EDSBS LIVE! THE LOSERS EDITION

Click here to join the show!

What: EDSBS LIVE online radio Click that or the banner thingy to your right to listen.

Where: At NowLive, where you can chat with each other and the show hosts throughout the broadcast in the online forum (which has gotten damn lively). To phone in to the show, just call (310) 984-7600.

What: Tonight’s special guest is…YOU. Because every guest we have is special. Also because we dawdled, couldn’t find anyone for the show, and have to just stock our hour and a half with wall-to-wall listener mayhem. So if you call tonight, we’ll get you on, and get you off in only the way that two sexed-up dorkbots like Peter and ourselves can.

Four Questions: As always, our four questions for the night.

1. What is the worst team you’ve ever seen? Vandy, Rice, and Prairie View are all eligible receivers here, though if you have a really, really good one for a single year, we’ll take that, too.

Anyone of Carl Franks’ Duke teams is a good call, though ‘99 South Carolina’s also a spicy pick: 0-11, and tore down the goalposts after beating New Mexico State the next year.

2. Tell us the team you would wish football anthrax on.

Tennessee. A thousand times, Tennessee. Just because their sorrow fills us with such joy, an we’re not joking: when they lose, we have the power to point to dying flowers and instantly bring them back to life, and beer flows in rivers from our nipples. Unlike John Daly, that’s actually the result of temporary magical powers, and not a side effect of overconsumption.

3. Who’s the worst player/play you’ve ever seen?

Reggie Ball in any game against Georgia ever. His upward curve of ineptitude against a single opponent made you weep on principle alone. Forgetting the down, throwing interceptions on the final play of the game, fumbling, doing all three at once while getting into a fight with the trainer…Ball under center against Georgia wasn’t sport. It was illustrated cruelty ballet in form-fitting fabric and padding.

4. Because we asked what the best song was last week…what’s the worst possible song you can think of to make love to?

Anything by System of a Down? We’ll toss any prog-rock into the nominations barrel, simply because of the time changes. If you’re fucking in 5/4 time one second and switching to a tricky samba the next, you’re going to break your dick or lose gap control and rush the wrong hole in the line, son. And nothing ruins a good game like rushing through the wrong hole without audibling clearly.

CAJUN YOUTUBE: THE FOURTH VARIETY OF LSU FAN.

From the superb comments thread below on the “Things We Know” article, we find this about LSU fans thanks to CW from Rakes of Mallow:

I’m not sure what things are like in Baton Rouge, but the LSU fans we encountered at the Sugar Bowl could be divided in to three categories:

1) Older fans, starting in the mid-20’s and up who were nice before and after the game, including offering us a Tigers t-shirt in the elevator after the game so we could go out on Bourbon in something other than our tear-and-Hurricane-stained Samardjiza jerseys.

2) College-aged female fans who certainly carried the “Southern women are so hot” torch well.

3) College-aged male fans, who generally filled the polo-wearing, Southern frat stereotype about as well as they possibly could while screaming random things all of the time.

Combine one and three, and you will have the missing fourth variety: this guy.

We think that guy summed up his own situation better than we ever could in a single word. And that word would be “Thathowieterryizzacajunboyyyeeeandwillbeeeeerazzzunfragfrrrraglahllhherrrrrggg….”

PETER CARROLL TO SCHEDULE BC, UVA, TEAM OF ARMED NAVY SEALS.

Pete Carroll really will schedule anyone. We fully wanted to begin this post by saying that USC does schedule aggressively out of conference, then undercut the whole thing with a “you only play the Arkansases of the world” bit of snark + gag or two=bloggalicious content w00t!” Unfortunately memory got in the way, as USC has played Nebraska, Auburn, Virginia Tech and pretty much anyone else they could stack on their plate over the span of the Pete Carroll era.

The trend continues. Bill’s got a piece over at the Fanhouse about USC’s ongoing peeps into the ACC. Ever on the mack for more recruiting lebensraum and national profile, Carroll’s got USC already playing UVA in 2008, and plans to double up his Atlantic Coast Conferenceness with a proposed date with Boston College in 2011, a year in which Carroll plans to all but rubber-stamp his express ticket to hell by potentially beating both prominent Catholic college football schools in a single season.

Go ahead and start selling the “Highway to Hell: Trojans 2011″ t-shirts. They’ll pay for your retirement home in Oriental Mindoro in no time flat.

THINGS WE KNOW FOR SURE ABOUT OTHER FANS.

Always nice to begin a piece with a bit of self-endorsement, which is precisely what we’ll do: if you haven’t listened to the Tony Barnhart interview from EDSBS Live this past Tuesday, you should, and not just to hear us on the tail end of an epic caffeine bender.

The best line in the whole thing doesn’t come from any of the participants, but rather from the dead and great Lewis Grizzard. Barnhart mentioned the line Grizzard had on the Clemson-Georgia game:”It’s more than a football game. It’s their way of life against ours.” No one’s ever issued a statement more perfectly encapsulating why, mid-game, you may actually look at the otherwise pleasant and similar people wearing different colors than yours and suddenly feel like you gazed upon the primitive celebrations of a lesser, hairy-knuckled tribe unworthy of having clean water and healthy children-and certainly unworthy of being on the same field as your obviously superior, fully-evolved football team of gridiron samurai.

The irony in all of this is that most people accuse the opposition of being guilty of something they are, by demographic, equally or more guilty of the offense themselves. Nothing’s funnier to the outsider than watching SEC fans accuse other SEC fans of being “redneck” or trash, especially when the rest of the country walks around with this mental cheatsheet of regional prejudice in their head:

However, since we’re soooooo scientific, which individual myths about fanbases are true? (more…)
