Joe Biddle bemoans the lack of marquee SEC qbs in his column. We have to agree-when the conference first-teamer is Jay Cutler, clearly you are a conference in transition.

Watch Mark Richt squirm! Thrill to the site of Mike Degory’s huge, lumpy skull! Listen as Sylvester Croom’s voice triggers the seismographs at UAB! Live video and a blog from SEC Media Days in Birmingham is up on Al.com, though you’ll have to wait on the good stuff since Alabama coach Brick Tamland Don David Mike Shula won’t go on for his session until later today.

Loud noises! Bright lights!

In a move that shows that Ron Zook’s voice just “keeps getting better and better”, he’s been invited to perform the seventh inning stretch rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”. We here at EDSBS are hoping some blogger gets a hold of that video or audio and puts it up on the net.

Colorado running back Brandon Caesar will miss his second straight season to knee trouble. Caesar will be undergoing surgery today to repair the knee tendon that he tore two days ago during summer drills.

Struggling Joe-who wants to kiss you-points us in the direction of this Huskersextra article on Bill Callahan, Genius, and his aggressive recruiting in states that were previously fallow territory for the Nebraska. This article also serves as a reminder that, in case you’d forgotten, online recruitniks are almost as creepy as Phnom Penh sex tourists.

OBC SOS continues to reclaim his status as agent provocateur ASAP by getting SC VIPs PO’d over his revocation of scholarships to local VHTs. The timing’s not great on this one, especially since the State also brings us the story of Cory Boyd’s yearlong banishment from the program for unspecified reasons.

Viva la Sun Belt! The PubClub puts together its list of top party schools and places Florida third, just behind FSU in second place and Texas at the top. The Sun Belt dominates; only Wisconsin and Penn State make the top ten outside of the region, which should up your respect for both schools’ commitment to drinking despite freezing temperatures for much of football season. Nice thing about Florida-while we may have passed out in a few yards, we never had to worry about dying from exposure while doing it. Being kidnapped and sold for body parts in the Bolivian black market, yes; losing a leg to frostbite, no…

The Wisconsin Student Center may not look comfy, but the drinks are cold, dammit.
