tubberville vs Jones.

Not bad for a last minute deal, eh?

Taking the 6 year old so gotta drink slow. The wife will be along around lunch with my younger two. Tailgate with friends/monitor other games all day and then the wife will load up the brood and head back to ATL while I go to the game and stay the night in AU.

If Old South wants any lady handlin’ advice he should contact me directly.

No, they won’t. Because they will tell you that TCU are FORT WORTH’S team, and they don’t want anything to do with that. (The rivalry between the two cities is real.)

and it’s not even Sunday yet.

9AM: drive a carload of college students to a service project in Des Moines.
3PM: return from Des Moines and go to a friend’s house, where we’ll remove soaked drywall from the recent flooding (Mrs. Rev volunteered me, and they’re paying in beer).
9PMish: return home, crack open another beer, watch Nebraska steamroll WKU on the DVR. If I can stay awake I’ll catch The Hat vs. Team Ineligible for late night comedy hour.

Then headed to the NYC alumni bar to see a good Alabama scrimmage.

At HQ Control here in the Metroplex.

The main event:

Jr. Chick-Fil-A Bowl (LSU @ UNC) – The last time LSU were on ABC this year, they stunk the joint up. Hoping that doesn’t happen again, as a loss may trigger the writing of the Final Draft of postings for some job openings in Football in a few months. OC should have been posted in January.

The undercard is below.

Morning Session:

Cradle of Coaches University @ Florida – Go Gators! (Contractually obligated to say that.)

Afternoon Session:

Tex-ass @ Rice – “Why does Rice play Texas?” asked JFK in his 1962 speech on Rice’s Campus. Well, these days, they do it to get paid handsomely for being slaughtered. I would figure every High School Recruit in the Houston Area for the next three years will be at this game. Mack may sign half of his 2012 and 2013 Classes by Halftime.

Night Session:

JerryWorld Kickoff Classic (Oregon State @ TCU) – as commercials during LSU-UNC warrant.

On The Menu: Flatiron Steaks on the grill, washed down by Shiner Blonde.

8am: making breakfast, setting up the extra tv and laptop, and drankin. Just beer for now, it’s a long day.
Noon: sweat feat at Doak, though I’m not sure why.
3-5pm: shower, cool off. Whatever’s on. Am I the only geek here that makes a spreadsheet of all the televised games so I don’t lose track of them?
5:30pm: off to an Arkansas alum’s house for slow and low ribs. Hogs are on at 7 but OSU-TCU will be on re second tv. Also excited about the NW-Vandy nerd bowl.
10pm: switching to bourbon for the ASU cupcake game! Not sure how many sparky will win this year so I have to make them count.

Morning: Finish recovering from the type of epic hangover that can ensue when your team ices a kicker two times to semi-detrimental effect on a Thursday night.

Afternoon: Turn back on short-lived sobriety as Hurt Locker begins his Heisman campaign by destroying the evil Team Down South (Die, Cougars Die!)

Evening: Watch TCU-Ore St, try to figure out which conference I’m supposed to root for.

Iowa at U of A could be a humdinger of a matchup…

Wife’s mother’s family reunion. We got a big old beach house with a pool and a bikini view.

Cooking 25 pounds of Frogmore Stew (AKA Lowcountry Boil or Beaufort Stew) plus burgers and dogs for the kiddies.

Drankin’ Bermudian Black SEal rum and ginger beer (Dark ‘N Stormy) early and Virgin Island white rum and Coke later when I can’t taste it anymore anyway.

Watching Clemson / North Texas on the box and following West By God Virginia on the computer. Don’t know what later games I’ll get to catch

and I have to ask what time is it? :)

Just put 2 pork butts in my alton brown smoker to be ready in time to watch the Bruins against K. State on the tv tomorrow along with about 15 friends.

I will be at home baking bread and giving thanks that the drought is over and we have begun the season of plenty.

gonna watch Florida/Miami(OH) then switch between the various other games that are on.

In-person: The Citadel vs. Chowan at beautiful Johnson Hagood stadium
On the dish in the parking lot: Clemson v. North Texas

Drink of choice: Virginia Gentleman bourbon mixed with just enough Northern Neck Ginger Ale served in a Tervis tumbler with plenty o’ ice

Food: whatever the women folk throw together..most likely some cold fried chicken from Publix and assorted dips and desserts.. Too hot to drag out the grill…1:00PM kickoffs in 90 degree heat with 85% humidity do not inspire me to stand over a hot cooker all afternoon..

at the Rededication Game of Michigan Stadium. Hoping this isn’t the beginning of the end for Rich Rod.

No matter the result I’ll be following that up with Oregon State vs. TCU and LSU vs. North Carolina while drinking Bell’s Oberon. One of the few good reasons to live in Michigan right now. Here’s hoping I make it to Wisconsin @ UNLV.

In person: Mizzou vs Illinois, Part IV—The Redacting
After that: OSU-TCU, with UNC-LSU on in another room

What I’m drinking: I’m tailgating with one of those make-your-own six packs from a liquor store that sells over 1200 beers.

What I’m eating: First probably a breakfast sandwich from QuikTrip, then…I dunno…at the game, and a sandwich at home for the later stuff.

I’m off to bed now, as I have to wake up at 7 to drive to STL for the 11:30 kickoff. (curses Fox Sports under his breath)

And because I’m a nominal Catholic and really hate myself, I’ll be recording the ND-Purdue game at home.

Drink: Michter’s US #1 Unblended Whiskey in a Nalgene flask

I’ll be somewhere in Iraq staying up late to watch such games as AFN deems fit to broadcast, and trying to suck the video of Oregon v. New Mexico through the straw that is satellite internet. Drinking either Coca Cola (at least they use real sugar here and not that high-fructose corn syrup crap) or some Lowenbrau near-beer because General Order Number One (no booze or sex) is still in effect. My family sent me some salami cheese so things aren’t a total loss.

Hopefully we don’t get mortared again, since combat operations are supposed to be officially over I have no idea how to respond any more.

Watching the WVU-Coastal Carolina game, attending this famous tailgate:

Good luck to everyone!

At U-M v. Connecticut, then watching whatever’s on after.

Drinks? Founder’s Nemesis. It’s 13% alcohol, and delicious, and comes out only at Football season.

Go Blue!

…and that retard psuedo-country act is coming to my cit-aaayyyy.

God I hate that opening…

Other than that – let the games begin!

New thread! C’mon in .
