KEEPING THINGS CLOSE TO THE SWEATER VEST

Ohio State HBC Jim Tressel is mum on who will take the first snap from under center as the Longhorns travel to the Horseshoe for the first time ever (hard to believe). He’s sticking with the “we have 2 starters” bit which is bound to bite him in the ass eventually.

WE’LL PLAY IN A POPEYE’S PARKING LOT

Tulane’s football program is running on duck tape and happy thoughts right now. Chris Scelfo, their coach, has adopted a damn-the-torpedoes attitude toward Katrina’s drastic effect on their season:

“I’ll play in the parking lot of a Popeye’s Fried Chicken and so will my team,” Scelfo said.”

Scelfo has slept nine hours since August 28th. Tulane will play out their season in Ruston, Lousiana at Lousiana Tech’s facilities. La. Tech, scheduled to play Florida this weekend, hasn’t exactly been unaffected by Katrina, either.

SEXY RESULTS AND THE SHOCKER

Ian from Sexy Results types ’till the keys beg for mercy in his roundup of the weekend, including the requisite yawns for Al Groh and encomiums for UGA’s Tee Martin, D.J. Shockley, aka…the Shocker.

The Shocker, a surprise on the football field and in the bedroom.

IF WE CONTROLLED ESPN, WE’D REPLACE TREV WITH…

Since Trev Alberts, not convinced of his status as one of the five or six luckiest bastards on the planet, said goodbye to ESPN last night in dramatic, R. Kelly-ain’t-showing-up-for-the-show fashion. Acres of webspace could be used to describe just how breathtakingly retarded Alberts was to do this, but we’ll focus on the present and take a moment to nominate those we feel would bring some new life to the stale Gameday set.

The dead body of Justice William Rehnquist. A perspicacious jurist, controversial but principled; a gifted historian; a public servant of estimable integrity and undeniable dedication. Would lend his unique brand of owlish gravitas to a lightweight Gameday studio crew. And despite his lack of participation due to death-related circumstances, would still be more insightful than Trev by default.

Dead, and improvement over Trev.

WELCOME BACK TO MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY!

Our readers come through again this week with a superb mustache heads up. This week it is Jerome “Jappy” Oliver, defensive line coach at the University of Notre Dame, compliments of Bill from Baredown.

When he’s not coaching the defensive line, he’s making us laugh on the WB. Thanks to LD from Gunslingers for that one)

EDSBS BLOGPOLL TOP 25: WEEK ONE REDUX

If the preseason top 25 represents the best amalgam of past success and anticipated outcomes, the week one Blogpoll has got to be the worst, a hulking zombie of half-dead expectations struggling to life against Little Debbie competition. And like anything fed on junk food, it’s not exactly the best-looking thing in the world.

A few ground rules: teams that played and won earned a higher ranking. (more…)

CLAUSEN NAMED STARTER FOR VOLS

Fulmer is trying to undo his week one mistake and has named senior captain Clausen as the starting quarterback for the Vols matchup with the Gators in the Swamp. Lest you fear for the end to a quarterback controversy, Fulmer indicated that Ainge will still rotate in much to the delight of the Gator Nation.
