Heismanpundit gives the lowdown on Heisman campaigns. We invite everyone now to begin the guessing game to his real identity, since he’s only seen in public wearing his eyemask and leather helmet.
Have you seen this man?
Authorities arrest the man responsible for shooting Clemson lineman Cory Groover at a Clemson, SC area Waffle House. It’s safe to eat waffles again, people. Rejoice.
The Link-o-rama rolls on into the weekend here at EDSBS.com, this time trying to cover all four corners of this great land of ours with our hyperlinked tastiness.
-Setting the pace is the inimitable Paul Finebaum, shooting the shit with Spurrier while trying to goad him into a couple of fat Phil jokes. He does get Spurrier to say this at a pro-am tournament in Birmingham:
Spurrier, who was in Birmingham last week to play in a celebrity pro-am, couldn’t resist pulling out the needle, even for a nanosecond.
“I know coach Fulmer would love to be here in Birmingham,” said Spurrier, an avid golfer. “But he felt like his golf game probably isn’t quite up to par. I know he’s not too fond of coming to Alabama right now.”
Here’s hoping Phil doesn’t catch that super-creepy episode of the X-Files, “Home,” on tv anytime soon. He won’t sleep for days thinking about the deranged Bama fans who spend their days detailing cars and plotting his demise.
Phil, this guy’s waiting for you in Tuscaloosa.
-David Climer warns Urban Meyer about his tongue in the Tennessean. Considering that the guys over at the Gator Country forums really do seem to know what he had for dinner last night, we’d second that advice. Notable achievement: mentioning Gerry DiNardo and Meyer in the same column, which is kind of like comparing Downtown Julie Brown with King Kong Bundy in a wrestling column.
-Football program misery does have negative economic side effects, as this Post-Intelligencer article makes all too clear.
-John Rohde of the Oklahoman gives the lowdown on the costs of collegiate officiating. Pricier than you’d think.
-Joey Johnston profiles Bobby Bowden in The Tampa Tribune, still making the rounds at 75. Choice quote:
Bowden thought a little more about Urban Meyer, then smiled.
“I just call him Number 7,” he said.
Doug Dickey, Charley Pell, Galen Hall, Gary Darnell, Steve Spurrier, Ron Zook and … Urban Meyer.
Number 7.
Bowden: still sassy after all these years.
-Ryan Perriloux, golden boy freshman qb for the LSU Tigers, takes some advice from someone in LSU’s sports information department and backtracks on some old quotes in this article in the Times-Picayune.
-Further Meyer mayhem in Florida, courtesy of the Tampa Trib via Florida Fan.
College Football News keeps bringing the hotness with more unsubstantiated, specious, and kickass predictions looking ahead to the 2005 season. Our favorite description?
For Texas, guess what? Somewhere, somehow they need to step up from the pimp slapping that they got from Adrian Peterson and company last year and slow him down.
Ahh, when beating prostitutes has become a part of the vernacular, you know you’ve arrived as a civilization.
For a mere $50, the women of the Champagne-Urbana community can spend a day with Ron Zook and the Illini coaching staff learning about the game of football. Caveat Emptor ladies… we’ve seen what a little Zook schooling can do to a football team as we watched the University of Florida go from the #3 team in the country with a returning Heisman runner up at quarterback (who should have won but for those Heismandments) to a team with great talent that lost twice to Ole Miss and once to an abysmal Mississippi State team. Or perhaps the Zooker is just looking to broaden his recruiting base.
A familiar sight to Florida fans: Ron Zook looking unsure of what to do.
Stanford is bucking the trend of teams like Michigan and Tennessee, which have sought to top each other for supremacy as the largest stadiums in the country, in their new plans for a stadium redesign. Stanford, which does not routinely fill its 85,000 person stadium, is planning an overhaul with the aim of helping the game day atmosphere. The plans include removing some 35,000 seats and the track that surrounds the field, bringing the fans that are present closer to the action and each other. There is nothing worse than empty seats in an arena to kill that wonderful college football atmosphere (yes, we are looking at you Miami fans!) so we here at EDSBS.com salute those smart and savy Cardinals. A rowdy 50,000 fans right on top of the action will create a much better home field advantage than a sparsely populated and distant crowd…. of course that only works if the 50,000 seats fill up.
If the Stanford mascot doesn’t instill fear in their opponents, perhaps the new stadium will.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.
