But Can USC Get Judd Apatow On the Sideline?
College Football, Movies September 11th. 2008, 9:15am
With Snoop drifting to the LSU football bandwagon (did Will Ferrell stray, too?), the Trojans have been forced to rope in Academy Award-winning celebrities for Saturday’s GAME OF THE CENTURY with Ohio State.
celebrities such as Academy Award winning actors Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx will be among the estimated 150 to 200 fans holding sideline passes
Not listed, but probably in contention: Will Smith and Joe Montana with their sons.
On the actual news front: Beanie Wells practiced Wednesday, and he’s being listed as 75 percent healthy. And one of the reasons the anemic OSU offense helped the Bobcats look like the Steel Curtain last week: The Buckeyes scaled back the play-calling so not to reveal any of the “surprises” they might be in store for USC. Like, you know, a screen pass.

While I love to root against OSU, you guys better not shit the bed this weekend. With the steelers throwing a beatdown on the browns, an OSU blowout loss…well it wouldn’t be good for some of the ohesians around here.

Remember the wWll Ferrel/Mathew McConehey monologue before the USC/Texas Rose Bowl. Fucking Classic.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:20 am
The “Buckeyes scaled back” story is all speculation, not fact. Ohio State wasn’t losing that game through three quarters because they weren’t calling offensive plays, they came thisclose to losing because their defense couldn’t tackle and their offensive line didn’t block.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:21 am
No way. I thought they were really that bad!
You mean Tressel does that the week before EVERY big game? Oh.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Is a 75% healthy chris wells really the way to go? There isn’t a capable back-up at 100% that is waiting in the wings?
September 11th, 2008 at 9:22 am
suck. a. dick.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:23 am
I’ll take the song girl on the right. As for the game, i think it will be a close one with USC on top.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:25 am
They scored once on that defense that couldn’t tackle.
The other score was a gifted defensive TD.

who the fuck is judd apatow?
September 11th, 2008 at 9:26 am
SG…you’re dead on about the OL tho. they were ATROCIOUS.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:28 am
SG, you down with a fur burger every now and then?

that’s going in the book of Tampa Bo’isms.
by the way, you owe me a new keyboard. mine now has coffee all in it.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Is there any way they can both lose…
September 11th, 2008 at 9:49 am
miz-bill me
guinnessgirl-they can both lose and USF can win YEA! GO BULLS!

“who the fuck is judd apatow?”
He’s like the 2000s version of the Farelly Bros. Made one good movie and then rode the same formula to millions of dollars before the fanbase woke up and realized they were basically watching the same jokes over and over again.

Ok, that’s it. I’m a Buckeye this weekend. Will watching this game be tolerable? I wonder if I’m going to see more football or celebrities during the game.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:53 am
miz – Rinse with DI water and let dry (upside down would work best). Mine’s working fine after doing that same thing a couple days ago.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:53 am
See plenty of celebs on tOSU’s sideline in the form of all the future NFL stars.

Judd Apatow is the Producer of all the Seth Rogan movies. Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Pineapple Express, Anchorman, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
KC, which was the only one you thought was good? Farrelly Bros. have a bunch of good movies too.
September 11th, 2008 at 9:55 am
is apatow too obscure?
September 11th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Guinessgirl – I’ve done extensive research on this topic every time LSU plays Alabama. I’m afraid the only way they can both lose is figuratively.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Benji -
I may have been too hard on them. Kingpin for sure and I think they did Outside Providence which is way underrated and a different mold of movie. The rest of their shit is garbage. They are wannabe Coen Bros. since back in the mid to late 90s.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Apatow is the shit right now….40 year old Virgin, Super Bad, Knocked Up. All three were awesome.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:00 am
It was worth a shot..
September 11th, 2008 at 10:01 am
The cast from ‘The Wire’ has sideline passes for Morgan State games for life.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:03 am
KC: they definitely did make Outside Providence which was my ace in the whole when you said that Kingpin or Dumb and Dumber were the only funny ones. There’s Something About Mary and Me, Myself & Irene were both pretty funny. But not on the level with the other 3.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Benji – I didn’t like Mary. I’m probably the only male in the 18 – 35 demographic that can say that. Of course, I dislike Ben Stiller so maybe I didn’t give that movie a chance. I forgot about Dumb and Dumber. So, I was definately too hard on them. More coffee, please.

All I know is that if OSU loses Spencer is going to hear about it for the next 10 years. You seem so confident and I just don’t see why. Road game against the top team in the country with your best player at no more than 80%. Personally I want OSU to win because nothing would be better than the Buckeyes getting housed by a third SEC team for the third year in a row.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Step into my office…
September 11th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I am a Buckeye fan who is not confident about this game at all, and I don’t know a whole bunch of people in Columbus who feel too good about this game.
Also, 40 year old virgin had some decent lines, but wow was that movie boring. Very overrated.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Gods are you one of those cool SEC fans that chant for your conference after big wins over teams like NC State?
September 11th, 2008 at 10:28 am
im supportive, but not confident at all.
just because im a vocal buckeye fan, im going to hear about it? why, because i argued when the entire, non-ohio sports world said that the team i root for might as well just pack it in and quit?
September 11th, 2008 at 10:34 am
I’m just hoping for a game that is close in the 4th quarter. I’ll probably be drunk by the second though.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Spence I think every other poster on here should declare all their teams, and whenever they are supportive of those teams, we should make fun of them when those exact teams loser their given sporting event. That would be so much fun wouldn’t it?!
September 11th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Me too. The only problem being that I’ll be at work.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Cursed – I’m a Minnesota fan. I’ve heard everything that can be said already.
/jaded
September 11th, 2008 at 10:37 am
cursed…im all for that. like cassino, who rags on the buckeyes with alarming disregard…and then goes and roots for the washington huskies.
oh, that’s right, i forgot the buckeyes play d-1aa schools every week and that teams like michigan, PSU and wisky are no better than fresno state and troy.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Most uninformed words ever typed. Of course it was scaled back. All you had to do was watch the tOSU offensive possession immediately following the bad snap for an OU touchdown. That should have ended any speculation.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:40 am
cursed, um, we already do that.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I actually hope OSU wins, but I don’t think they will. I think USC wins by 7 or less. nothing would make me happier this weekend than OSU walking out of the Coliseum with a W, and of course a Vol victory over mighty UAB.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Cursed you are overrated, 40 Year Old Virgin was one of the best comedies I have seen.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Does this include some of the drivel that Maggs has typed?
September 11th, 2008 at 10:45 am
didn’t someoen say yesterday that Oklahoma/Washington would be closer than OSU/USC?
yes, someone did say that. it gave me a tumor.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:48 am
This should give all us Buckeye fans a little added confidence. I think Beanie is better than 75% and he will be used as he would if we was 100%.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:51 am
I wish Apatow and Rogen would go under their rock and stay there. 40 Year Old Virgin was great, other 10 movies since: not so much. My biggest problem with their latest movies: does EVERY other word of dialogue have to bo “fuck”? Do these stoners even know how to write? They use “fuck” as much in a sentence as a 13 year old girl uses “like” in a sentence.
/Man I just sounded like my Father. Forgive me.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:53 am
if i got a dollar everytime i said fuck in a given day, i’d be the richest man in the world. i think you underestimate how close this type of dialogue hits with
stonerspeople in their 20’s.September 11th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Fuck is a great word, it can be used to many ways.
For example.
Stop fucking complaining about Judd Apatow using the word fuck in his movies or somebody might fuck your shit up.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Wow OSU fans are not conceding a loss, so we are over the top and obnoxious. yeah…makes sense.
/nice logic-must suck to NOT support you favorite teams
September 11th, 2008 at 10:57 am
@cbh:
Like i was just like trying to make like a point, you know. It’s just that, like, Seth Rogen plays like the same guy in like every movie, and I don’t think that’s he’s like very funny.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:59 am
Clown is the TBL Sergeant at Arms. He tracks this data on a cool VisiCalc spreadsheet.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:59 am
blazers…let me add to that.
OSU fans upset that the ENTIRE NATION is tying us to a truck and dragging us down the road apparently makes us obnoxious as well.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:17 am
just would like to add something that I feel like nobody addresses:
USC song girls = O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D
/spelled out cheerleader style
September 11th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Gods…i have a quick question for you, if you’re still around.
on your site, you said that OSU’s only ‘big’ win came against Texas when McCoy was starting his 2nd game. but it doesn’t matter that Mark Sanchez is only starting his 5th game, and aside from one stat-inflated start against ND, has a paltry 3/4 TD/INT ratio? especially considering that the toughest (haha) defense he faced was Oregon?
September 11th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
You can rip all you want on the Huskies when it’s relevant. Ohio State is always talked about, so they’re always going to be ripped on because they’ve proven that they’re usually ranked about 5-10 spots too high.
Just to throw out there about playing 1AA schools, there are 5 teams that have never played one. 3 of them are from the Pac-10.
Not sure what you’re laughing about. Oregon’s secondary has been the best in the Pac-10 the past couple years, and one of the best in the nation. They give up an inflated number of passing yards because they’re almost always playing with a lead.
September 11th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
cassino…i didn’t mean to single you out, because there are many others, but since we’ve debated all week, you were the only one i could remember vividly.
regardless…they’re ranked. and until we get a playoff, you or i have no idea if they’re ranked too high. bottom line is, if the other teams took care of business, OSU wouldn’t be up there. blame the system, not the team.
that’s pretty easy to accomplish when you face one legit team a year in USC, then a bunch of also rans. you insult OSU for playing a weak conference schedule, but use Pac-10 conference stats to back up your points when the rest of the conference sucks. sure Oregon was fantastic with dixon last year, but that’s more the exception than the rule.
September 11th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
If the SEC is the measuring bar, then the Pac-10 stacks up pretty well. 10-6 in the BCS era. I’m fine with OSU playing a weak conference schedule as long as they keep scheduling a team like USC or Texas to play nonconference.
Another thing that nobody ever seems to mention is that the Pac-10 had the balls to go to 9 conference games when the schedule expanded to 12 games and play a true round robin, while most teams used it to add Cupcake-U.

September 11th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
USC plays 5 road conference games this year. Can any other NC contender say that?
