ASK THE BIG 10 COMMISH: LAID-BACK ADVICE FROM THE UNFLUSTERABLE JIM DELANY
Worried about the Big 10's recent habit of face-planting in high-profile out-of-conference games? Jim Delany isn't: "In any particular time frame, could be three years, could be five years, could be two years, you could get your ass kicked, OK?" Delany continued. "It can happen. We’re not playing...
CORRECTIONS FOR THE WEEK THAT WAS: 3/28/08
We all make mistakes. In fact, some of us specialize in them. Thus, we present the EDSBS Corrections for the week through 3/28/08. Mistakes: we make 'em. On Tuesday, we mentioned that Bo Pelini's middle name was "Steven." This is incorrect: Pelini's middle name is Wrathhammer. We regret the...
LAS CRONICAS DE BOSS HAWG: MAS, MAS LOCO POR FAVOR!
And now, after a generously late starting time, the continuing saga of... Don Frank, a.k.a. Frank Broyles, Arkansas' retired semi-legendary coach and longtime AD, will be retiring after the calendar year 2007. Events on the rancho happened very quickly: the retirement came after a meeting of the...
CRY, LITTLE BOY. CRY.
We'd stop doing this, but we just can't. The hangover's just too sweet to relinquish. Your tears...they bring us joy. We drink them from your Heisman-winning skull.
CHAMPIONS.
Overwhelmed with emotion--simply overwhelmed. 41 out of 50 AP sportswriters can go choke themselves with a Twizzler right now. After five minutes, this game was out of reach. It's not that Florida was merely good--they were flawless and magnificent like anyone who's ever appeared on The Actor's...
BOWLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: EMERALD BOWL PREVIEW
Name: The Emerald Bowl. Our fingers really just wanted to keep typing here--whaaa? No improbably clunky secondary sponsor? No long modifiers? No Pioneer Purevision Bell Helicopteredness?--but that's it. The Emerald Bowl, brought to you by Chan Gailey. Actually, as we'll remind you several times...
LONE PROFESSOR BRAVELY SALVAGES GEORGIA TECH SEASON
Subcommandante Wayne will be along in a bit. There's some actual news going on, and let's not let Wayne near that, shall we? In an era where some professors cower and even abet the scullduggery associated with many D-1 football programs' academics, one professor has stood up and said NAY to...
FSU'S OUTSOURCING THEIR BAND. AGAIN.
FSU's outsourcing their band--again, though T.K. Wetherell insists it's part of a symbolic move by the university to punish itself for its lowly gridiron performance this year. We think it's to save money and piss on the bowl game that's deigned to offer them a bid, since the FSU band has somewhere...
COACH KILLER: EBAY
No supplements needed on Bobby Bowden's explanation for his son's inability to call anything besides a square-in, jump ball, or blown-up screen as an offensive coordinator: As for why things didn't work out, he didn't point to statistics or won-lost records. "Because you all ignited it," he said to...
THE PERFECT METAPHOR: FSU AS BERNIE
The Itch thinks FSU has become Weekend At Bernie's. That might be giving the program too much credit at this point, since Bernie could waterski, and we're pretty sure that Bobby Bowden can't do that at this point. As they point out, not a single one of the picks FSU's qbs threw was anywhere near a...
