ONE MORE ORANGE AND BLUE NOTE…
50,000 expected. Yow.
April 8, 2025
ROAD TRIP!
I’ll be in Gainesville, FL for the Orange and Blue Game for a rare bit of actual fact-based reporting tomorrow. We may even live blog, if we can juggle the equipment properly, so expect notes on it tomorrow night at the latest. At the very least you may get a pic of the EDSBS.com staff, Stranko included, so you can see that we do get some occasional sunlight.
FAGG INJURED IN PRACTICE.
The Seminoles’ offensive woes mount with De’Cody Fagg’s injury in spring practice. We will post as much De’Cody Fagg news as humanly possible as long as he’s playing college ball. Why? Because his last name is Fagg and we have a very low sense of humor. Seriously. We’d post what he had for lunch if we get to type his name.
Little wonder that he’s a football player. Ever heard of “A Boy Named Sue?” We’ve found him.
DOC HOLLIDAY INTERVIEWS FOR MARSHALL GIG, COUGHS VIOLENTLY
Doc Holliday leading candidate for Marshall head coach. If they hire someone with that name, we’re instant Thundering Herd fans for life.
DENNIS DODD, MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS
Dennis Dodd tells us not to place too much stake in spring games. Articles to follow on running with scissors, swimming immediately after eating, and not playing around with old refrigerators…
THE BIG TEN, WHERE THE ONE-EYED MAN IS KING
Why hide your regional biases? We here at EDSBS.com live in the Sun Belt, where the education is crappy, the traffic and smog are smothering, but the weather is near-tropical most of the year. We run for the fireplace when the temp dips below fifty and wear suits with a neat crease in ninety degree weather. When we think about spending more than a few days in a row in a place like, say, Madison, Wisconsin, we start to consider Schopenhauer’s arguments about the nobility of suicide seriously. (Hey, it’s cold as hell in Germany. Of course you’re going to be a pessimist.)
Another punishing November in the southern U.S.A.
That said, we seriously fucking respect the Big Ten, and not for trivial reasons like a plethora of brilliant uniforms, or the legions of chunky (but mysteriously sexy) farmgirls in the stands. (more…)
RON MEXICO, STARTING QUARTERBACK FOR THE FALCONS
It seems Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick is not the only ladies man in the family. According the Smoking Gun, a 26 year old health care worker from Georgia has filed suit against NFL superstar Michael Vick alleging that he gave her Herpes Simplex 2. Apparently, in her abstinence only educational training she never learned about condoms. The suit goes on to allege that after testing positive, the woman confronted Vick who stated “I’ve got something to tell you. I’ve got it.” As good as that alleged quote is, the highlight of the suit thus far is the allegation that Michael Vick used the alias “Ron Mexico” when getting tested for the disease himself. There is no word yet on whether the plaintiff ever used the alias Jenna Jamison (note: this is a shameless attempt to attract unsuspecting perverts to our blog).
Now, who would use a bad porno-sounding name as an alias? Certainly not any of the contributors to EDSBS.com.
UNIFORM DEBATE IGNORES GREATEST UNI EVER.
Decent article on uniforms and the retro move. Sadly, it ignores our favorite uni ever, the Oregon Ducks yellow-dominant away jerseys from a few years ago. The sight of the Ducks playing in these under the lights made epileptics seize in the stands. We, of course, love them.
PUT DOWN THE PISTOL. UNTIE THE NOOSE.
Step down off that ledge, my friend. The Hawaii Bowl will remain in its Christmas time slot. In case you didn’t know the Hawaii Bowl existed, you’ve just proven my point about the total irrelevance of the bowl system.
