EDSBS LIVE! HOT NOT HOT SHOW

What: EDSBS LIVE online radio Click that or the banner thingy to your right to listen…because Ragin Cajun Rebel is our co-host tonight while Peter Bean is taking “a German holiday” in Paris and looking to become the second Texan to make France its bitch. And unlike Lance Armstrong, Peter can do all the doping he wants.
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…Johnny Hangover! Actually, it will be Ragin Cajun Rebel, our anchor leg guest who will kindly fill in for Peter tonight. Expect…SPICE, since we will be appropriately discussing what’s going to be hot and not hot for 2007 in college football.
Four Questions: As always, our four questions for the night.
1. OMG What’s hoTT? We say the Mike Leach offense, which after years of skepticism is slowly sinking into programs in desperate need of offensive life (Baylor, Arizona, etc.)
We’ll also say the WAC, since writers can now name TWO whole teams of substance from the conference after Hawaii beat the daylights out of a hobbled ASU team in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl last year.
2. OMG What is soooo not hooooottttttt? Notre Dame, year three of Robot Geniushood: new quarterback, new-look defense, less offensive fireworks=grumbles grumbles grumbles. Plus departure of fabulously ab’d Brady Quinn instantly earns unhottness votes, since you’re replacing a circuit boy with Gel Cadet Clausen and company.
3. Call your hot boomlet right now. By this, we mean trendspot on the far edge of reality. We’re calling the hubbub surrounding Auburn/Alabama and buying stocks now. It’s been a down-cycle for the Iron Bowl; invest now and your hype shares are sure to blossom into massive profits.
Also dibs on any rivalry game Stanford plays this year, where hype points will skyrocket pending Jim “I BOW TO NO MAN” Harbaugh’s pregame taunting of opponent.
4. Pick your trend for 2007. Peter O’Toole drunk jokes, though those never really go out of style. Actually, and we mean this seriously-short shorts and pulled up socks rearing their ugly head in hipster quarters around the nation. Prepare to see more of your hip cousin’s inner thigh than you ever really wanted to see, junior.
See you tonight.

1. Colt Brennan For Heisman; June Jones to coach a BCS team.
2. PSU’s team discipline. God forbid Joe Pa make someone lift a finger.
3. The first call for Nutt to get fired after a close SEC loss based on QB play.
4. The How-To-FOIA-Your-Coach websites.

1) Having 10 ass-kicking running backs
2) Orson took my first answer… perhaps the “Bruins who HEART Dorrell” group on Facebook?
3) Teams running the hook and ladder against Boise State
4) EDSBS readers emigrating to the bunda zone

1. Rich fucking Brooks. I take back every bad thing I ever said about him as Kentucky’s coach, which means I’ve got a lot of back-taking to do.
2. The ACC.
3. Les Miles turning out to not be nearly as big a retard as everyone says he is.
4. Station wagons. When $4/gal gasoline means you can’t feed or clothe that big-ass SUV no mo’, you know you’re just gonna come crawling back to this — which, fortunately, now looks like this. (With God as my witness, this will be my next new-car purchase.)

1. Repeat of Song-Girl-Ass on national TV.
2. Charles Barkley as a football “analyst”
3. Saban shows up in Houndstooth hat. (and/or Holly invites TGC to left coast for Vols/Bears Sept. 1)
4, SEC > PAC-10 (the sequel)

1. the hot fire this season will be the option attack. its making a comeback! actually the hottest fire would be mcfadden from the wildcat running some option with felix jones. will it happen i can only hope. i also hope that arkansas runs some single wing cuz the may as well not start a qb.
2. Being the starting QB for ohio state. Last year it was all glitz and glamor and tossing the ball all over the field. this year with boeckman, schoencroft (or whatever wierd-last named qb steps on to the field) will be running a very Krenzelian offense. consisting of the famous hand the ball off play, and the wonderful 5-10 yard short pass.
3. my zany prediction is that texas tech will beat oklahoma in lubbock.
even zanier is that stanford beats ND.
4. fashion trend hopefully that hipsters and their ilk get some fashion sense and stop dressing like morons.

1. Everybody’s “junk” offenses. Apparently, the I and the 4 yard carry off tackle are dead.
2. The Big 12 North, and it is not coming back anytime soon.
3. FSU. Easy pick, but they are on their way back starting this season.
4. Holly’s own TV show. Some sort of bizarre reality show where “hatefucking Ronald Reagan” is acceptable language. She is like Sarah Silverman, only attractive, or so I imagine.

1. The ACC - Wake Forest? Ga Tech? 8 Bowl teams?
2. The Bear coaching tree in the SEC - Shula….gone, Croom….calling the realtor. Even the Tide had enough sense to look beyond Paul Bryant.
3. Anthony Dixon, RB, Mississippi State. The next big thing coming to a campus near you. Dixon is around 240lb and has enough quickness to gain serious yardage after breaking past the front seven. Also MSU’s offensive line should be better than average. Dixon may be the SEC’s best back in 2008.
4. Golf carts at tailgates. Tailgates are beginning resemble Del Boca Vista Phase II with all the carts putting around.

As well Ty should be blamed for this ND team. Any success or spark will come from the last 2 recruiting classes, this is the year weis has a pass on, we all knew that going in, better than 8-4 is gravy.

1) I have a sneaky suspicion that nebraska will have double digit victories this season.
2) real world: “snark” in any grammatical usage other than a part of a Lewis Carroll poem.
football: LSU minus a man-eating bear at QB (he mainly ate Irish people)
3) South Florida as big medicine/ pain in my ass in the Big East. Louisville has lost something like 3 out of 4 down in Tampa.
4) Lederhosen

SKLM’s answers of the week:
1. OMG What’s hoTT?
Boise State (Besides USC-west)
2. OMG What is soooo not hooooottttttt?
Notre Dame in ANY Bowl Game (non homer answer - Alabama)
3. Call your hot boomlet right now.
Ole Miss vs. Miss State (Typically, two dreadful teams fighting for the “We do not stink like the crap of the SEC†trophy)
Or,
Rosie O’Donnell vs. Elizabeth Hasselbeck (Just when the lovely Liz got some game, Rosie quit like a dog with fleas.)
4. Pick your trend for 2007.
Babe-Butt-Crack Jeans gone?!

In general, what is up with everyone in LA getting a DUI recently?
First it was the trampy girls, then it was Leigh Steinberg, agent genius, now Jerry Buss?
Those cops out there are not f’ing around.

1. The spread option~!~!~~!! ZOMG
2. The I formation
3. Besides you stealing the Iron Bowl, I’d go with UT/Alabama on the 3rd Saturday in October, then a rematch in the SEC Title game. Blood shed twice. Or even the “falls” of Wake and Rutgers, with South Florida being “this year’s Rutgers.”
4. Corgi dogs - the next big pet

1. Jorvorskie Lane on 3rd and 4th down. As much as I like to trash talk my friend who’s a TAMU fan, I do enjoy seeing the J-train flatten opponents.
2. The coaching seats for the two big men’s sports in Gainesville. They’re comfy and include drinks and massages.
3. Virginia Tech. Emotion, solid returning defense, good coaching. All ingredients in what could be a magical season for the Hokies.
4. Colleges with good men’s basketball and football programs. Obviously, UF and OSU showcased that quite well this past season(s). I think that at the end of both seasons there about 8 schools that had teams ranked in the top 25 in both polls.

Swindle Calls it Right…
Last week, Orson said that Lindsey Lohan was doing way too much cocaine. Less than a week later, LILO is skunk drunk, crashed and coked and back in rehab. That is life in the big city for babes with little brain, bad upbringing and bodies that wont’ quit….

1) More character screening in recruiting to keep the Fulmer points down. The 3-3-5 defence, once it gets perfected (like the Steelers).
2) Arkansas: Ice Ice Baby Too Cold . . .
3) Nebraska’s stock will go up and is neva gonna come back down.
4) Wireless energy, via satellites. Commercials will be so entertaining that they will go viral, bypassing TV. Rugby will be a nationwide sport in America, with ESPN coverage. Gallagher will make a comeback (Howie Mandell did). I kid. There will be a high school BCS, national televised and all.

Ah, the magic of unchecked homerism-I read #19’s third answer and was honestly taken aback for a minute before it dawned on me there might be folks who don’t view Third Saturday In October as the be-all end-all of games already.

1) ASU (pre-scandal) - Residual offense from Dirk Koetter era coupled with newfound defense and a slew of JC transfers will be HOT! HOT! HOT! in a way only an ASU can be.
2) J. D. Booty - Finds out what its like to ride the bench after debilitating loss to ND. Sanchez to take over for dirty Booty.
3) Illinois will come out of the gates on fire, until Big 10 (11?) portion of schedule and [NAME REDACTED]’s play calling brings them down to reality.
4) Argentinean Cheesecake. Keep up the good fight Orson!

Holly,
The 3rd Saturday in October isn’t the end-all, but it’s heated and is one of the biggest rivalries in the south. Our 2 schools haaaaaaaaaaaaate each other. It would be talked about alot more nationwide if our two schools weren’t mediocre right now.

1. So HOTTT - Georgia Tech has a QB who can see over the line, and a RB who can charge through it.
2. So Not HOTTT - the ACC; our league is not hot right now, no siree.
3. Hot Boomlet - SMU football return to respectability and a bowl this year.
4. Pick your trend for 2007 - The death of one or more major college football radio personalities, From the Big XII and SEC. Damn that Feral Hog sausage!

Well done tonight lads. Swindle you were outstanding as always. I never thought I would live to hear another cackle as wonderfully epic as my 92 year old grandmothers, but damn if yours isn’t close, both in sound, pitch, and general awesomeness. Hearing it puts a mondo smile on my face every time.
And RCR, mon ami cajon- tres bon aujourd hui- magnifique mon frere! Fantastic debut.
IF RCR isn’t doubling up next week, then I nominate TCOAN as next week’s co-host. Would be great success.
On the walk home after work I was dreaming/hoping of a parallel universe where 40 astrophysicists hijack the message board of Bobbi Blowjob’s internet radio show and piss everyone off with jargon from their world. Dare to dream…

This is the first and only year Weis and ND gets a pass due to Willingham. Willingham recruited OK the first year and a half (those players are pretty much all gone) while he mailed in the rest of the time. That lack of depth is what is facing the Irish now. Therefore a lot of freshman and sophs will see action this year.
If ND goes 8-4 I will be pretty happy. 7-5 I won’t be disappointed with. I do think there is more than enough talent there to be be better than 6-6 though. Weis doesn’t deserve a pass if ND goes 6-6 or worse.
If I was a betting man, I would bet ND goes 8-4 this year with wins against Georgia Tech, Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue, Stanford, Duke, Navy, and Air Force and losses to Michigan, Boston College, USC, and UCLA. Although I would not be shocked if the Penn State, Georgia Tech, or BC games went the other way.

Of course Weis deserves a pass this season, it’s not like Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer, or Pete Carroll could do anything in their first three years. Did any of them manage to beat a top 20 team in that amount of time?
