Semi-OT: Do you guys remember when EDSBS posted content?

I remember the Lee Corso slow jam. 10 years later, that remains the funniest thing I've ever read/listened to on the interwebz.

I like that they've ripped off "SCum" from UCLA fans, without understanding that it's supposed to be intended for USC, hence the capital "SC".
OSU fans at least manage to grasp that in our case it should be "scUM".
October 10th, 2016 at 9:19 AM ^
taken from their site and posted here - that had it as scUM. Writing about use when they were bitchin about playing bad against BYU. smh

There may not be a consensus on the matter. But "SCum" is definitely in use over there.

Magnus, you are not normally where I turn to when thinking of humor - but that was hit out of the park my friend!!!

I understand that audio/video content brings in way more ad revenue and may be easier to create but I hate when sites that produce great written content produce less of it in order to produce other media.

of some British knucklehead playing Minecraft and making (not funny) comments. Then they tell me that he makes half a million dollars EACH MONTH!

I saw a bridge in Brooklyn this past weekend that I would like to sell them. Please have them contact me with your credit card number.

I'm afraid there's a LOT of things about our immediate future you're not gonna love Yo. Guys getting paid for juvenile internet content is just one of them. But it's easy for us to avoid, except when our children listen to it out loud.
Go ahead, look how much some people are making for Vines. You'll cry, and then you'll take a rudimentary iPhone video production crash course and try to join em. Trust!

That Minecraft guy has like a bazillion subscribers. I can easily imagine him pulling down $0.5M per month.
October 10th, 2016 at 9:31 AM ^
Agreed, and much worse is when they make a video or podcast of what they could've just written down. It's one thing to make video that needs to be video, like Stuffing the Passer. But I confess I've never once listened to an MGoBlog podcast (or practically any podcast, ever) because I don't want to spend an hour listening to something I could read in ten minutes.
October 10th, 2016 at 9:42 AM ^
This ^^^^^^
Aside from content, people that write are not necessarily the best for recording - either audio or video. Listening to most writers talk about things is something for their friends and spouses to do, and can be a painful experience for the rest of us. Writing - that's where you started, and should be where you end. It's what you're good at - do it!!!

I used to listen to a ton of podcasts but now that I work from home, I don't drive nearly as much and rarely listen to them.
I try saving up a bunch when I have long drives but unless I'm driving I have a hard time listening to them while working, etc

move of Jane to MTV and Nanni's recent jump into fatherhood are among the factors contributing to lessened #tronctent. Additionally, their willingness to abandon popular pieces before they grow stale (HAS, for example) has caused some gaps in regularly scheduled programming.
October 10th, 2016 at 10:08 AM ^
I'd agree with the above here. There's been a lot of change and turnover happening at the same time. Unfortunately, the level of content has suffered. They used to have LSUFreek too who has kind of stepped out of the spotlight completely, only really emerging for Les Miles getting fired. Jane is at MTV with Holly Anderson, two EDSBS alums. Nanni just had the kid. Spencer seems to be traveling a lot.
I do wish they had more of ActionCookBook's corgi doing college football rankings. Overall, they probably could use another person or two to provide #content.

They claim it wasn't successful, but their Shutdown Fullback videos were hilarious. It was so low rent and weird, like an [Adult Swim] program. I still go back to see the one with LSU's Cajun lawyer.

the beauty of written content is that you can consume it at the rate you want to. Feel like skimming an article about Bret Bielema's favorite foods? 30 SECONDS IS PLENTY I GET IT HE'S FAT AND BROISH. Want to spend 10 minutes lavishing in an article about Saturday's Piscat-porn thrashing of Rutgers? Read it thrice!
But with a podcast, you're locked in to listening at the rate that they speak (or rather, that you can speed it up to), which is waayy slower than reading written content. I get that maybe its more lucrative for them, and the EDSBS folk have corporate bosses now, but man, it's a shame they don't write anything anymore other than the occaisional Serious Article that Spencer writes. Guy was the funniest sportswriter alive!

It was an excellent way to get a good sense of the fan bases around the country (or at least a selection of them) in one spot, along with some funny content. They used to have one for noon games, one for 3:30pm, and one for night -- all user-generated content, so I don't see why those went away. Seems like it would be cheap & easy. Do they not have a moderator, even a volunteer? Did something else happen (e.g., they are gun shy b/c of some incident)?
It's a real bummer there are so few posts now (no Hatin' Ass Spurrier; can't recall any LSU Freek gifs this year, etc). Not the end of the world, but it was my third favorite CFB site (after this and TTB), but now I just occasionally drive-by.

I miss the Fulmer Cup... you have to Google it now because it sure isn't obvious on that hot mess of an unorganized site.
