In EDSBS.com’s infancy we had an early and promising appearance by our wondering correspondent, Doc Pedro, which was well received and even generated some of our first non-relative based comments. Well, he disappeared for a while but has resurfaced on my instruction to begin providing for our loyal readers our Ivy League preview. Today we begin with Doc Pedro’s own Alma Mater, Dartmouth.
IVY League Preview: Dartmouth College looking players (open tryouts) : by Doc Pedro
After a few months of intensely investigating the steroid trade in Tijuana; I am back to for EDSBS.com’s annual profile of the IVY League.
Doc Pedro didn’t find the steroids, but Viagra was aplenty.

Just because we gave up the digital demon doesn’t mean you have to-NCAA 2006 is coming, people. Stock up on canned foods and bottled water. Pay your bills in surplus for at least two months. It’s coming…
In case you hadn’t gotten enough of the draft…let’s speculate carelessly about next year! Man-crush victim Pete Fiutak, our most favorite web slave in the whole world, posts his prospects to watch for the 2006 draft.
Just in time for the upcoming media warm-up to the season, disgruntled FSU fans now have something in common with Florida fans: a coach-hating website dedicated to his removal: www.fire-jeffbowden.com. It’s not up yet, but the test page certainly looks promising. Of course, the real culprit in this situation is Diddy Bowden, who put his incompetent son in charge. But FSU fans would sooner scalp themselves than follow the trail of responsibility upwards to the man in charge, whose nepotism has been forgiveable so long as the ten-win seasons kept coming. Anyone want dibs on www.firebobbybowden.com?
The draft is the end of the road for collegiate players, the point of transition to the somewhat soulless pro game and a life of abundant cash, endless casual sex with beautiful partners, and an obligatory segment on Cribs where you show off your improbably expensive house that, for all the money put into it, resembles a baby La Quinta hotel.
The Tampa Airport La Quinta? Or Randy Moss’s new house? Or both?
What the hell does this mean for the college game? Plenty. (more…)
Ever suspect the guy you were rooting for was a little dense or you want confirmation that the guy you’ve been heckling really isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer? Well, thanks to the NFL draft and the Wonderlick test, you can confirm your suspicions… unless you were heckling Alex Smith, who did quite well. If you’d like to test yourself, check here or to see some historic scores click here.
We like to joke about him, but think of Arkansas coach Houston Nutt today. His father, Houston Nutt, Sr, died last Wednesday at the age of 74 following a series of strokes. Senior spent his life working with the Arkansas School for the Deaf and played basketball under Adolph Rupp at the University of Kentucky.
Ohio State AD Andy Geiger has excommunicated overly supportive booster Robert Q. Baker from the church of the Buckeye for giving 500 bucks to qb Troy Smith, a gift that caused Smith’s suspension from the Alamo Bowl and did little to dispel OSU’s reputation as a program under siege by meddling boosters. Kudos to Geiger for sending the message; it certainly raises his status as someone committed to enforcing a rule every now and again. As for Tressel, though, we still wouldn’t trust him with the keys to our neighbor’s 74 Vega. Something about that goddamn sweater vest makes us suspicious.
Underneath his innocent exterior, we suspect Jim Tressel would buy your soul for a donut.
Notre Dame had their spring game this Saturday in which the blue defeated the gold 28-6 after a rousing pregame speech by Joe Montana. For more details, click here, but in a nutshell, Brady Quinn looked good which should have Irish Eyes smiling again if that hold true in the fall.Most notable though is the fact that there were close to 24,000 fans there (not too big of a deal compared with the Gators and Gamecocks earlier this month) despite snow and a wind chill of 23 degrees. That’s hard core.
Jesus, it was cold at Notre Dame’s spring game. Sorry about the pic edit, Stranko, but I can’t devote that many pixels to the Irish. It’s a matter of principle. They get God, the rest of us get bandwidth…
Fanblogs is all over the latest burgeoning collegiate steriod scandal, this time at San Diego State. David Ohton, the former strength and conditioning coach for the Aztecs, and offensive line coach Damon Baldwin are accused of…let’s say, gently suggesting players take performance enhancing drugs. Like by cutting their playing time if they didn’t take them. Money quote from the Salt Lake register:
Offensive lineman Raul Gomez recalled being called into Baldwin’s office with another player early in his career. He said Baldwin suggested he bulk up and told him, “Steroids are like protein, only 100 times better.”
Players named the easy-to-access source of the ‘roids, too: Tijuana. We’re pretty sure this is not what was intended by the architects of NAFTA. Somewhere, in an undisclosed location deep under the Texas topsoil, Ross Perot is chortling to himself…
Bert pays a visit to SDSU’s special pharmacy in Tijuana. VIVA NAFTA! For more fun pictures of Bert around the world, click here.
