EDSBS LIVE Gets Drunk on the Delicious Tears of Aggies

by Peter Bean on Nov 29, 2011 5:36 PM CST in Texas Longhorns Football

Texas basketball isn't your only entertainment option tonight. It's Tuesday, which means another edition of EDSBS LIVE, the most outstandingly mediocre college football podcast online. Not mediocre, however: devoting the majority of 90 minutes drinking the intoxicating tears of Aggies. My co-host Spencer was in College Station for A&M's hilariously apt Thanksgiving send off, and I, of course, could tell Aggie jokes until A&M wins an SEC title, which is to say: forever. Needless to say, tonight's episode will feature a coterie of football fans having fun at A&M's expense.

Of related note, Tuesday is also the day for Brian Cook's essential "This Week in Schadenfreude" column over at the mothership. This week's edition is the best of the year, stuffed to the seams with delightfully insane meltdowns, including, of course, contributions from the reliably ridiculous TexAgs forum. Speaking of which, and since it didn't make an appearance in either Spencer or Brian's columns today, I am legally obligated to make sure you are aware of this epic thread: "Who Won Halftime?"

We are all winners for that thread. Thank you, Texas A&M.

If you're not heading to the Erwin Center and don't have the Longhorn Network, do drop by our podcast playground this evening and jump on the forever-spinning merrywheel that is laughing at Aggies. Bear in mind that by Saturday we may be back-to-back losers against Baylor, so join me in spending this week reveling in the fun.

The show gets under way at 7:00 p.m. CT. Listen to the audio here. Join your fellow college football miscreants for the show's live chat here.

Don't berate us TOO much

We aren’t all corps guys, Bean. Congrats on the win. Talk soon.

Now, now

It’s no fun if I always have to add the qualifier that there are a lot of smart, normal folks on the other side. Certainly on the heels of our last meeting for a while, it is time for unqualified reveling.

More seriously, thanks for the hat tip, and absolutely: I look forward to chatting soon.

76-37-5. Now GTFO.

Thanks for the links to Schadenfreude and TexAgs

Well worth spending my last few minutes reading before heading home. With lines like this . . .

So thank God for Houston Nutt. He’s dead and so is his athletic director because the pit of suck they’ve sunk Ole Miss into is such a tar-laden cornucopia of indignities that the fanbase remains at maximum wroth.

. . . you know you are in for a good time.

The halftime band thread is laden with so many golden internecine invectives

that I almost wanted to join Texags just to congratulate them for giving me 15 minutes of hilarity in my rather boring day.

27-25: SCOREBOARD - to infinity and beyond!

should change the name of it to "Midnight Bleat"

Because being a Texas fan means never having to say you're sorry.

tears du jour

No mention of their CFO publicly calling bowtie a putz on texags?

There’s fresher tears out there Bean.

Hi, I'm HuskerFan and I'm a college football addict

Which means on Thursday night I had nothing else to do but watch the Lone Star Showdown (it’s still called that right?). I’m obviously not a huge supporter of either team but just wanted to watch some good football on a classic Thanksgiving evening.

At the end of the game though I couldn’t help but let a small smile slip out as the longhorns set up for a makeable field goal from a drive that was aided by a “horrendous/questionable” call. And as your kicker booted it through the uprights I thought…

“karma’s a bitch”

call in show afterwards

We listened to the call in show on the drive home and the radio announcers were wondering if they got “the nebraska treatment” in that game. They were very aware of yalls send off.

Also, that call, which there was obviously helmet contact, only put us on the 38.
