Show #12: Now in HD!

Welp, we’re still alive and back with our yearly show.
If you haven’t heard, we’ve upgraded our equipment to bring you this podcast in stunning HD.
We say that we’re going to get this out because we’re lean and mean and just the two of us. Dave is trying to get elected and Willie is, well…, not here.
Topics:
- Current college football
- The Apple announcement
- Lost - sort of.
First off - some college football. Basically we diss on the OU “Shouldn’t It Be UO” Sooners because they somehow pay off manage to get ranked #1 in the initial BCS poll. Apparently the computers like the Sooners while humans prefer Ducks. And ducks. Because, really, who likes cheaters…
We try to figure out the BCS computer rankings.
Past Rankings x Present Rankings / Future Rankings + pi (not the dessert) + the historical rankings of the school x the amount of money the school could make the NCAA= Strength of Schedule
Done. Boom.
Now to OState. We throw around a bunch of stats that make us sound competent. EJ then goes on to prove to Chris several of his points - how Holgerson was actually the OC at Houston; how the Cowboys are more pass efficient and throw down the field better than Hawaii and Houston; while OSU has had some great athletes at QB, they’ve never really had a pure passer that could pinpoint the ball until Weeden; and how Bobby Reid makes us sad.
Moving on from college football to college football babies - we give Lane Kiffin entirely too much airtime - as any is too much.
Now, This Week in Cowboy Football!
Welcome to America’s Largest Homecoming Celebration: OSU takes on Nebraska for probably the last time in the regular season. We again throw around all kinds of stats to try and prove that the Cowboys will win the game without taking the field.

Did you notice the new intro music? Mr. Gore is gone (for now, temporarily, permanently, who knows), but in his place is the smooth sounds of Mr. EJ Hayes.
- Why you trying to kill my phone?
- The level of hypocrisy here is deafening.
- So I’ll take my “thanks” back.
Three statements that define this show. And once we finally get past our long-winded intro, we finally get into the heart of the discussion: the iPhone killers. *dun-dun-dun*
This ‘cast talks about the iPhone’s downfalls: no feedback from typing, lack of 3G support, lack of enterprise support (at this time), and we have the facts to back ALL of this up. We also review Blackberry’s latest attempt at driving the stake into the iPhone’s heart (not that it’s even close to being “killed” at all) is the Blackberry Bold. (MSN review of the Blackberry Bold - I know MSN isn’t exactly known for their hard-hitting tech news, but it’s the one we found that included the “touch-screen” quote)
“Technology is the new opiate of the masses.”
How would you like to be the guy who gets to come up with this headline: “Man Dressed as Darth Vader Spared Jail for Attack on Founder of Britain’s Jedi Church.” I don’t know about you, but when I think “Jedi church,” I think some sort of Catholic ceremony with lightsabers. Apparently it’s nothing like that. I actually found video of the attack, and if this is really it, it doesn’t seem that bad. In fact, I don’t think I saw any blood, but, oh well, here it is. For the commentary from a real expert, check out this YouTube video from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
“Give me a teaser explaining the teaser.”
Welcome to the world, Grand Theft Auto IV. You violent piece, you (Please put in your real age if you click on the link).
Sidenote: Lost is set to record.
Ok, back to GTA, the sales of GTA have eclipsed every other game and many movies released - 3.6 million units/$310 million in the initial 24 hours. Why is the game so addicting? Because you can go over to a friend’s house, sit on the floor, put in GTA, use the cheat code to get the flamethrower, run to the nearest intersection and just start turning around in a circle and torching everything in sight.
In related news, EA makes bid for Take-Two, which counts GTA IV as one of it’s assets. Can you imagine Madden: GTA version?
What’s NaNoWriMo? How do you say NaNoWriMo? Who is NaNoWriMo? Is this thing for real? Let’s go to the FAQ’s. You know what’s a “hoot”? Counting all those effing words. It’s just icing on the NaNoWriMo cake. For an artistic novella, check out Willie’s new book with the word “crap” and it’s variations.
“Chew on that.”
Check out Traveler Blues. Dave and Barrett are working their little fingers to the bone, much like all of the great British blues-rock guitarists of the 1960’s did with their guitars, to bring you the best in music.
“Get it on.”
***Lost SPOILER ALERT*** Please don’t listen if you don’t want to know.
Show 7 called on account of Lost. Happy viewing. By the way, Lost streams in HD on ABC.com.
