Bored with the NFLAh, kickoff. And the OBC to start off the season, no less. I'm trying to figure out how much I'd pay to get a live feed from his mic for the game -- in Imaginationland they offer this on PPV -- and I'm thinking I'd gladly shell out $5 for such a service. Lord, I can't stand the guy. But he's funny as hell.
Spurrier taking on Butch Davis Tom O'Brien will certainly whet the appetite and if you're into rooting against guys that beat Ohio State, Harbaugh and Stanford welcome Oregon State at 9:00 on the Deuce. But based on what we know about you guys, a certain hot little sideline reporter will prevent the channel change to ESPN2.
Fowler, James and the Bachelor have the battle of the Carolinas while Ron Franklin and Ed Cunningham will do the Oregon State/Stanford game. I'm not an announcer wonk, but Franklin gets his share of love from those that are.
The Buckeyes won't be the only marquee attraction on the gridiron this weekend as Herbie's prep football classic returns for it's fourth year. Saturday features four pretty nice matchups in both Canton and Cincinnati and though the games in Cincinnati look better on paper, Johnny Simon of Mooney will be taking on Covington Catholic at 5:00 PM in Canton.
The other Buckeye recruit that will see action is Duron Carter when his #4 St. Thomas Aquinas squares off against Elder. It will be a tough game for Elder, but the home-cooking should help. After all, it was good enough to help snap Charlotte Independence's 109-game winning streak last year.
Saturday's headliner in Cincinnati features #9 St. X facing #26 Prattville (AL). Here's the full schedule.
Dylan Horowitz from Dottingthei.com was selected as a semi-finalist for the 2008 Gillette Rookie Reporter Showdown. The winner gets a chance to be a reporter at the 2008 World Series and although he'll be squaring off against 47 other candidates, we can do our part to swing the vote. To do so, head here and get your democracy-on. His audition video is quite good (not many of us have been introduced by Erin Pageviews before) and you're eligible to vote once per day.
The guys at Waiting For Next Year were kind enough to have me over for a podcast in which we discussed the impact players on each side of the ball, the strength of the Big Ten and the difficulty teams faced after playing the Badgers (they love your work, BrotherBuck). I pop on around the 10:10 mark and managed to drop the expression "super bonus", whatever the hell that means.
If you're a fan of Cleveland sports, WFNY should definitely be in your browser speed dial.

butch davis coaches UNC, not NC state
Erin Andrews looks smokin hot in that outift tonight.. my oh my...
Good catch, BC. Not sure what I was thinking/drinking/smoking when I penned that. And to think -- we'd almost made it through an entire week without a factual error!
hmmmmmmmm Erin Andrews
Hey, ESPN told me South Carolina is going to contend for the SEC title. God, I hope that's true cause they look AWFUL.
Unless the ACC's NC State is just that awesome...nahhhhhhhhhh.
Man, they do look pretty sucktacular.
OBC must have lit into them at halftime.
Did anyone notice that after Beecher got domed, and when Erin Andrews was getting her sideline reporting on, that the SC trainer was massaging Beecher like he was his girl. Before I realized it was the trainer I thought, holy shit, OBC has his coaches acting all Daddy on his players. But then they showed some archive footage that highlighted Erin Andrew's tookis, and life was good.

Glad I could contribute. On the verge of another season kickoff I've been anything but productive at work, so at least I've done something this week.
That NC State/Cocks game was one of the worst displays of offensive football I've seen since Cooper started Austin Moherman against Miami of Florida. Wow. I tried to switch over to Oregon State/Stanford, but couldn't stop throwing up. Harbaugh on one side, and Oregon State's awful QB Mouvea on the other. Horrible.
I thought Erin Andrews didn't look so good last night. I'm not one for the Farrah Fawcet feathered bangs look.
Yeah, that NCSU-SC game last night was one of the ugliest games I've ever seen. I might have expected it if it were pouring down rain, but it wasn't. Erin Andrews did look excellent though, I thought.
